Science and Statues.

Goodyear's discoveries in vulcaniza-
ton of rubbers not only have almost
made new world of comforts and
conveniences but opened vast new
golden mines, greater than of the
Rand or famed Tarapaca, of wealth to
be measured only by terms of millions,
if not billions. A rubber supply grows
as 1t is used. but gold and oil can
suffer no increase over old earth's de.
posts All this comes from the mind
of science, but 1t looks to me like a
cold day and a good many years be-
fore we Yanks give Goodyear statue.

CROWDED HOUSE
AT PRIESTS LECTURE
Father Gislinger Entertained Laro,
Observation-Disclosures of Pas
sion Play.

Rev. George Giglinger's lecture on
the Passion Play at the Grand opera
house Friday evening, entertaining
though it was, was married to a GER
tain extent in the failure of the lantern
by which the stereoptican views were
to have been shown. Father Gigling-
er had in all fifty six views, all of
them taken during the present year.
The fuse repeatedly burned out and
/ it was impossible to operate the
lantern successfully. Despite this
the lecturer continued with his mar
rative of the Passion Play and carried
his audience through it entertainingly.
1t has been announced that the views
will be shown at Dodge's theatre at
o'clock this afternoon The Colonial
theatre was suggested at the opera
house Friday evening, but it was be-
lieved that this theatre would prove
too small TO accommodate crowds
No admission will be charged and the
theatre will be thrown open to those
present Friday evening In all fifty
two views of the Passion Play will be
shown and very short sketch will
accompany them.
The Grand was packed to the doors
when the lecture started somewhat
late because of unavoidable delays
Father G;glinger told Of his trip
abroad-his crossing of the ocean and
his early stay in France-relating a
number of very amusing incidents
that happened to him during his trav-
els. He spoke briefly of Rome, its
ancient temples and the ruins thar are
now absorbed by travellers on their
annual visit to the ancient city. He
then plunged into an interesting de-

scription of the Passion Play which
is given every ten years and which
attracts thousands of people from all
parts of the world to Oberammergau.
1t is only recently, he said, that pro-
moters of this play have been able
to realize financially from it, because
TIE outlay is enormous.
Reverting again TO the pictures to
be shown Sunday afternoon, the man
agement is forced to rely upon the
honesty of those attending, because
many have not retained their checks.
1t will be impossible to accommodate
those not attending Friday night be

car was approaching. Realizing the
position he was in he Immediately ap.
piled the emergency brake on the auto
and in doing SO, the hind wheels OF
the machine slipped, placing the auto

The accident was Of such quick ma
ture that neither the oncoming team
nor the street car were able to stop,
thus resulting in an accident. The
street had just been sprinkled in
that territory, which caused great
tendency for the auto to slip.
AS a result of the collision, two
spokes were torn out of the front
wheel of the wagon, while the automo-
bile, which was thought by the look
ers-on to be broken asunder, received
only a few damages, which consisted
of front light, the fender and one OF

hardly be considered very happy

earnest TO avenge sighted lore
