London.-The latest war craft to 60

In the British navy but In any navy.
One OF the features OF the new floating
monster is the symmetrical ''cleanness'
OF her sheer lines. with graceful
sweep the stem springs out to ram OF
80 tons In weight. while the transom and
counter curve away from the stern walk
in pleasing contour.
The superstructure is kept down to
the smallest possible limits. Electric
fans do the work OF the tall cows that
crowd the boat deck Of most warships;
the steel masts look the trimmer for the
absence of the familiar ponderous mill

HUNTING ATTRACTS THEM.
Teachers in Territory Find It Hard
TO Keep the Indian Chill
dren In School.

Muskogee, l. T.-The Indian youth
chafes under the restraints OF school
life, and chooses rather to learn OF ma
ture In the solitude of the forest or
along the streams. Recognizing this
tendency. the Indian nations incorpor-
ated in their educational systems pro-
visions which we're equivalent to pay
ing the parents for sending their chill
dren TO school.
Since the United States government
has taken charge of a large number Of
the schools in the rural districts Of In
dian territory, Superintendent Benedict
has found II one of his most dificult
tasks to keep UP the attendance OF In
dian children under the system of the
white man, which provides only the
school and books and trusts 70 the par
ents to appreciate the privilege of CIV
ing their children an education.
The falling of of attendance among
Indian children Is especially heavy at
this season, when such excellent op-
portunities offer for hunting deer, wild
turkey and other game In the woods
and on the prairles. superintendent
Benedict has sent out cards TO teach
ers asking for statements Of attend
ance IN January IN advance Of the usu-
al quarterly report. He has received
number Of these reports, and all
show a decided falling OF in attend
ance of Indian children. A number OF
causes for this condition. besides the
antlpsthy OF the average Indian for
confinement within the four walls Of a
school house, are given, among them
bad health, scanty clothing and sick
ness.

HISTORY OF MASONRY IN UTAH, FROM ITS
BEGINNING IN LOG LODGE ROOM

Nearly fifty years ago-in 1859, to be ac-
curate-Masonry was born in Utah It's
birthplace was Camp Floyd, and its home
was little log cabin. In this respect
it is like other great institutions and
men whose beginning was humble and
whose history commenced within the four
bare walls of log cabin.
Johnston's army was stationed at Camp
FLOYD, Utah. In 1859, and a few Officers
and soldiers of that army were Mascns
They were miles from their homes and
from their lodge rooms, and to Mason
his lodge room is held next to his home
When the shades oil evening had fallen
over the camp and the soldiers sat in
rings around the blazing camp fires, those
who were Masons dreamed wide-awake
dreams Of home and the lodge rooms left
behind. They longed to be in their
homes. This they knew could be moth
ing more than a longing. They thought
OF the lodge rooms This-why couldn't
they organize themselves into a lodge?
The matter was discussed. Discussion
led to planning, and this planning mate
rialiZed.

A general kitchen with gas range and

The basement also contains the boiler
room and ventilating plant The build

and indirect radiation and the tempera-
ture Of the different rooms is controlled
automatically by the Johnson system of
temperature regulation. Ample ventila-
ton is provided by means OF large
fan, ITO inches in diarqeter. This is
driven by a 10-horse power electric
motor, which will create 26,1O0 cubic
feet Of air per minute. Another cleo
trio fan in the attic exhausts the air
from the toilet rooms and other por-
lions of the building.

