LONDON THEATERS.
The Ordeal of Getting Past the Aged
Ticket Taker.

The ordeal OF Gettin9 Fast the AGED
Ticket Taker.
The first difference | always find be-
tween going to the play in London and
In New York is that in New York the
man who has paid for seat is made
to feel that he is a patron Of the house.
while In London he is greeted by the
staff of the theater not exactly as an
intruder, but as necessary evil. They
appreciate that an audience is neces-
sary evil, but sooner than have one
they would almost prefer to close the
house.
In London for that Importantly stra-
tegic outpost of ticket taker an old
man of eighty is always employed.
You think this is accident, but it Is
not. Old age naturally suggests failing
eyesight. and when he keeps you wait
ing in the foyer while he examines
Is not laundry bill or a motor bus re-
ceipt you attribute the delay to his old
eyes. But In OBTAINING you he has a
motive. Standing at his elbow, scowl-
ing darkly, there always is another
man. apparently plain clothes out
from Scotland Yard, uncomfortably
disguised in evening dress. And while
the aged ticket taker pretends to scru-
nitize your ticket the lookout man
scans you. You cannot escape his eye
He never sleeps. No American, no
matter how reckless. can hope to pass
that man with a concealed bomb or
revolver or wearing a white tie with a
dinner coat.-Colliers

Flies at Sea.

The finding of flies and butterflies
long way out at sea Is perhaps to
most readers a fact not very well
known. A recent traveller in the trop-
les relates that when thirty miles
out from land plague of flies over
took the vessel on which he was steam
ing The cabin was so full of them
that the beams were blackened. Com
mon black housefies they were for
the most part, with. however, good
sprinkling Of large green flies. Where
they could have come from was mys-
terry. but they were a terrible nuisance,
and. although those on board swept off
hundreds in a net, their numbers were
not sensibly diminished. Another sim
gular circumstance was that. although
no land was in sight. large dragon
flies repeatedly few across the ship,
and large dark butterfly was observ-
ed to fit across in the direction of the
nearest land, quite thirty miles away,
without stopping to rest on the vessel
at all.-London Globe.

Passes Bogus Gill

A bogus ten dollar bank bill was
passed at c. A Kohn's store at 6
O'Clock last evening and the men who
did it are not yet apprehended. About
6 o'clock two young men entered the
store and were waited upon by Mrs.
H. Nowack. They purchased cigars
and some smoked fish and laid down
what appeared to be a ten dollar bill
in payment. Not suspecting anything
wrong, the change was given them
and they departed, leaving the
smoked fish behind them When the
fraud was discovered the police were
notified but they could not be located.
The bill is state bank bill with the
legend State of Virginia. and in one

MEETING of Builders Alliance

At a meeting of the Master Build
ers Alliance, which had under con-
sideration the demands of the local
unions for an increased wage scale, it
was practically decided to grant the
increase which approximates about 10
cents an hour in the various trades.
The demand of the plumbers for an
eight hour day was also granted. it is
said, at the meeting. Further than this
the bosses would not go and it is
likely that friction will exist which
may cause trouble on April l when
the new scale is to go into effect and
the contracts between the various
unions and contractors come up for
signatures.
1t is said that the bosses are averse
to signing any contracts which bind
them to a strictly union shop policy
and that many of them desire to run
an open shop the present year. Wheth-
er or not the differences will be ad-
justed before April 1 is an unknown
quantity and if both sides adhere
strictly to their views of the matter,
trouble will probably result which
may have a depressing effect upon
building operations in Watertown in
1910. 1t is possible, however, that the
matters under dispute may be annie
ably adjusted.

Probably few people outside of the

pending. 1t is within recent years that
the fame of the society has attracted
new blood. The death benefit is paid
promptly and consists of a sum of
money equal to the membership. This

ISLAND COMES AND GOES.
Rises In August and Disappears Regu
larry In February.

Rises In August and Disappears Regu'
larry In February.
One Of Michigan's unsolved mystic
ries is the island that every summer
comes to the surface of Lake Orion
and every winter goes back again to
the depths from whence it arose.
Its periods of appearance and dis
appearance are nearly regular. 1t
comes to the surface about the middle
OF August and goes down again about
Feb. Is. What causes it to act thus
strangely is a conundrum that none
has been able to solve, but to keep it
above water or compel it to remain in
the depths have been alike without re-
suits.
On one occasion number of farm
ers and teamsters resolved to put the
island out of moving business. In
their efforts to do so they hauled many
loads Of stone and deposited them on
it during the early part of winter, be-
lieving that when it went down in
February it would go down for good,
weighted as it was with the stones.
But the following August saw it bob
up serenely from below-minus it's load
Of stones.
At another time an effort was made
to keep it on the surface, and it was
chained 10 the surrounding country
with heavy leg chains. When its
time for departure came it departed,
and the log chains departed with it.
The log chains were never recovered.
The island is composed of soft mud
and rushes. and there are some skep-
teal souls who attribute it's formation
and appearance and disappearance to
the gathering of vegetation in one spot
by the currents Of the lake and it's sub
seruent decay.-Boston Herald.

COLOSSUS OF RHODES.
one of the Ancient Seven Wonders Of
the World

bHG wv OFtOs
The ancients succeeded In making
chat alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue,
wholly made of bronze, historically
known as the Colossus of Rhodes. Ii
represented Phoebus. the national del
ty of the Rhodians. 1t was begun by
Chares. pupil of Lysippus, the sculp-
tor. and was completed by Laches 2SS
B. G, The popular belief is that it
stood astride the harbor of Rhodes,
that 1t was lO5 feet high and that
ships could easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates,
afterward Joined together, and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was a spiral staircase reach
ing into its head, and in a great mirror
suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for sixty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that is, until
A. D. 672-when they were sold by the
Saracens to a dealer. The original
cost was 800 talents-about Sc. 100000
and it is not too much to say that a
similar image might be constructed
now In one-fourth of the time and at
sne-third of the original cost. Rhodes
by the way. must have had colossus
on the brain. for Pliny relates that the
port was adorned with 1000 colossal
statues of the sun.
