reigning success Our New Man."
when that play is presented on the
boards of our opera house. OF the
play itself much has been written
and it's reception has been most fav-
orable and the concentrations Of the
press have been, while critical, yet
of such good nature as to advise
every to go and see it again. This
fact actentuated with the fact that
Mr.. Beresford, one of the most virile
of the present day comedians, will
play the leading stellar role, should
add additional interest as this young
man brings methods new to the stage
to aid in his characterization. His
own personality and eccentricities
Of manner accumulated by the play
wright's lines gives to the role a
most ludicrous complication. The
company that will support Mr.. Beres-
ford is of more than usual excellence.
The staging of the play will be Of a
sumptous nature and the costuming
on n scale of magnificence that will
certainly please the feminine portion
of our theatergoers.

time this month. Barker is Eng
lands new bloodless surgery expert
who has made wonderful cures Of
limb malformation He is not a
doctor, is entirely lacking in medical
training, and has no knowledge of
the science of surgery. He works
somewhat along the lines of Dr. Lo-
renz. of Vienna, who cured Lolita
Armour. but he does not administer
anesthics to his patients. nor does
he encase in plaster of paris a limb
on which he has operated.
Barker Is SO years old. For years
he worked among the people of Lam
cashire and only recently he has
come into prominence. Now he treats
as many as SO patients a day. During
his stay in America, Barker will ex-
hibit his work to the medical profess
sion.
Barker is a powerfully built man,
with hands and arms that show ex-
traordinary development. Harry Chap

was badly swollen; then, without

the bonesetter told him to stand up.
The Sheffield man placed his foot
on the ground. and then, with a grin
of delight, walked about.
Now go home" said Barker;
"bathe your ankle with carbonate of
soda solution until the bruises go;
don't play football for couple of
weeks, and don't take anything to
drink. Goodbye" And the man who
had come into the room on crutches
walked out of it unaided.

insects when the latterare plentiful

The latter fact is one of the difficult
ties in the way Of DEMONSTRATING
them.
On one occasion an experiment was
tried and 200 were placed in a wire
cloth cage, which they at once pro-
ceeded to cover on the inside with
their webs until no insects could get
in. With the food supply thus ex-
cluded, they began their cannibal-
istic practices and when the case
was opened only a few remained. and
they had grown to an enormous size.
The entomologists say the chief
problem involved in an attempt to

devising some way to keep her sup

internecine warfare. But the scien-
lists are hopeful that the spiders
may be stall-fed like distillery cattle
and may by kind treatment be rem

instance a whole piece of fabric, IS
yards long and IS inches wide, was
spun from these spiders webs, $4,000
spiders being employed in the labor.
This was exhibited in Paris.
The Madagascar spiders build webs
across shady walks in the gardens

the spider to have the thread extract

use them to break the thread.
The spiders were obtained by offer

a-c-b. But the attraction of the
mountain draws towards it the
plumb-lines, so that the difference
of the latitude of a and b is made
greater by the amount that the
angle of the dotted lines exceeds the
angle at the center of the earth.
The difference of latitude of a
and b can be found by surveying
around the mountain, the survey be-
ing extended so as to get the volume
of the mountainous mass a b, The
rock must be examined, the soil and
the actual weight calculated. Now
by n mathematical calculation the
earth is weighed in comparison with
the mountain, and the result in tons
Is had from the ratio OF the mass
of the mountain with that Of the
EARTH
This method was used a century
ago, and from 1t the specific gravity
of the earth was found to be Sc. that
is it would take a globe of water
Sc times as large as the earth to
weigh as much as the earth.
Another method is by the shape
of the orbit the planet or moon
presents with reference to the orbits
or paths of other planets. No orbit
has been found true circle. Other
planets exert an influence on the
planet in question, and the path is
bent further outward here and runs
inward there. Again bodies attract
each other in proportion to their
masses and inversely as the square
of their distances apart. Weighing
the world, or telling the specific
gravity and the weight of the sun
seems mythicay. but science has
weighed the suns and moons and
planets, and even gone further than
this, telling by the spectroscope the
minerals that exist in the sun, and
meteors that fly through the sky
millions of miles a day.
