Wants to Be Another payloya

Lydia Kyasht has aspirations to be
another Pavlova, as have, | suppose,
countless other dancers with much less
ability back of them. She is really a
very finished dancer with a technique
possessed by few performers. Moreover,
she is one of the most beautiful of the
many girls who depend primarily upon
the agility of their feet. legs and arms
for their livelihood. In face and in form
she is what used to be known in the
United States as "a peach" but which
probably is by this time known by some
even more expressive term.
Lydia was married before she came to
the Empire. otherwise. 1t is safe to say,
she would have fascinated a coronet or
two and captured one for keeps long be-
fore this time But beauty Is not every
thing on the stage and Lyra lacked that
distinctive personality Which Is the great
charm of Genee and Pavlova and without
which the highest places in popular favor
are denied forever to performer. How
ever, she is coming to see you next jan
uary for a six months season, so you
can check what | have said.

PAINLESS DEATH
FOR INCURADLES
Famous Berlin Chemists
Scheme for Euthanasia.
Many Drawbacks

Berlin August 22.=tsp tspeciaLp-pr. VII
helm ostwald TIE celebrated professor of
chemistry in the University of Leipzig,
has published in Das Monistische Jahr-
hundert curious plea for the right of
dying persons to commit suicide.
Ia conjunction with Professor Haeekel
OF Jena, Professor ostwald is the leader
of the Monist movement and recently ad=
voeated the establishment Of Monist mon
asteries where members Of the Monist
persuasion could retire from the world.
Professor ostwald prints. with his ap-
proval, a sketch written by dying
Monist named Roland GerSan. The main
provisions of this law are that incurahles
shall have the right Of euthanasia, and
that this right shall be the subject of a
petition by sick person to the judicial
authorities
These authorities would in consequence
of this petition Investigate the case by
means of three physicians. two of them
specialists. This investigation would take
place not later than a week after the re-
ceipt of the petition, and the cominisEion
of physicians would have to decide
whether death or lasting health were the
more probable. In the former case the
commission gives the sick person the
right Of euthanasia; in the latter case
this right is refused. Whoever PAIN
essly kills an ineurable person who had
received this right Is exempt from pun
shment.
Should euthanasia be effected without
the express wish of the sick person. it is
crime punishable with penal servitude.
The great difficulty. of course, in car
rying out this idea Is that it shocks our
traditional notions of humanity and is op-
posed to the religious and moral la wof
Christianity Further, 1t presupposes an
absolutely infallible commission of ply
sicians and the absolute singleness of
purpose of the relatives and friends of
the sick person Moreover, the wishes
and ideas of hopelessly sick persons are
often subject to alteration and today S
wish for euthanasia may be followed by
tomorrows wish for life.

comment on a maritime custom Of that
country:

ger. all who wish to escape envelOp
themselves each in a skin, sew up this
skin so as to make it as far as possible
watertight, then throw themselves into
the sea, and fiocks of the great eagles,
called grifins, thinking that they are
really oxen, will descend and bear them
on their wings 10 some mountain or val
