New Marvelsh of Physic

Under the title, New Marvels In Physics" in the Technical World Mag azine for November Ben Winslow tells of some of the wonderful discoveries made by students in their first yea. of Physics. What the student knows correctly after his first quarter in the study of Physics, would make very dry reading; but what he knows incorrect- ly is extremely interesting. Probably not more than one student out of twenty when he passes into the pre- liminary study of physics. escapes the danger of too little knowledge He gains but smattering of the subject; i; learns few primary principles that are new and strange to him: and straightway falls into the belief that his knowledge is equal to every occa- sion. Mir Winslow then gives some instances of the ludicrous theories that these students give utterance to, in their answers to questions about sim pie physical phenomena. The whole story gives very clear idea of the confused tumble of half-understood mo- tions that the student of physics gets into his head during the first quarters grok in the science.

At the Gayety.

Weber and Rush presented company at the New Gayety theatre last week that was considered the best that has been to the Gayety this year The attraction this week is another of those belonging to Weber and Rush, and, judging what is to be by what has been, 1t should be a good company.
 The company last week served to pack the Gayety every evening and to draw large crowds every afternoon at the mat inees. The features of the bill were the vaudeville acts and they proved the most popular part of the programme.
 This week 1t s claimed that Weber an6 Rush have an olio of vaudeville acts that is in every way equal to the olio last week. While there may not be any cne act equal in sensational features to Mile Selbini, there are six acts on the bill which it is claimed are as good as any to be found on the vaudeville stage, talk ing them as a whole.
 The headline act is "The Six Darlngs, or The Monte Carlo Girls" This act was imported to this country, and 1t is said to contain six clever dancing girls, all of whom are pretty and possessors of shape ly figures. These girls. 1t is claimed, have an act that differs widely from the usual dancing act.
 There are three acts dealing with three of the principal character comedy lines on the stage. One of these is team of Dutch comedians, another a team of He brew comedians and parodists, and the third is an Irish sketch
 The Hebrew comedians are Browning and Bentley, and it Is claimed that they have a new line of stories to tell. some new songs and some excellent parodies on a number of the popular songs of the day. Trainor and Dale have an Irish sketch which the management says is a very clever thing, and Pierson and Opp are the Dutch comedians with the com pany. This battery of comedians should be able to make things lively through out the entire performance, and especial ly during their acts in the olio.
 Miss Frances Clair, said to be an unu- sually handsome woman, also appears in the olio. She is possessed of a contralto voice which Is said to be rich and full. The other act on the bill is that of the Young brothers, comedy acrobats.
 The performance opens with a burletta entitled "The Pusse Cafe" and concludes with one called "The Girl From Mars. ' Both burlettas permit of great deal of pretty scenery, pretty costumes for the chorus girls and the leading people, and some clever work on the part of the CO., medians.
 inee Monday afternoon, and there is a matinee and night performance every day during the week. A special price of 15 cents for the best seats is made for all women and children at the matinees.

AMUSE MENTS.

confirmation of the policy to render all attractions at the Majestic unaike, there by preserving the element of variety and novelty, the strong point in the operation If their houses by the Interstate Amuse- ment Company. In this array of talent. the sketch takes a subordinate place, and the novelty is furnished by a celebrity who has baffled the police and lay citi- zens of every city in which he has ever appeared The impression of the new which this performance will leave, is fur ther carried out on the same bill by the first appearance In the south of the mu sical novelty. "Bmm- -Bomm- Brrr" Some barrel jumping adds to the balance of bill, also including two of the finest danc- CTS on the stage and singer.
 Cunning Is the strange man whom no bars bolts. locks nor handcuffs can keep incarcerated beyond the few minutes nee essary for him to exercise his powers Wherever he has appeared in this country he has always aroused the greatest inter est and excitement Police officials of the largest cities in the United States have devised the most intricate traps to keep Cunning in captivity but to no pur- pose. He has been handcuffed inside of a steel cage. handcuffed to the bars of this prison in every conceivable form, but at the end of few minutes has escaped his bonds.
 IL is claimed that no instrumental mu- sical act that has eyer been offered to the public has compared with this seasons sensation. .Bimm- Bomm- Brrr,' a Europe an importation, which proves to Ameri- can audiences that this country has not invented the best amusement novelties on the market. Not only are the three broth CTS who compose this act real musicians of the better schools abroad. but they have succeeded in presenting something out of the ordinary.
 Pero and Wilson offer high-class agil- ity performance. It is presented with the establishment of fine dressing, which lends color and completeness to the barrel jumping and vaulting done by this man and woman. The act also contains some very clever Japanese manipulatons
 Harry Antrim and Yetta Peters display their talents in several lines of specialties. including whistlng, singing and trick bone playing. Their performance finds an out let through a mmetic comedietta entitled ''Tarry at Tank own"
 Lester and Quinn are among the best singing and dancing teams in vaudeville They may have been preceded by some very clever dancers. but those persons who like this style of entertainment will find something new in the work of these artists Miss Brooks is known far and wide as "The Girl With the Smile" She is a singer of catchy songs. The roller skating eranks of the city should find a lot to interest them in Davis and Davis, who dance on roller skates.

