ILLlTERAcY DECREASES.

uIiteracy in the United States has
decreased during the last decade from
107 to rs per cent, according to sta
tistics just given out by the census
bureau. That the decrease has not
been even more marked is due to the
heavy immigration in the last ten
years.
An illiterate in the eyes of the CEN
sus bureau is a person OF ten years or
over who cannot write. regardless Of
his or her ability to cad. The number
of illiterates in the United States in
1910 when the last census was taken,
was 5,516,693, as compared to $50,
069 In 1900 decrease of about $780,
600. And a decrease Of about $780,
from the figures of 1890.
Compared with most countries of
Europe and South America, the United
States has a record of which 1t may
well be proud. In Austria the percent
age of illiteracy was 26.2 in 1900, the
latest figures available. In European
Russia, &c per cent of the population
ten years old or over was illiterate in
1897. in Greece the percentage was
572: in Spain In 1900, 5S.7; in Italy
in 1900, 4S.2; in Canada the percent
age among the people five years old or
over was III in 1901; in Mexico the
percentage among persons eleven
wears old and over was 1853.
But the United States has not equal
the records of some of the more en-
ughtened European countries in wip-
ing ont illiteracy Among Scandinav

LYRIC THEATER.

A tremendous furore of excitement and argument is caused by the for eign novelty act. ''Proto, now appear ing at the popular Lyric theater. Nc two persons can agree as to whether the animated doll is the creation oi marvellous mechanical genius or com posed of flesh and blood. The closest scrutiny fails to reveal any sign of life, the eyes are fixed in a stolid glassy stare, no blinking of the lids betray the secret, every motion is mechanical, and the illusion is abso- lutely the finest ever witnessed on the vaudeville stage. All previous limitations appear on the stage only, siiidd at distance from tine audience, but "Proto" is taken down the aisle and is inspected at close range. It is this rigid test that causes the per son who has formed an opinion to boldly assert the accuracy of same.
 Billy Williams comes in for good share of the honors so lavishly be- slowed by an enthusiastic audience, and Billy certainly deserves it, for he gives a splendid exhibition of the possibilities af hnrnt ees!s, and nd rs rs.s.iisss .s.iss s as a top notcher in that branch of the profession He consistently maintains the no account nigger role he has assumed, and actions and dia- lect are absolutely correct.
 The motion pictures run the gamut of human experience, to those who are inclined to be sentimental, or those who enjoy humor, or who pre- fer pathos, all will find something in their especial field of preference to enjoy.

 The Zoeller trio, comedy acrohats, offer unique performance. which is rollicking mixture of comedy and startling acrobatic stunts. They keep the audience in an uproar from first to last.
