WHAT THE RADIATOR SINGS.

What Is the song that the radiator sings:
Is 1t melody from thrObbinS reeds OF
Pan?
A sweet song Of summer shine and all
the tabled things
That sport upon Arcadian meadows
never seen by man?
Or chill falls cicada notes a-rettling from
ragged throats?
What Is the song that the radiator sings?
Is 1t che rumbling Of humble bees that
boom?
A spiashirg brooklet washing through the
clover land that filings
Its sparkling spray in splendor on the
morning glory'S bloom,
Or anvil chimes at Nulcan's forge and
tempests in a mountain gorge?

sAGlNAW's MUNICIPAL THEATER
From Col1ier'S

Saginaw, Mich. has a municipal the
alter. While other cities We're dreaming
of such a thing Saginaw was building
one. Two Saginaw citizens, w. r. Burt
and T. E. Dorr, ascertaining that the
city would accept such a gift, In
structed the architect to go ahead and
devise the best that could be obtained.
1t vas planned for a theater, and as
such was built and opened. The build
ing was formally opened with a con-
cert by the combined forces of
Madame Gadski and Walter Damrosch.
Six thousand persons paid their way
into the building. Its stage Is ample
to accommodate any production on
tour. 1t has played independent shows,
and has been the mean Of introducing
plays to Saginaw which else 1t would
have been denied. During the first
year of its existence as a municipal
playhouse 1t was occupied over so
times by performances, and has been
shown to be self-supporting. After the
building came from the donors, who
paid rs per cent of the cost, the city
paying the other fourth, it became
strictly municipal property, and is gov
erned solely by a board OF trustees,
composed Of three members appointed
by the common council. An ordinance
regulates the rental for the several
classes Of entertainments, and also
stipulates that the price charged for
gallery se-ts shall not, for n Of
fering, be more than 25 cents.

Escape from sunken Submarines.
From Casters Magazine.

IL FROM SdSSleF 3 MdSaZlIlo.
A plan which has been adopted includes
the use of air-traps arranged along each
side of the submarine, and the hope of
their successful action is quite justified in
case of a leak in the lower part OF the
vessel, in which case the water enters the
vessel and congresses the air in the upper
part until the pressure inside is equal to
that outside, when it would be possible
to open the hatch Of the coming tower
and thereby allow the water to rush in
and fill all except the air traps. The
life-saving dresses are kept in these air
trapped passages, SO that the men have
in almost all cases sufficient time to re-
tire to these traps and then don the dress.
and after the hatch has been opened by
one or two of the men so equipped the
rest will, one by one, find their way to
the exit -hen the ~buoyency OF the reI-
met will quickly bring them to the sur
face. Strict discipline and absolute adj
herence to a system thoroughly prae-
ticed beforehand is the only hope Of sue
cess, as all operations will probably have
to be conducted in the dark and as COM
munieation by word Of mouth would b
impossible.

when the innocent player. joyous at
