Iondon,s Destructive Atmosphere.

The smoke and SCOT that are always
in the atmosphere there are 5000 tons
of SCOT hanging over London every
day. contain lots of sulphur, and this
sulphur when 1t meets certain sub
stances forms sulphuric acid or vitriol.
1t was the vitriol in the atmosphere
that brought the great roof of Charing
Cross station down with a crash few
years ago. The engine smoke had eat

GENTLY painted. And some years ago.
before the London underground was
electrified, 1t was great joke at one
of the stations for passengers to go and
poke umbrellas into a certain iron
girder, which at one point was nearly
as soft as putty. Paint is in such cases
the engineers great standby. In some
ways paint is more powerful than iron.
Many London buildings might be said
to be practically held together by paint.

Lana WiIlie's Retort.

A Scotch caddie is almost certain to
be a shrewd observer of men and
things. and he is frequently gifted with
a sharp tongue of his own.
Lang Willie was for many years a
well known figure on the st. Andrews
golf links. On the occasion of Louis
Kossuth's visit to St Andrews a pub
lie dinner was given in his honor, and
Willie applied for ticket to the bailie
who was in charge of the arrange
ments. The worthy man CURLY re-
fused the application, saying to Willie
that it was mo place for the likes Of
him to be at the dinner"

THE TUDOR THEATRE.

One of the most beautiful interiors
that have ever been shown in any thea
ire in the city of New Orleans is now
exhibited in the new Tudor Theatre,
the last production of the Pearce's. We
cannot say that it is novelty, for that
would not express nor would it give a
fair description of the decorations, but
that the entire arrangement is work
of art will be recognized at once by
those who have an artistic eye and will
be admired with wonder by those who
merely take in at a glance beauty of
construction.
The lighting is so much out Of the
ordinary as to cause special comment
and Notwithstanding that faces are
readily recognized from one end Of the
house to the other and that the beauti-
full paintings and frescoes may also be
admired, still there is no interference
with viewing the motion pictures.
Added to this grand place is the big
pipe organ, which furnishes that mu-
sic, which is so essential to the enjoy
ment of motion pictures. Mr.. Pearce,
Jr., whom we are informed is the orig
inator of the peculiar construction, de.
serves special compliments for what
he has done and there is but little
doubt but what the decorations as well
as the general makeup of the theatre
will be readily copied. To make an
improvement to this interior would be
to take from it some of its magnifi-
cence. 1t must be seen to be appreci-
ated. 1t is credit to the city Of New
Orleans. 1t is a credit to Mr.. Pearce,
who deserves the congratulations of
his fellow citizens.

FINGER PRINTS LEAD TO ARREST
A MISSOURI MURDER MYSTERY
CLEARED UP.
Livingston County Prosecutor Says
Youth Admits Killing His
Father at Avalon.

Chillicothe, Mo-, Feb. 8.-The eff.
cacy Of llnger prints as means OF
Identification in criminal cases was
proven here when murder mystery,
now fourteen months old, was cleared
up. After three days under fire by
Prosecuting Attorney E. l.. Marshall
of Livingston county. Lee Hoyt, the
21-year-old son of Edward Hoyt, veal
thy cattleman, who was murdered at
his farm in Avalon, near Chillicothe,
November %, 1911, admitted the kill
ing, according TO the prosecutor.
On the night of the killing Edward
Hoyt shipped some cattle to Kansas
City. He and friend parted within
a half mile of Hoyt's home, and that
was the last time he was seen alive.
Early the next morning the son re.
ported finding his fathers body in the
barn. 1t was shown that the body,
after the killing. had been dragged
by the feet to the position where it
was found.
A detective agency in Kansas City
was employed on the case At the
time it was shown that the murderer
had not left the barn by the door,
which was toward the house, but had
climbed out over the stalls into a rum
way and had left by another en-
txance. Blood stains were found in
the name of the elder Hoyt's white
riding horse. Prints of bloody
hand also showed on the woodwork |
and on galvanized iron tank which |
the slayer had touched in leaving the |
barn.
A. month ago Captain F. H. Tillot.
son of the Kirk Detective Agency, |
Kansas City, went to work on the
case. Finger prints still distinctly |
impressed on a board in the barn
were photographed. Captain Tillot-
son then set to work to take the fin |
ger prints of several alleged suspects |
in the vicinity, among them the son,
Lee, whose arrest followed the com.
parison of the photograph with his |
prints of four fingers.
