James j. Corbett, whose earnest
efforts in recent years as a player u
parts, and whose success has been
quite sufficient to entitle him to con-
sideration as an actor rather than as
pugilistic champion, will fill q
nights engagement at the pavilion
next Wednesday at the head of his
own company in Facing the Music.
The engagement will be doubly in.
teresting from the. fact that Mr.. Cor
bett is prime favorite in this city,
and his new play will give him
abundant opportunity to demonstrate
his talents as a comedian. Those
who have heard Mr.. Corbett in his
highly humorous monologue, will not
have to be told that he is really a
comedian. Much of the effect of his
humor is in its very drollness, and
his friends will readily agree that it
will not tax Mr.. Corbett's resources
W AAAoAhSoih last pdO0 III tHlo ulSIlHct-
ly funny play, in which he has been
surrounded with a particularly can
able cast of players.
Facing the Music was originally
produced in New York with Henry Il.
Dixey in the principal character, and
it enjoyed long run at the Madison
Square theater. 1t was subsequently,
disclosed at Powers theater in Chi
cago, where it ran throughout the
summer few years ago.
Last winter H. H. Frazee, who en-
tered into contract with Mr. Cor
bett under the terms of which the
latter was to be starred decided that
Facing the Music" was just the
.hiag for his stalwart and handsome
charge. The work is b. Charles

The comnla,.. is that the chicks either fail to hateh or. matching. they fail to i've WI, the embryo should live through ,ha ;r. cubation period and die before hatch. ing is a problem that bothers tha ,,. cubator operator more probably than any other. IL is a keen disappoipt. ment to the incubator user to sna after the eggs apparently have pra gressed satisfactorily up to the tina of matching that 25 per cent of them more or less. have failed to hatpb This means a large loss te the poultry. man, and if there were no other preh. lem involved in incubation than that of the chicks dying in the shell f would warrant extended investigation
 The testimony is very conflicting as to the efficiency of ineubators. Hatcbes as high as 90 to % Der cent of fer. tile" eggs are frequently made and as low as 9 per cent or less Some claim that the fault is in the stock that laid the eggs Others claim that the man who runs the incubator is usually to blame in failing to follow instructions and this is very often tie case.
 All exen more serious problem is to hatch the chicks well saAe claim that il is easy to hatch the clicks. but hard to raise them. Some reports are nude to the effect that within four weeks after matching every chick has died. At certain seasons of the year proba. hiy 5o per cent of the incubator chicks die The ca lse of this great mortality is usually aseribed te faulty methods of breeding or feeding The fact that the chick may be matched with iIn- paired vitality has not been recognized fully. The evidence of vitality should not be merely that the chick survives the breeding period. but that It comes to maturity with vitality equal to that of the parent stock and is capable of transmitting the same yigor and health to the second generation.
 A series of carefully conducted in. yestigations tt the Oregon Agricultural college has brought out the following facts as to the comparative efficiency of hens and incubators:
 From s79 eggs set. ineubators hatch ed .,33 chiefs. or 60G per cent.
 From a1o eggs hens matched 2ls chicks. or 1s.s per cent.
 Eliminating eggs broken in nests the hens matched sS.aa per cent of eggs set.
 The incubators hatched 1s.5 per eent of fer. He" eggs. and the hens hatehed g6.5 per cent.
 Eggs incubated artitieially tested out 2a per cent Us infertile. while those incubated by hens tested out llS per cent
 The incubators showed l6.6 per cent of chicks dead in the she'll and the hens 2.S per cent.