These are covered when they enter the arena by long stylish cloaks, which are thrown aside when they enter the ring. Although an innovation to them, the skirts prove no obstacle to their freedom of movement, and add much to the beauty of their posturing and pyramid work.
 Among the riders who mastered the long skirt problem is Miss Ella Bradna, a Swiss girl of striking figure and exceptional abil- ity. On the continent, as well as in Eng land, Miss Bradna has always appeared in tights. This year she is displaying re- markedly stylish wardrobe, in which long skirts are pronounced feature. In her principal riding act Miss Bradna wears a handsome Worth gown that barely , touches the horses back In this costume she performs as freely as though she were still wearing the tights and tarletan of the old days The skirts do not in the least interfere with her repeated feat of jumping from the ground to the back of her swft-moving horse.
 La Belle Carmen, who introduces some clever feats on a high wire, dresses in long gowns at times, and very stylish and becoming they are Madame Florenz, of the Florenz troupe of Italian acrobats, invariably wears an evening costume with the train eliminated. She has a different costume, moreover, for every day In the week. and they are all elegant and strict ly up-to-date in style and material.
 Margaret NOn Stuttenneimef, who does some clever high-school driving, has some stunning gowns. One of the most strik. ing is made of silver blue chiffon, over silk, and this is crowned with blue chif- ion picture hat.
 Rosa Huettermann has several trunks full of imported gowns. which are worn when weather and conditions permit. Among the attaches of the big circus she is called the Little Bohemian fashion plate" And she deserves the name. Noth- Ing daintier than her gowns, 1t Is said, have ever been seen in circus ring They were all created for the present American tour of the big show.
 Fashion in the circus today Is not alto gether the result of public demand The feminine spirit of emulation in dress, such as appear in the neighborhood or social set is a strong motif toward making the female performers dress in the height of fashion whenever 1t is possible to do so ini the arena. While it Is demanded of them by the management that they dress to a certain standard the numbers of gowns a circus woman wears and the elaboration Cf the trimming on them de- bends largely on the spirit of rivalry.
 The public-or a large part of it-wel- comed the change from tights to skirts It remained for the woman of the circus to complete the evolution by making their gowns reflex of the latest things in twentieth century fashion.

Little Brown Men"
q the Londo Il. spectator.

From the Londo n Spectator
 We hold it most unjust to hate our dark subjects because of their occasional ex- plosions of discontent They purchase our services, the greatness of which we fully admit at very heavy price. In the first place, they lose independence, which all of them value and many of them, if Ma hometans think belongs to them by a direct revelation of God. It is idle to talk about "fanaticism." There can be no doubt that Mahomet meant his converts to rule those who rejected his mission. and in asserting by force that they will rule all outside their own creed they are but obeying one of the first precepts of their religion. As matter of fact, Chris tians have precisely the same idea, though it is not formulated in the same way; and as a consequence no organized Christian people anywhere in the world consents peaceably to be governed by non Christian rulers.
 In the second place. the dark peoples lose the disposal of the national fortune. and the upper class, who would share in that fortune if the White man were away, cannot be expected to approve a manage ment which debars them from it's control and enjoyment. Again, we are compelled to put an end to the exercise Of power in the forms which .the dark races ap- preciate, and i'll most cases to terminate all careers except money making and the practice of the law As has been said ire qucntly before, we triple the security, but destroy the interestingness of the dark mans life. Often he reasons. being usual ly man with an ina gination that he has lost more than he has gained and rises in instruction: but this is no Justification fnr thA hat txrhf oh in aHdo at s,lI events, we are occasionally too ready to eXpresS. f

