THE RELIGIOUS DRAMA DISCUSSED.
National Arts Club Hold Twelfth Night
Celebration in New Home

'If were Archbishop OF New York would
lay foundation for religious press, and then
build theatre in which all the Catholics and
many. Of the Protestants could witness forty
modern religious plays that the best writer's
could provide" said the Rev. John Talbot Smith
last night at the National Arts Club at It's cels-
bration OF Twelfth Night. IN the new club
house. on the south side OF Gramercy Park
The speaker was chairman OF the committee
on discussion. and he summing up after the
other speakers had addressed those present on
the subject THE Religious Drama. Should 1t
Be?" Mrs. Emma Beokwith had told them that
the New York public liked the four Cohans bet

he you may pretend that you are not a re-
ligious animal. but you are and you might as
we'll acknowledge it."
Charles Henry Meltzer said In part:
When we say that we are opposed to such an
uplifting, beautiful drama "Everynan'' Ii is
not entirely to our credit. There are scoffers-
clever people who are smart who have no souls.
They sit in the first rows of the orchestra stalls

pie who go to such a play have hearts, or. IL

Charles Lamb. who followed Mr.. Neither said
in part:
II is art that has made the miracle play pos

directing that the church be decorated with the

that religious art will carry its own conviction

COST OF DISCOVERING AMERICA.

$40, and leading lawyer In the time of Edward
" was content with a fee which amounted to 81
in our money. A sumptuous Christmas dinner
could be bought then for II cents. a dollar a
long In those days. but the salaries of profess
sonal men and the wages of laborers seem alb
sQrdly meagre when compared with the best paid
ability and skin in these modern days. The good
old times would present attractions those who
imagine there time when labor was much
better rewarded than II is to-day. Despite the
monopolies and the trusts moderate fortune can
be acquired more readily than 1t could In for

CHEAP OXYGEN.
From The Baltimore American.


Cheap oxygen is the important product thus
far obtained from liquid air for which such ex-
travagant prophecies have been made AS the
nitrogen and oxygen of the liquid air return to the
gaseous state at different temperatures. it has
proved to he possible to separate them by frao-
tonal dstillation and the evaporation of the
gases cools the air entering to be compressed in the
apparatus. the process Is very economical An
idea Of this efficiency has lately been given by NJ
Georges Claude His plant produces 1000 cubic
metres of oxygen with purity of So to sS per cent

only One-twentieth OF that of oxygen from the
