New York. Dec. 5.-A new star has
been made IN a new play by "a new play
wright. and Now York is today engaged
in taking a lot of credit to Itself for
the discovery. The actor whose work is
thus recognized Is q young fellow
named Charles Waldron, a son OF Geo.
Waldron of early day Salt Lake thea
tricals Very few theater goers were
familiar with his name a few weeks
ago Today everybody is talking about
him. There are lfe-size pictures OF
him in front of Wallacks theater-the
largest reproductions of photographs
ever made; the New York newspa-
pcrs are sending around to interview"
him. and Lleblcr & Company have
agreed TO star him in new play by
Hall Caine, the manuscript of which
has Just been received from the Shake
speare OF The Isle of Man
A"Goddess of Liberty company will be
seen here on December 23 Mt Wcber's
Broadway thcater; May de Sousa will
have the title part created by Sallie
Fisher at the Princess theater In CHI
cago. The piece is making such de-
cided hit In Chicago, that it was de-
clded TO put on another company here
with another prima donna. as Miss
Fisher is under contract to the Chca-
go managers until Next May; so as
there was no hope of Broadway seeing
the original production, a new company |
Is formed here to give the charming |
musical comedy a Broadway tryout 1t |
is regrettable that Miss Fisher will not
be seen on Broadway. but contracts
are contracts.

Increased activity Of the sun-as
shown by the spots on the surface-is
found by Sir Oliver Lodge to have a
probable limited influence on rainfall,
He points out, however that the total
rainfall all over the earth during a
long period cannot exceed what the
sun can eyaporate In about the same
period. and therefore depends more on
the suns total activity than on any
momcntary outburst of energy. Where
rain shall fall depends chiefly on local
conditions. A month of more than
usual rain may result from brief special
activity, but the Increase will be in the
customary localities, without change In
distribution.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Among IT, .crs In the influence
of atmosphe .lectricity on vegeta-
ton Is Prof Lemstroem, OF the Uni
yersIty of Helsingfors, Finland. He
nnds that plants in the polar regions
escaping night frosts have a much
more rapid and luxurlant growth than
those In warmer climates, and that,
despite primitive cultivation with
wooden plows and hnrrows. great crops
are yielded by rye. barley and oats.
The rapid growth is usually attributed
to the continuous daylight of two or
three summer months. This explana-
ton is unsatisfactory, and il has been
proven that, even in these months, the
aggregate of heat and light is less than
at 60 degrees OF latitude or farther
south. Various facts have convinced
Prof. Lemstroem that arctic vegetation
is stimulated by the electrical currents
80 often manifested in the aurora
borealis-that flow between the earth
and the atmosphere in the north In
the annual rings of oonifers he has
found variations showing extra growth
in years and latitudes OF great electri-
cal activity. and in experiments with
Holtz electrical machine he has
fastened the growth of barley. wheat
and rye by an artiflcially charged at
mosphere. The theory suggests an ex-
planation of the pointed leaves of con-
ifers and barbed ears of grain. which
conduct the electric currents to these
plants.

In speech, which was long and
bitter. Webb subjected Ackerman
and +. W. Lake, a land attorney, of
Alameda, and author OF the Lake bill,
who was present, to a most unmerci-
full grilling. He branded them land
thieves, and defied them to deny his
accusations. He brought the names
of Hyde and Benson to the fore, aud
told at length OF the "nefarious OPP
erations" of the land grabbing ring,
of which, he said, they were the lead
ers.
Both Surveyor-General Kingsbury
and Attorney General Webb took
hand in the fight in the committee.
So heated did the discussion be-
come that at one time a fistic on
counter between Webb and Ackermau
appeared imminent.
The verbal drubbing given Lake
and Ackerman by Webb was highly
humiliating to the former. The at
torney-general did not mince his

country. and by comparison showed that
only one agricultural college in the coun-
try had furnished for the service of the
government larger list of scientific men.

members of the society enlivened the
after-dinner period with "reminiscences of

Street sweepers in the vicinity of Lin

minutes must elapse before the atmos

son to see across the park. according to
a letter written to the District Commits
sioners by DR.. ii. A. Dobson Of lis 18th
street northeast.
The streets are either not sprinked a
all or so slightly as scarcely to be no
ticed,' wrote DR.. Dobson. The sweep
er is driven on fast walk. sometimes
on trot. and the cloud of dust raised
by the machine fills the air. settles thick
ly Oh steps, fences. window stills. door
stills and on the garments of the passer

north on 18th street in front of Lincoln
Park. | could not see that the street
had been sprinkled. The horses trotted
and the cloud OF dust that swept over
the park was so thick that it was five
minutes by the watch before houses
across the park could be distinguished.

it is nuisance and menace to health"
James NJ. Wood, superintendent of
