Conan its author, has writ ten several musical pieces of late which has established him as a past master in this line of work. The lines of the play are crisp and bright. while the music has attained great popular. ity. Running for Office in plot anc story is unlike that of any of MT Cohans other work. It will be pre- scented in this city under the manage ment of Samuel H. Harris by cast of unusual excellence. including Bobby Harrington. who last year made such a fiattering success in MT Cohan's original role. surrounded by the fol lowing well known metropolitan Ia vOrites: William F.

But from their entrance into the land, the French treated Lorraine as con quered country. The three bishoprics of Toul. Verdun and Metz (Les Trois Eveches) were annexed to France in 1852

 France became very heady. and even made demands that the imperial crown be given young Louis XIV. and when the German electors put Leopold on the throne. throughout his long reign he was harassed by the usurpations of the French, sovereign. The League of Augsburg was formed against France: then followed the war of the league. when the French army invaded the Rhine Palitinate.
 In 1881 the French took Strasburg. which important city had long held out against them, and in 1897 they were confirmed in their possession by the treaty of Ryswick. But by this treaty France was called upon to cede to Germany certain border towns, and certain estates to the house of Lor- raine.
 In the Second Grand Alliance. the Germans were again arrayed against the French. The war resulted in great misery for the French nation.

The whole world shrinks from another war, hopes pres ent threatenings may stop ere fateful declaration is made; but the world knows the kalser has announced he is not satisfied with the policing of the Morocco Algerian frontier; this, and lesser but still serious questions, ac- counted matters that must soon have definite settlement.
 Of late years, France, once. given to mad militarisrn,' has been devoted to peace and industry, sedulously kept out of strife and strife stirring. That this state of affairs has, not been pleasing to the kaiser is well expressed in an article in the Contemporary Review: "William II. was angry at the moral success of the wise, moderate and con- ciliatory diplomacy which the republic had made her own for some years back. He looked with disfavor on ev- erything which tended to draw France out of the isolationto which it was the stroke of genius of Prince sBispAalek tD place her."
 The Bismarckian policy--let us re- view it. For 30 years it ruled Europe, 1t placed the diplomatic center of the world at Berlin. Bismarck created a united Germany and desired dis united continent" Hungary was iso- lated; then France attacked. and at- tempt made to isolate Russia and Eng land. But Russia and France joined hands. England kept warily out of en- tanglements. However, let us aspire to no discussion of the Bismarckian policy; let us glance back at the rela- tions of the two countries. France and Germany.
 In the ancient days there was pow erful confederation of German tribes, known as the Franks; in ancient days the Franks invaded Gaul. and it is back to these German invaders the Gallic people, much as they dislike to do. must trace the name of their coun- try, France To balance this, however. the Gauls have the credit of naming their eastern neighbor ''germani." Charlemagne was really German and Church tells us it was mistake to look upon his as predecessor of the

REGENERATION OF RUBBER
Process by Which Residence and Body Are Restored to Old
 Material.

A European process for regeneratine old rubber has for it's principle the sep aration of the caoutchouc proper con tained in vuicanized rubber from the mineral and other matters which have been incorporated into it, such as sul- phur, etc. The first operation. says the Scientific American, consists in dissolving the vulcanized rubber in one of the usual solvents, using pe- troleum preferably either alone or with benzine added to it. After treat ing for a certain time the insoluble matter is separated by Altering under pressure. or by centrifugal machine. The solution when separated from the insoluble matter is evaporated to the consistence of syrup under reduced
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-01-26

pressure and is then taken up by ace- tone. The liquid which is thus ob- tained is first boiled and then decant- ed off and the rubber is again taken up by an alcoholic soda solution. Af- ter boiling and pouring of second time, tho rubber is treated with boil ing alcohol After the alcohol is taken off, the rubber is washed with water and then dried by superheated steam. which removes the last trace of alcohol and water it may contain.
