GREEN WATERS
OF RIVER nile
Minute Weed That Gives the River Its
Peculiar Color. Theory of Days
Past Wrong.

The green water" of the Nile is
quite different thing from the green
water of the ocean.
About April Is the Nile begins it's
annual rise and a month later the eff
feet is felt at Khartum. A very Gu
rious phenomenon accompanies this
increase in the appearance of the
green water"
For long time 1t was believed that
the color came from the swamps of
the upper Nile lying isolated and stag
nant under the tropical sun and pol
luting the waters with decaying vege-
table matter. With the spring rise
this fetid water was supposed to be
swept into the streams to make its
appearance in Egypt.
Within recent times, however, this
theory has been abandoned. Now. we
are advised, the green water is caused
by the presence of innumerable num-
bers of microscopic agae, offensive to
the taste and smell. They originate
away up in the tributaries and are
carried to the Nile, where, under the
hot sun and in the clear water, they
increase with amazing rapidly form
ing columns from $50 to 500 miles in
length.
The weeds continue to grow, die
and decay, until the turbid flood wa
tiers put them to an end, for they
cannot exist except in clear water
Offensive as in some respects the
green water is, 1t Is hailed with de
light by the Egyptians. since it's ap

Took Up False Statements.
Mr.. Longino next took up the many
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-07-28

false statements that have been made
by Vardaman speakers throughout
the state, attributing to their chief all
the good works that have been done
for the state for some years before he
was governor. He stated that few
days ago he heard an overly enthusias-
tic or badly informed vardaman en-.
thusiast make some of the widest
statements he had ever heard. This
Vardaman speaker had in addition to
giving the Major credit for doing ev-
erything that has been done for the
past thirty years to improve the con-
vict system of. the state and building
the old soldiers home, said that the
people should show their gratitude to
Vardaman for erecting the magnificent
State Capitol. The manner in which
Mr.. Longino handled these statements
put his audience in an uproar of laugh
ter and applause, and the crowd went
wild and cheered itself out when he
said, But that isn't all; that State
House was completed and paid for
every cent without the issuance of one
dollars worth of bonds: had been o.
cupied six months before Vardaman be-
came governor and an accounting had
been made for the one million dollars
expended In its construction and there
were vouchers to cover every cent of
the amount" He said he had told the
Vardaman orator that it was a good
thing he quit when he did or his re-
trospection would have carried him
back and he would have attributed the
authorship of the Ten Commandments
to his Chief"
The speaker closed his discussion
with an anylasis of the man who
should be sent to the senate to repre-
sent the state; that man should be
equipped to cope with the giants of
the senate in debate and by diplomacy
and tact accomplish the most good for
his people; forensic displays Of ora
tory and fiery declaration would ac-
complish nothing. The man who would
run away from honorable discussion
before his people was not fit repre-
sentative. He went on to say that the
man who would allow himself to be
hauled about behind oxen, for effect,
was not the kind of man Mississipni
had sent to the senate. Yet there
might be certain appropriateness in
Vardaman's being hauled by oxen The
OK had always been looked upon as the
best beast of burden, and when the
people have heavy load to carry they
look to the OK. and the heavier the
load the more oxen required. This Wa
recently shown when forty yoke of
oxen were required to haul this candi-
date through one small town"
Mr.. Longino paid beautiful tribute
to the ladies present and thanked
them for coming out.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr..
Longino was surrounded by his hear
ers and was kept busy sometime re-
| ceiving congratulations Several prom
inent Vardaman men were among the

"The New York founders had
means, good will and genuine inter-
est in the movement, and their action
Is disappointing. 1t will not, we are
sure, discourage Chicago's friends OF
the artistic theater. Our own Drama
Players must have a reai ciance Their
project is wisely modest; the hope Is
to build up gradually a constituency
interested in classics and standard
plays Of all kinds, ancient and mod
ern, romantic and realistic. The New
York fiasco emphasizes the need Of
caution, but that's all. There is no
occasion for undue pessimism: There
is room for a low-priced little theatre
devoted to the superior play"
How the new idea will take in Chi
cago remains to be seen. 1t is very
probable that the Chicago new the
atre" will meet much the same fate as
the New York house and probably
for the same reason, the lack of plays
of the right sort. There has been no
demand from theatrical managers for
what critics would call good plays and
In consequence none have been pro-
duced of late years. 1t will take time
to produce such plays even should the
success of the new theatre idea be as
sured.
Another aspect of the matter is that
those in charge of the new theatre are
very probably too exclusive in their
tastes. If they conduct affairs to
please themselves alone the move will
die out. They should appeal to the
populace. The common people ap-
preciate art upon the stage and else
where and they will fall into line II
the matter is properly handled. II
should be possible to popularize the
new theatre idea without sacrificing
anything along the line Of art. 1t is
certain the effort will fail IL 1t is in
tended to please only what may be
termed superior minded people. There
are not enough of them.
But whatever may be the fate OF
the present new theatre scheme 1t Is
interesting to know there are people
who take concern in this subject. II
indicates that the time is ripe for i'm
provement of the stage and should bt
notice to theatrical men that If the,
wish to keep pace with the world the!
must give the public better things.

He learned to gladly dream;
"The people are compelled" thought
he,
"To grant me their esteem.
They bow with deep respect, they
know
How great | am, at last!'
With tolerance for those below,
His self-esteem was vast.
He held his office for awhile
And then was pushed aside,
And those who had been pleased to
smile
When he had cause for pride
Forgot to treat him with respect,
And passel him, urconcerned;
Again he sat with the elect
And all their awe returned.
They flocked around him, as before
And praised the gifts he had;
But pride returned to him no more,
Their cheering left him sad.
