The cause Of the heart beat is the
most interesting study to which man

now learn that radium is at the bot

The general public are so little ac-

Ambassador Reid twenty years ago

articles about rare surgical operations,

Another Field for Philanthropy.


There are so many things suggested
for the multimillionaires to do that it
is not strange they halt and hesitate.
But nowhere among all the objects in
the, vast range of American giving,
from marble medical colleges to Or
chestral music, is the great cause OF
the American theater to be found. 1t
must be pretty low down to have
earned so singular an isolation. In all
the giving has anybody been known
to set aside anything for raising the
common level Of American cultivation
through the drama? And is not this
specially puzzling, considering how
immensely fond of the theater the
American people are and how much
money they spend in going to the
play? Perhaps Mr.. Carnegie would
say that people must learn to read
before they can get the highest good
out of the drama, which embraces lit
erature and the fine arts; while, of
course, so moral millionaire as Mr.
Rockefeller, who has probably never
entered theater, would not wish to
promote or even countenance anything
so manifestly tending to immortality

Learned Human Nature in "Tombs" ."
