NEW OPERA HOUSE FOR DOVER
Directors Will Decide Whether TO
Erect Building at the State
Capital.
Special to the Evening Journal.

Special 10 the Evening JputiAAs
Dover. March 8.-The directors OF the
Dover Opera House viii hold a meeting
in their property. corner North and state
streets tomorrow evening and win decide
what steps TO take In the future regarding
the proposed erection of an Opera House
for Dover. One OF the directors said yes
terday afternoon that the board Of di-
roctors want the cooperation Of all OF the
people interested in the movement and
that the directors intended 10 push tho
Opera House building for all II was worth.
Manager Herbert IL. Blackiston, OF the
Peoples Theatre has had several offers
from large stock companies which jump
from Norfolk, Va, 70 esther Wilmington
or Philadelphia and have an open date
between Norfolk and THE northern cities,
saying that they would play in Dover n
suitable arrangements could be made. or
course there IS not suitable buliding in
Dover where these large companies could
be accommodated.
The building which IS now used as an
opera house Is situated on the third floor
of feed store ON South State street. and is
very small. Not more than 200 persons
can be accommodated at the most and
should fire break out. or any other danger
occur. the place would prove a ventable
death trap. There is but one flight Of
stairs and no fire escape Is attached 10 the
building.

Ha-noo a Funny Game.

A game popular among the Tlinkits
a tribe of Indians in southern Alaska
is called Ha-goo.
The children range themselves in
two parallel lines. In the center OIL
one line Is a player who holds aloft
a pole with a brightly colored piece
of cloth floating from 1t. Then, from
the opposite line advances little girl
who holds out her hand for the deco
rated stick, while all her companions
make faces, say funny things and
"cut capers" to make her laugh.
II she smiles, ever so lightly, she is
out of the game; but If she can keep a
solemn face she takes the stick and
goes back to her own line while one
of the opposing players moves across
the open space and tries in turn to
keep straight face.
This goes on until there remains
only one player who has not smiled,
and this one wins the game for the
side.
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1903-06-18

that the atmospheric pressure out
side Is greater than 1t Is inside the
glass and that pressure holds the
two objects together. The object in
greasing the surface of the plate Is
to make a tight joint between that
and the glass, so that the outer air
cannot get inside the latter.
For the second experiment expend
a plate as shown in the picture and
adjust the strings so that 1t will
hang level. Get bottle with hol-
lowed out bottom-all wine bottles
are made in that way-and having
rubbed grease around the rim Of the
bottom hold the latter over the spout
of boiling tea kettle for a moment.
The hot steam will take the place of
the air in the hollow, and if you now
press the bottle firmly against the
under surface of the plate and hold
it there for a moment or two YOU may
take your hand away and the bottle
will not fall off. This is merely an.
other Illustration of atmospheric
pressure.

Rowing Is a Great Strain.

Every lad in the land grows enthu-
siastic when he sees or reads about a
close contest between oarsmen for
the mastery over each other and in.
wardly VOWS that when he grows to
manhood he will show the world feats
of skill! and strength that will awaken
admiration. But he does not stop to
consider at what cost the oarsmen Of
to-day reach the perfection necessary
to insure a triumph over their rivals
A medical paper discusses the
"health of the oarsmen' and comes to
no very definite conclusion as to the
effect of training and racing on the
after life Of the varsity star Some
years ago the late Prof. Morgan in his

Game Of SIyphs.

For active young folks the game Of
sylphs Is the latest form of amuse
ment. 1t Is in reality electric battle
dore and shuttlecock. The two play.
ers hold a wand each, these wands
having been electrified by friction.
The shuttIecock Is represented by a
butterfly made of collodion. The but
terhy is thrown into the air, and one
or other player approaches the tip of
his wand to the so-called sylph the
electrified wands repel the butterfly,
which skins away as the wand draws
near. In this way the butterfly is sent
flying hither and thither without being
touched. A very good game, with prop.
err rules, is made from this idea.

Stone Forests.

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifaction-whole forests
being found in some places which are
hard as flint, but which look as II but
recently stripped of their foliage
Some of these stone trees are standing
Just as natural as life, while others
are piled across each other Just like
the fallen monarchs Of a real forest
Biologists say that the trees were once
covered to the depth of 1000 feet with
mari, which transformed them from
wood to solid rock. This mari, after
the lapse Of ages, washed out, leaving
some Of the trees standing in an up.
right position.

An Experiment In Air Pressure.

This article Is not an advertise
ment of a cement warranted to mend
chinaware and glassware stronger
than it was before, although the pic
ture looks like 1t. No cement or glue
of any kind is used in the experiment,
and yet the plate and the wineglass,
in the one case, and the plate and the
bottle in the other, are stuck togeth-
er pretty much as il some material Of
that kind were the means employed.
The adhesive force is nothing more
nor less than the pressure of the at
mosphere; precisely the same force
that enables boy to lift brick or
stone by means of his leathery
sucker"
