The story of The Fortune Hunter"
is a pleasant tale that holds a genuine
charm for every native American. 1t
bears Its own testimony that 1t springs
from the soil. Its sentiments have a
very decided affinity for the senti-
ments of everyone whose memory car
ries back to the little places that clus-
ter in the laps of hrook-drained. wood

play does not seduce the feelings with
fortune: no betrayed girl staggers
weepingly through its four happy acts:
one never hears i'll it the faintest echo
of the gypSy's warning: no dark eyed
stranger is seen in pursuit OF startled
innocence: no blank c%artridGed re-
volver blasts villiany with stage-death

Of distress is turned to pure comic
use. 1t is as clean and wholesome
as the breath OF the meadows.
The piece is c%apitally acted. The
performance given by Fred Niblo has
greatly enhanced his already wide
spread popularity and there is every
reason to believe hat in the whimsi-

(New York world.)

(New York WORLDLY
We hear a great deal these days of
the wonderful curative properties of
ultraviolet rays-those scarcely visi-
let at the very end Of the spectrum of
rainbow colors. The newest m most
interesting discovery about these rays
is that they can be used for the purify
ing and sterilizing of the city water
supply. The water passes through
tanks, or chambers, illuminated by ul-
tra-violet rays, and becomes absolute
ly sterile.
Proof of this has t,een found in a
series Of experiments made with the
water supply for the village Of Ma
romme, near Rouen, France. Marom-
me is the center of half a dozen small
suburban districts, and 1t furnishes
water for a combined population of
$4,000.
Despite every precaution, the water
sometimes becomes contaminated be-
fore it reaches the service pipes from
the catchment grounds. and in order
to Insure the absolute purity Of the
water an ultraviolet ray sterilizing
plant was recently installed.
The water is purified in this way:
1t is first necessary to filter the water,
so as to make sure that 1t shall be
clear enough to permit the easy pene-
tration Of the ultraviolet rays. For
this purpose a very simple filter suf-
fees, and in this case a fltering sur
face of so meters square is more than
enough. This surface is divided in
to two filters. A layer two feet thick
of clean, fine sand is placed on a bed
Of small gravel. and this rests on per-
forated tiles carefully cemented to-
gether. From under the filters the
water flows into small tanks or res
ervoirs tha. feed the sterilizing an.

never knows where the laurels will

for discoveries concerning the dis

These are the big things Alfred
Nobel wanted science to reach for. He
felt that great truths in each Of the
five divisions designated were waiting
to be uncovered by some one who
could afford the leisure for expert
mont and study. Already the Nobel
prizes are among the worlds great

TO POE.

Somewhat tardy, it would SEEM, is
the movement on foot In Baltimore
to provide a suitable monument to
Edgar Allan Poe. Yet to the many
who have knowledge Of the circum-
stances Of the poets life. as we'll as
to the lesser number who know Of
his burial place. there must come
the partial conviction that things as
they are, If not indicative Of any high
measure Of appreciation on the part
Of America, are al least in keeping
with much that characterized his
troubled %sojourn on earth.
Poe's last resting place-and, in a
sense. his first-is in a narrow. crowd
ed plot, at the foot Of an old Balti-
more church. among ancient graves
Of long forgotten men and women.
Factories, business houses, and small
shops are on either hand. The mar
ket is not far of. to which h husk-
ster wagons run daily over the rough
cobblestones. The clang Of the car
gong is heard every few minutes, as
the workmen and shoppers are car
ried to and fro. The inquiring WIS.,
itor knows he Is ear the hallowed
spot, but the conductor merely says.
'dunno!" to his request for definite
direction. and only by chance does
he obtain the necessary guidance.
over the grave is a simple shaft, the
gift Of school children. bearing on
n side a well-executed profile Of
the poets delicate features. Every
thing around is bare, cherries, and
uninviting.
But is not all this in thorough
%nsona with existence as Poe
found it? AS now in death, was it
not so in life? A sensitive. lonely
man, Poe moved through the world,
wrapped in his own strange dreams.
while the world, e~ngrossed in its
own affairs. went stolidly about its
business. as little occupied with the
alien spirit then as now. Jostled by
the uncaring, manhandled in his last
moments by the toughs Of Mash
Market" he knew them and their
scenes as little as they knew his.
Oblivious to the tawdry surroundings,
knowing hat the times were out Of
joint. yet with no conscious mission
to set them right. his body moved
uncomplainingly in their midst, while
his soul retreated to ~sequestered
glades. where strange flowers grew.
Poe's grave has the fitting loneli-
ness Of that which is lost in tumult.
It is a place one might we'll choose
for such as he to lie, answering in its
way to that selected by Hugo for the
grave Of the convict Jean Vatican,
that other lonely creation Of the nov
elist's brain. doomed to be cut Off
forever by law and convention from

they rapidly multiply, gnawing their

MAETERLINCK FOR NOBEL
PRIZE,

Word comes from Sweden that this
year the Alfred B. Nobel prize for the
best literary achievement OF the year
will be awarded to Maurice Maeter-
hnck. There seems to be no surprise
ut the decision and no inclination on
the part Of the reading public to carp
1t the verdict. Some Of the other
writer's who have won the prize. Of
fered annually since 1901. are Prud-
homme. Bjoernson. Sienkiewiez and
Hpling. 1t is contended that Maeter-
inck compare f%avorably with these.
But because there have already
been two winners among the French
writer's. Maeterlinck will receive his
award through Belgium. which is his
native country, although we think

guage.
The Nobel prizes are the most
~stupendous offered in the world, and
their history is interesting. Alfred
Nobel, son Of a Swedish scientist, was
sent to this country to study enei-
neering under John Ericsson. Re-
turning to Europe an accomplished
linguist and eager for scientific re-
search, he went into business with his
father and gave himself up to study
and investigation. These two men
were the first manufacturers Of nitro
glycerine on a commercial scale. In
1864 the. explosion of their works
killed Charles father and brother,
but only momentarily dampened his
ardor. He built new works and con-
tinued his experiments and in 1856
discovered dynamite. which replaced,
IN general commerce, the highly ex-
plosive nitro-glycerine. The inven-
ton or discovery of other explosives
followed, until it is said he owned
n hundred and twenty-nine such
patents.
To this source of wealth he added
the operation Of the most extensive
oil works outside Of Standard oil, and
money literally poured into his cof-
fers. When he died, in 1896, he was
worth more than $4,000. 900.
AS his family were all wealthy, he
