During Hans Won Bulow's leader
ship Of the orchestra at Hanover u
tenor Of fame was engaged to play a
star role in .Lohengrin," and while
the singer was rehearsing his part Blu
low was forced TO go over the same
bars a number of times without the
new actor beginning to sing. Tired OF
his wasted efforts. the leader stopped
the orchestra and angrily turned to
the singer.
Il know that tenor is proverbially
stupid" he said, but you seem to
make an extensive use of this unwrit-
ten law"
At another time, while one Of his
grand intermezzos was being played
with great feeling by his musicians, a
peculiar noise. hardly perceptible by
unframed ears, annoyed the leader for
some little time. At first he thought
it resembled the flutter of wings. but
soon he discovered an elegant lady
tanning herself In one Of the boxes
close by. Bulow kept on with his ges-
lures, fixing his eyes on the offender
in manner which meant reproOf. The
lady. not needing this, was suddenly
surprised by the leader dropping his
stick and turning toward her

Fruit Crop Saved BY Telephone

Fruit raisers in the irrigated
districts Of Colorado are much
elated over the success with which
weather conditions have been met
in their orchards this spring. The
telephone has been instrumental
in fighting off three frosts, the
effects Of which would undoubtedly
have been fatal to the crops had
not extra precautions been taken.
The story of how the vigilance Of
the fruit raisers was rewarded
reveals a new and Interesting tri-
umph Of scientific agriculture.
The instances in question are re-
ported from Canon City, in the
ranch section Of Colorado. The
fruit interests here are extensive:
and the annual crop is Of great
value. It has long been the custom
to fight frost with smudge fires III
the orchards. When The temper
ature drops below freezing pointit
lis always necessary to resort to ar
stifcial means to prevent damage
Accordingly the all important
question with the fruit growers is
the weather.
The Canon City telephone ex-
change was Of great assistance to-
the ranchmen this year. Daily
weather reports were given out to
about rs fruit growers and several
hundred inquiries were received
every day from others interested
in the weather predictions. ss
On Monday. April 10Th, the BUS
mess Mems Association of Canon
City prepared a list Of 200 citizens
to assist in the work of safeguard
ing the fruit crop. The volunteers
were scattered over the various
orchards and an organized system
of protection was putin operation
Each mans telephone number was
secured, SO that he might be called
upon when needed Two watch
men were appointed, one to take
his position up on the north side of
the city and the other at the south-
|ern end. These men we,e TO keep
