Wagner alludes to the matter in
one Of his letters. 1t will be rem
embered that. after innumerable re-
hearsals, the promised production of
Tristan und Isolde" at Vienna in the
early COS was abandoned. Ever
since the first postponement of the
Tristan rohearsals," Wagner wrote
the musical press of Vienna has
found its favorite occupation in the
attempt to prove that my work could
not possibly be performed in any cir
cumstances-that no singer could hit
on the notes, or remember them"
He went on to compare this ex-
perience with Nine Viardot- -Garcia's
achievement in Paris. then, so far
from terrifying her the music SEEM
ingly presented no difficulties to the
artist. In view of the fact that the
famous singer continued her work as
a teacher almost down to the day of
her death, it is interesting to recall
what was said of her once by George
sand, who described her as zone of
those rare, fortunate individuals to
whom work is a delight. a recre-
ation-nay, an Indispensable normal
condition, while inactivity would be
to her an eXhausting effort, a NOR
bid state, We're she capable of it."

MAD POET TAKES LIFE
IN MELODRANfATIC WAY

Athens, Greece.-Poricles Tanopou-
los. a Greek poet, compared by Nine.
Leblanc Maeterlinck to Hermes for
his personal beauty, has committed
suicide in melodramatic fashion.
At a banquet to which he had sum-
moned all his friends he showed
them a truntful of manuscripts that
we're to be destroyed
Tomorrow I am going on a jour
ney," he said, as they left him. The
next morning each of them received
by post an exquisite statutette of a
horse.
At the same time Ianopoulos rode
out of the city to Mount Aegaleos,
gathered a garland of flowers, and
then made a dash for the sea. At the
time a violent storm was raging.
Ianopoulos, driving his spurs into the
horses flanks urged the maddened
beast into the foaming waters of the
bay, and shot himself through the
heart.
In letter written to a relative the
poet wrote. "I am giving my dead
body to the sea to cleanse It, II the
sea gives me up, cast me back
again"

TO FLY OVER THE ATLANTIC.
Monster Dirgiblc 1000 Feet Long
Being Constructed Near London.

London.-A trip from England to
America by airship will be possible
next year, and according to Baron
Roenne, a Russian and the designer
Of the craft. which is being built es-
pecially for transatlantic travel the
craft will negotiate the distance in
seventy-two hours.
The new velles is at present being
constructed about ten miles outside of
London, and a group of English fl
nanciers are back of the proposition.
The craft will be capable of carry
ing thirty-eight tons with its own
weight. It is to be one thousand feet
in length. sixty-five feet in diameter,
and will be driven by sixteen pro-
pellers.
It is to be a rigid dirgible with an
outer cover of an alloy called chro-
MUM, the surface of which is to be
so prepared as to resemble a mirror.
This is to be the pioneer of fleet
of such British airships. Influential
men are considering the formation of
a company to promote the building of
an aerial navy and the establishment
Of a passenger and mail service.
Baron Roenne has mapped out
routes and charts, and he has drawn
up rough time tables for the mail

CHARITY At HIS MEMORIAL.
Edwards Desire Was to Help Hos
pitals.

London.-Already many people are
beginning to ask what would be the
best form for the national memorial
to King Edward to take. That
such memorial will he erected is
regarded as certain, and it is equally
certain that the members of the late
kings family will look with consider
able distaste upon any proposal to
erect costly monuments of stone and
bronze.
The memorial that the late king
would have liked best would un-
doubtedly have been to see the Lon
don hospitals placed upon a satis-
factory financial footing, and when
the proper time arrives it is under
stood that King George will suggest
that, instead of very large sums be-
ing spent upon statues and other me-
MORALS to the late king, an energetic
effort shall be made to complete the
work begun by King Edward Hos
pital fund TO relieve the hospitals of
the united kingdom from the load Of
debt that is now burdening them.

HAS MADE HIMSELF YOUNG.
Extraordinary Success Claimed for
Sir James Grants Method.

London-Sir James Grant, the well
known Canadian physician, recip-
lent of many foreign honors believes
that he has discovered. not exactly
the elixir of life. but at any rate
means OF prolonging youth, and ap-
parently of bringing back youth to
some extent
Sir James Is himself the best ad-
vertisement Of his method, for he pos
scsses amazing vitality for his age,
now nearly seventy-seven years. He
is visiting London, and he looks like
a man i'm his fifties. His secretary,
a young man. says II is difficult to
keen up with the work his employer
does.
Two years ago Sir James created
sensation at meeting of the British
association by a paper on the extra
ordinary rejuvenatlng powers of cleo
tricity. He has since then treated
himself by his own method, with re-
suits that he describes as wonderful,
and he has also had much success
with n number Of eminent patients on
the other side of the Atlantic. His
treatment consists of electrical appli-
cations by means of a special battery
and systematized massage.
A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette"
saws he walked with Sir James dis
tance of half a mile and could not
help commenting on his vigor and
energy. He asked Sir James II he
wore spectacles, and Sir James re-
piled:
eyes, I do wear spectacles. I have
worn them for forty years-until such
time as I began to treat myself with
electricity and massage; today I do
almost the whole OF my reading and
writing without using any spectacles
at all My hearing is as good as ever
and I feel that I have the energy of
a man Of forty.
