VALUABLE COLUMBUS
RELIC DISCOVERED

BERLIN, March 2p.-An object
which played conspicuous part in
the discovery OF America is among
the treasures which will be unveiled
with honors on the occasion of the
opening OF the new Royal Astronomi-
cal Museum at Treptow, near Berlin,
on April 4.
II consists of a tablet with calcula-
tions of planets which Columbus used
throughout his voyage across the I'M
known seas. The tablet was compiled
by a German astronomer named Ko-
nigsberg. or, as he called himself In
accordance with the nomenclature OF
the period, Regiomontan.
Columbus found the tablet of ines
Unable value, and the Treptow mu-
scum ranks il among its most cherish
ed possessions. At night the tablet
will be kept in specially built fire
and burglar proof safe.
Andrew Carnegie is among those
who contributed to the building of the
new museum.

NEW YORK OPERA
INJURIES PARIS
DEMAND FOR SINGERS is SO
GREAT THAT THEY INCREASE
THEIR PRICES.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-The affairs
of the Paris Grand opera, which have
been bad for months, grow worse.
Public and press, singers and society
wonder what is TO become of one OF
the most imposing edifices in Europe.
Its receipts cannot maintain t and
the state has given as large subsidy
as statesmen consider warranted, par
ticularly when the Socialists are harp
ing on government profiigacy and
angrily protesting at the increasing
cost OF army and navy.
Isadore de Lara. composer OF
"Sanga" and other operas, has writ
ten an entertaining article on causes
as he sees them. os the failure ol
opera. The writer turns to history
to show that in ordinary times the
opera has never paid in Paris, and
says
First-In return for the subventior
OF 100000 francs (sleG.000j the state
imposes such onerous conditions Oh
the directors that they cannot make
both ends meet.
Second-The demand for singer;
for the two opera houses in New York
and for South America Is SO great
that singers are at premium, and
every year they increase their prices
"Third-The public becomes more
exacting and demands beautiful seen
cry and rich dresses-the remountine
OF Faust" cost NM. Brossan and Mes.
sager over $4,000.
"Fourth-The political element In
troduced into the management has 10
some extent "democratized" the opera
II is no longer a salon de luxe" a
temple de plaisir.' Society no longer
feels lat home" there.
And now we come to a very ser
ious factor in the decadence OF music
drama. The repertory of Verdi Mey-
erbeer. Halevy. Donizetti. is growing
stale. and modern composers. whose
artistic aims are perhaps higher In 4
sense than those OF the masters OF
opera 80 years ago, seem TO concen-
trate their efforts on works more suit
able to smaller theaters. They con.
slider unworthy OF them that particular
form of spectacular opera so suitable
to a stage as vast as that of the
Grand Opera"
