London managers, from their utter
ances, say no, but the fact remains that
while last season produced nothing Of
startling Importance and the managers
complained that asa. whole the season
was a financial failure, the present sea-
son, so far as it has gone, is no better.
Apart from the musical comedies, the
most of which appear to be drawing
good audiences nightly, the plays which
are just now running with success can
be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Mr.. Trees magnificent production of
Stephen Phillips poem drama, Nero -

public agree with the critic that
Pinero's play, Ellis House in Order,'

their success can be characterized,
mildly speaking, as but moderate.

Paris, Feb. 24.-This week has been

orally cold and damp. This is supposed
to be the height Of the carnival sea-

AS in Paris, the only jewellers who
really revel during the carnival are
the rougher elements. In Rome, once
the stronghold of the carnival folly,
there was nothing doing this year.
There was some animation in the Corso,
with feeble attempt at confetti throw

London, Feb. 24.-There is a lad in
the Seamen 3 hospital at Greenwich
who has now been lying constantly for
nine days in a warm bath, the water
being carefully watched and kept at
the same temperature. This lis being
done in an endeavor to cure blood pois-
oning and other diseases from which he
is suffering. His head is supported on
water pillows and he is watched day
and night lest in his delirium he should
slip beneath the surface and drown.
He is fed and sleeps in the water, and
there is now hope Of saving his life.
The water, which is constantly
changed, is kept at a temperature Of
lO4 degrees and a weak solution OF
antiseptic is added to it,
When the treatment was determined

The water absorbs all the impurities
discharged by the skin and supports

which makes all the difference between

BR|T0Ns QUIT WORRY
OVER WHEAT FAMINE
Artificial Production of Nitrates

New York Herald Special Cable Service. Copy

London, Feb. 24.-There is now no
danger Of a wheat famine in the future
if science can achieve what it claims.
Sir William Ramsay, reviewing the at
tempts made recently to put an arti-
fetal production Of nitrates from the
atmosphere in commercial basis, shows
in the Times the high value of this
scientific work, in relation to the en-
larging Of the worlds supply of wheat.
More than five years ago, he recalls,
Sir William Crookes uttered a warning
note that theapopulation Of the world
was increasing so rapidly that the sup
ply Of wheat would shortly not be suf-
fcient to feed it, but he predicted that
before we were in the grip Of actual
dearth the chemist would slip in and
postpone the day Of famine.
+ Sir William Ramsay proceeds to ex-
plain how the chemist has been doing
as was prophesied, first showing that
the air over each square mile Of the
earth s surface contains enough nitro
gen in free state to afford plant food
for over sixty years Of the world g
consumption if it were only combined,
and it's value would be about 100000
if it were in the form Of saltpeter.
One Of the attempts to cause nitrogen
| and oxygen to combine and furnish
nitrates is being made in Norway;
where works are being erected which
will produce large amounts Of nitrate
of calcium for direct use as a. fertilizer
This nitrate Of calcium may be brought
to market in one Of three forms, first
in finished state, in which it contains
1873 per cent Of nitrogen; second, in
crystal, and third, as a basic salt, which
forms dry powder, not turning moist
On exposure to air.
The present sources Of combined
nitrogen are limited. It is doubtful il
the deposits now obtainable from the
eastern slopes Of the Andes will last
beyond 1850, and if wheat is to BIZ
grown in sufficient quantities to supply
food for the western nations, the arti
fetal production Of nitrates is an alb
solute necessity. Its achievement pre-
vents the threatened suppression of tn,
wheat eaters by the rice eaters ant
maintains the supremacy Of wester,
civilization

London, Feb. N24.-Friends Of Mr..
Balfour, the former prime minister, are
very anxious regarding the state of his
health, as he has been far from well
for some time past and is, in fact, thor
oughly tired out and overworked. The
strain Of the ten years leadership, fol-
lowed by the arduous and unsuccessful
electoral campaign and by the period
Of unusual political stress and Difficult
ty, has overtaxed his naturally delicate
constitution.
Mr.. Balfour has been warned by his
medical advisers to take prolonged
rest as soon as his fight in the city is
at an end, and he has even been for.
hidden to indulge for the present in his
fa2orite game of golf.
He has, however, determined not to
begin until the city election is over
when it is the intention of his friends
to induce him to enjoy<the leisure he
sorely needs, and Of which he has had
but little experience. in recent years.

KAISER TO Celebrate
HIS SILVER WEDDING
Benefactions by the German Peo-
pie to Take Place Of Gifts

Special Gable to The Journal,

Special Gable to The Journal.
Berlin, Feb. 24.-Emperor William
will celebrate the twenty fifth anniver-
sary of his marriage, Tuesday. The
head Of the house of Hohenzoliern has
decreed that his nuptial silver Jubilee
shall be an exclusively family festivity
and marked only by the g gemuthlich
atmosphere characteristic of German
home life.
For several years friendly sovereigns
and admiring princes thruout Europe
have been planning to make the
kaiser's silver wedding the occasion of
great manifestation of the high per-
sonal esteem in which he is held by
brother and sister crowned heads, but
William frowned on the project and so
this historic event will pass into his
tory as a ''family affair." pure and
simple.
In the same manner the kaiser caused
it to be known that it would not be
pleasing either to him or the empress
that the people Of the fatherland
should be put to the burden Of con-
tributing for elaborate anniversary
presents. He said both of them would
immensely prefer that any funds his
loyal subjects were preparing to devote
to such a purpose should be spent in
| the name of charity. So great move
ment has been spreading over the en-
| pire for more than two years to COM
memorate the anniversary by endowing
a vast number Of hospitals, orphan
asylums, poorhouses, asylums for the
blind and kindred institutions >for the
unfortunate, with rich funds, ranging
in the case of small communities from
few thousand marks to millions in
the case of Berlin.
The kaiser reckons that generations
yet unborn will thus have cause to
recall with gratitude the names Of the
present wearers Of the HohenzolIern
crowns. Many Of the institutions which
will be built from silver wedding funds
will bear the names of either the en-
peror or empress. The empress has long
been Jealous in the patronage Of hos
pitfalls and churches, and there are al
| ready hundreds Of establishments for
the relief of the destitute or sick scat
tered all over the country called after
Augusta Victoria.
To further commemorate the silver
wedding, the kaiser has ordered the
coinage at the imperial mint of souvenir
2 and 5-mark silver pieces which will
bear the countenance of himself and
the empress, instead Of himself alone,
as on ordinary coins.
There is also widespread expectation
that Feb. 81 will be marked by the
declaration of general amnesty for a
variety Of criminal, civil and political
offenders who are now either incarcer.
ated or suffering under disabilities fol-

his own house several historic prece
