To Burn a Thcater.

Berlin, Nov. "A unique test to as
certain the fireproofness of theaters is
about to be made under the joint au-
spices Of the German steel trust and
the National Association Of Master
Carpenters In this city.
A model theater as big as good
sized residence is to be constructed out
of steel. iron, cement and wood, with
iron safety curtains, emergency exits
and special set of ventilation Stats
built with a view to diverting the
flames IN certain directions in case of

The building will shortly after its
completion be ignited, and the progress
of the fire in it's various stages will be
observed by a commission of experts
representing builders, fire departments,
architects and insurance companies.
Every conceivable sort of theater fire
emergency will be provided for, and
the experts hope to arrive at hitherto
unimagined methods Of preventing a

New Haven, Nov. 5.-The formation
of an international conference to con-
slider a remedy for the increasing cost
Of living which was recently suggested
by Professor Irving Fisher Of Yale uni
versity is still uppermost in his mind.
He outlines a plan of his own for pre-
venting fluctuation in the value Of the
dollar, so that the weight Of the gold
dollar should be INCREASED enough to
restore some of it's lost purchasing
power.
'My proposal" says Professor Fisher,
"is not literally, but virtually, to in
crease the weight Of the gold dollar by
increasing the weight of the bullion on
which it is based But this increase in
weight would not be added to the coins
themselves, but only to the bullion out
of which they are made. In other
words, the proposal is to restore the
ancient custom of a seigniorage on gold
coinage. At present there is no seign-
forage. Coinage is free, and the weight
of a gold dollar is as great as the
weight of the bullion which the miner
takes to the mint and for which he re-
ceives back dollar"
A gold dollar contains 25.S grains of
metal. Professor Fisher would require
the miner, instead of giving so much
bullion for the coin, to give 2G, - or %
grains. The difference between tho two
amounts would be the SeigniOragc. 1t
would not be fixed once for all, but
would be continually adjusted SO as to
give the dollar always a fixed purchas-
ing power. The ultimate dollar" he
said would be as it now is-a dollar
of gold bulliOn--but this dollar would
no longer be Of fixed weight and vari-
able value. but of fixed value and vari-
able weight.
THE adjustment Of the seigniorage
would be entirely automatic, dependent
on an official index number of the price
level. If the official index number
showed a rise of prices in any year,
say 1 per cent, it would be mandatory
for the minis to add 1 per cent to the
seigniorage. Expressed the other way
about, if gold loses l per cent of its
value, the minis would pay / per cent
less for it, This would tend always to
preserve a uniform purchasing power
Of the monetary unit"

PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

Miss Bouverie, a companion to Mrs.
Clarkson ON an Australian ranch,
ceases singing when a dapper young
man walks into the ranch house. He
politely bids her sing more. while he
plays. Her voice receives his high
est comrnendation. Before leaving he
promises TO be at Mrs. Clarl1son's con-
cert, which Sir Julian Crum, the cele-
brated English musical authority, Is
to attend. In due course the great
night came around, but Hilda Bouverie
looked for her hero in vain. Mrs. Clark
son and some of the others had done
their part when Stingaree appeared on
the stage leveling a brace Of revolvers
at the assembly. He insinuatingly re-
quests Mrs. Clarkson to sing. A re-
volver is passed unobserved to Hilda
by the station overseer.
