Billy Van upheld his reputation in Montgomery last night by pleasing 2 large audience at the Bijou Theatre. He hasla great show for fun.
 To have seen Billy Van. as he ap- peared last night in Patsy in Politics. Is to retain a mental picture Of Il req haired, idiotic chap, clad in the limit of freakish costumes, and possessed or the faculty that really makes you think what he pretends to be before the foot lights.
 From the time he made his unique appearance on the stage from cash register. to the instant the close of the last act when he lost his political cam paign by one vote. Billy Van as Patsy Bolivar to use the slang expression, Had 'em going" His first hit was scored when he sang his song "skidoo. after which there was no mistaking that ,he was the life of all that hap pened. His Jokes fell fast and thick. and in the second act his species of a monologue. caused him to be called back until he could respond no more.
 In his hodge podge of everything that tended to entertain. Van had with him several supporting members who came near being as greatly in demand as fife others in the show had good parts well taken. There was a fascinating chorus. a bunch of fetching songs all the way through. and variety of pret- ty costuming.
 In summing up the cast, the name of Blanche Latell deserves mention among the first, not because she had much to do or say. but because she was such a queer looking object as Becky Skinner" the long. lanky, short-dress- ed, white stockinged girl, with express sionless face and awkward manner, that she could not be looked at with out amusement. ,,
 Glenn Evans was the original c0In- try sheriff as "Pinkerton Punch" with his Along. wiry frame and his red goa tee
 AS an Englishman of grace, refine ment and brogue. Charles Saxon was indeed good. Rose Beaumont, cast as Giloriana Bird. the Englishman's lover, was not entirely what one would have expected to see and hear. Other charac- ters were generally good, especially unthankfu1 part of Adam Crouch, the avaricious, designing money lender, in which J. Hooker Wright was cast
 Among the musical numbers which will last for while, were rThe Jolly Little Johnnies,' the male quartette's excellent work, the travesty on grand opera in which Van took a prominent part, and Love Is Wonderful Thing" by Charles Saxon and Rose Beaumont. Billy Van and his company will play again at the Bijou tonight.

Diseases of Memory,

Writing of diseases of the memory a Russian doctor gives an interesting account of some of the eccentricities of his patients. Tn the case of literary man some time previous to his seeking advice he had been troubled with an absolute failure of memory. He could remember exactly everything he had done more than year ago, but occur rences of later date he had entirely forgotten. When attacked by the dis ease he was engaged in writing a novel, which he had half finished. He remembered the first half, but could not tell how he had intended to finish It. He was at last unable to remember whether he had dined.
 In another case the patient tells of his travels. but repeats the tales a dozen times an hour with the same phrases. He would play game of cards carefully and well. Five min. utes afterward he would mention that he had not played for weeks. He would say Good morningr' when the doctor made his first visit of the day but did not remember the visit three minutes later If the doctor again looked in.

Some Novel R 2ces,

A London newspaper some years ago contained an account of strange sort of contest which two noblemen got up for their own amusement. It consist ed of matching a flock of turkeys against a flock of geese for a race on the London and Norwich road in the middle of the last century. The tur- keys would insist upon flying up into the roadside trees to roost, while the geese, keeping up a steady waddle all night, reached London from Norwich two days ahead. The same journal also mentions the feats of the Hon. Tom Coventry's sprinting pig. In 1903 this speedy animal was matched against a celebrated runner and start ed a strong favorite on the lay of the race, which she won with ease The pig had been trained to run the dis tance each day for It's dinner. Anoth- CT odd contest about this time took place between two sporting noblemen, who raced against each other on a windy day on Hampstead Heath, one running backward in jack boots and the other holding up an open umbrella and running forward.

Lareest Crater on the Earth.

The volcano Aso-san, in southern Japan. on the island of Kiushu, pos sesses the largest crater known on the earth. It Is about fourteen miles across in one direction, by ten or eleven fin the other, and is surrounded by walls of an average height of POO feet. Although the volcano is still ac- tive, its eruptions consist only of ashes and dust. Indeed, a range of volcanic mountains, evidently of subsequent formation, extends directly across the old crater. In these particulars Aso- san resembles some of the craters Of the moon, where long history of sue. cessive and gradually enfeebled out breaks of volcanic force is graphically represented
