Things Worth Knowing.

"Monkey wrench" is a misnomer.
1t should be spelled "Moncky," be-
cause it is named after Charles
Monck. the inventor of it. He sold
the patent for $4,000 many years ago.
Do not say "ADdress" with the ac-
cent on the first syllable. 1t is wrong.
Whether used as noun or verb, the
accent is always on the last syllable,
''adDREss. !"
According to the census of 1900,
farming furnished more employment
than any Other industry in the I'm
tied States. There were 1851 ,257
farmers and 4,459,346 agricultural
lahorers.
Camel coal is corruption of candle
coal. 1t is very hard and can be cut
into blocks and strips, and as it burns
with a clear, yellow flame, was often
used when first known as a substitute
for candles.
Light travels faster than sound.
You can see the fash Of a gun before
you bear the report. Light would go
four hundred and eighty times around
the earth while the sound was going
thirteen miles.

1t is pretty generally known that
the English get their correct time
from Greenwich, which has a world
wide reputation, but comparatively
few people know where we get ours
from. Americans get their correct
time from little room in the Naval
observatory, located on Georgetown
heights, in the suburbs of Washing
ton. The observatory is intended to
detect errors in ship chronometers
and to regulate them properly. This
work constitutes one department at
the institution, but perhaps its most
important function is that of being
the nations timekeeper.
The origin of the halo in pictures
has long been subject Of conjecture.
Medical science has been Investigating
it and offers the following solution:
When keeping the eyes fixed upon a
speaker, a preacher for instance, who
has his back towards white wall, if
the eyes are allowed to devidte slightly
the light from the white wall, coming
upon that part Of the retina which
had just previously been occupied by
the comparatively non-luminous head
| (no reflection on the preacher in
tended), is by comparison much
brighter than the light from the rest
Of the wall which impinges upon COM
paratively exhausted parts of the re.
tina. If the eyes are shifted from a
few moments gaze at the mouth to
the forehead, the result is halo. By
similar process we may see gilded
chandelier bordered with purpish
blue, its complementary color.

Brilliant Grand Opera.

The most brilliant society and mu-
steal event in the history of Northern
Minnesota and Wisconsin will be the
Grand Opera Season Of three per-
formances beginning March 9 at the
Lyceum Theater, when Mr.. Henry w.
Savage's celebrated English Grand
Opera company appears in Duluth.
Manager G.. A. Marshaii has just com
pleted all arrangements with Man
ager Savage for the first season Of
opera by his celebrated company
north of st. Paul. The railroads will
announce special excursion rates per-
hitting out OF town music lovers to
take advantage OF the rare opportun-
ity to hear the repretory of master
pieces sung in English. The COM
pany numbers over $50 people in its
vocal forces, is accompanied by SYM
phony orchestra OF nearly fifty must
clans under three conductors, and
carries trainload of costumes and
scenic productions for the different
operas.
The Duluth season will open with
an elaborate presentation OF Wag-
ner's "Lohengrin. the great music
drama that contains the worldfamed
wedding March," and other sonorous
melodies. Wagaer's 'Tannhauser"
with its immortal overtime, "Pil-
grims Chorus" and wealth of har-
monies, will be given complete on the
afternoon of Saturday March 10, the
Opera Season closing Saturday night
with Mr.. Savage's revival of Gounod g
melodious Faust" the most popular
of all French operas.
There will be subscription season
ticket sale beginning at once and per-
hitting music lovers both in Duluth
and outside cities to send in orders by
mail for all three performances and
have their seats selected before the
regular sale opens three days In ad-
vance Of the engagement. These
should be accompanied by remittance
may be payable to c. A. Marshall,
and if self-addressed and stamped en-
yelope be inclosed, seats will be re-
turned by next mail. No reduction is
made for season tickets, the object
being simply to permit opera patrons
to secure the same seats for each per-
Torrance In advance of the sale for
individual operas.
Manager Marshall will put a force
of men to work at once making neces-
sary alterations in the Lyceum The
alter so as TO accommodate the stupen-
dous productions required for grand
operas. An advance staff will arrive
to superintend the work and lay out
new orchestra pit for the fifty
musicians. At least three rows of
parquet chairs must be removed and
new rail constructed to separate the
orchestra from the audience.
The company travels on chartered
train Of twelve cars and will be fully
twice as large as any travelling organ
iZation that has ever visited Duluth.
Each opera has its own inyestiture
and seperate cast will be heard at
each performance.
Prices will not be advanced above
those charged in other Western cities
ranging from 81 to So for reserved
seats. Owing TO the large number of
out of town patrons that are already
engaging seats, orders should be sent
in without delay so that choice reser-
vations may be made by the manage
ment.
