Love Story of Solomon Dis covered.
The French Academy of Sciences Is
anxiously awaiting further news from
Abyssinia, where Hughes lie Roux has
discovered manuscript telling the origi-
nal story of King Solomen's love affair
with the Queen of Sheba. The story IS
written on tablets OF clay, and not a
single sentence is missing. The French
author has already begun translating 1t
in conjunction with native scientists,
which the Emperor Menelik commanded
to assist him in every way possible. AS
soon as the weather permits, lie Roux's
party will enter upon an exploration oil
the Zannia Lake Islands, where great
treasures Of ancient manuscripts are said
to await discovery. The Christian Abys'
sinians, it seems, hid their sacred writ
ings on these islards during the Moslem
conquest of the country.

 concocted. He secures the attention of an audience from the very beginning of the first act, and holds it through out the whole play. The plot of the piece is full of heart interest. ands it's development is accomplished in an ori- ginal, as we'll as a novel manner.
 Two children have been engaged. for the reason that it is necessary for each of them to alternate with the other at the various performances, the strain being too great for repeated performances by one person. The com edy characters are those of a French man and an Irish servant girl. and are really very funny. The scenic et- fleets. which are unusually elaborate include the interior of the famous Grace church at night while wedding ceremony is in progress, the interior Of the criminal court, and the justly fam ed Palisades on the Hudson during a winters night while a terrific snow storm is in progress. The mechanical effects used to produce this snow storm are among the most brilliant and won derful creations of stage mechanism. Regular theater prices. Evening, $1. D, and 50 Matinee 50 and 25.

 Not only in the manufacturing line IS tariff beneficial to a nation For some years I lived on the Isle of Man. Owing to the Gulf Stream flowing past 1t and it's being near Liverpool, this is land could be made to yield large ag- ricultural returns. The winter climate IS very mild; roses and camelias bloom outside in December. All kinds of fruit could be cultivated if a market could be found for them. But peaches, grapes, apples, beef and wheat pour in 10 the market from America free of duty, and the old cry goes up from this little island. too, It doesn't pay," The contrast between the farmer in Eng land and the United States is remark able The formers apathy, dogged stu pidity and unscientific methods of agri- culture are largely due to the crushing poverty of his life and the unprofitable return for his labor.
