years, but this is the first time they have ever been transplantcd to the sage Gus Hill, the prominent New York manager. k responsible for the metamorphosiS and from all accounts he has done exceedingly well by the adventurous and mischievous pair. Ill the first place he has attended to the essential end of the show business by gathering a capable company. Then he has clinched the next important thing by securing d good and durable play. It is a rollicking piece of thea trical property with laughter as the main keynote. The fun starts at the rise of the curtain and is continued until the very last line is spoken
 Mutt and Jeff" have plenty to do. They are in the limelight throughout. They have many escapades and the way they eNtricate themselves from all sorts of seemingly hard difficult ties keeps the action and interest at eNHlldTdllnS plltI. He COlllcuN io III three scenes, the music is of the kind that can be whistled and retained, while the other features are out of the usual run. It is a play that the tired business man can enjoy without be- ing compelled to solve the problem of life. There Is plot and there is con tinuity to the story The whole en- tertainment was eoncoeted for laugh ing purposes with successful results. To those who like to be amused the comedy should make a direct appeal. And to those who like to see charm
 ing women who can really do some-
 thing outside without posing and looking pretty. the production IS
 cheerfully recommended.

FREAK SHADOWS.
A Peculiar Phenomenon That Has 6
Simple Explanation.

A Peculiar Phenomenon That Has e
Simple Explanation.
In the crude oil producing regions IN
California there are scores of large
ponds of this material. After being
pumped to the surface the petroleum
is emptied into depressions in the
earth, where 1t remains for time.
Later the crude oil is placed in bar
rels. in large metal cans or else in big
reservoirs. These oil ponds are known
as ''sump holes
There is one peculiar thing about
these "sump holes" and that is in 1.-The
way of producing what are known as
"freak shadows" These are real
shadows. but notwithsta nding this fact
they are decidedly "freaky.' If the
sun is brightly shining and per
son stands for few moments on the
margin of the 'sump hole" so thai
his shadow falls on the surface of the
petroleum and he then quickly changes
his position the dim shadow remains
just where it was originally cast. In
other words. the shadow does moi
follow the substance
This may seem like paradox. but II
Is true. The instant person shifts
his position his shadow is again cast
in new place. yet the former shadow
remains unchanged. The longer a
person stands In one particular spot
the longer will the former shadow be
visible.
Hundreds of experiments have been
made along these lines, and every time
the same results have been produced
The simple explanation for this phe-
nomenon is that under the hot sun
gas Is being constantly generated
down in the body of the petroleum.
and 1t rises to the surface In the form
of little minute bubbles. So very
small are these bubbles that they are
scarcely visible to the naked eye. Mil
lions Of these wee bubbles are rising
to the top all the time, when the
bubbles break and the gas Is liberated,
passing into the air.
Both the gas and bubbles are so
very supersensitive to the temperature
that even ones shadow cast for q
moment across them is affected. The
temperature is lowered. Whenever the
substance quickly changes position the
shadow remains until the rays again
warm up that spot and the shadowy
outline slowly fades away. OF course
the "freak shadow may be seen for
only very few seconds.-Scientific

The Shock That Comes With the Bite
of the Electric Ant.
When you happen to sit down to
rest or take notes near a colony Of
electric ants some wandering hunter
is sure to find you and come cautious
ly forward to discover the nature of
the intruder and what ought to be
done. If you are not too near the ant
town and keep perfectly still he may

trousers. as If taking your measure
and getting comprehensive views, then
go in peace without raising an alarm
If, however. a tempting spot is offered
or some suspicious movement excites
him bite follows. And such a bite!
I fancy that a bear or wolf bite Is
not to be compared with it. A quick
electric flame Of pain flashes along
the outraged nerves. and you discover
for the first time how great is the ca
pacity for sensation you are possessed
of. A shrek. a grab for the animal
and bewidered stare follow this bite
seriousness from sudden eclipse.
This wonderful electric ant is about
three-fourths of an inch long. Bears
are fond Of it and tear and gnaw
its home logs to pieces and roughly
devour the eggs. larvae. parent ants
and the rotten or sound wood OF the
cells, all in one spicy acid hash. The
Digger Indians also are fond Of the
larvae and even of the perfect ants. so
l have been told by old mounfaineers.
They bite off and reject the head and
eat the tickly acid body with keen
relish. Thus are the poor biters bit-
ten, like every other bitter. big or little.
