by THE EAvnsDRcPPER

Col. Epes Randolph Of Tucson, Ari-

Angeles were jubilant last night over
news from the Colorado river country

to high-water mark and the levees had
shown no signs of breaking.
Col. Randolph received hourly dis

the water reached twenty-seven and o
half feet It was believed that all trouble
in that direction was at an end.

of the dam, but have been In doubt
about the levees holding, and this is

LA B0HEME' IS
SEASONS S TREAT
NOTHING FINER EVER DONE
HERE BY ANY ONE
Season in Auditorium Opens Most
Auspiclously-New Triumphs for
Constantine and Miss
Nielsen

Nothing finer in the way of opera was
ever given in Los Angeles than the
presentation of Puccinrs la Boheme"
by the San Carlo company as its first
offering in the Auditorium last night.
This means exactly what 1t says. AS
to soloists, ensemble, chorus, scenery
and orchestra 1t has never been
equaled here.
The opera itself is a prime favorite
in Los Angeles and attracted a goodly
audience, though not nearly so large
a one as it deserved. Impresario
Henry Russell calls those who partici-
pated in it his "all star cast" He is
absolutely correct in so denominating
them. Nielsen, Constantine, Fornari,
Dereyne-the last two for the first time
-Segurola, Pulcini, Barocchi, Perrin
and Ghidini all simply covered them
selves with glory. Nielsen's Mimi was
perfect and Constantino's Rodolpo was
supremely good. Dereyne's Musetta
was a revelation; her fine mezzo voice
in delight. Fornari is all that could
be desired as baritone. Borocchi, the
buffo, is fine. The whole support proved
most satisfactory. All sing superbly
and act better by far than does the or
dinary dramatic player-and this is so
unusual in grand opera, too. The
chorus again proved it's great worth,
and the finale of the second act was as
entrancing and immense a stage spec
tacle as has been seen here in years.
Every boast Of Mr.. Russell as to the
excellence and surprising qualities of
his La Boheme" has been kept, and
more. In the fine setting of the Aud
itorium it proved wonderful treat.
For today Faust and Carmen"
are announced. The casts are:

ALMOST BRINGS DEAD TO LIFE
Apparatus for Resuscitatlng Persona
Apparently Dead.

An apparatus for producing art.
fetal respiration has recently been
devised whereby In cases Of suspend
ed animation the action of the heart
and lungs can be renewed.
Prof. George Poe, the inventor OF
the apparatus, does not insist that
with its use life a be brought back,
but claims. according to the Scientific
American, that by artificial means
applied through the 'ustrumentality
OF the respirator persons killed by
as~phyxiation, poison or drowning can
be resuscitated; that the death OF
persons under the influence of an
aesthetics while being operated upon
al be prevented; that its use will
prevent infant asphyxia at birth:
hat a drunken person can be sob
cred in a few minutes; that persons
electroeuted or hanged-in the latter
case where the neck has not been
broken-can be revived, and that the
freezing to death of arctic explorers
can be obviated. These results are
accomplished by stimulating normal
respiration through artificial means.

Prince Consort a Hero,

Prince Henry, consort of Queen
Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, dis
tinguished himself the other day in
the eyes of his royal helpmeet's sub
jects by recovering her favorite
dachshund, which she had lost while
walking in a pine forest near one
of her residences. The story of this
heroic feat is thus told by an ad-
miring correspondent: "The queen was
exceedingly sorry, for she was much
attached to this particular dog. Prince
Henry therefore determined to go out
himself to look for the missing ia
vorite. He went at once to the for
ester's house in the woods and sat up
all night until the first streak of
dawn, when he began searching the
forest. To his great delight he was
rewarded by finding 'Paulinchen.'" A
prince consort unquestionably has his
uses.
