scenes show Germany converted
through the efforts of Walburga. who
gave up the throne to enter the con-
vent and her peaceful death.

The farce was succeeded in about two
months by a revival of GAS You Like

THEATRICAL NEWS

TT is now four seasons since Francis
Wilson gave up comic opera for
u the more legitimate field of
straight comedy. His success has been
even greater than it was in the mu-
sical field, for Charles Frohman has
been most fortunate in his selection of
plays for the popular star. Mr.. Will
sons offering this season is a. comedy
by Charles Marlowe which is called
"When knights Were Bold" the play
being a satire upon the subject of an
a young Englishman, Sir Guy De
We're, who in a dream is taken back
to the good old days." seven hundred
odd years before he was born.
Clarence Handysides portrays an
ancestor loving vicar in the comedy.
In one of the scenes he says, I'm the
course of my archaeological studies [
have traced our family as far back
as a certain Peter the Monk, who lived
and houriShed in the twelfth century,"
To which Mr.. Wilson in the character
of Sir Guy De We're retorts
Peter the Monk? My dear dean,
I wouldn't say too much about your
family. What | mean is, that IL your
ancestor was a monk-well. monk
a monk ought not to have a family,
now had he? Mind, I'm not blaming
him."
The setting of the first act is a
beautiful tapestried- d-hung room in an
old English castle. The prevailing
tones are dull reds. On one side Is
the enormous side place with it's stand
of arms and about the room is the
armor of the heros ancestors. The
furniture is antique and altogether the
setting is delightfully."- artistic.
A feature of the production which
Mr.. Wilson brings to the Mason next
week is the singing of twelfth CEN
tury welcome song by the large chorus
he carries. The comedy has proved
to be the greatest success the popular
comedian has had in years.

Black SpIOtches All Over Face -

Alabama Lady's
CURE BY THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES

~About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and few covering my body, which
produced severe itching irritation, and
which caused me great deal of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
was forced to call in two of the leading
physicians IF my town. After a thor
ough examination of the dreaded com.
plant they announced it to be skin
eczema in its worst form. They treated
me for the same for the length of one
year, but the treatment did me no good.
Finally ! became desponacnt and
decided to discontinue their services.
Shortly afterwards, my husband in read
ing copy of weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. He purchased the en-
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
In connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. l continued the use of the
Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. / have not felt symp-
tom of the eczema since, which was thres
years ago.
The Cuticura Remedies not only
cured me of that dreadful disease,
eczema, but other complicated troubles
as well; and have been the means of
others being cured of the same disease
by the Cuticura Remedies, and ! don't

THE CREOSOTING OF WOOD.
Data As To The Amount of The Oil
Required For Railroad Ties.

Ever since 1857 the process of
wood preserving by creosoting has
been in use. J. c. Williams, of
the Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany, is authority for the follow
ing information on the subject.
Railroad and construction en-
gineers are almost unanimous in
the opinion that creosoting is a
scientifically correct and a praCti-
cally successful way of preserving
timber from decay and the ravages
of the toredo, Mr.. Williams saws:
The standard quantity of oil in
jeCted in this altitude (Maurer, n.
- is twelve pounds to the cubic
foot, or about Ia gallons. For
sound and square edge yellow pine
ties we use ten pounds a cubic
foot. On account of the heavy
treatment, up to twenty-four
pounds a cubic foot, used for
marine work in tropical and semi
tropical climates, the average
quantity of oil injected through
out this country is 1873 pounds a
cubic foot. Never having at
tempted complete saturation of any
timber, we have 70 data as to the
maximum oil each class of timber
will take. The writer once in
speCted the treatment of a cylinder
of shortleaf pine boards II. by AZ
inches, which absorbed thirty
pounds during the process of fill
ing the cylinder, and consequent
ly without pressure. This was an
exceptional case, and was due to
the wood being air dry and then
being steamed and subjected to
vacuum, the work having been
done under specification which
called for the artificial seasoning
and making no provision for the
treatment of air dry material.
The best practice now is not to
use steam or vacuum if the lumber
is air dry.
Creosote oil and zinc chloride
are the two most successful preser-
vatives of the two hundred or
more which have been tried.

Electricity as an Aid to Memory.

stating that, as with the other
tissues of the body, 50 with the
cells Of the brain, evidence of
lessening power and activity ap-

he added the very interesting
statement that the line of present

COAlING SHIP BY HAND LABOR.
Remarkable Work Done by Japanese
Without Aid of Machinery.

Through lack of machinery and
because of the cheapness of labor
ships are loaded at Nagasaki,
Japan, by hand. Run of mine
coal IS put into the ships bunkers
for SO. SO ton. Labor costs s.. so
cents SHIFT of from eight to thir-
teen hours. 7. S. Reilly, in The
Railway and Engineering 9 Re-
vlew,' says that on an average
there are three ladder gangs to
each chute, and, when in haste,
each ladder is supplied with a
double line of "lifters," as the
men and women on each ladder
are called.
On the lighter at the foot of the
ladder there are nearly always
from five to ten men and women
loading the coal into baskets and
passing them up to the ladder
gangs. The baskets hold about
twenty-five pounds of coal each
and each basket is thrown down
into the lighter as fast as emptied.
This provides each unit gang with
from twenty to twenty-five men
and women-the line being short
ened or extended by the addition
or subtraction of individuals, as
may from time to time be re-
quisite. The feasibility is OBJ
viously most advantageous.
Mr.. Reilly says two thousand
tons have been put into the bunk
ers OF a steamer in eight hours,
and the record is twelve hundred
tons into another steamer in three
hours. AS this means from 25o to
400 tons an hour, the machine-like
operation can be readily conceived.
In the two thousand ton case, six
chutes Of three gangs of twenty
five individuals make $50 people.
So the cost of handling is only
, about cents a ton.

SCHOOL BOOK REFORM.
Fault Found With Long Lines Of
Type and Shiny Paper.

An association made up Of wo-
men principals Of schools in this
city has undertaken to seek the
correction of certain evils which
they believe are hurtful to chill
dren's eyes, One IS the length of
the lines of type in some school
books. Unless the lines are we'll
separated "leaded," as a printe
would say-a person experiences
difficulty intending the beginning
OF a fresh line after finishing the
one before. The trouble is bad
enough with adults, but it is even
more embarrassing with the
young. The other evil is the use
OF highly glazed paper in illus
tratedt books. a shiny surface is
considered necessary by publishers
when they use halftone reproduc-
tions of photographs, for such a
finish on the paper makes the
picture stand out better than it
would otherwise. The light re-
Elected from the surface, however,
is considered injurious to sensitive
eyes.
For the first of these troubles
there is apparently no good ex-
cuse, except possibly economy in
typesetting. Hence, the mere
discussion Of the subject may lead
to the desired reform-a shorten
ing of the lines. To secure a re-
form in the second instance may
not be easy. A we'll known medi-
cal periodical recommends re-
turn to the old fashioned wood en-
craving for purposes of illustra-
ton. Such pictures would be
very artistic, and might possibly
make the use of unglazed paper
feasible, but the cost of the wood
engraving is greater than that of
the halftone. The engraving in
dustry has now practically disap-
peared.

Greenland's Ice Cap.

The largest mass Of ice in the
world fills up nearly the whole of
the interior of Greenland. 1t is
one and a half miles thick. This
ice has accumulated since before
the dawn Of history. 1t is believ-
ed to form a block 500, 600 miles
in area. According to these sta
tistics, this lump of ice is larger
in volume than the whole body of
water in the Mediterranean.
