Carpenter takes the place > of one.
With Carpenter it has become a sci.
ence.
Perhaps the role of critic may de-
tract from his own amusement for
when he visits a performance Mr..
Carpenter looks at it entirely through
the eyes Of his chief. How would
the president enjoy this?' is his view
point-and from that viewpoint he
rules. Fearing that he might mis-
take, having recommended a certain
play to the president, he attends a
second time, this time not to watch
the play, but it's effect on the presi-
dent. If it is what it should be, Car
penter heaves a sigh of contentment
and departs for home.
All of which makes Carpenter a
man greatly courted by the theatrical
managers. They send him invitations,
for himself and Mrs. Carpenter. And,
although there is no Mrs. Carpenter,
the secretary having avoided the
rocks of matrimony, these invitations
are usually accepted. There is no
halfway efforts on the part of the
company when Carpenter attends.
That's when they put themselves to
their prettiest PAGES.

The Army and Navy Journal states
that a new explosive recently invented
is of such light weight as to be par.
t~icularly adapted to aerial apparatus,
and. together with the soundless gun
and smokeless powder, a combination
could be made which would be a most
subtle weapon of warfare. The
Krupps have established a special de.
partment for the construction of guns
to fire against aerial craft and pro-
j~ectiles to emit showers of sparks and
exploding shells. An ordinary pro.
jectile would merely pass through the
envelope, but the burning ~projectile
would set fire to the gas. The Krupp
gun is so arranged that its wheels
may be swung around at right angles,
so they will turn in a circle on which
the spade of the gun is the center,
thus enabling the weapon to be
brought to bear in any direction
quickly on a moving object.
