Choral Society Night.

Tomorrow night is Choral Society Night"

tends the performance of the Guy Standing
Stock Company on that night will have not
only the pleasure of attending one Of the
excellent theatrical performances offered
by this favorite theater, but VIII at the
same time be contributing to Washington's
principal choral organization. The per-
Torrance of great oratorios requires money.
1t Is an expensive luxury for city to be
able to hear these works under favorable
conditions. for It is a weil-known fact that
the cost cannot ordinarily be betrayed by the
gate receipts. All such societies have to be
supported by guarantee funds and by con-

The Choral Society Is planning to give
three performances next season. It is wise
ly planning to get together the funds for
Its work as a preliminary step. The Choral
Society is nearly quarter of a century old,
and is one of the most respected of the

First Algaroba Tree in Hawaii.

Honolulu Cor. Ban Francisco Chronicle.
The original algaroba tree. brought to
Hawaii by Father Bachelot from Australia
in 1887. and the progenitor Of the vast for
ests of algaroba. seems now doomed to de-
struction In order to make way for a new
Office building. The tree which Ia Of large
size, stands at one corner Of the grounds
of the Roman Catholic mission on Fort
street. 1t has long been one of the sights
pointed out to tourists and visitors. A new
building is to be erected on the adjoining
ground. But the tree bends in It's upward
growth SO as to bring the greater part OF
1t over the lot to be occupied by the new
building. SO that 1t is feared that destruc-
ton Is Inevitable.
The aIgaroba tree, next to sugar cane, is
accounted the most valuable vegetable
growth brought to these islands. It grows
In the most arid and rocky soils. Its shade
Is extremely grateful. It furnishes the prfn-
cipal source of fuel for domestic purposes
in the islands. Its flowers are the principal
source of the honey product of the islands,
and the bean which it produces In great
abundance is one OF the most sought for
foods for cattle and other stock

Ants as Honey Makers.


The ant honey has an aromatic flavor
suggestive of bee honey. and is agreeable to
the taste. An analysis made by compe-
tent chemist of the product of the Mexican
species showed a nearly purer solution of
sugar of fruits. differing from grape-sugar
in not crystallizing. The Mexicans and
Indians have, or had at the period OF these
studies. several uses for the ant honey
They eat 1t freely. The late. Prof. Cope,
when in New Mexico. had a plate of
refunds offered him as dainty relish DR.
Loew reported that the Mexicans press the
insects and use the honey at their meals.
They were also said to prepare from 1t by
fermentation an alcoholic drink. Another
naturalist learned that the natives apply 1t
to bruised and swollen limbs. 1t has been
suggested seriously that these ants might
by culture attain the rank of bees as honey
producers. The difficulty of farming the
colonies and the limited quantity of the
product would prevent profitable industry.
The average amount Of honey In single
rotund was by weight about forty (O.3952)
grams. little over eight times (S.2) that
of the ants body. But counting the num-
Der of refunds in a nest at six hundred
the utmost that observation would justify
the entire product would be only two-thirds
of pound troy, collected at the cost of all
the honey-bearers' lives. Such results dis
bar these insects from the field of human
industry.

The Inofensive African Lion.
From Harper's.


Lions are increasing I'm number through
out the district. and. l believe, in all An
COLA, though they are still not so common
as leopards. Certainly they watch the
road for dinner, and all the way from
Benquela to Bihe you have good chance
of hearing them purring about your wagon

certain satisfaction in rejecting that
you are inside the wagon and that twenty

tied with their yokes. An OK is better
meal than man, but to me as well as 20
oxen the lions are becoming more danger
GUS as the wilder game grows scarcer. A
native, from the wagon which crossed the
Cuando just after mine, was going down
for water in the evening, when a lion
sprang on him and split the petroleum
can with his claw. The boy had the sense
to beat his cup hard against the tin. and
the monarch OF the forest was SO dis
gusted at the noise that he withdrew: but
few boys are so quick, and many are
killed. especially in the mountain zone
about one hundred miles from the coast.

An interesting practical joke was played
upon the party early last week by Manager
Luckett, Treasurer Ned" Stein and sew
eral members OF the company who had re-
manned In the city. They obtained auto
mobiles and FASTENED out to the point on
the Maryland side OF the river known as
F1etcher's where IL had been the habit OF
the canoeists TO tie their boats while dining
over at an establishment on the Conduit
road. The auto party reached Fletcher's
after the boats had been tied and after the
canoeisss had gone to dinner. The tempta-
ton to hide the boats in the neighboring
shrubbery was too strong to be avoided.
This was done. and the autoists waited
patiently for the canoeists to return.
Finally their vigilance was awarded by
sight OF the boating party walking down
the towpath OF the canal. When they ar
rived at Fletchers they missed their boats.
and the impromptu auto party appeared to
know nothing about the whereabouts of the
craft. 1t was. however. suggested finally
that the canoes might have been hidden by
some had boys" This led TO a long
search after which the boats were found
and the canoeists were enabled to enjoy
pleasant journey down stream to Cumber-
lands boat house. The next day the
secret of the missing boats was revealed.
but the members OF the company who had
been testingly victimzed were too good
natured not to receive the prank In the
spirit in which 1t was committed.

Japanese Mothers and Daughters

1t seems unfortunate that the hundreds OF
charming girls who are asstmilating the
best in western education. while the salu-
tary exercises of the gymnasium and the
playground are turning them into tall,

not have been able to retain the charm and

steal advantages of modern training have

girls in Japan; but the manners have
changed, too, and 1t is only among the old

There Is scarcely a thing that has not
been dramatlzed from the dictionary to
the Passion play. and many matters have
been turned to the advantage of the play
house. but It remained for Mr.. Guy Stand
ing to turn his love of open-air pastime and
boating to the advantage of the members
OF his stock company at the Columbia
Theater in connection with their re-
hearsais. Mr.. Standlng-though 1t is not
generally known-is an expert oarsman and
has won many cups and trophies for his
ability in that direction. He Is an en-
thusiastic yachtsman, and this has brought
him even more trophies.
But the manner In which bis love for
boating has been turned to the advantage
OF his supporting company is the result of
mere accident rather than OF forethought.
When Mr.. Standing came here In the latter
part OF April he learned of the splendid OPP
portunities for canoeing on the Potomac
river just above Georgetown. 1t was not
long before he had boat of his own there.
and IL was observed by members of his
company that Mr.. Standing hurried Off
every afternoon. except on Thursdays and
Saturdays. after rehearsals, to participate
in his favorite sport of boating.
One by one members Of the company ex-
pressed a desire to join him these ex-
cursions. and il was not many days before
more than half of the members of the stock
company were enjoying the sport them
selves. Parties were formed every after
noon after rehearsal. including. besides Mr..
Standing, Miss Dorothy Hammond. the
leading lady; Hall McAllister, Malcolm Dun
can, George CASTOR and Gilbert Miller the
young son of Henry Miller.
The members of the company became so
fond OF the sport that they wanted to ac-
company Mr. Standing up the river every
afternoon They could not well do this
without neglecting the reading of the parts
assigned to them for each recurring new
weekly production. Some one then hit
upon the happy suggestion OF combining
work with pleasure by reading the parts
of the different characters while boating.
The experiment was tried and proved to be
q delightful one. A fine shady nook was
found beyond the stone quarries on the
Virginia side of the river, and there every
afternoon the players would assemble after
an outing in canoes on the river.
When Jack Mason came to the city the
idea of rehearsing along the river. or en-
canoe appealed to him capital idea,
and he Immediately sought admission into
the charmed circle of canoeists.
