THE FOURTH DIMENSION.
rhis reils What II Is, Though You
May Not Quite Grasp II.

The fourth dimension is a property
OF space quite beyond the sense per-
ception of men. an abstraction derived
from the results obtained by well COM
pretended processes in the higher
mathematics. Certain things happen
in these computations which are In no
way susceptible OF explanation in a
space restricted TO the three tea chest
dimensions OF length. breadth and
thickness From a sufficiently consid-
cradle number Of such phenomena the
theory has been evolved that space has
a fourth dimension.
In the common progress OF mathe-
NAUTICAL study the need of such trans
cendental dimension first arises in the
specific case OF that plane section OF
the cone designated the hyperbola. At
an infinite as we'll as in all intermedi-
ate distances of that curve from the
point OF origin the line Is continuous
in given direction: IL now TO irfinity
a single unit be added the curve comes
ilto view in the Numerically opposite
direction.
In this elementary demonstration the
fourth spatial dimension appears 10

beginning 1t is still under careful eS
animation by mathematicians- Sciol-
lists at one time seized upon the idea in
explanation of thought transference,

But, even at that, they had to hedge

the tremendous moment ever trem-

There is type of mind-and it is
common enough-that sees in theat-
rical performance nothing save its hui
rcurs or grotesqueries.
Which goes to the playhouse to
laugh.
And which is the bane of all actors,
near or otherwise.
The giggle, the smoker, the tee-hee-
ing when the actor has worked to a eli
max. Or the loud or hysterical cackle
when he has expended emotional force
upon some more subtle point-these

A babys wall will throw a we'll sea-

hardened vaudeville performer will
lie irritated and handicapped.
The mystery remains why people
will take babies to the theatre.
Or if they do why they don't get up
! and take them out when the baby be-

prolonged yowl. The mother, or grand

else from doing so.
There should be a rule, even at the

begins to disturb an audience.

Washington is tenth among the cities
of the United States In point of new
building commenced during the month
of March, according to figures COM
piled by Construction News from Of
ncial reports from seventy-three cities.
For the year, 1911, this city stood
eleventh, so that the months state

average for the past year. None Of
these figures include Government build
ing in Washington, the reference be-
ing to private enterprises entirely
Although the figures indicate move
ment up the column of cities, they also
show that the new building commenced
in Washington in March, 1912, was
80 per cent less than that started in
the same month year ago. In the
country at large there was gain Of
per cent for the month as compared
with the same month of 1911.
There were losses in forty-one and
gains in thirty-two cities. In New
York, Brooklyn, and Boston, as well
as Pittsburgh, building was extremely
active, rejecting increases of 50, rs. S6,
80 per cent respectively. 1t has been
some time since anything like this in

r. c. Fife, chairman of the western

opening statement in defense of the
proposed changes. He said the work
resulted in part from an attempt TO
bring about uniform classification OF
freight shipments over the entire coun-
try. Referring to the preliminary work
he said that representatives of 292 COM
mercial organizations had appeared be-
fore the committee itself and had been
heard on the proposed changes. He de-
MED there had ever been star chamber
sessions to permit one locality to get
ahead of another. T.

commission, appeared as head of a COM

States which protest against the In

composed of Mr.. Thorne, Alfred Eric
