At the New National Theater. for one
special matinee Thursday afternoon, Lii
liam Russell, radiant and brilliant in
beauty. will appear in a new form OF
entertainment. She purposes to tell a
few facts TO men as well as to women
concerning health, mental as well as
physical. with the object,of proving that
each has within him or sher. the power
to live a hundred years. and die young.
by faithfully following the laws of nature.
Miss Russell is to have the assistance
OF some remarkable colored motion pic
lures, which she believes will serve as an
illustrative exposition of her theories and
contentious. The entertainment promises
to be unique in many respects.
According to the lecturer, dress plays
a material part in ones physical we'll
being To prove her point she intends
to show herself in costume blazing with
Jewels, valued at an enormous sum, and
then in direct contrast she will appear
ROBBED simply and with only few pearls
for ornament. By discarding' overpower-
ing gems Miss Russell removes years
from her apparent age.

afternoon. March %. Mr.. Standby will
present the Rocco variations by Tschai-
kowsky.
The program for the concert is of
special interest. as it marks the first pres
entation of the first American rhap-
sodie, Sioux Indian Sun Dance" COM
posed by Heinrich Hammer the conduc-
tor of the orchestra. This work was
written with view to preserving the VAL
liable melodies of the Indians in a num-
SSer of larger compositions for orchestra.
Mr.. Hammer has retained the original
melodies throughout, clothing the entire
composition in modern musical thought;
the aim being to construct an artwork
free from commonplace tonality. Out of
thirty-three melodies to select from Mr..
Hammer decided upon ten as being rep
resentative of each group. The success
sion of these melodies is: Song for Sc
curing Fair Weather" Victory Over the
Sacred Pole" After Raising the Sacred
Pole Opening Song of the Sun Dance, ;"
Opening Prayer" .'The Great Spirit

Where the Earth'a Crust Is Thinnest.
 ''Italy is visited by an excessive number of earthquakes and volcanic disturbances because it is the newest part of the eart1l's surface declares M. Peprett of Paris, French geolo- .gist of authority. People, especially those living in the western henis- phere, look upon Europe and all of the eastern hemisphere, in fact, as the 'old world, z which, taken one way, is right. But in the matter of the formation of the earth's crust, which geolog1stS now agree is the result of the cooling of the great molten mass that makes our earth. it so happened that the section round about Italy was the last to cool and consequently has not yet cooled to so great a depth as other portions of the world. This, then, makes Italy the newest part of the worlds surface, if our geologists are correct in their es- timation regarding the tardiness in the cooling of that particular section.- New York American.
