charm of Miss Barrymore can scarcely
fail to assert itself, but something more
than this is needed In Shakcspearean

Miss Barrymore to play Rosalind. and

thinks he is getting more than his

opera, "Sternengebot," DR.. Batka says:
1T did not win decisive success here.
For that the libretto is to blame pri-
marily. The author aimed at too
much and therefore gets nowhere.
There are so many poetic motives, all
of which remain germs, none being
fully developed. that the nearer can
not get clear idea as to what il is
all about, even with the libretto in
hand. a good operate plot should be so
constructed that 1t is Ineligible even

While his thoughts are not always
original they are sincere, distinguished,
and sane; his music sounds we'll, is
often surprisingly emotional and al

Answer to Or. William Smiths Article on
Primitive Man and Other Points
Raised in Discussion.

In the BLADE OF October IL DR.. VIM.
Smith, under the article, Who Knew Prim
tive Mann insists that matter is the foo.
bali of the gods.
He is consistent enough to claim it al
ways Is and not that /, only now and then
is, as is claimed by his more orthodox
brethren. Matter is impotent, he claims,
and acts only as acted upon by forces not
its own. When | see the wonderful and
complicated forces in mater, and whole
worlds OF it, too, and how instantly they
circumstances, and do SO for ages; never
having to take moments reflection; never
stopping an ms ant for orders from any OF
the great train dispatchers OF the sky, 1t
suggests TO my mind that the gods must
be tired and surely need rest. One OF
these gods had to rest after he had labored
six days, l am told, but, perhaps, he was
young and inexperienced-not well broke
to work. propose to put the gods to sleep;
at least to have them withdraw all their
forces from just little bit Of matter for
the sake of an experiment. And If l can't
quiet their nerves by the use OF opiates,
will retire them in imagination. AS l said
only a bit of matter will suffice, say brick
2x4x6. 1t ma tiers not whether t originally
were brick of carbon, oxygen, sulphur
iron or many elements combined for when
the gods withdraw their forces 1t will be all
the same. Its particles will then have no
chemical affinity, for that acton, my
'Sriend says, belongs to the gods and Is for
efsa to it; only appears to belong to it.
By the way, If the gods would just with
draw their chemical affinity of iron for
oxygen our implements would never rust
and might last forever. / make this as
suggestion. possibly the remark may be
construed as sacreligious. But to continue
by dreams. You and / wan; to find out
just what matter will be when all its forces
are obliterated; what ashes will remain
after 1t is SO burnt out. Not only will my
brick have lost all its chemical affinity
between its own molecules, or even it's
own atoms, but also between them and any
thing outside. It will no longer be a gen.
orator of magnets ism or electricity. 1t will
have lost its attraction of gravitation and
will, therefore, weigh nothing 1t will also
have lost all its heat as heat is a force.
and 1t will. therefore. have no temperature.
1t Will have lost its adhesion and its par
ticles win no longer be held together. 1t

DEVILS
Dreams generally are meaningless, but
this one has moral: 1t teaches US that
Force and Matter are and elernally have
been interdependent; that they belong to
each other, and to annihilate one is to ami
hilate both. They were always married,
and never had any courtship or generation.
Had it been possible for one 10 exist with
out the other it would be SO still and for
ever.
NOW, II the above conclusions are cor
rect then the bunder Oh prolopiasm, even
toe least and original mite OF pro.oplasm
resided right in matter itself: just as surely
as that the cause OF snot or other globes,
arranging themselves SO tina. each one will

er OF the beautiful crystals that so fan as.

The doctor admits that force appears to
reside in or be an attribute of matter. We
freely grant that things are not always
What they appear to be, yet in the majority
of cases they are; and man would not have
progressed as he has had they not been.
BY accepting things as they appear to him
has he slowly MADE progress. Then a good
rule is to accept things just as they appear
to be unless We can give good reason for
doing otherwise. So my friends is on the
doubtful side of the question. The burden
of proof bears heavily on his shoulders.
But just the place where reason is the most
wanted there we are asked to abandon rea.
son and accept on faith. When we are asked
to accept goa not composed of matter who
can think without a brain. we in return ask
to give us just one single example in this
wide universe of anything thinking without
brain or matter of some kind.
Touching evolution. No one pretends to
have seen primitive man alive. and he was
too ignorant or animal-like to write history
The evidence Tor evolution lays in other
fields too extensive to be presented here In
full. Would suggest that the doctor and
others read the latest works ON the subject.
Suffice 1t to say here. the earliest history
we have points to a mere primitive stage
of man. His remains and the remains of his
rude instruments indicate the same. The
rudimentary organs in man tell the same
story. The history of the degradation of
organs into rudiments as evinced In the

Only a Dream About Force and Matter

force and so It's particles WILL not ny apart
1t can no longer give or retect light and SO
cannot be seen. Having lost all its chem
ical powers 1t cannot be discerned by the
sense OF Taste. And for similar reasons It
cannot be smeled felt or heard. Having
lost its inertia, momentum and motion OF
ali kinds, it would have no power to resist
any other bodies which are not thus aban-
doned by the gods. Should they run mo it
they would simply pass through it without
noticing it., or it noticing Them
What would remain of matter af.er AL
its forces have departed? Do you say it
would still have volume? SO has space.
The same would reamin as did of the Ne
gro boys watermelon. He was enjoying a
monopoly in the way of a melon while his
comrades were wishfully looking on and
begging him for the rinds when he was
thorugh with them. Bul he uifeelingly re-
piled: "Ther amt goin' to be no rinds left"
So il all the various forces OF matter could
be withdrawn from it there would be no
matter left.
And again we dreamed yet another
dream. The gods withdrew all their forces
from all the matter of the universe in a
aforementioned; and all material things
were thus turned into nothing. But, thank
goodness, the gods were all alive and safe
yet, or it SO appeared, and had our dreams
ended there it would have been, so far as
the gods are concerned, all of comedy; but
not So In the end all was tragedy for one
by one we saw the corpses of the gods laid
aside the graves of their predecessors. AL
though it was a world of gods and oceans
of force, yet as silent and lifeless as the
grave. There was an infinite amount of
force, but nothing to force an infinite
amount of moving. but nothing to move; an
infinite amount of thinking, but nothing
thought-nothing to think about-no brain
to think with. In spite of my apathy for
the gods, was even brought to tears on
account of their condition. They were as
persons cast out on an ocean of water yet
dying Of thirst. Or more like parties cast
upon an island and desiring to cut down
are in possession of all the sharpness in
the whole world, but cannot use a bit of
that sharpness in cutting the trees for the
want of an ak with which to apply It..
There was no light of sun, moon or stars;
no summer breezes or songs of birds. The
gods. like Sampson Of old. to show their
power. had turned themselves, as we'll as
the universe. into nothing. SO to remain
forever. for out of nothing nothing comes.
