IT falls to do Justice to tn merit OF
the production in that it gives no
idea OF the clever originality of the
plot or the skill Of the dramatist,
Mr.. 9. Z. Sim, in It's DEVELOPMENT.
The Girl in the Taxi" a rapid
fire comedy drama, presented by a
group of clever actors and staged
very nicely was the attraction last
night at the Grand opera house and
a packed house was there to sec
and hear IT. Although the aim of
the play is to depict a certain phase
of city life and to crowd a great deal
OF fun into a short series Of situa-
,tions, yet as a moral example 1t is
not quite satisfactory and it is not
deserving Of any high degree Of
praise on that account.

Recent sensational developments
as to the conduct Of the Charleston
Jail and especially the proof that
a high degree Of immortality existed
there doubtless will cause the pres
ent legislature to consider means of
reformation in such institutions.
Perhaps, the question of having jail
matrons will be taken UP. Female
prisoners under the care Of women
as matrons would doubtless have bet
ter protection than they have in
some of the jails,

This Is Slumber Land.

Here is story about the soothing
quality Of Flatbush air, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. Newcomers to Flat
bush notice first Of all that they don't
seem able to get sleep enough. At
first they have an idea that perhaps
it's the malaria, but it is only the
heavy sea air which induces slumber.
A new resident in Flatbush asked
some friends of his in the district if
the experience was common one.
"Oh, yes" was the reply, that is
the case with everybody who moves
here. A certain woman who lives not
far from Eighteenth avenue started to
make three beds one morning at nine
o'clock. At seven o'clock that night
she had not yet made the third. The
beds looked so inviting and l was so
tired she explained. that whenever
came to one lay down and slept on
it,"

TRIUMPH OF WATER FINDING
English Expert Locates Ample Supply,
Guaging Depth Below Surface
Within Two Feet.

A very remarkable achievement in
"water-flnding" has been carried
through at Selly Oak, Birmingham. 1t
was necessary to discover supply of
water on the land belonging to the Pa
tent Enamel works, and Mr.. Chester
man was called from Hereford for the
purpose. He went over the land with
his piece Of aluminium wire for about
half an hour. Then he suddenly
stopped and declared that at the place
where he stood water would be found
at a depth of $50 feet A contract was
signed by which he engaged to sink an
eight-inch artesian tube which should
produce not less than $4,000 gallons
of water day, on the condition mo
water, no pay" He employed hydrau-
lie boring machinery, and in fourteen
days struck water at depth of 248
feet, and test pumping for 20 hours
proved a yield of 10000 gallons per
day. That the expert should have
gagged the depth within two feet is
considered one of the greatest triumphs
in water-finding of modern times.

breaches Annual Sermon.

What is known locally as "The
Vegetable Sermon" was given recent
ly by the bishop Of Stepney, England,
in Shoreditch church. The origin Of
the sermon goes back almost two GEN.
turtles. Thomas Fairchild, Hoxton
gardener, who died in 1929, be-
queathed sum of money for the pur-
pose of paying a preacher to deliver
a lecture in the church lin the after
noon of Tuesday in every Whitsun
week.. The lecture must be one of
the two following subjects: 1.-THE
Wonderful Works of God in Creation"
or "The Certainty of the Resurrection
of the Dead. as Evidenced by Changes
in the Animal and Vegetable Parts CT
the Creation" The lecture was first
preached in 1880 and has been deliv-
cred annually ever since.

ANTID0TE FOR EACH RECIPE
What the Author Of Cook Book
Found on the Margina Left
for Notes.

The woman was the author of a
cook book that has been published at
her request with wide margins and
occasional blank pages for notes and
additional recipes. Often she had ex-
pressed wish to see an old copy Of
the book and find out to what use the
blank spaces had been put. One day
in secondhand book store her hus-
band unearthed an old volume. No
ticing that it had been annotated free
ly, he bought it. After a day or two
he said:
"How about the notes in that cook
book? Were they Interestingly"
NO." she said CURLY; they didn't
amount to anything"
When he got a chance he looked
through the book himself. Every note
the book contained was a remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble.

Good Use for Old Wire Rope.

Old wire rope is used in certain
French mines for reinforcing old tim.
bers, especially the cap pieces of sets.
The old rope is stretched longitudinal.
ly around the timber, the ends being
held fast between the roof and the
top of the cap piece so they cannot
slip. When timber starts to bend
under the weight Of the roof part of
the tension is taken up by the wire
cable, enabling miner to put in ad.
ditional supports before fall occurs.
The ends Of the cap pieces are tapered
and grooved deep enough to receive
the rope and prevent any part of 1t
projecting beyond the bearing ends
Of the timber pieces.
