Historic Paqeants.

Last year the town of Warwick,
England, celebrated outdoors some Of
the most interesting events In its his
tory by pageant, in which hundreds
Of persons assumed the character and.
In appropriate costume, performed the
parts Of historic personages. This
year similar pageant took place at
Oxford, and more lately there was an
other at Romsey Mark Twain, who
was one of the spectators Of the Ok.
ford pageant, remarked that America.
which provides SO many fine sights.
had never furnished anything to equal
that. The length and richness of Euro
pean history Of course offer attrac-
tions for such pageant which could
not be found in like abundance and
variety in America. Take. for exam
pie, the case of Romsey-a town SO
small that comparatively few Ameri-
cans know anything about 1t: yet Its
name was conferred upon 1t by the
Romans. and its actual history goes
back thousand years. 1t was near
Romsey that William Rufus was shot
by bolt from crossbow. while hunt
ing deer in the New forest, and his
body removed in the rude cart of
charcoal burner. ignorant of the dead
mans identity. In the pageant lineal
descendant of the charcoal burner act
ed the part of his ancestor, and an
other part was taken by lineal de-
scendant of Walter Tyrrell. who is
supposed to have shot the king. But.
remarks the Youths Companion, II
such length of history as this is lack
ing to American cities and towns,
there is nevertheless no dearth of in.
teresting event and stirring episode
which might well be produced in out.
door pageants, designed, as those In
England have been. by students OF the
local history, and produced by the
cordial cooperation OF rich and poor.
high and low. without thought OF
money-making. II is a matter OF re-
gret among many students OF social
development that the stage. which In
Its early days was one OF the greatest
of moral and educational forces. has
80 completely failed to maintain its
power. Might not the historical pag.
cant be made to do at least n part OF

ZooIoay,s New Service.

Instead Of going to geology and
physical geography to throw light on
zoology. DIR. ScharfY Of Dublin has re.
versed the process. In a paper read
to the biologists In Boston he proceed.
ed from the general principle that the
distribution OF animals now living on
the earth tells the story OF the forma.
ton and changes OF continents. The
fact that certain fauna are common to
widely separated regions. such as
Japan and the United States. points to
q time when Asia was connected with
North America by land bridge near
Bering Strait. 1t is furthermore prob.
able that the widely differing species
OF eastern and western America prove
that these regions were once separat.
ed by water. This theory is n striking
example OF tho constructive imagina.

Queer Case Of phantlasIs.

New York.-Physicians at the King,

most remarkable case of that rare dis.
case, elephantiasis. The patient Ia

sixty.three years old. Before she was
attacked by the disease she weighed
l40 pounds. She new weighs 525
pounds and is gaining daily in size. Her
skin is thick, hard and coarse. like an
elephants.
The disease first manifested itself
seven years ago. Two years later she
found she weighed 355 pounds. and
then In alarm she resorted to medicine
and dieting. but these measures were
Of no avail. A week ago a physician d.
agnosed her disease as elephantiasis.
An idea OF the effect Of the disease
may be judged from the fact that each
Of her legs are Us large In circumfcr-
ence as the body Of q well developed
man.
The doctors do not know whether
she will recover.
