CLEVELAND, Dec. 20.-Prof. Johr
R. Stockwell, of Case School of APP
piled Science, the first man to prove by
scientific calculations that DR.. Fred
erick Cook had failed to reach the
North Pole and whose scientific
works, written for the Smithsonian in
stitute, are world famous, at the age OF
eighty-two is racing with death.
For six years this aged student
whose rise from country boy with
practically no education to a pinnacle
in the world of mathematics and as
tronomy reads like fiction, has worked
increasingly on his last great problem
"a new theory of the tides. And now
he is afraid the grim reaper will win.
Professor Stockwell claims that in
solving this problem he will show the
real cause for the wonderfully regulat-
ed movement of the vast waters.
."My calculations have proved to me
that the present system of computing
the tides from the action of the moon
is wrong" said Professor Stockwell,
"but l must prove it to the world. It's
a slow task though. But l can't fail
in my last big effort for I've always
believed no man should leave behind
an uncompleted work. I only want
to finish my work, to solve my last
problem and hound out my life-then
I'll die happy"

O-N-NONA
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Broadway has
real Christmas play for the first time
in many seasons. Incidentally the
first sonw of the season, either stage
or natural, fell at the Maxine Elliott
theatre, when Things That Count
opened there the other night, succeed
ing THE Lure" of police and grand
jury fame. THE Things That Count
are children, which is as it should be
in Christmas play, and the piece is
itself one of the few things theatrical
that count in this season of failures
and near-6zzles.
The play has not much of plot; it
does not tax the intellect or the credul-
ity to follow it, and it is filled whit
just the right mixture of laughter and
tears, snivels and shrieks, which is
what the children and women, major
patrons of holiday plays, demand. Ger
tain it is that if "Old Scrooge" had
lived to Sc this pretty, thoroughly
wholesome play, the rafting chains
would have been superfuous in his
conversion from a human crab to
benevolent old gentleman. "a Christ
mas Carol" would be no misnomer
for 1.-THE Things That Count" except
that as a title it is a bit threadbare.
