..THE GARDEN OF ALLAH"
Pieases Large Audience at Academy Of
Music Baltimore Repeated All
Next Week.

The vast audiences that have wit
messed afThe Garden of Allah this
week at the New Academy of Music.
Baltimore, have borne enthusiastic
testimony TO the excellence of this
dramatization Of Robert Hichen's
novel OF the same name, in which be
was ably assisted by Mary Anderson
de Nevarro. The production by the
LiebIer Company is generally consid-
cred the last word in theatrical
effects. The spectacular environ
ment has been provided with a lavish
hand.
Briefly the story is that of monk
who renounced his monastic VOWS
and returned to the world. Meeting
woman, whom chance threw in the
way of his protection, he falls IN love
with her and marries her. Finally
he reveals TO her that he is an apos-
tate monk and is persuaded by her to
return to the monastery, while she
lives her life with her child. The
play is in four parts of nine scenes
and an epilogue.
The first shows the spirit of the
desert, with the morning light break
ing over it and the Arab caravan
crossing the sands. The second shows
the road from the Monastery OF I'll
Largani and introduces the monk,
later Boris Androvsy. The third
shows the veranda of the hotel at
Mora and really is the first act
in which the play makes itself felt,
LnF
woman, Domini Enlden, meet. Then
comes a typical street scene IN the
dance hall, where Boris protects
Domini during the Arabs quarrel
over the love of dancing girl.
The second part, of one scene, is
the Garden of Count Anteoni, and 1T
is a most wonderful setting, with its
palms, its tropical flowers, its run
ming water, and. seen through the
dim vistas of the sisles between the
trees, a view of the limitless desert.
II really is the climax of the scenic
part of the play. In the third part
the first scene shows the desert with
a sand storm holding it in its grasp.
Seen through the waves of sand 3
the tent of Boris and Domini, where
they have lived since their marriage.
The next scene shows the same
desert the next morning, with the
sand piled in waves and pillows as
left by the storm, and it is here that
Boris tells of his broken vows and
is persuaded to return to his faith.
The fourth part shows the gates of
the Trappist monastery and the monk
returning TO his vows. The epilogue
is set in the wonderful garden of
Count Anteoni and shows it from an
other point of view. Lawson Butt,
the Boris Androvsky Of the play is
a splendid actor, showing good
sense of proportion, showing in his
quieter moments the nineteen years
of Trappist training, only to fling the
all aside when passions run riot
and remCrse compels the telling of
his story.
Dorothy Donne lily, we'll remember
ed as the star of Madame X" plays
with great honor the role of Domini
Enfilden. Arthur Forrest, Frank
Kingdom, Edwin Brandt, Jose Ruben,
Florence Johns and others are ad-
mirably suited to their respective
roles. The Arabs, the camels. the
donkeys, goats, pigeons and all the
east imported for the production add
to its worth and give it atmosphere.

Not long ago the claim was made
In Japan that Japanese scientists had
actually photographed thought. Just
how thoroughly the scientific world at
large was convinced OF this is a ques-
ton, but the announcement did create
considerable discussion. DR.. Max Baff,
of Clark college, Worcester, Mass, ev.
idenced unusual interest in this, and
In his discussion he observed that a
good way of taking photographs of
thoughts would be to expose the film
in vacuum tank while the subject
whose thoughts were to be caught on
the sensitized plate would lean his
head against his tank
Another method which might result
in some interesting results, according
to DR.. Baff, might be to take an un-
exposed film roll, and have two sub
jects unroll it in a dark room and
each develop it together; at the same
time they should not speak, but should
each continue to think intently upon
some single subject previously agreed

probable that the use Of electric lights
will be widely extended. The bureau
has made tests showing how electric
motors should be encased to render
safer their operation in gaseous coal
mines. 1t has shown that explosive
mixtures of mine gases may be ig-
nited by the breaking Of an electric
light bulb.
The director dwells on the necessity
OF trying to prevent explosions rather
than check them after they r start.
ed. in this Connection he calls atten-
ton TO the fact that here has been
a revolution In the use OF explosives
in coal mining" and the work Of the
bureau in Investigating explosives
has alone a value far greater than the
enire cost since its establishment" He
says that now than $4,000, 900

MISSILE explosives whereas a few
years ago practically none vas used.

ton, he ads, "and it is Of great import

Health conditions in and about the

oninion OF Or. Holmes. Preliminary
inquiries, he says, have indicated the
prevalence OF tuberculosis and the
presence OF ho0kworm as miners di-
seases in several different localities
in the United States. 1t is important
that this work should be extended
rapidly, because Of the fact that the
health conditions as well as the risk

THE large and continuous influx OF
foreigners into the mining regions OF
the United States may bring to an in.

other diseases that exist in mines in
parts of certain European countries.
Various questions that concern the
health OF workers IN mines, quarries
and m%etallurgical plants cannot be
answered finally without investiga-

the most efficient methods OF prevent

declares, as in the coal fields, averag'

that during the year more than 3d.
