At HUMAN HEARTS
A Large Audience De-
Iiqhted With the Pre-
sentatiOn.

A splendid audience that showed it's
delight at the admirable presentation
of Human Hearts" enjoyed that mar
velously successful melodrama at ths
Academy of Music last night.
The play has been seen in Raleigh
before and it is a favorite. Able COM
panies have before this pleased audi
ences here with the play, but no su-
perior presentation, all in all, has been
seen to that given last night under the
of Mr.. Jay Simms, ~
charge of this popular production Oh
w. E. Nankerville.
The story that is told in the play IL
an idyl of the Arkansas hills and its
last night scored big
success for the company, in which
there are no weak places, the entire
cast giving a finished clear-cut per-
Torrance that has in it the tensity OF
a life struggle, the tearing open OF
the deepest of wounds in the human
heart. Suffering is seen and great
moral lesson is told, but comedy Is
not forgotten in the absorbing story
of love, hate, injustice and retribution

her excellent presentation OF the char

seasons of the past.

ABSORBED IN HER WORK.
Woman Writer Had Most Unusual
Gift of Concentration.

Mrs. Somervlle. the popular scien-
titic writer. had a wonderful gift of
concentration. She wrote her books
dealing with the phenomena of the
universe with the hustle of family life
in full swing around her. Her hus-
band once made wager with a friend
that he would abuse her to her face
while she was writing, and that she
would remain unconscious of it. Ac-
cordingly. one night, as she was alb
sorbed in composition, he said to his
friend: Would you ever imagine that
my wife rouges? It's a fact What's
more she wears a wig and her teeth
are false Her daughters were in
roars of laughter. but she went on
placidly writing. At last her husband
said: Mrs. Somerville" in louder
tone, and paused. Then she looked
up and asked innocently. Did you
speak to me, dear?'-London Globe.

Animals Utterly Without Reasoning

Animals have no language. Ian.
guages are conventional signs Of

NAL sounds are instructive and are
instantly recognized by all the mem

do not think in the way human beings
do. They do not learn the alphabet
or the multiplication table, learned
horses ard pigs to the contrary not

man can teach an animal to do things
which express thought: but the
thought is in the mind Of the man and
not in the mind of the beast, and is
communicated by signs which suggest
certain actions. When a pig tells the
difference of the time between Boston

but it is now known that it is a habit

common sense and its follies, new
data for the study of the animal mind.

Dogs That Wear Shoes.

The dog does all the work of drag

bruised and sore. Then his driver
makes him soft little moccasins of
buckskin or reindeer skin. and ties
them on with stout thongs of leather.
In this way he will travel easily, un-
til his feet are thoroughly healed up;
then he bites and tears his shoes with
his sharp, wolf-like teeth, and eats

SEEKING A LOST ART.
Modern Scientists BanIed in Enorts
to Temper Copper.

Fame and fortune await the lucRy
individual who can rediscover the con-
biEation of metals from which the
Egyptians. the Aztecs and the 1noas
of Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each of these nations reach ed
high state OF civilization. none of
them ever discovered iron. in spite Of
the fact that the soil of all these com
tries was largely impregnated with IL.
Their substitute, for it was combira-
tion of metals which had the temper
of steel. Despite the greatest efforts
the secret of this composition has baf-
fled scientists and has become lost
art The great explorer Humboldt
tried to discover it from an analysis
of chise found in an ancient Inca
silver mine, but all that he could
find out was that it appeared to be a
combination of small portion of tin
with copper. This combination will
not give the hardness of steel, so it
is evident that tin and copper could
not have been its only component
parts. Whatever might have been
the nature of the metallic combina-
ton these ancient races were able
so to prepare pure copper that 1t
equaled in temper the finest steel pro-
duced at the present day by the most
scientifically approved process. With
their bronze and copper instruments
they were able to quarry and shape
the hardest known stones, such as
granite and porphyry, and even cut
emeralds and like substances. re-
discovery of this lost art would revo-
lutionize many trades in which steel
at present holds the monopoly. If cop
per could thus be tempered now its
advantage over steel would be very
great and it would no doubt be pre-
ferred to the latter in numerous indus
tries. 1t is curious fact that though
this lost secret still battles modern
scientists it must have been discov-
cred independently by the three races
which made use of it so long ago.

FRANCE CONTROLS MOROCCO.
Will Be Ruled by Sultan Under French
acknowledgements to Furnish
Field for French Colonization.

The most interesting event in the
recent history Of Africa is the con
clusion on October as to the future
OF Morocco. That country has been
bone of contention for many years.
Nearer to Europe than any other Afri-
can land, more bOuntifully blessed
than most of them with natural re-
sources. it is the most unfortunate and
the least known part Of the continent,
says the New York Sun. In two-thirds
OF 1t white men cannot travel without
an armed escort.
II has been a closed land. because
the prize was so great that no Euro
pean power could gain ascendency
without incurring the disfayor Of sev-
.eral other powers. These difficulties
have now been swept away. France
is to be the controlling influence. The
country is to be ruled by the sultan
under the advice and with the moral
and material support of France. The
gates are to be opened to the COM
merce of all nations. All treaty rights
hitherto enjoyed by other powers are
to be conserved. The lawless parts
of the country are to be compelled to
accept the suitan's rule. Resources
are TO be studied. trade developed, rail
roads built, and Morocco started on
new and modcrnzed career. This is
the scheme on paper, and when we
think of the wonders France has
wrought in neighboring Algeria and
Tunis. who can say that he domina-
tion in Morocco will not be a blessing
to that country and the world.
Many Frenchmen believe there is
nothing outside of France of greater
importance to her national destiny
than the future of Morocco. That
country is the necessary complement
of Frances colonial domain in North
Africa. Morocco offers the last chance
for the French nation to extend the
area occupied by its race. almost all
the remainder of its empire being only
tropical lands where colouists of
French blood cannot thrive. They
say that the work done in Algeria and
Tunis is a guarantee of what will be
done in Morocco. In those once bar
barous countries there is now a EEro-
pean population of 100000 in Me
midst of 100000 natives, win for
elgn commerce of over 500 100000
francs a year.
With good government there Is no
doubt that the French in MoroccN may
repeat the history of development in
Algeria and Tunis Morocco is richer
In minerals than those lands. 1t is
the part of the Berber countries which
receives the most rain and has the
most fertile areas. 1t is protected
from the burning winds of Sahara by
a barrier of mountains and its many
Watercourses are never drained by
