One of the best-known funmakers on the

have a pretty clearly defined -ense of humor:

Z T WAS a warm, weary and anxious crowd of
young women that filed the anteroom of
the great stage manager Seeking a posi-
ton In midsummer is the bane of the
actress life.
A little girl in modest brown, sitting near
the door, sighed dejectedly as the frowsy headed
boy coming from the inner Office called out

WON BY A SMILE

Afterward she didn't know how she got
through it-but she remembered she smiled; she
tried TO smile, although she didn't eel it. And
when she left, engaged for d place in the chorus,
she heard his voice: you'll win all right. You
have teeth, beautiful teeth, by Jovep
Teeth
Rows of teeth
Ghstening teeth; teeth as white as ivory, as
lustrous pearls A stage of teeth! That was
what the manager was looking Cor.
And later came the rehearsals. On the
morning after the first, the stage manager sat
up in bed and rubbed his eyes. Had he been
dreamingl
He tried to think. What had he had at the
club the night beforel Yes-he remembered
be had had 'horse's neck" It must have

Teeth! Heavens! His entire ballet was
composed of teeth! The calcium played on
teeth. The curtain rose and went down on
teeth. And IN his dream those teeth performed
uncanny dances; they sided and smirked; they

and faster, with wild abandon, increasing to a
furious frenzy. No wonder his head swan

upon her pretty face"
Seriously, which do you admire most,
teeth or tights? Notice the postcard trade
-baromet of public taste-and observe
which now prevails.
By what subtle telepathic process small
boys take to playing marbles at certain sea-
sons of the year is a thing such psyeholo-
gist as Lombroso might not be able to ex-
plain. It is equally true that at certain
times public taste changes, and they who
cater to public taste by some subconsclous
agency become aware, even before the hint,
of what the public wants: So 1t was when
tights gave way to the supremacy of teeth. The
change came quietly, almost unobserVed. But,
the small boys say, "It's here"
Just as publishers knew when the public
wanted historical novels stage managers knew
when it wanted teeth. Good teeth are the
"Three Weeks" of the stage, just now, and win
continue to be next season.
The rage for dental displays, which actual
" became feverish last season, has now infected
London. Reports come daily concerning the
marvellous teeth of TIE popular fairies of the
calcium.
1t was Ellaline Terriss who introduced the
vogue in London. Doubtless she saw some Of
the pictures of Elsie Janis, or Hattie Williams,
with foreground of cleaning ivories. Any
way, her smiles became wonderfully expansive
Every time she appeared she unveiled the ivory
display. And London gave way to strange de-
light.
Then there was falling off in the postal
card trade On most cards Sarah Bernhardt
didn't show her teeth. Mrs. Pat Campbell as
Electra" had her mouth pursed tight. Even
Miss Maud Adams dance, n the postal, didn't
go as well as might have been expected.
In time the cardmakers awoke; they real
lied what the public wanted. So, with formi-
dabIe courage they tackled the modest actresses
and demure actors-whose aversion to publicity
is so wen known-and pleaded pitifully that
they deign to consent to new sittings.
Long effort won the day, and now, all the
stalls of London, you may find excellent like

Dynamic of Rain Making.

~ @-S
The desperate e%xpedient of rain max
ing experiments has lately been put
to the proof at Oamaru, in New Zea-
land. Ehe method employed was that
Of decorating large quantities of ex-
plosives on the tops OF hills. AS tho
rain making" took place at about the
same time that a break up of the
drought was imminent, and as human
nature inclines to a belief In the won
ders' of science, 1t was widely reported
that in some instances the explosions
had brought the rain down. Fortunate
ly the whole OF. the experiments were
carefully recorded and supervised by
o trained meteorological, who gives an
| unprecedented account of them In Sy-
mons Meteorological Magazine. Rev.
d. C. Bates. the observer in question,
arrives at the conclusion, with which
facts will disagree, that h explosions
Of ~guncotton, dynamite, and gunpow-
der. though of considerable force, had
nothing to DO with evoking the rain
and that h energy these artificial ex-
| pedients developed was puny in com
! parison with h great natural forces
which We're producing a cyclone over
thousands of qua miles when the
rain fell. In some general observations
onsthe experiments Mr.. Bates remarks
that the explosions had apparently no
more effect on the vast OF air
than would the striking of a match in
q room, The forces arrayed against
artificial changes in the atmosphere are
tremendous, and almost beyond concep-
! ton. About a thousand units of heat
are needed to transform q pound of
water to vapor. When yapoT Is re-
transformed into water latent neat is
liberated to a corresponding amount.
Now an inch OF rain corresponds to
! about $1,000 tons to the square mile.
The heat developed or released, there
fore, under such conditions OF conden-
sation from vapor to water would con-
s%equenrly demand an equivalent In
{ work equal to a hundred milton horse
power working for half an hour. The
force OF the mightiest explosion with
all its gas put forth into the air is in
comparison less than a drop in a buck
ct. Rain making, in short, like fog
dispersal. demands far greater forces
than any nan Is yet able to direct,
produce or control.

GOVERNOR GEORGE CURRY
GETS QUITE WRATH>


GOVERNOR GEORGE CURRY
GETS QUITE WRATHY.
From Wichita Eagle.
Governor George Curry of New
Mexico is authority for the statement
hat both his territory and Arizona
will be authorized to enter the Union
as states by this session of congress.
He says that If such action Is not TAX
en- he will never again vote a Repub-
lican ticket or hold Office under the
party.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
two territories viii be admitted into
the Union as states, for better reas-
ons than the ear of losing the patty
honor of the governors vote and ser
vices. Both are entitled to the digni-
ty they seek because they are big and
strong and intelligent enough to be-
come independent states and take care
of themselves. This especially true in
the case of New Mexico, which has
made such remarkable progress dur.
ing the past few years in all those
lines of effort that gave prominence
to the most ambitious of the states.
