Origin of Term, "Green Room.'-The
origin of the term green room" was
recently propounded to several prOmi-
nent actors by an eastern publication
which was preparing learned version
of just how the designation came into
use. Among those addressed We're
Richard Mansfield f II. So1nern,
Robert Mantell. and Ezra Kendall. In
due time Mr.. Kendall received proofs
from the publishers of the versions al
ready sent in. Libraries evidently had
been literally consulted. as all stage
historians were quoted and there was
much convincing data. Summed up
they all were to the effect that the
room became identified as the green"
one because of that color being FREEDOM
mate in the decoration schemes. 1t
was then up 10 Mr.. Kendall, who, be-
cause of his reputation as a humOrist
had been requested TO be "facetiOus'
This is too grave a question to be
handled in a light VEIN replied Mr..
Kendall, land | am going to give what
is my idea of the true version. In the
older theaters there was a large room
provided just off the stage where the
many supernumeraries were sent TO
keep them from making noises behind
the scenes. They were usually a very
green lot and therefore the room in
which they were herded soon became
identified as the green room So COM
mon became the term, | suppose. that
these rooms were later painted green.

BRAIN AND BULLET.
What Happens When the Skull Is
Pierced by a Shot,


The results of firing a bullet at a
dat brittle bone and into n soft sub
stance like the BRAN are very different.
The bone is pierced, and the lateral dis
placement OF its particles is very slight,
but the brain is thrown aside in all di-
fections. The difference is due to the
different degree of cohesiveness of the
particles composing the two bodies or,
In other words, to the greater iuidity
Of the softer structure.
Next, the Importance of fluid on
tents in intensifying the effects of a
bullet fired through a closed recepta-
Gle is shown by one of Kocher's expert
ments. Two identical tin canisters
were filed with equal quantities of
lint, which in one was dry and In the
other saturated with water.
A bullet of moderate velocity fired
through them simply perforated the
dry one, but caused the wet n to
burst explosively. Kocher also filled
a skull with water and found that a
bullet fired through it caused bursting
Of the sutures.
Very remarkable Is the SCATTERING
that results when skulls that have been
filled with water or with wax are
treated in this way. and II they are

One at a time they inhaled three OF

"One boat interested Us. Its divers

were all girls. They were young Greek

De Catinat had already rushed to the

were running with their heads bent to-
ward the Stockade, the door of which
had been opened to admit them. Here
and there from behind the trees came
little blue puffs of smoke. AS the
gate swung into place behind the little
party the brass cannon at the corner
gave a fash and a roar, while the
whole outline of the wood was traced

bullets raped up against the wooden
wall like hail upon a easement.
