FEELING Heat and Cold

The principal reasons that we feel
objects that are cold when brought IN
contact with the skin quicker than
those that are warm is that the skin,
being a very poor conductor of heat
absorbs heat slowly from an object of
a higher temperature than itself, while
other objects which are cooler and
which in nearly every instance are
better conductors of heat than the skin
absorb heat readily froIl the skin. and
hence sensation of cold Is felt at
once

All Innovation

Reserved Seals at Keith's BOSTON Theatre
Ii seems fitting that the new plan of
reserving seats at kelth's Theatre, Bos-
ton, will GO into effect on next Monday.
March 4 h, EMANCIPATION Day" In
making this change 1t should not be
thought that the prices are to be raised.
for on the contrary the prices of many
of the seats will be less than before,
notably the first rows in the balcony,
which will be sold for so cents instead
of 81 90, while the rows in the orchestra
for which 81 so has been the price when
sold reserved, will now be Is cents for
the af ernoous excepting Saturdays ana
holidays, and 81 90 for all evenings, in
cluding saturdays and holidays.
All seats In the orchestra and frs bal
cony will be reserved, tickets sold for
the afternoons being good up 10 @ =. Vi
while those purch ssed for the evenings
will entitle the holder TO tie seat called
for by the coupon after $50 p M. Seats
can be secured one week IN advance.
Another innovation will be the open
ing of subs jIiption lists whereby patrons
can secure the same seats each week,
with the exception of Saturdays and
bo idays
The new plan will IN no way interfere
with tho continuous performance, for
the doors will be open at l 30 and the
show will run until 10 80 as usual The
prices of ad mission will remain as before
Orchestra, so cents; First Balcony, 50
cents. aud second Balcony, % cents
There will be reserved eeats at both OF
the first mentioned prices, but none al