T BENCH fashions have invaded the
 circus, and an interesting feature of the up-to-date show, especially to the women, is the Parisian style of dress that prevails In every act where such cos tuning is possible. Even the dressing of the hair is done in the latest fashion and with great care. Bows, aigrettes and or namental combs are as much a part of the circus riders toilette as of a society woman's.
 Real creations are many of the gowns, and the materials of which they are made are the same as those of which the most exquisite evening gowns are fashioned. There is no sham about this circus ele- gance. Every costume worn is made of, the best material suitable for the purpose, and many of them have been designed and made by modistes of international reputa- ton.
 During the past dozen years there has been a most pronounced change in circus costumes. Up to a comparatively recent period the short ballet skirt buoyed up by yards and yards of tarletan and lit tie bodice, were supposed to be the one possible costume for the circus performer.
 
 prevailing modes. Today the long trailing silk or chiffon dress fs to be seen often as a short-sllirted costume. It is elabo- rately correct in every detail. Except in aerial acts where freedom from skirts Is imperative, tights and illusions have been well-nlgh. eliminated. How the art lsts can perform so cleverly in these long gowns has not yet ceased to be a mystery to the public. This change in circus cos tuning has been so gradual that it has scarcely been perceptible to the average show-goer. That it has come to stay, however is generally believed by those most interested in it. In contrast to much in the modern big circus, it is an Amer- can idea. In the European circuses the tights and gauge skirts of the lady rid ers'' still hold sway. The American wo- men who performed in long skirts during the European tour of the Barnum x Bai- ley circus created a mild sensation. Noth- ing like 1t had ever before been seen on the continent
 It was an American family of acrobats whose female members first appeared in long skirts. Prior to that time such d thing a woman throwing a somersault in d gown was considered impossible. Women, in fact, had just begun to demonstrate that they could rival the men as gym nasts. For years the mere turning of a handspring by woman was considered d remarkable feat. When at last a clever girl of Germany, daughter of the fa nous old snowman, RentZ, turned a real somersault, and actually did 1t on the back of horse, the circus world was as- tonished. When a little later troupe of American acrobats presented two young women who executed single somersaults pn the ground and double ones from shoul- der to shoulder. and performed their novel act in long skirts. it was thought the lim- it of accomplishment had been over reached. Strange to say, 1t was not so much the cleverness of these girls that excited the circus world; it was the fact that they did their work in skirts instead of the conventional tights. These girls soon had imitators. The following season

seen in the quarter stretch on Derby Day and intently watched through pair of field glasses at a respectful distance and with more or less conflicting emotions but the horse in it's intimate relationship as the companion and willing servant of
 man. Blanche Bates owns a horse farm, and Warfield caught the inspiration from his fellow artist.
 He resolved to be able to discuss horse with Miss Bates from the same intimate knowledge of it's qualities as she possess ed. He recently purchased a stylish hack ney cob at horse show. The price was not inconsiderable, but the animal had the appearance of a valuable asset. Now, generally. these experiences end in some form of disappointment on the part of the enthusiastic purchaser but herein the story differs from the usual run of sto-
 ries The actor had hardly acquired his title to the horse and begun to enjoy its graceful motions and spirited paces when he received an offer through an agent to sell the horse for $75O more than he paid for it. One of the Vanderbilts had taken a fancy to the animal, and had decided to buy it when Warfeld came along and
 snapped 1t up almost right under his nose. Warfield politely declined the offer, and now the Music Master and the Girl of the Golden West may occasionally be seen to-
 gether in subdued but animated conyersa- tion whose topic is morally certain to be
 horses, their ways and manners.
 The host of friends of little Frank De- shon will extend to him their earnest sympathy in his sad bereavement, his sis- ter and brother having been killed in the Boston and Maine accident at Troy, N Y., on Friday last. Mr. Deshon was rehears-
 ing the Mary Emerson company when mo-
 tifed of the catastrophe.
