This one will be called the Evergreen
Ball, and is the fifth of the series given
by them. This club has already won a
well-deserved reputation as entertain

Few people realize the amount o
work that the control of circuit
means in the booking of attractions
alone. Mr.. Walker has to consider
the railroading for every company and
sometimes has correspondence relat-

again he has to have offices or agents
in New York and Chicago so that he
may get in touch with productions
that are changing their route or for
some reason have open time that
might be filled to advantage on his
circuit.

Local theatricals have had Won
derful change during the last few
years and now owing to the keen bus
mess and great enterprise of c. P.
Walker who controls the Red River
Valley circuit are to have some of the
best productions that visit the twin
cities. A few years ago the big city
productions were few and far between
but recently they have been following
one another with a beautiful regular
ity. Of course the past month has
been an exception but with the COM
pletion of the big Walker Theater in
Winnipeg the business will once
more be placed on the plane of per-
lection that marked the opening of
the present season.
The present theatrical year opened
most auspiciously, with the thermom-
eter standing at 80 on the opening day
of the sale and at SO on the day of the
performance, choice seats were at
premium in very short time. Then
followed "Parsifal in English" which
proved a triumph of elocution but a.
was to be expected lacking in action.

the University Settlement of Chicago,
to advocate the passage of the bill.
1t is only about fifty years since wo-
men made their appearance in the in
dustrial world hence the necessity for
legislation in their behalf. In this
bill congress is asked to authorize
the secretary of commerce and labor
to investigate and report upon the in
dustrial, social, moral, educational and
physical condition of women and child
workers in the United States. Such
an investigation is needed in order to
obtain proper legislation in regard to
women's work. There are hundreds
of thousands of helpless, unframed,
unorganized women without power of
legislating for themselves who are
forced to work for their daily bread
and it is of vital Importance that the
conditions under which they work
should not be detrimental to their
moral or physical well-being.

THE CINNAMON TREE.
Tow the Bark Is Gathered and Pre-
pared For Use.

Tow the Bark Is Gathered and Pre-
( pared For Use.
The cinnamon tree grows to height
Of from twenty to thirty feet and Is
sometimes eighteen inches in thickness.
The leaves are from four to six inches
In length, oval shaped and marked
with three principal nerves. They taste
very much like cloves. Cinnamon flow
ers are Of q beautiful silky gray on the
outside and q light yellow on the in
side. The fruit is small acorn shaped
drupe, and when ripe it is quite brown.
1t Is. however, the bark Of the CHINA
mon tree that makes 1t valuable. The
finest comes from the island Of Ceylon,
where they have two seasons Of CHINA
mon harvest The first season begins
In April and the last in November. The
branches Of three to five years growth
are cut down, and the epidermis is
carefully scraped away. Then the
bark is ripped up lengthwise with a
knife and gradually ioosened until it
may be easily removed.
The slices Of bark are then placed In
the sun to dry, and as they dry they
curl up into quilts. The next thing is
to examine and arrange the cinnamon
according to its quality. The persons
whose work 1t is to examine the CHINA
mon are obliged for this purpose to
taste and chew it, although in q short
time 1t produces very painful effect
on their mouths and tongues.
AS the cinnamon quilts are examined
the smaller ones are inserted into the
larger, and the whole IS then tied up In
bundles weighing about Lightweight
pounds each.
In Ceylon the oil Of cinnamon is usu-
ally prepared by grinding the coarsest
pieces of bark, soaking this powder
in sea water for two or three days and
then distllling. Two oils pass over, one
lighter the other heavier than water.

TELESCOPES.
The Difference Between Reaeeting
and Refrncting Kinds.

The Difference Between ReGeeting
and Refrncting Kinds.
A very pretty little experiment which
Illustrates the two methods Of forming
an optical image and by way Of cor
ollary illustrates the essential differ
ence between refractlng and rejecting
telescopes may be performed by any
one who possesses reading glass and
q magnlfylng hand mirror. In room
that is not too brightly Illuminated pin
n sheet of white paper on the wall op-
posite to n window that by preference
should face the north or away from the
position Of the sun. Taking first the
reading glass. hold 1t between the win
dow and the wall parallel to the sheet
Of paper and foot or more distant
from the latter. By moving 1t to and
fro a little you will be able TO find
distance corresponding to the focal
length Of the lens, at which n picture
Of the window is formed on the paper.
This picture, or Image, will be upside
down because the rays Of light cross
at the focus. BY moving the glass a
little closer TO the wall you will cause
the picture of the window to become
indistinct. while a beautiful image Of
the houses, trees or other objects Of the
outdoor world beyond will be formed
upon the paper. We thus learn that the
distance of the image from the lens va
ries with the distance Of the object
whose image Is formed. In precisely n
similar manner an image is formed at
the focus of the object glass Of a re-
fractlng telescope.
Take next your magnifying or con-
cave mirror. and, detaching the sheet
of paper from the wall, hold 1T nearly
In front Of the mirror between the lat
ter and the window. When you have
adjusted the distance to the focal
length Of the mirror, you will see an
image Of the window projected on the
paper. BY varying the distance as be-
fore you Will be able to produce ut will
pictures Of nearer or more remote OBJ
jects. II is I'm this way that images are
formed at the focus OF the mirror Of n
rejecting telescope.

FIRE AND AIR.
The Ancients Recognized the Init
mate Relations Between Them.

The Ancients Recognized the Init
mate Relations Between Them.
The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air
was necessary for fire. The expert
ment Of burning a candle In closed
vessel, now so familiar to every school
boy, Is a very old one, and the infiu-
ence Of blast Of air on a furnace had
been probably noticed from a very re-
mote period. BY some 1t was affirmed
to be the food Of fire, while by others
the same belief was embodied In the
phrase, Air nourishes fire"
Again. 1t was long ago observed that
inter, q substance we'll known to the
chemical philosophers Of the past, could
produce intense ignition. 1t was hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property, 1t necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each 9th
er in composition According to Rob
ert Boyle, the air contained volatile
inter-" while Lord Bacon held that air
contained volatile, crude and windy
spirit" and thunder and lightning
were supposed to be due to the pres
ence Of minute particles OF this inter
diffused through air.
The important bearing Of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one of the chief constitu-
ents Of air and the one to which 1t
owes its power of supporting combus-
ton, also forms the largest elementary
constituent OF inter and Is likewise the
source Of the power possessed by that
body Of supporting combustion.
The action Of heat on metals In caus-
Ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Car
dan. n philosopher who lived during
the sixteenth century in noticing the
increase In weight that lead undergoes
when heated In air, attributed 1t to the
gas In the air, which feeds flame and
which reklndles body presenting an
fQnftpd nOint
