THE NATIONAL
"The Bohemian GIRL

The season OF summer opera at the Ma
tiOnal Theater by the Aborn Company
comes 70 a close this week with Balfe's
ever-popUlar opera, THE Bohemian Girl"
large audience being present last night
at the first production. This opera has
become an expected feature OF each recur-
ring seasons list, and this time the per-
formance Is even better than heretofore.
Since the time OF It's first appearance
this musical production, THE Bohemian
Girl. has been popular. its popularity
running with undated favor through sew

tinue to please several generations more:

markRble tunefulness OF the music and
the beauty Of the sentiment II nearly
verges on grand opera, and some rnusi-
clans have not hesitated to call II so.
but it would probably be more fitting TO
designate IL as an opera OF ballads. At
any rate. its place IN the lead OF its class
is undisputed The GYPSY Chorus.
THE Heart Bowed Down" You'll Re-

BOstOn women Like Outdoor Sport.

Boston Women Like Outdoor Sports.
From the Seattle Times,
One used to hear a great deal about
the dowdiness Of Boston girls, and their
utter superiority TO fashions, but as a
matter OF fact they are among the best
turned out OF any in America They hold
themselves admirably. for one thing, and
while. BY comparison to New York street
modes. they dress simply, still It is IN the
best OF form. Their tailor gowns are ell
ways we'll built and we'll put together.
A Boston girls street footgear Is far
more apt to be good than that OF a New
Yorker, for the former wears shoes that
accord with her tailor made, and keeps
them well while slightly turned high
heel, not unknown in New York, will de-
stroy all smartness Of a costume. But
besides all this. Boston girls have a fresh
ness Of style, as we'll as complexion. that
goes a long way toward making them
look well
there being so short that 70 walk across
the public garden 70 the shops, and home
again, is nothing at all They go IN
more for outdoor sports than the ma
jOrity OF girls IN other cities. and, added
10 that, the blue blood OF old England
that has filtered down 70 them through
generations Of scholars and students, who
preferred books while their contempo-
raries in other parts OF the country chose
emigration and gathering fortunes, makes
q type that is unmfstakable wherever It
Is seen.

IMPORTED PLANTS THRIVE.
The Department of Agriculture is
Much Encouraged.

Washington, Aug. 19.-During the
past year the Department of Agricul-
ture has brought into the United
States over 1000 carefully selected
plants from various countries in diff :
ferent parts of the world, with a view
to diversifying the products of the
soil in this country.
Especial regard has been paid to
the introduction of plants that will
grow in sections in which either the
drought or the severe cold has made
it nearly impossible to obtain crops
of any kind. These plants have been
placed in the hands Of private ex-
perimenters and official plant breed
ers. The results thus far obtained
in dOmesticating them has been very
encouraging.
Some of the most important of the
plants have been gathered from arid
portions Of China. and it is believed
they can be adapted to the dry
States of the Southwest. Among
these is Chinese date palm that re-
sists drought and produces valuable
fruit. New seedless persimmons have
been brought here, pears, apricots
and cherries of especial value being
among other importations.
A new clover from the Himalaya
Mountains can be grown in the hot
test portions of the Southwest. Bam-
boo from the Orient has been planted
in the Gulf States, and it is be-
lieved its cultivation will prove sue
cessful. Tropical plants, hitherto
unknown to the soil of the United
States, are being domesticated in the
South.
Officials Of the department declare
that only the imagination can forsee
what will be the result Of this policy
Of the introduction Of adaptable
plants from every quarter of the
globe.

Second Thought.

A we'll known Brookly physician
was examining a class of nurses who
had served their appointed time in
the hospital. The candidates fled
past him, and to each he addressed a
question calculated to show the nur-
se's efficiency. In one of the questions
he described the condition of a patti
ent and asked the nurse how
much morphoine in her opinion,
should be administered to the sufferer.
Eight grains" promptly replied
the nurse.
The doctor made no comment, and
she passed. on. When her turn came
again she appeared greatly confused.
and said to the examiner: Doctor, I
wish to correct the answer i made last
time. / meant to say that one-eighth
Of a grain should be given to the pa
patient"

ness She gave a sniff OF contempt

herself "for the love of man." aad
shifted so hard that the sniff went
in and effected her vital organs. The
woman is married, has seven chill
dren, works like a farm hand in har-
vest though her husband is in good
circumstances, and hasn't had an
outing in ten years. Doctors say
that this shifting in contempt is apt
to prove serious when woman
shifts so hard as this woman shifted.
She put in that sniff all the disap-
pontment, all the contempt, all the
heartache of fifteen years, and the
sniff simply shattered her whole
system. and displaced half her inte-
riOr.

ACROSS THE OCEAN
Channel Experiment Revives Specu-

New York Tribune.
fresh experiment is. to be made
with a method Of promoting subma-
rine telephony devised several wears
ago by Prof NJ. I. Pupin, of Columbia
University. 1t consists of the intro
duction, at carefully computed inter-
walls, in a cable of what electricians
call choking coils" These increase
the distance at which speech can be
made audible not by magnifying the
sound but by lessening the rapidity
with which electric vibrations die out.
According to the London Times the
British government-dOubtle in CO.
operation with that of France-has
decided to lay a cable prepared in
this manner across the English chan
mel. AS it will connect land lines at
Dover and Calais, it is expected to fa-
cilitate telephone communication be-
tween London and Paris. Though
use of Prof. Pupin's invention has
been made in the United States to
enhance the efficiency of the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone company's over
land wires, it has thus far had only
one trial under water-on tele.
phone cable which crosses Lake Con-
stance from Switzerland to Ger
many AS for some reason the
pioneer experiment has not proved
entirely satisfactory, the outcome of
the second trial under. water will
be awaited with exceptional inter-
est.
If in this instance the system
should work perfectly it is not un-
likely that there would be a fresh
discussion of the feasibility OF trans
atlantic telephony. 1t has repeatedly
been pointed out that even if all the
technical difficulties in the way of
such an enterprise should be over
come it might not prove commercial
ly successful. The hours during
which telephone line between New
York and London would be patron
lied would be limited, and the cable
! devoted to such service would cost
much more than one for telegraphy
alone. 1t is to be remembered, how
ever that cable equipped with
choking coils" could be employed
Tor telegraphy as well as telephony
1t would not necessarily lie idle
therefore, when Il was not used To-
conversation. Indeed, experts sa,
that it would be better than any 9th
er telegraph cable of the sam,
length.
