II passes through the Gulf OF Florida.
The Gulf Stream has a tendency to
throw all floating bodies off to the
right OF Its course, and the weed is
therefore gradually turned into the
central area. One point In substan-
tiatton Of this theory is the fact that
the ends OF all the stalks are dead.
While no shoals or hidden rocks
have been found. In fact nothing
whatever OF a dangerous nature, 1t
Is nevertheless an unpleasant sensa-
ton to have "a ship pass swiftly
through an ocean covered with herb
age resembling partially submerged
meadow. 1t requires several similar
experiences before the uneasiness
wears off, So much has been sur
missed in connection with the Sargasso
Sea that to divide the truth from the
untruth Is a difficult matter. One
of the most prevalent of the untruth-
full ideas regarding this phenomenon
Is that ships are unable to make their
way through its expanse, and that to
attempt 1t will result in their being
caught and carried to the center, from
which there is no escape. Scientists
discredit this story absolutely. and
from Columbus journal 1t Is not APP
parent that he had any difficulty In
Various scientists have attempted
to define the exact area OF the Sar-
gasso Sea In 1866 M. Leps. a French
man. made maps In which that re-
gion was charted definitely, and 1t is
claimed that all the maps made in
the last forty years have been based
on these. As a result of his observa-
tions. Mr.. Findley. an English writer,
who IL considered an authority on
the subject claims that 1t has no
specific boundaries. but ductuates.
He believes it is more southerly in
winter and the reverse during. the
summer months. One scientist claims
that the Sargasso Sea IL a. large an
the Mississippi Valley.
While the area OF the Sargasso Sea,
and the weed found In It, both have
remained a mystery to scientists, they
are no less unknown than the animal
life which abounds In this unexplor-
ed region. The most extraordinary OF
all the fish to be found there Is the
antennarius. 1t cernents little balls
of weed together In which 1t de-
posits its eggs. This fish Is yellow,
brown and white. with body thick
In proportion to its length. 1t is
four or five inches long, the head
and mouth being enormous for its
size. When agitated 1t becomes In
fiated until 1t resembles a tight ball.

WEAR MODEST COSTUME
IN GRECIAN DANCES
Ford Girls Say They Have No Use
for Maude Allan Style
of Garb

There's no good reason why Grecian dancers
should be so forgetfu1 in the matter of put
ting on clothes before they dance, in the
opinion Of Mabel and Dora Ford, who are at
the Orpheum this week and who have found
a way to portray such dances without taking
great chances on catching cold With their
brothers they make up the team known as
the Four Fords.
The two girls we're praoticing a new Greek
dance the story Of the Princess Nauslca, on
the bare Orpheum stage yesterday morning,
the while they were hummtng the music OF
Strauss ''Blue Danube" They expect to put
this new dance on Monday and 1t will be
the first presentation Of a pure Grecian dance
in vaudeville.
One of the girls was in her street clothes'
the other in a qrecan tunic, with sandals,
but she wore tights underneath, and that is
why the query put as to the necessity
of bare legs in interpreting the revels OF
old Athens as expressed by some dancers
We put this Greek dance into our act
just to break away from the expected clog
and step dancing" said one of the girls,
and we have found it very acceptable
number. We have only done 1T seven weeks,
but already managers are asking us for more

but we are not looking for husbands, as
Josie Heather sings" was Dora's comment
''even if we have an apartment and are
keeping house here. 1t is great sport" she
added, gleefully.
At home in Bensonhurst on Long Island
the Fords have long been devoting their lime
to dancing and have special room, with
a hardwood floor, constructed for their prac-

THEATER OF D'ANNUNZl0
WILL BE BUILT OF IRON
Isadora Duncan Billed to Appear
in Opening Performance

PARIS, Sept. 9-Some particulars
of what Signor d'Annunzio's hemis-
pherical theater are to be published.
The informant, who contributes them
to the Figaro, writes with great en-
thusiasm, which is not surprising, as
he is Signor d'Annunzio's manager,
Mr., J. Schurmann, the impresacio,
The Festal theater is to be entirely of
iron, he tells us. This does not sound
particularly festive or cool, but the
reason is that the d'Annunzio play
house is to be portable. In seven days
it can be taken to pieces, packed up,
and conveyed anywhere, and it can be
put up again In the same time.
This property of the Festal theater
Is the more remarkable because 1T is
to seat 4500 spectators. 1t will be
planned like a Roman amphitheoter.
imagine, for instance, the antique the
alter still preserved at Verona, made
on a smaller scale, of iron, and port
able, and you have the dAnnunzio
PLAYHOUSE. One other improvement
which the Romans did not think of
besides the material used and the port
ability is introduced. The amphithea-
ter will be studded with baskets of
flowers. over which eanopies of vel
1t does not seem quite certain that vel
vet canopies all round the iron amphi-
theater will add to its picturesqueness.
The stage is to be hemispherical, I'm
the shape of a balloon cut in half.
The iron amphitheater will be first
set up in Paris on any space large
enough, such as the Champ Gle Mars,
Oh the Esplanade, and the first night is
already announced for April 20 next.
The first play performed will be "a
great poetic fairy piece by Signor d An
nunzio, requiring 700 supers and an
orchestra of 100 musicians" Miss Isa-
dora Duncan is expected to appear in
the play with her little girl dancers.
Their Festal theater, says the man
ager, will 'revolutionize all previous
conceptions of playhouses."
In October next the public VIII be
invited to apply for shares In the con-
cern. The working capital is to be
$40O. 900, of which, 1t is said, two-thirds
have already been subscribed by
friends of Signor d'Annunzio.. The
poet in the meanwhile is engaged, ac-
cording to his manager, on a four-act
piece called "San Sebastian" In which
will be seen "a new star already APP
plauded with frenzy in two Partisan
theaters."~

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Findings In
what are known popularity as the Pa
cific coast cases." which by order OF
the Interstate commerce commission
were to have become effective on Oct.
1. have been postponed by the com,
mission until Dec. L. 1t was required
by the commission that the railroads
should keep accounts during the
months of July, August and September
of the present year of the freight
handled and the charges collected un-
der the present rates.
The commission also demanded that
the accounts show what the receipts
would have been for the three months
named Under the rates prescribed by
the commission which were consider
ably less than the existing rates.
The roads found 1t impracticable to
prepare these accounts for three
months by Oct. l, as it was not pos
sible to obtain and tabulate the returns
from all the lines.
By agreement with the Interested
narties, therefore, the commission to-
day extended the effective date of its