terest and surprise the visitor, however,
and probably the stage and robing
rooms will be the center to those with
an Unborn love for the footlights and
green room.
There are no footlights along the
front of this stage, but they are the
only things missing. The proscenium
opening of the stage is is feet high and
% feet wide. The stage is 80 feet deep
i. e. from the curtain line to the back
wall. 1t is 80 feet wide and high enough
to take any scenery on the American
stage today. This stage with all its
equipment and parapharnalia will be
used for Scottish Degree work. To
lend impressiveness and dignity and
reality to the scenes enacted in the
conference Of the different degrees,
ninety-three separate pieces of scenery
have been placed in position.
Robes Cost $4,000.
In the robing room at the west end
and slightly above the stage are SO, OOO
worth of robes worn during degree
work. alone. A room is filled with the
props needed to add to the setting
of the various scenes.
No expense was spared in equipping
this stage, and as a result it is the
finest and most completely equipped
all that is strictly up-to-date and rev
10 the theatrical world. 1t is absolutely
impossible for fire of any consequence
to occur on it. Several days ago Bestor
CT. Brown, under whose direction this
part Of the building was equipped,
proved to those present that it is next
TO impossible TO start even a blaze on
the stage when it is set with all
the props" The scenery and every
-, in 10
stage is painted with pigments, having
a mineral basis and applied with water.
Pieces of scenery cut from the drops
were used in an experiment with a
plumbers torch. When the blue flame
with an intense heat was directed
squarely against the mineral coated
cotton it charred, but would not blaze.
The naked or implanted edges of the
drops would blaze but when the flame
reached the paint they would go out
completely. The bottom battens are
painted with the same water-mineral
paint as is all cotton used in props"
Best In America.
Discussing this phase of the stage
equipment, Mr.. Brown, representing
large manufacturers of uniforms and
secret society goods, and for fifteen
years a travelling superintendent of
stage Du1lOlllS anu
I'm this respect as well, as many others,
the stage in the Salt Lake Masonic tenn
pie is the best in America. 1t is alb
solutely fireproof, as these tests show.
1t is provided with extra precautions,
not really needed but installed to COM
ply with your city ordinances. A ven
tilator, opening at the top of the stage
provides an outlet for all heat. There
is a popular belief that stage fixtures
and props blaze easily and the flames
spread rapidly. This is not true in a
stage like this. However. should some
thing catch fire on this stage the VEN
tilator on top could be opened by cut
ting a rope. at the side door and an
"up-draft" would result keeping the
blaze on the stage
Firemen will tell you what treach-
erous thing a back-draft is. When a
stage is on fire the heat naturally must
have somewhere to go. Where does IL
go? Access to the front of the stage.

into the auditorium, where it has the
greatest number of cubic feet Of air
space, and so it puffs out across the
footlights. A ventilator, such as In
stalled here, would prevent that and
keep the heat moving upward instead Of
outward.
Lesson From lroquoIs Fire.
The Iroquois holocaust was caused by
the failure of the ventilator TO work at
the right moment. The production
then playing at the Iroouois demanded
much highly inflammable property on
the stage and this burned quickly.
When this mass of stuff blazed up the
heat rushed out in the pit and smoth-
cred many persons. The flames did not
kill many. People were found dead
sitting in seats on which the plush had
not been singed. The stampede killed
scores.
Coming back to your stage here, a
blaze is impossible. The scenery, prop
erty and everything used on this stage
is substantial and fire-proof, as you
have seen. When plumbers torch can
do nothing more than char the scenery
what can do more? The whole floor of
this stage burning would be no hotter
than the torch flame was. There will
never be a fire here. A dozen men
could work a day and a half in an
effort TO start a fire on this stage and
succeed in doing nothing more than
spelling the scenery.
There are other features here, which
have cost money, but are not TO be
seen on the largest and most costly
stages in America. Outside Of being
fireproof, which is probably the chief
charm of this scenery, it is the work
of Americas best scenic artists. among
whom might be mentioned Ancell Cook
and Manseu Minor.
Other Modern Features.
1.-The stage embraces mechanical and
electrical systems which excel those in
the largest theatres between New York
and San Francisco. The switchboard
installed here contains all modern ap-
planes capable OF producing light
gradations- A DINNER plant installed
here can produce moonlight, daylight
and sunset effects which are seen only
in the scenic theatres at Atlantic City
travelling organizations, no matter how
expensive their equipment and proper
ties cannot carry DINNER plant any
where near the perfection of this ma
chine.
The switchboard was made by the
cnie1 electrician of the McVicker's the
atre in Chicago. This is an elaborate
affair, 6 feet high and feet long. con-
structed of polished brown marble. This
controls lights on the stage representing
total of 1000 candle power and on if
is grouped seventy-eight switches
which regulate the color effects. The
switchboard works with the bank of
DINNERS weighing 5000 pounds. which
controls the intensity of the lights.
1.-The robing room, with two decks.
and containing over thirty lockers
filled with $4,000 worth of robes ami
fitted with mirrors, washstGnds and all
necessary appliances, is a model The
counter-weighted scenery is still an
other feature. Weights are attached to
the controlling ropes CT each set One
man can take away and set any scene
