MUSICAL BENTLEYS ARE
STILL A BIG ATTRACTION

The Musical Bentleys with their
Miramba-xylophone are still attract
ing the crowds to the Empire. This
couple extract some wonderful music
from this peculiar looking instrument,
and their popularity has increased
many times since their suspicious
opening few weeks ago. The pro-
gram is a strong one, for it includes
those sterling artists from the Park,
Harding and WATSON. This pair are
as clever as any ever seen here, in
their own line, and point that is
decidedly in their favor is that they
are original Harding has wonderful
faculty for improvising, and both have
some clever dancing steps and orr

singing some of the latest ballads and
meeting with his usual success.

THE NOBEL PRIZES.

In the ten years of the Nobel Foun-
dation the prizes have been bestowed
ond fifty-six individuals and two peace
societies.
Germany, Is; France, 10; England,
-; Holland, Russia, Italy and Swift.
zerland, 4 each; Sweden, 3; Denmark,
Spain and the United States, 2 each;
Austria, Belgium and Norway, each.
What shall be said of the Unitea
Spain and Denmark, and below Russia
and Holland? AS Americans, of
course, our first impulse is to dis
pute the decision of the umpire, and
claim that Europe has never been
properly appreciative of our scientific
and literary achievements.
But the Nobel committees receive
nominations from distinguished men
of all countries, and they expend a
sum almost equal to the prizes in the
investigation of the relative merits
of the candidates. In their awards
they have shown a catholic if some
what capricious taste, and an inten-
ton to disregard national lines.
We ought at least to beat the
Dutch. But this years awards add
another to the honors of the Neither
lands, twice as many as we have
now. If the prizes went in proper
ton to population, we should have
siXty-four Nobel prizes to match the
Dutch four, and that is more than
the total number.
The four Dutchmen are Lorentz,
Zeeman, Want Hoff and Van der
Waals, all physicists. Now, what four
physicists have We to match against
them? Nicholson, by decision of the
Nobel committee, is in the same
class; that leaves three. One other
name we could with confidence bring
forward as worthy to rank with the
best in the field, Willard Gibbs, of
Yale. He died in 1903, three years
after the Nobel Foundation began its
work. He should have received q
prize, and might have if he had been
less modest or his friends more en-
, ergetic.
. OF our living physicists we will MOI
, venture to pick out the three who
should precede these Dutchmen, fol

deniably stand as high it would mere

One lady living in a South London

1t was half a mile, perhaps, from
the yacht to the particular bit Of

rowed steadily. without 30 much as

felt the CRATE Of the shingle beneath

She became aware, not only that
she had unconsciously come ashore,
but also that the yacht was nowhere

beach could hardly be half that dis
tance, as she remembered. yet looking
round from her seat in the row boat,
she could make out no more than
their blurred masses against the white
Ice and sand which surrounded them.
She scrambled out of the boat and
pulled 1t high up on the beach. The

ate, stormy avowal had the effect of
sort of moral earthquake. 1t left
the ground beneath her feet suddenly
unstable and treacherous: it threaten
ed to bring down about her ears the
whole structure of her life. The very
thing she had relied upon for shelter
and security against outside troubles
and dangers, was. on the instant,
fraught with greater danger than
any of them.
For the first few moments after his
avowal she had felt no emotion other
than that OF astonishment and in
credulity. Even when he asked her
If she could not marry him. anyway.
though the question revolted her, she
told the truth in saying that she was
not angry.
The anger came later, but 1t burned
into flame that was all the hotter
for its tardiness in kindling. 1t must
have an outlet somewhere. and as
such, the promenade up and down the

insufficient.
