The influences of the Chautauqua on the community are all for the good and are quite marked. The leading people of the town unite to organize the as- sembly and the various clergymen and ministers are always interested. This promotes fraternity among the churches, tends to lessen denomnational compe- tItion and brings the religious life of a town into harmony. The lectures and lessons also promote a desire for good reading and many poole are insupired to take up serious books, or to begin a reading course such as Is laid down by the c. l.. s. C.-the Chautauqua Lit erary and Scientific Circle. The desire to read means demand for books, and in many towns of the Middle West the Chnutauqua movement is directly respon- slble for the erection and maintenance of free public library.
 Chlckasha, Indian Territory, is town vet in It's teens, but Its handsome IT, brary in q Grecian building of stone has been fitted out with good collection of reference books by the local Chau- saved many Carnegie library by agl- tating the public mind, and prevent ing a city council from going back on the promise of so much year to buy books and maintain the library.
 Then the Chautauqua assembly ad- yances the standard of education Tn com munity. The local high school is bene- ited, and many youths are now In col lege who would have been on the farm if their fathers had not been awakened by the Chautauqua assembly to the value of a higher education. Fewer young men are kept away from college by pow erty in these prosperous times than by the notion of parents that @ college edu- cation Is a useless and expensive thing, which is more likely to ruin the boy than to help him.
 While New England the south and the Pacific coast have all taken kindly to the Chautauqua movement, 1t has reached It's fullest development in the prosperous states of the middle west Iowa leading with more than sixty as- semblies. Illinois. Ohio, Indiana, Missouri Texas. Oklahoma. Kansas. Wisconsin and Michigan follow with from forty down to twelve assemblies each. The movement is growing every summer and bids fair to double scope within the next two or three years. No greater movement for education of adults has ever been undertaken and like all distinctively American movements, It sprang from the demand of the people for such education, and is not the growth of a plan to force education upon the uneducated The people desired to come in contact with the leading men of the day. and when they found that the Chau- tauqua would serve their purpose they welcomed 1t.

The Actor and. His Voice.

The supreme gift of the actor is his
voice. A singer may or may not be
vocally gifted. Yvette Guilbert gives
all the effect of melody. even evokes
the spirit of tragic horror, with vocal
organs that are stiller and smaller
than the proverbial voice of con-
science. The most famous Carmen of
our day is said on authority to be one
OF the worst singers. To the great
actor, writes John Corbin in Apple
tons Magazine, the essential is voice,
again voice, always voice. Mr. Mans
field himself has said something of the
kind very eloquently, in an address to
the students of the Empire School of
Acting. Think of your voice as
color and as you paint your picture
(the character you are painting, the
scene you are portraying) mix your
colors. You have on your palate
(palette) a white voice, la voix
blanchei heavenly ethereal or blue
voice, the voice of prayer; a disagree
able, jealous, or yellow voice; a steel
gray voice for quiet sarcasm; a brown
voice for hopelessness; a lurid, red
voice for hot anger; a deep, thunder
Gus voice for black; a cherry voice,
the color of the green sea that a brisk
breeze is crisping; and then there's a
pretty little pink voice, and the shades
OF violet-but the subject is endless"

FAMOUS ARKANSAS RIVER CASE
is FINALLY DECIDED.
SUPREME COURT DISMISSED IT
Decree Entered Without Prejudice as
to United States or Complaining
State = Reclamation of Barren
Lands in Defendant State Cited.

Washington, May IA. The some
what famous case of the state OF
Kansas against the state of Colorado,
by which the former sought to have
the latter enjoined from diverting
the waters of the Arkansas river for
irrigation purposes, Or permitting
its citizens to do so, was dismissed
by the supreme court of the United
States today. The announcement of
the courts decision was made by
Justice Brewer. who said the dismis-
sal was without prejudice to the
right of Kansas to serve its petition
Whenever it can show that that state
Is being substantially injured. The
intervening petition of the United
States also was dismissed.
The case has been on the court
docket since 1901, when Kansas first
lodged its bill of complaint. In that
document 1t was alleged that the
numerous irrigation bitches in Colo
rado mad caused such a great and
permanent diminution of the volume
or water as to render a once nayi-
gable stream almost totally dry: to
greatly diminish the power for
manufacturing purposes; to lower to
Cne extent of about five feet the sur
lace of the under1ow of the stream
and TO entirely shut of the supply
or water for irrigation in western
KANSAS. The loss was reported to
be lncalculable.
Kansas asked for Injunction to be
directed especially against FIJI
ture appropriations, and to recoe-
hlze the principle of priority or right
on the part of Kansas bitches or
ganlzed before bitches in Colorado.
Inc common law doctrine relative
TO riparian rights was strong de-
pendence of the complaining state
and 1t was strenuously urged that
under this right waters of the river
could not be diverted to distant
'anos' as Is done under such exten-
siVe systems of irrigation as prevail ]

A substitute for beeswax has been
discovered in the leaves of the rafia
palm, a product OF the Island of
Madagascar. The wax is extracted by
the simple process of beating the dried
LEAVES on mat to small bits. The
particles are then gathered and boiled.
The resultant wax is 'kneaded into
small cakes. Experiments are being
made with the new substance to find
out its commercial value-whether it
may be used for bottling purposes, in
the manufacture of phonograph cylin-
ders, etc. Thus with artificial wax and
