for one of the greatest character crea-
tons of his notable career. as Sir John
Cotswold. will be presented by the Column
bia Players at the Columbia Theater this

Interest in the play arises from the
fact that the son and daughter of Sir

the daughter and son of Sir Isaac Jacob
son, member Of parliament and next
door neixhbor. whose father at one time
was in the employ Of the Cotswolds. but

ton at her home and incloses n check
for E10O as compensation. The invitation
and check fall into Sir Johns hands.

Study Of London Slang.

From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle
Germans who wish to become proficient
in London slang are well provided for,
thanks to Herr Baumann. the author OF
one Of the most exhaustive works ever
produced upon the subject Londonis-
men, has run into several editions since its
original publication in 1885. each edition
being as far as possible brought Up to
date. AS an aid to the pronunciation OF
the MANY strange words in his work, Herr
Baumann has devised a system of nota-
ton. This, It Is claimed. will enable
painstaking German students to hold their
own in a slanging contest with the most
fluent native.
The author Is thorough. Several pages
are devoted to the word ''on." From
these we learn, with other things, the
vast difference between the phrases. II
had a little bit on" and Il was little
bit on" which to the untutored foreigner
appear pretty much the same thing.

Test Of Wines Purity.
From the Los Angeles Times.


The best and quickest way OF deterrnin-
ing whether wine has been adulterated is
to place a tube containing a sample in a
telephone circuit. II the wine is pure,
says NJ Dutoit, Swiss savant. 1t acts as
a conductor, and communication is main
tanned without let or hindrance. If. on
the other hand. there is any fraud 1t is
difficult and sometimes quite impossible
to carry on a conversation.
How can this be possible? Simply for
the reason that wine Is an electric con-
ductor. Far from throwing ridicule on
this interesting discovery. two French
savants have been putting 1t to severe
test, and the result Of their experiments
has just been communicated to the Acad-
emie des Sciences. They do not regard
M. Dutoit's theory as conclusive. but they
frankly admit that IL sulphates are mixed
with wine-a process which converts 1t
into what the French call WIN platre-
the trick can be clearly detected by
means Of the telephone Naturally. how
ever, they hold that at least for the pres
ent it is more prudent to adhere to the
ordinary test Of chemical analysis.
