AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF AeETTLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH or PLANTS.

Grow to Twice Actual Weight Of Those
Exposed to Sunlight Only - Latest
9 Victory For This New and Eeautiful
Illuminant.
THE experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the bean.
siful rays from the gas, acetylene. are
as effective as sunlight ON the growth
of plants, and this may soon become a
subject for serious consideration BY all
progressive c%ultlvators Of the soil.
v The results of tho experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase of
growth attained by Supplementary
'The Light Of Nature" with 'eThe Light
of Acetylene" during the Eours in
which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, q certain
number Of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night grow
to twice the actual weight Of the same
number Of radishes given daylight only,
all other conditions being equal, and
peas had blossomed and partially ma
twted pods with the help Of acetylene
light, while without the added light
not even buds were apparent.
{ Acetylene Is already taking it's place
as an illuminant for towns from a CEN
trail plant, for lighting houses. churches,
schools and isolated buildings Of all
kinds, and it is being used successfully
for many other purposes.
a striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small expense
with which 1t can be made available
compared with the great advantages
derived from its use. The machine In
which the. gas is generated is easily in.

The Very Rev. Dean Harris tells

sothern and Marlowe in Shakespeare

To Charles Frohman is due the thanks of
the American theater- going public for many
dramatic productions of an exceptionally
high degree of merit His latest enterprise
is the combination of L. II. Sothern and
Julia Marowe, with their exceptional sup
porting company and sumptuous produce
tons of Shakespeare's drama. Much Ado
About Nothing" Hamlet" and Romeo
and Juliet will be presented.
Mr.. Sothern, popular favorite here, is
still young man. though he has been long
before the public in various roles, from
light comedy to Hamlet" In every part
which he has essayed he has satisfactorily
acquitted himself and made it evident that
he is a master of his craft. His associate
star player Julia Marlowe, has not always
had the best mediums in the way of plays
and support where her exceptional abilities
could always shine, although in every case
her individual work has called forth I'M
usual cOmmendation.
The supporting company has been selected
with the utmost pains with reference to the
work to he done. All the appointments cos
tunes and scenery are strictly in accord
with the period of each play.

The Rebuilding of Manila.

FROM NOriuS WORK.
Plans have been perfected and the work
begun of rebuilding Manila and making 1t
the beautiful city of the orient. 1t will not
only be clean and healthful, with wide
streets and attractive PLACES, but will be a
capital of art as well. 1t is seldom that
such an opportunity has presented itself in
the orient to make model city, and the in
Sular government, with the active co-opera-
ton of the United States government, is
taking every advantage of it. For example,
for years open bitches throughout the city
have been used for sewerage purposes so
that the public health has been put in
jeopardy. These bitches will be made into
clean canals, spanned by numerous bridges.
Pleasure boats will ply on them A COM
plete sanitary sewerage system will replace
the present bitches.
But the most Interesting feature of the
reconstruction of the city is the preserva-
ton of the famous walled city, which was
erected three hundred years ago to repel
the Spanish and Dutch invaders. This
walled city has distinctly historical as
filling in 155 acres adjoining Mallaco will
give Manila an ideal pleasure ground for all
the people. This drive is a favorite resort,
and the view is said to be one of the most
beautiful in all the Philippine Islands. Band
stands will be erected for popular concerts.
Another important step is the construction
OF complete waterworks system, for which
there has been a bond issue of $4,000 900.
The water will be piped from the Mariquina
valley, hfteen miles away.

LECTURE ON BIRDS.
William Rogers Lord to Speak at An
nual Meeting of Audubon Society.

Arrangements have been about completed
for the eighth annual meeting of the Au-
dubon Society of the District of Columbia,
which is to be held in the lecture room
of the George Washington University, cor
ner of 18th and Fl streets, on Wednesday
January %, at SIS pm. The principal fea-
ture of the evening will be an Illustrated
lecture entitled THE Ministry of Birds,
by Rev. VIM Rogers Lord of Boston Mr.
Lord has delivered this lecture at various
points from Massachusetts to Washington.
but has never yet been heard in this CITY
He is an active worker in the cause OF bird
protection. Besides organizing one or two
Audubon societies the Pacific coast he
has addressed many thousands of people
and is the author of a popular book on the
birds of Oregon and Washington.
The lecture will be free to the public of
Washington no admission being charged
and no collection taken, as the object is to
interest as many as possible in the native
birds, with view to the spread of the
protective movement. Among the many in
teresting and attractive pictures with which
Mr.. Lord illustrates his lecture, are some
showing the extent to which, when prop
erly treated, birds can acquire confidence
in man. These show the little children of
Prof. Hodge of Clark University, with rob-
ms, bluebirds and other birds that nest
about his home perched on their hands.
shoulders and heads with entire absence of
fear. Such scenes are a revelation to most
people. who are unaware of the readiness
with which free, uncaged birds respond to
friendly treatment. The idea should not,
however, be entirely strange to those who
are familiar with the accounts of Ernest
Thompson Seton of the tamenesS of the
bears and other animals of the Yellowstone
National Park.
The aim of Audubon societies is the crea-
ton cultivation of sentiment which
shall remove all desire to destroy harmless
birds and thus establish perfectly amicable
relation between them and man throughout
the length and breadth of the land
The lectures of Mr.. Lord and Mr.. Seton
show how easily such a condition may be
brought about if all hostility on mans
part be suspended The greater, therefore,
the number that accept the invitation to
next Wednesdays lecture the better pleased
the society will be.
