MAKING ARTIFICIAL LIFE.
Living Things Are Created by the Operations of scien-
 lists

Scientists have been recently inter ested in the announcement that Prof. J. Butler Burke. of the Cavendish lab oratory. Cambridge. England. has succeeded in creating, by chemical reactions, certain living bodies Of an extremely low form, which he calls "radiobes."
 Prof. Burke, says the Technical World Magazine, treated solution oi gelatine with bromide of radium and the radiobes resulted. A radiobe ap' pears first as "the minutest visible speck." and "it grows to two dots, then a dumb -bell-shaped appearance, later more like frogs spawn"
 But is it really alive? On this point hear Prof. Burke himself:
 "The continuity of structure, assim' ilation and growth, and then subdivi' sion, together with the indicated strue' ture as shown in a few of the best specimens. suggest that they are en- titled to be classed among living things. in the sense in which we use the words.
 They are, obviously. altogether out. side the beaten track of living things, Thus the gap. apparently in superable, between the organic and in organic world seems, however roughly to be bridged over by the presence of these radio-organic organisms"

THE KAISER AND BISMARCK
Why Emperor William Dismissed the Greatest Statesman of His
 Time.

Baron Heckeldorn contributes to La Revue a character sketch of the Ger man emperor.
 About 15 years ago came the dis missal of Bismarck. and as no one has ever been able to give satisfac- tory explanation of the real cause, the baron offers one "hitherton unpub- lished." It emanates from Dr, Roth, a Swiss diplomatist
 "The federal council,' writes Baron Hecklendorn, had taken the initiative in proposing an international confer- ence for the protection of labor to pc held at Berne in 1890. No sooner did the kaiser hear of it than he demand ed that the conference should meet al Berlin. Bismarck did not approve oi the Eaiser's plan. and when all failed he asked the Swiss ambassador to per suade his government to persist Tn it's original proposal. Whether Dr. Roth did so is not stated. but prob ably not, as the congress assembled at Berlin in due course.
 A few days after the news or the chancellor's visit reached the ears ol the kaiser. who was furious and had long conversation with the chancellor. This was March 19, and everyone knows Bismarck was dismissed on the 20th. Also, the writer states, the kaiser not long after presented his portrait to Dr. Roth with the dedi- cation. "To Dr. Roth.

ROMEO AND JULIET

A very artistic and very Interesting production was the presentation of Romeo and Juliet" last evening at Polls theater. The play house was filled with an appreciative audience and it was one of those audiences that Waterbury takes pride in at times. There was nothing to mar the beauty of the presentation. unless we except the tittering and laughing of some peo- pie present. and those mostly in some of the upper galleries. This rude in terruption must have come home to the star of the production. Mir Sothern, for it must surely have recalled sim liar experience that his wife. Virginia Harmed. had in this city some years ago. It does seem strange that in an artistic production like the one of last evening certain people cannot restrain their feelings of mirth. and those feel ings exhibited in some of the most touching passages of the play. E. H. Sothern as Romeo and Miss Julia Mar lowe as Juliet scored individually, and their meritorious and realistic spresen- tation of these characters called for all the enconiums they received. In every scene. in every passage. in every line they enacted the beauty and life of the characters so vividly and earn estly that the immense audience seemed to live with them the charac- ters they portrayed. Seldom have two stars so captivated and elated an audi ence as did Mir Sothern and Miss Mar lowe last evening. The artist shone forth in each and the cleverness exhib ited more than repaid the audience for their presence. And what company of actors and actresses assisting them, eahc and everyone perfect and pleas ing. Particularly so was the enact ment of the role of Mercutio by Fred erick Lewis. who was star by him. self. The duel and death scene par ticipated in by this young actor was one of as clever and pretty bit of stage work as has ever been seen on the local stage. It was one of the per. fOrmances that the people of this city of admission could not keep the local theater attendants and those of sur rounding towns away. Staged so beau tifully that you wanted to applaud when the curtain arose on each scene and costumed so handsomely that you were surprised at the elaborateness of 1t all. It was one of the dramatic events of the season and worthy of the appreciation it received both in the generous applause and in the large attendance.

A CRAVE DANGER.

To neglect backache. which is very often the only outward sign that na- ture gives of serious trouble in the kidneys, is to give free reign to seri- ous disorders that may end in dropsy, gravel, diabetes or Bright's disease.
 The kidneys filters of the blood lie just beneath the small of the back, on either side of the spine. AS soon as there is any inflammation or conges- tion in the kidneys. you notice a feel ing of uneasiness in the back, then that dull throbbing pain, changing to sharp twinges when any sudden strain is brought upon the back. It Is hard to straighten after stooping, you feel lame in the morning.
 There will be no danger at any time, however. if you begin using Doan's Kidney Pills as soon as you notice backache or any irregularity of the urine This medicine is compound of pure roots and herbs that act direct ly on the kidneys. curing, healing and strengthening them. It cures the cause and backache, headache, languor dis appear.

