BIG FLOATING THEATRE
Fully Described in the Scientific Amer
ican--Wll Float to Cairo in
the Spring.

Perhaps the most interesting of new
vessels plying the Ohio, Illinois and
Mississippi rivers is one built upon
an extensive scale for use as floating
theatre, says the Scientific American.
The seating capacity is for 1000 peo-
pie. and there are boxes for the elite
and pit for the orchestra. In add.
ton. the vessel is sufficiently large
to admit of numerous sleeping rooms

or the boat The entire force mum

pittsburg and visits the towns of the
coal miners and steel workers along
the Monongahela river Next it re
turns and goes down the Ohio to the
Kanawha thence to Cairo and later
up the Illinois river to La Sale. Then
after going back to the Mississippi,
the boat slowly makes its way in the
direction of New Orleans. The idea
of a floating theatre is not exactly
new. but the extensive scale upon
which 1t is being conducted and the
fact that n il the drama instead of
the vaudeville program that is be

a familiar air The crowd on the
wharf then grows larger. Many are
ther awaiting the frs opportunity to
secure reserved seats. When the boat
touches the wharf the sailors, some of
whom are later transformed into ac
tors, make the vessel fast and put the
gangplank in place, The scenery is
arranged and the orchestra rehearses
while the cook is preparing the next
meal in the kitchen. The people come
aboard and select their seats, instead
of doing SO from a diagram on shore
AT night the theatre is brilliantly

That wealth is one of the most COM
parative of terms, those in moderate
circumstances often being considered
"rich" by persons of less means, was
aptly illustrated by an old colored
nanny in East Baltimore several
days ago. She had been doing the
laundry work of certain family for
quite while, but, deciding to leave
the neighborhood, she had come to
tell them that she would no longer
be able to perform these duties. The
lady of the house, wishing to secure
another good washerwoman, inquired

Theodore Edison, the 6-year-old son
of the inventor, gives indication even
at his early age Of possessing some OF
the ingenuity of his illustrious father.
He has not yet begun to dabble in in
ventions, but he has shown marked
originality in his choice of pets.
Among them are five baby alligators
which he brought from Florida last
winter, and he loves to make the Wis
itor at the Edison home acquainted
with them. Recently, when his moth

Young Edison is particularly proud
of his pet alligators. The Edisons
have winter lodge on the east coast
of Florida, and it was there that the
little alligators were acquired. The
first thing Theodore does when he has
visitors is to take them to the tub in
the yard, and for their edification pick
his pets out of the water one by one.
But he has another pet which IS
much dearer to him than all the alli-
gators in Florida. He is proud OF his
"wpeglers" because they are curlos-
tiles, but the lack of affection which
they display and their utter indlHer'
ence to his coming and going prevent
them from becoming prime favorites
with him.
It is a little gray rabbit named Star
that is closest to his heart. Star and
Theodore understand each other thor

rabbits eyes when the boy leaves It,

chiIdren.s Riqht to be Heard.

Mrs. NJ. N. Van Vliet of Chicago has
come out in defense of the child at
home in opposition to the old adage
that a child should be seen, not heard.
Mrs. Van Vliet says child should be
heard as we'll as seen. She asks the
pertinent question, How can a child
be expected to be all that an ideal
man and woman should be If for the
first fifteen years of it's life 1t has
known nothing but repression and
suppression, and its opinions have
been scorned as Of no weight and
value? Mrs. Van Vhet argues, and
doubtless argues from correct prin-
ciples, that children have their rights
in the house as well as father and
mother. One of these rights Is to be
heard. To be constantly suppressing
the impulse of the child to give ex-
preston to it's thoughts retards men,
tai development, declares Mrs. Van
Vliet, prevents the cultivation of the
faculty of thinking clearly and speak
ing concisely and fiuently, and de-
stroys that poise and self-reliance
which are SO essential in the grown
man or woman.-Washingt Post.

MAGNESIA AS A WEAPON.
More Convenient and as Effective as
Revolver.

Revolver.
Every man who is out late should
carry bottle of magnesia water win
him." said Police Captain Burdine the
other day. There is no law against
it, and it is far more effective than
pistol. 1t isn't concealed weapon
and is just as deadly, when it is not
used as a medicine.
"Not long ago a young fellow whose
business keeps him out late at nlght
was carrying home with him one OF
these bottles. 1t was in the pocket OIL
his raincoat Head down, he was
breasting the storm, bound for MS
home port, when woman rushed out
of the darkness toward his port side.
"She begged for his protection. Her
arms were extended, and she was COM
ing at him like football player ready
to tackle. The young man was wise.
He side-stepped, and thought OF the
bottle just in time to use 1t as a
burly individual doomed to starboard'
a blackjack in his hand.
"There was just time to hurl the
bottle into the fellows face. 1t ex-
ploded with report that sounded ike
a bomb. The man, terribly cut and
crying from the pain of the acid In
his wounds, fed. The woman went
with him.
Later a man in terrible pain stag
gered into the station house, saying
a dynamiter had hit him. 1t was Bill
the Brute We very much wanted
him" New York Times.
