BUTTERFLIES TO ORDER.
Extinct Species Revived and New Ones
Created

Wonderful discoveries in zoology are re-
ported to the State Department by United
States Consul Liefeld at Frieburg, Ger
many. He says that Professor Standfus OF
Zurich, after many years of experiments,
has made a discovery which, If genuine, is
likely to revolutionize science in general
and zoology in particular. Briefly it con-
sists in creating new species and races by
the influence of high and low temperatures.
The Swiss scientist, up to now, has con-
fined his experiments to butterflies, and has
obtained remarkable results, but there is
no reason why, under similar conditions,
the same effects may not be produced upon
bird and animal life. Taking some 5000
ordinary caterpillars in their different
stages of metamorphoses, he exposed them
to temperatures varying from 40' to-' c.
09' to % F.. Most of them developed
into butterflies of ancient species, which
are now very rare, while others developed
into totally new species, SO far unknown
to scientists.
Certain butterflies are characterized by
successive and different generations. For
instance, the chrysalis of the butterfly Ven=
essa levana gives birth in the spring to but
terfieS which lay eggs in summer. In the
same year these eggs produce butterflies
which differ completely in form and color
from those of the first generation. The
former are named Vanessa levana spring,
and the alter VaneSsa leYana summer BY
submit lg the chrysalis of the second form
to temperature of 3O' c. (I0 FL, the first
form is obtained. The same results have
been accomplished with the Vanessa ur-
ucae rare butterfly, found only at the
North Cape and in Sardinia.
An ancient species which had entirely
disappeared was obtained with the Papilio
plachaon in the same manner. During the
experiments butterflies which are found in
districts so far apart as the Arctic circle
and the torrid zone were produced. Even
more surprising were the hybrids obtained
from the effects of crossing under the in
f1uence of heat and cold. Gorgeous speci-
mems of all the colors Of the rainbow beau
tfully intermingled came forth and de-
yeloped under the care of Professor Stand
fus, who was himself surprised at the re-
suits Needless to add, all the ancient
species produced are extremely valuable
from pecuniary point of view, while the
less.

CorIINGA TTRACTIoNS
New National Theater.

THE Wizard of o. which met with
warm approval here last season, will be at
the New National again next week. The story
of the little Kansas girl who is whilred
with her farmhouse home TO fairyland by
a cyclone, her adventures with the loose
LANDED Scarecrow and the oily-jo,nted Tin
Woodman, the lion and the frisky cow.
and her endeavors to get back TO her Kan
sas home through the friendly efforts of
the Wizard, who rules the land of Oz, are
sufficiently fanciful to afford opportunity
for a great variety of grotesque comedy
pantomimicry, dancing and abundant music
of the light, jingli lg type, BETTING such a
production. The cyclone is a unique illu-
sion, and the transformation of the poppy
field, with its glowing red flowers, from
summer 20 winter, ranks with the best
achievements in modern scenic art. But it
is chiefly because of the inimitable imper-
sonation of the Scarecrow and the Tin
Woodman by Montgomery and Stone that
1.-The Wizard of Or has taken a strong
hold upon popular fancy. Anna Laughlin
and Lolita Faust lead the display of fem
mime beauty.
Matinees will be given Wednesday and
Saturday. The curtain will rise evenings

A STARTLED WINNER.-DeWolf Hop
per, that mountain of joIlity who is at the
Columbia Theater in Wang is known all
over the country one of the best all
round card players in the theatrical profess
sion, from classic bridge" to the seductive
national game of poker. He relates a story
of an interesting game of poker he partici-
pated in last summer when upon a little
hunting trip in the pineries of Wisconsin.
1t appears that while upon the trail one
morning he came across party of lumber
jacks who were in the midst of a hard
game of poker and upon being invited to
join them, noticed that there were chips
in evidence, but piled high close to the
toughest man in the bunch was huge pile
Of merchandise.
He asked one of the party the reason of
this display of furnishings, and was told
that the men never received any money
while in the woods, but the companys store
always furnished them with all the goods
they required until they returned to town,
when whatever balance was coming to them
was paid in cash.
Hopper sat in the game, and at the end of
the sitting, he says, he arose having as his
share of the spoils 3 pairs of brogans, L, 152
pairs of socks, 9SI pairs of mittens and SO
pounds of tobacco. Next summer he says,
Me for the tall timbers of Wisconsin and
the lumber jacks.
FROM SONG AND DANCE TO STAR
|DOM.-Montgomery and Stone of THE Wiz
ard of o. obtained sudden eminence by their
odd eations of The Tin Woodman and The
Scarecrow. A few years ago these young
comedians were known only in the vaude-
vile houses. But in THE Wizard of or"
they displayed talent for grotesque charac-
terization and became the most important
factors in the success of this extravaganza.
Fred Stone formerly walked the high wire
over the canvas in the free show attached
to a western circus. One day in a wind
storm he lost his balancing pole, and almost
his life. Later he joined his present part
ner, David Montgomery who was the lead
ing endman with a minstrel company.
Quitting the minstrel band In Chicago they
came east and secured engagement in
vaudeville. Their unique dancing attracted
the attention of Charles Frohman, who
engaged them for Edna Mays company in
1.-THE Girl From Up There in London.
Montgomery and Stone endeared themselves

to the British and remained on the other
side for three seasons. A cablegram
brought them back to this country to
create the roles of the Scarecrow and the
Tin Woodman.

Columbia Theater.

A revival of the comic opera Wang will
be presented at the Columbia Theater next
week.. the usual Thursday and Saturday
matinees being given. The temperance of
this popular piece of nonsense has been
greeted with enthusiasm at New York, Chi
cago. Philadelphia. Boston and other cities.
The cast is claimed to be one worthy of
more than passing comment. Mr. Hopper
has chosen those who were we'll fitted for
their roles, and who rival that coterie who
assisted him over fourteen years ago to
make Wang the success 1t was. IT'S true
there will be no Della Fox, nor Alfred
Klein, but their successors are well known
and, it is claimed, capable of giving a good
account of themselves. Marguerite Clark
plays "Mataya," the Crown Prince; Ada