Crosman impersonates an attractive New York woman we'll in her thirties who fancies that she has come to mild ly scorn men because she is peculiarly self sufficient, almost strong minded" ]" It is at house party given by her cousin, Mrs. Horace Belmore, that she meets a certain globe trotting English man who has about the same mental attitude toward women as she has to- ward men.
 The two are eventually attracted to each other through the incidents which grow out of Miss Mary's attempt to se- cure letter written to the Englishman by her cousin before her marriage and during a mild Irritation with him There is enough of the original French comedy left to entail generous allow. ance of complications. conversations at cross purposes. and the like.
 Miss Crosnan has always played well the attractive yet masterful wom- an. and this role gives her another op. portunity of this sort.
 E. S. Willard's engagement at the New Amsterdam theater has proved a success both artistically and financial. ly. In the many plays he produced he demonstrated again the wide scope of his admirable dramatic powers. In Tom Pinch" Mir. Willard won the unqualified approval of the metropol itan press.
 Tom Pinch is we'll described as 'one of the most kindly. unselfish and Iowa ble of all Dickens characters" and Mir. Willard seemed inspired into giv' Ing his rendition just the touches need ed to bring out the suggestion of real ity,. .,...,
 L. Mir. Willard's makeup and manner reminded one strongly of the following description of the original character by Dickens himself:
 "An ungainly. awkward looking man extremely shortsighted and premature ly bald. He was dressed in snuff

And she eats fruits by the quantity.
 And there is. another thing swhich the tall girl does not neglect, and tHat is her hour of gymnastics. It is nec- essary for her to practice gymnastics an hour at night. and never does she seek her couch without going through with them.
 Keeping the chest raised is very im- portant. And it is knack which tho feminine six-footer has learned. She keeps her chest raised all the time.
 The very tall girl learns how ts walk upstairs. When she goes up- stairs she does not throw herself for ward and pant Neither does she dras herself up. With her dress well lifted she walks upstairs perfectly erect: She plants each foot upon the stair and steps forward and upward very much as though she were walking up hill. It is fine exercise when you climb stairs in this way. Stair climbing does not hurt you.
 The very tall girl learns how to rest. She never wastes one moemnt of en- ergy. She has the knack of resting against a cushion. of resting against +~a eheiro back. of resting against S6ne-I thing so that her muscles get little repose.
 Relaxing at the pro per time is dis. tinct art, but it is one which the short girl does not possess All short girl1 are nervous: all short girls are rest- less; all short girls are active. and all short girls are tired. The fact that they are active and restless really keeps them from growing tall.
 The tall girl, on ;he other hand. . full of repose.. She knows how a: re- ..lax,.-snd the woman who has ie91pee the art of resting has gained more bat ties in this world than the woman wh1 has conquered fortune

TALL AND GRACEFUL GIRL.
This Is Day of Woman of Long Lines and How She Should Carry
 Herself

The tall girl practices the Berlin method of sleeping and waking The new Berlin theory of waking up is one that was first written out by physi- clan named Halle. of Germany Halle tried it upon his patients in a Berlin sanitarium, and such was his success that he has kept on with it.
 The sanitarium was for wealthy pa- tients, who were little too stout.
 The idea Is to wake up slowly and deliberately. Here are the Halle rules, the rules by which you can make your- self taller:
 Wake up in the morning and stretch. Practice the arm movements. Without getting out of bed, lie flat upon your back, stretch your arms over your head and imagine that you have dumbbells in your hands. Exer- else your arms upward. Try it dozen times. Move your arms upward again and again. Try the arm motions side ways. Keep on for five or ten minutes. Then stretch. Stretch every muscle in your body Keep on stretching until you have stretched for l5 minutes. Then begin and gap.
 This waking up slowly is really all there is of the famous Halle method, which women go to Germany and pay a small fortune to learn. Any woman can pick it up for herself. But il takes time and time is something the average woman does not possess. nI The'ta girl is eating the foods that make the frame grow She takes meat once a day and usually white meat, if she can get it. She also eats fish

THE MERMAID.

The revival of the sea serpent tales and theories naturally brings to mind that other marine curosity so often mentioned-namely, the mermaid. Many stories are told of this remarkable creature, not only by ancient but by comparatively modern writers and tray. elers,
 Of course, such superstitions were moi to be let pass by those unscrupulous and soheming individuals who are eve, ready to use credulity for their benefit Thus, to say nothing of the imposture, constantly practiced at fairs and b, travelling show people, striking in. stance of this kind occurred not many years ago in London. A mermaid wal exhibited in leading street at the wes end of the town A pretty round fel was charged for admission, and thl dupes were shown 8 strange lookint object in glass case which was un blushingly declared to be a mermaid But the imposture was too gross ito las long. As a result of 8 lawsuit whici arose over the profits that accrued iron the exhibition, it was ascertained u be the dried skin of the head ant shoulders of a monkey attached by Glutinous matter to the dried skin o 8 fish of the salmon kind, and thI whole was stuffed and highly varnish | ad thn hnftnyS 10 +l,o In pamphlet communicated to thI Royal Society in 1876 by one ThomaI | Slower, Ian ingenious chirurgeon'' wfl had lived for some years in Virginia Mir, Slower would seem to have reckon ed the merman among the inhabitant of the colony, judging from the minau accuracy of his description of the eTea ture. which is as follows: "A mos prodigious creature much resembling l man, only somewhat larger, standinI
 upright in the water with. his head neck, shoulders and breast to the GU
 bits of his arms above water; his skill
 was tawny, much like that of an In dian: the figure of his head was pyra midal and slick, without hairi his eye
 large and black and so were his eye
 brows: his mouth very wide. with |
 broad black streak on the upper lip
 his neck, shoulders arms and bread
 were like those of man; his handz
 if he had any, were under water" Tn l above is suggestive as illustrating thI
 creative powers of the mind of persol
 having faith in such superstitiens
 coupled with vivid imagination.- Phil adelphia Ledger.
