PREPARED PLAYS WITH CARE
Memoirs Show Sardou to Have Been
One of the Most Painstaking OF
Writers for the Stage.

more than once in his letter and
pamphlets Sardou has described his
methods of work." says Jerome A.
Hart in his "Sardou and the Sardou
Plays" Whenever an idea occurred
to him he Immediately made mem
orandum of it. These notes he classi-
fed and filed. For example, years be-
fore the production of 'Thermidor' he
had the thought of one day writing
such play. Gradually the character
of Fabienne shaped itself; Labussiere
was devised later to fit Coquelin. Ev-
erything that he read about that epoch
of the French revolution, and the ideas
which this reading inspired, he wrote
down in the form of rough notes. En-.
cravings, maps, prints and other doc
uments of the time he carefully collect,
ed
Memoirs and histories he annotated
and indexed, filing away the index ref.
erences in his file cases or dossiers.
At the time OF his death Sardou had
many hundreds of these dossiers, old
and new. Some of the older ones had
been worked up into plays, while the
newer ones were merely raw material
for future dramas. When the idea of
play had measurably shaped itself
in his mind he wrote out skeleton
plot, which he placed in it's dossier.
There it might lie indefinitely. In
this shape 'Thermidor' remained for
nearly twenty years, and Theodore
for ten.
"When he considered that the time
was ripe for one of his embryonic
plays Sardou would take out that par
ticular dossier, read over the mate
rial, and lay it aside again. After it
had fermented in his brain for time
he would, if the inspiration seized him,
write out scenario. After this he be-
gan the actual writing of the play"

MOST RAPID GROWER KNOWN
Has Been Proved That Turnip Seed
Gains Fifteen Times Its Own
Weight in One Minute.

1t has been said that the seed of the
globe turnip when growing increases
It's own weight Is times within min
ute. The seed of this turnip is ex-
ceedingly minute, being not larger
than the twentieth part of an inch in
diameter, and yet in the course of a
few months the seed will be developed
by the soil into 100000 times the
bulk of the original, and this in addi-
ton to a considerable bunch of leaves.
On peat ground turnips have been
found to increase by growth 1890
times the weight of their seed each
day they stood.
The fungi offer an instance of re-
markably rapid growth. The great
puff ball will attain the size of pump
kin in a single night, and Lindley cal
culated that the cells wereof it is COM
posed will multiply at the rate of Co.,
100000 a minute.
Many seeds terminate in a very
short period-the cress in two days;
spinach, turnips and kidney beans IN
three days; lettuce in four; melons
and gourds in five; most of the grain
seed in week; hyssop at the end OF
. month. But others remain for a
very long period without showing
signs Of termination.

HIGH PRICED STEERS

One of the resources of our coun-
try on which we are all forced to
depend is the cattle industry and
we read in the daily press of cattle
on the hoof bringing as high as 12c
per pound or $148 for a single steer.
These high prices for live cattle
are caused by the shortage Of cat

Lake mountains and on a spur line OF
the Salt Lake route running from Lebi

to the southeast side of the Oquirrh

Bingham. A theory that the man had
gone into the Jordan narrows and was
headed northward was secuted by the
sheriffs last night as being improbable.
In support of their theory they claim
that the man has heretofore been able
to e1ude his pursuers only by staying
in the mountains or near them and
that IN all likelihood he would continue
TO do so.
