Power From Waye-Action.

Probably upon no other single
subject, save that of navigation Of
air, have SO much thought and en-
ergy been expended as upon the con,
servation and utilization of the
power e1erted upon our sea-coasts
by the force of the waves. And Ger
taiply since the days of the alchem-
lists and astrologers few themes of
thought pursued for practical ends
have resulted in so little reward to
their students. For with all the
theories of securing power from
wave-action that have been evolved
with all the designs of machines for
such purpose that have ben drawn,
and with all the patents that have
been granted upon such drawings
l do not know to-day of a single
machine that is an unqualified sue
cess, or for which the success stoutly
claimed by the inventor is borne out
by the actual operations of his
working model.-JoHN E BENNETT,

The Play "Ben Hur."

Usually one approaches a play
made on a really powerful novel with
misgiyings, but with ben Hur" this
is different and herein lies one of it's
greatest charms. In this wonderful
production, when they essay to show
you the inside Of a galley with a
Prince of Hur at one of the oars, it
is a stage picture that suggests the
very environment and takes on the
'semblance of reality. The same
goes with all the other pictures, from
the categorical one in the prologue,
showing the Wise Men discovering
the Star of Bethlehem; and onward
through those stirring scenes of Je-
rusalem, preceding Hur's arrest to
the galley, the rescue and the Grove
OF Daphne, which is a picture of
Oriental splendor and pleasure COM
bined, as beautiful as has been set
for the gaze of theater-goers in many
day. Then comes the great chariot
race, the acme Of stage mechanism.
and the great scenic. triumph of the
piece. 1t goes off with a whirl and
picturing the Circus at Antioch, with
the struggle between Messiah and
Ben Hur" that fires the interest of
the spectator to the highest pitch
