ELECTRIC SPARK TRAVELS
1000 MILES TO PANAMA

Washington. Oct. 11.-An cleo
trio spark. originating when Presi-
dent Wilson pressed a button in
the white house. sped more than
four thousand miles overland and
under water and ignited the i'm
mense charges of dynamite that
practically removed the last oo-
struction in the Panama cana.
Electrical experts calculated that.
within four seconds after President
Wilson pressed the button, the
current threw a small switch at
the Gambia dyke, which, in turn,
started other apparatus that fur
.rshed the current for exploding
the charge.
Elaborate preparations had been
made by the Western Union Tele-
grab company and the Central and
South american Telegraph COM
pany for almost instantaneous
nal. From Washington to Calves
ton Tex. 1856 miles, a single wire
carried the spark. There 1t was
taken up instantaneoi.sly by sen-
sitsve repeating instruments and

UNCHANGING HUMAN FRAME.
Anatomists Have Found No Apprecia
BILE Alterations in Several
Thousand Years.
(Kansas City Starr

(Kansas City Starr.
A discussion has arisen recently
over the brain capacity of the ancient
person, fragments of whose skull were
dug up in England not long 8 and
became known as the -Piltdown skull.
The first reconstruction Of the skull
indicated an exceedingly small brain
capacity. But when a famous anato.
mist. Dr, Arthur Keith, examined into
the matter. he reported that a proper
reconstruction would show q skull OF
normal size.
The fact is that the anatomists
haven't found, any particular change
in the human frame in the last rev
years ago that the British, national
But an exhaustive series Of COMPARE
sons proved, as Prof. Karl Parsons
said. '".that the average Englishman
of today is certainly o behind his
Anglo-Saxon ancestor" A twentieth
century man could wear his ancestors
armor If he had to.
The only bodily features that are
undergoing changes that have been
observed. as Prof. Keith says in his
History Of the Human Body" are
those Of the throat and jaw and per-
haps Of the lower intestines.
He has examined more than n
hundred skulls of Neolithic people
people who lived In Britain our thou
sand years ago or more---and has seer
only one with a contracted palate and
irregular teeth. Contraction in the
width Of the face and distractions Of
the nose and throat are fairly common
nowadays. The change Prof. Keith at
tributes to the less vigorous jaw action
required by modern diet. The worm
down teeth Of ancient mar bear wit
ness to the time when he ate shreds
Of tough. raw meat.
Appendicitis and certain other in.
festival affections the professor is dis
posed to attribute to this same change
from q raw to a cooked diet. OF other
signs Of physical change he finds no
evidence.
The human body has proved mar

keith To CELEBRATE
80 YEARS OF SUCCESS
Vaudeville Masnste Opened First
Show in 1SS3-Midset Initial
Headliner.
ALL HOUSES TO PARTICIPATE

The thirtieth anniversary Of his career
in the theatrical business will be cele-
brated next month by B. F. Keith. In
that month. in the year 1SSs. he began as
manager for a midget whom he exhibited
in Boston store. Today the salaries OF
actors booking through the United Book
ing Offices, OF which he Is president,
amount to $4,000 a week and more.
Mr.. Keith was born about fifty years
ago in New Hampshire and was farm
boy until he was seventeen years old.
Then he went TO the big cities to make
his fortune. First he tried the circuses
and had a rough and tumble existence
there for a time, in Van Amberg's and
other famous enterprises of the day.
All this time the bee OF the "continu-
Gus performance had been buzZing in
the back OF his head and in 1885 he took
IL out and put II to work. This idea he
got from p. T. Barnum. who had shows
morning, afternoon and evening at his
museum in Philadelphia.
To start with. he acquired an interest
in the Gayety Musee in Boston, where.
on July 5. 1885. at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, there began a performance that last
ed practically continuously until IL o'clock
that night. Some of Mr.. Keith's old en-
ployes objected. TO the innovation. but
when they learned that the receipts had
increased $50 the first day, they didn't
object to doing their stunts two or three
times a day, especially since they got
more money for 1t.
In 1886 Mr.. Keith's fortunes were on
the rise, and the continuous vaudeville
plan had been accepted by the public.
or his first continuous house in Boston
Mr.. Keith likes to tell a story OF a coun-
tryman spending four months inside
watching the performances and sending
out for meals and clothes as he needed
them.
Among the actors who have been en-
ployed by Mr.. Keith are Weber and
Fields, who got something like so a
week when that was pretty good money
for vaudeville. David warfield once ac--
cepted SIS a week from him. Now he
would have to pay quite a bit more for
such talent. The highest salary he has
ever paid, he says, was last season to
Sarah Bernhardt when she played at
the Palace Theater.
In may, 1906. Mr.. Keith combined with
F. F. Proctor. his principal rival in
vaudeville, and until 1911, when the part
nership was dissolved. they controlled a
big string OF theaters known as the
Keith and Proctor houses. In 1903 the
United Theaters Securities Company was
formed. with Keith and Proctor at the
head of II.
On October 80. this year, Mr.. Keith
married Miss Ethel Bird Chase daughter
of p. B. Chase, the Washington vaude-
Vile man. They are now at Mr.. Keith's
winter home at Miami, Fla.
During anniversary week special bills
will be presented at all Keith theaters
and souvenirs will be given to patrons
