Billy is we'll known to the theatre
loving public of this country, and is
offering this season AN attraction even
high above the usual high standard
maintained by him, and "The Girl, the
Man and the Game" has proven the
greatest success of his career, having
toured the United States for forty
weeks the past season, being one of the
few attractions that gave complete
satisfaction.
1t is a mixture of farce and light
comedy with musical Interruptions of
which there are sixteen, and none of
which intrude upon the other, and this
pleasing combination with all sugges-
tiveness removed, forms the nucleus
of a very pleasant two hours of fun
and enjoyment. Billy has in his sup
port an exceptionally clever company
with a bevy of pretty singing and dane
ing girls, and there is no doubt that
his engagement here will prove one of
the most acceptable offerings of the
season.

CRESCENT THEATRE.

Some unusual stage features will be
found in A Lucky HoodOo,' the new
musical comedy which Billy B. Van,
the Beaumont sisters, a large cast and
beauty chorus will offer for the first
time in New Orleans at the Crescent
Theatre next Sunday evening. The
first act represents the stage of a the
atre with scenery, properties, a stage
entrance and several tier of dressing
rooms in the rear A Monday morning
rehearsal is in progress rs the curtain
ascends. The stage manager, the own
er, the leader of the orchestra, must
cal act. strong man, sister team and
others get in a jangle. Van, in the role
of Steve Gall" the property man, is
the cause of the trouble.
The second act concerns the for
tunes of a palmist known as Madam
Holdemdigits," who proves to be an
actress in hard luck. Steve becomes
her office boy and the various stage IA
vorites come 10 have the future re-
vealed Steve impersOnates his mis-
tress and the amusing scenes are pro
life in funny complications. In fact il
is the best laughing show Mr.. Van has
ever had.
Musical numbers introduced during
the action of the comedy include 81
Ne'er Could Love Another Girl Col
den Dreams" Just Little Quaker
Girl" Fairy Fingered Fanny "VO
CALLING "On Broadway Navajo

taken idea that the proper way TO
reach a mans heart is to keep his
house in order and the childrens faces
clean. AS the lady bring order out of
this chaotic condition. Miss CrOsman
shines in the most interesting role she
has had in years. She tells the hus-
band what she imagines to be the Sc
cret of married happiness, and she tells
the wife to make a fuss over her lord
and master if she wants TO keep him
interested. She doesn't tell the wife
that by not looking her prettiest on all
occasions and neglecting her personal
appearance around the house, she has
driven her husband so far as TO kiss
another woman. This is as far as the
mischief has proceeded, however, when
Miss Crosmsn, as the widow. starts her
work of rehabilitation. She is success
full, although in Strengthening out their
affairs she gets herself in hot watef
smoothed out, however, and everybody
hugs and kisses at the finale, which, as
Metcalf, the New York critic says, lis
what every woman wants to see at the
finish of play" Miss Crosman brings
her company to the Tulane next Sun
day for a weeks engagement.

OLDEST TREE IS ON cos
1t Measures 80 Feet In circumference
and 10 More Than 1000
Years Old.

The tallest trees in the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude of $50 feet. The biggest
ere the mammoth trees of California,
some Of which are 276 to 373 feet in
height, and 108 feet in circumference
at the base. From measurements Of
the rings 1t is believed that certain
Of these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The oldest tree in the
world is said to exist on the island Of
Cos OF the coast of Asia Minor. It Is
several thousand years old, but just
how many no one has dared to say.
The tree Is carefully preserved by q
wall Of masonry around It, and the
trunk is thirty feet in circumference
But there are parts of trees in the
form of useful timber which are even
older, probably, than any on the
stump. Beams In old buildings are
preserved today, which are known to
be over a thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Christian era are perfectly sound to-
day, and It Is known that they have
been immersed in water for upward Of
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
able properties when immersed in wa
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump.
many rotting in from FIVE to ten
years, but when immersed in water
they last longer than iron or steel.
An effort has been made by our gov
eminent to preserve woods Indefinite
ly by treating them with oils and tar
products. Already telegraph poles and
railway ties have had their average
life extended from FIVE to ten years
by this process.-Harpeys.

ton caused by romantic writer and
bachelor of forty odd, who inspired by
spring and the welded joy of his broth
err, determines on matrimony as the
browning touch needed to complete his
scheme of perfect life. But unfortu-
nately he forgets his youth is past and
becomes engaged to a high-spirited
tomboyish girl. His struggle to follow
her exuberant pace is almost too much
for the bridegroomelect, who discov.
ers that he can no longer be frolic'
some youth. 1t is an awkward mo-
ment, but by a most fortuitous circum'
stance, the bride-elect has made the
same discovery and breaks off the en-.
gagement, thus leaving the Single
Man" free and supremely happy.

distinguished company of players, the

York, the principal names are Mary

APPARATUS for Finding Water.

The hazel twig as a water finder has
been supplanted by remarkable in
vention, consisting of a simple APP
paratus. The principle on which the
instrument works is the measuring OF
the strength Of electric currents
between the earth and the atmos-
phere. These are always strongest In
the vicinity of subterranean water
courses. the flowing waters Of which
are charged with electricity to a GER
tain degree. The apparatus takes
the form Of boN-shaped instrument
fixed on tripod, with dial on which
needle is used to indicate the pres
ence of water. If the needle remains
stationary 1t may be taken for grant
ed that no subterranean spring ex-
lists; the spot where the greatest
movement of the needle Is obtained Is
that where well boring operations
should be made.

berries. 1t is in the folk element that
the Muscovite photographic and must
cal arts are so closely akin. Both grew
up spontaneously among the people.
All the great Russian composers
Tschaikowski, Glinka, Rimski-Korsa-
kow, among others-used the melodies
of the people as the basis of much of
their work. The terpsichorean art in
which Russia is supreme. developed
because the primitive Slavic peasants
loved to dance.
The Russian dancing that has set
the country afire is of course a cult
waited art. But the term hot house"
development cannot be applied to it,
for the art had already attained won.
derful growth before ballets became
the playthings of Cars and dancers
were trained from childhood at Impe-
rial expense. The naturalness, the
spontaneity, the fire, the abandon,
which make up the heart and soul of
Russian choreographic art, are heri-
tages of the Russian people. The Ital-
ian and French ballet masters who for
centuries went to st. Petersburg at the
Cars call, before Russia produced
great ballet masters of her own, con-
tributed the polish, but the basis is ma
tive Russian.

preserving" the Baby.

Young James had seen some fish
picked. and was at once impressed
and puzzled by the explanation, elicit
ed by long and steady fire of Ques-
lions, that the sailing process was to
make the fish keep" A little later
he attended the baptism of an infant
friend and was still puzzled. But at
last light broke in upon him, and
in a shrill tone that could be heard
all over the sacred edifice he exclaim-
ed: "Oh, now / know all about 1t,
mother. The water is to make the
baby keep!"
