Open-Air Theaters.

When the New theater in New York
failed an artist in explaining why said
that such a theater as that purported
to be was an idea, not merely a struc-
tuTe of fine building art and material,
and the idea had not been developed.
Now New York proposes an open-air
theater with an immense stadium,
where high-class plays may be pre-
sented for popular prices, thus afford
ing opportunities to those not able to
pay for them at the ordinary theater.
II This kind of a theater is also an
idea and should not fail for lack OF
the ideas development. II is in line
with other trends of thought. 1t would
be far more than theater for the
presentation OF drama 1t would be
essentially = great educational insti-
linton. for other forms OF Intellectual
as well as athletic exercises and enter
tainm ent could have a place there.
Indeed, the New York Herald even
proposes. that it might afford space
for a base ball diamond for the boys.
At any rate it would be a great thing
for New York with its congested mil
lions to have such q place OF amuse-
ment and entertainment in the warm
months Of the year where people might
go without being housed in. And II
it proved a success in New York. as
It undoubtedly would, the example
might be followed in other cities all
over the land. In fact. this probably
will In a very short time come to
pass, for the idea of open-air enter
tainment is popular.
The New York project has tn q
hearty endorsement of men prominent
in various lines of life and a sufficient
money backing to warrant its ma

JAPAN's LOSSES IN WAR.
Veil of Secrecy Lifted from the
Mortality Ron.

Mortality Roll.
st, Louis Globe-pemocrat
At last the world is getting the correct
figures. or some Of them, of the losses
sustained by japan in the war Of 1904-o5
against Russia, and they show that the
mortality was far greater than the Japa-
pese pretended at the time, An article
on this subject by Lieutenant Colonel
Charles f. Woodruff Of the medical corps
Of thesURited States army, published in q
New York medical magazine, tells the
official report by the Japanese medical
bureau, and they are ths first accurate
data which have been published in the
United States.
The Japanese deaths from disease we're
at the rate of 1,4n a month for the eight
cen months of the war. These were not
as numerous, man for man, as were the
deaths from disease In our army during
the civil war but the proportion of deaths
from wounds was greater than with us.
With an aggregate strength Of 25GO0O by
us in the Spanish war OF 1898 we had very
nearly that many cases Of sickness in all
grades in four menths and Japan had
10000 serious Hospital cases out of an
army of $4,000 In eighteen months. Our
medical and commissary departments were
known to be defective I'm 1898, while
Japan's was believed to be as far ad-
vanced as those of any other nation, yet
in the comparison with Japan We do not
show up badly.
