AVIATOR BEACH IN CLOUD OF SMOKE
 FRlGHTENS CROWD
FLAMES BELCHING FROM EN- CINE INIPERIL STRATFORDITE DURING TEST ON ICE POND.

After Stanley Y. Beach. the Strat- fordite with an irrepressible ambition to fly, had terrorized several hundred spectators at Fresh Pond yesterday by being all but turned to a cinder in the continuous explosion of gases escap- ing from his engine, he suffered a mis- hap that put his monoplane out of the flying so badly that he again gave up his aerial aspirations for the day.
 His engine became flooded with lu- bricating oil, and when he started to tune up, before he had equipped the skeleton of the machine with it's wing like fixtures, the clouds of smoke and flame led spectators to fear the rig ging had taken fire. But the machine suffered only the discoloration of it's cloth coverings and a slight scorching. Beach was not burned.
 The propeller was put on hurriedly and not securely fastened, and when the engine began to speed the key slot was stripped and the shaft raced mad ly while the propeller stood still
 Beach is still determined to fly but his repeated tribulations have led him to avoid making rash predictions as to when he will be ready for the at tempt

Edwards Davis, M. A. who appears
 at Polls Theatre next week at the
 head of the bill presenting the great
 psychological one act drama ''The Pic
 ture of Dorian Gray" is one of the
 most unique and commanding figures
 on the vaudeville stage. A few years
 back the pastor of one of the largest
 churches in Brooklyn, the city of churches, MT. Davis abandoned the profession, for it has come to be a profession, of preaching and made the stage his calling. A superb specimen of physical manhood, the possessor of
 marvellous speaking voice and won
 derful dramatic ability, a master of stage detail and a remarkable judge of what is good and powerful in the dramatic line he has assuredly uplift- ed the stage and incidentally made for himself one of the few genuine suc- l cesses of the present season in the one
 act playlet line. He will present here his own drama tization of Oscar Wildes novel "The Picture of Dorian Cray
 wonderful psychological playlet but they will see a marvel of stage setting and superb acting. MT. Davis is sup ported by Adele Blood a beautiful and statuesQue actress and one of the fore
 most stock actresses in this country
 and Templar Saxe one of the most tal- ented actors supporting star in
 vaudeville.
 This weeks highly excellent bill head
 ed by Princess Rajah is packing the theatre at each performance and per
 haps that is the highest tribute that
 could be paid to it's excellence. The
 only regret the management expresses
 is that Rajah could not be held over
 for another week but it is hoped that
 she will play a return engagement be-
 fore the season ends.
 An announcement that should and will create widespread interest locally is made by Manager PoH to the effect that Peter, the monkey who made him. self a man, will appear here shortly.
 Albeit Peter is a monkey he is one of the biggest drawing cards in vaudeville today and the most sought after at traction by managers of the leading vaudeville theatres all over the coun- try. Peter is not simply a trained an- imal rather is he the nearest approa oh to a human that the world has ever
 seen. He writes, smokes, drinks, east,
 at the best hotels, eats in the dining
 rives in town and is gradually learn ing to talk his vocabulary up to the present time being limited to Mama
 and Papa" Learned men have made Peter the subject of the most rigid in- vestigation on and the Psychological Clinic edited by Lightner Witmer of the University of Pennsylvania in it's issue of December 15 last devotes all most all of it's pages to an article on Peter monkey with a mind.'

RAISING eoURDs FOR PIPES.
Department Of Agriculture Trying TO
Interest Farmers In Industry.


Interest Farmers In Industry.
Uncle Sam is sending out a circular
TO show farmers how they can raise
gourds and make pipes for smokers at
a profit. The gourds do not grow as
rapidly as the gourds of ancient times,
but 1t is said they can be produced
In almost any part of this country
from seed that is supplied by the gov
ernment, with the directions for
planting and for making pipes.
In South Africa the gourd is called
the calabash. Beers made pipes of
the gourds for many years. but the
world took little notice until after the
Boer war, when the English began to
import them. Later the demand
spread to the United States and now
there is large market for the pipes
at SO to $12 each, according to the
circular of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
The Beers tried to monopolize the
seed of the gourd, but large supply
has been secured, and there is pros
pect that the crop will become gen.
eral II is asserted that the gourd pipes
color like meerschaum and are highly
appreciated by smokers. AS no two
gourds are exactly alike, each smok-
er has pipe of special pattern, and
as the sizes varyNso much the work OF
preparing them is done by hand in
stead of machinery.
