HOLIDAY THRONGS
AT OPERA HOUSE
Immense Crowds Enjoy La
Dor Day VaudeviII. PeTfOr-
nance at Grand

II took at least twenty minutes for
tho audience that witnessed the first
performance at the Grand Opera
House last night to reach the street,
so great was the throng Of holiday
theatre-goers. waiting to get inside.
Manager Cool and a corps Of special
officers had their hands full handling
the crowd that surgeG in the lobby and
overhowed into the street.
There was a time. only a few years
back when Labor Day was the set date
for throwing open the doors of the
show houses after the summer vaca-
tion. Now the first week IN Septem-
Der generally finds the theatrical pro-
cession well under way. This is the
case at the Grand Opera House. and
with a full week behind it, the man
meter, and the bills offered seem to
improve as each new one is presented.
Leader Mallett and his orchestra are
playing themselves into public favor
and contributing their share to the
enjoyable programmes. The motion
pictures opened the bill and continue
to live up to the high standard set last
week.
The Sterlings, an ingenue and child
actor, pleased. The youngster is a
fairly good example Of the infant
prodigy class and his work is clever
He should not try to sing, however,
as his voice is either too weak or has
been overworked. There is plenty
else i'm the act Of this precocious young
actor 70 make him entertaining. In
an act of this sort the young man is
of course the attraction but the young
woman played down TO him admir-
ably.
John thinner. who calls himself the
Somewhat different juggler, really is,
and handed out some clever stunts
that required quick eye and hand.
His nervousness at the start marred
his act but he finished strong.
With a conglomeration of comedy.
con and concert, the Rogers trio. talk
ed, danced and sang themselves into
favor. Their act brought out one Of
the new interior sets which do credit
to the management.
If the amount Of applause, and the
number Of recalls is to be taken as a
criterion. then Black Faced Joe Lanni-
gan was the hit of the bill. When he
sang Did He Rum" the house roared.
In costumes that were a riot of
color, the Peskoff Troupe Of ten Rus
sian Dancers, sang the folk songs of
Russia, and went through a dance
that was a marvel in action and rapid
movement Considering the hard worl,
put into this act it deserved the ap-
probation IL received.
II would be hard to beat the bill of
last night and the holiday crowd that
viewed it were we'll pleased. The
! present programme win continue matt
nee at 2.S0 and evening at 7.S0 and 9.0C
until Thursday.

Sell Less Wheat Abroad.

The calendar year 1909 will show a
smaller expectation of wheat than any
year in the last decade, and an in
creased home consumption, both in
amount and per capita average, says
a report of the Bureau of Statistics on
wheat production, expectation and con-
sumption of the United States.
The continued decline in exports Of
breadstuffs lends interest to the state.
ment. The expectation of wheat for
the nine months ending with Septem-
Der amounted to only 27,76S,90l bush
els, against 6S,17S,935 bushels in the
same month of 1908; -four exports were
6,2SS,2S3 barrels, against 9,42S,347.
This reduction in exports of wheat
seems to be due to increased consump-
ton at home rather than at any de-
cline in production. The average an
hual production for the last five years
has exceeded any earlier fve-year

Glass Walls for Fruit Trees.

An interesting experiment in fruit
growing has been recently carried out
by the Count de Choiseul and de-
scribed in Cosmos. When a south wall
Is used for fruit trees the north side
of the wall is practically wasted as far
rs fruit is concerned. Count de
Choiseul has used a glass wall, and
grown fruit trees on both sides. The
produce on the north side is little in
ferior to that on the south. A photo
graph shows heavily fruited pear trees
on both sides of the wall. The wall
so feet long and 612 feet high, had fif
teen pear trees planted on each side
In 1907 1874 pears, weighing 81 pounds,
were gathered on the south side of the
wall, and 100, weighing II pounds, on
the north side The variety grown
was the Doyenne LHiver.

Stable Ventilation,

Some years ago Prof r. II. King,
study of the effect of ample and de-
ficient ventilation upon twenty milch
COWS. The experiment was made in
a reimbursement stable, represented in
accompanying figure, having three out
side doors, thirteen large windows and
a door leading by stairway to the
floor above. The ceiling was nine feet
above the floor and the stable con-
tanned go cubic feet of space per cow.
Leading upward from the ceiling were
two hay chutes two by three feet in
cross sections, twenty feet high, which
could be opened or closed at will, and
a ventilattng shaft terminating near
the ridge Of the roof inside.
During the trial the COWS we're kept
continuously in the stable with the
hay chutes closed during two days and
then with them open two days, the
trials being repeated four times Fol
lowing these four trials the hay chutes
were left closed during three consecu-
tive days for poor ventilation and left
open the following three making four
teen days in all.
1t was found that me7surably the
same amount Of feed was eaten under
both conditions of ventilation But
during the days of insufficient ven
tilation the cows drank, on the aver
age H. pounds more water each
day and yet lost in weight an aver
