HOWE TRAVEL FESTIVAL
TO BE SHOWN TWO DAYS

Some one has said how learned

exhibition of Howe's Travel Festival"
Mr.. Howe's exhibition surely justifies
such statement. 1t Is in fact a veri-

Mr.. Howe promises the finest repro
duction that his staff of photographers
have ever produced for the enjoyment
OF the legion of patrons In over 500
cities where his semi annual visits are
eagerly looked forward to many weeks

so varied in subject matter that spec
tators are fairly lost in the dizzy whirl
of world events. The notwithstanding
itinerary is only stopped now and then
to view some new marvel of science or
some delightful little farce in clever
animated cartoons to afford amuse

UNIQUE PLAN TO BE USED in
BIG MYSTERY FEATURE
Public to Be Invited to Write the Ending Of
New Serial and PhstopIay

One of the most curious experiments
in psychology-the psychology Of the
crowd and the individual combined, is
about to be tried in a serial story and
its photoplay for the purpose of in
teresting the public in very big pro-
duction-perhaps the biggest that has
vet been attempted. The proposition
is nothing more or less than to present
"a big serial play without a last act
story without a last chapter. And
|let somebody in the crowd that sees
all the pictures-and reads all the
story-supply the conclusion
The plan is one of the simplest and
boldest that has ever been attempted,
and it avoids the objections to the
usual prize story contest in that there
is no guesswork or puzzle about 1t. The
entire story has been written and is
being produced-all of 1t except the
last chapter. The man who has writ
ten the story hasn't the slightest idea
how to end it. He is not paid to end
it. The pictures are to be shown and
the public invited, individually. to
write an end. The best ending thus
obtained Will Uo uSco " AihiSii eio
story and the play. And the person
who writes 1t will be paid the sum Of
$4,000 for his or her work. That is
the plan, and it is promised that the
plan will be carried out to the letter.
MacGrath the Author.
Harold MacGrath, the author of THE
Man on the Box" THE Adventures of
Kathlyn," and many other popular
stories, was chosen to write the play,
and the Thanhouser company, with its
superb cast of all-star actors, was Sc
kected to produce the photoplay Lloyd
.onegran, the scenario writer, Is the d.
rector.
This big mystery feature is called
"'The Million Dollar Mystery" 1t will
be published in the Sunday Capital
News each Sunday. The photoplay Of
this interesting serial will be shown at
the Majestic theater, formerly the Au-
ditorium, on Tenth street, between
Main and Grove, on Friday and Satur-
day of each week
The scenes in the story have been
photographed in various sections of TIE
country, and some extraordinary per-
sonages have been introduced in the
cast. The Duke of Manchester, for in
stance, when a visitor at the Than

TWO MULTIPLE REEL
FEATURES ON BILL AT
MAJESTIC THIS WEEK

For the first three days Of this week
the Majestic theater will present a
very exceptional and entertaining pro-
gram. THE Mohammedan Conspir-
acy," a twoereel drama by the Than
houser company, deals with the Eng
lish and Egyptian diplomatic relations
and Oriental intrigue and adventure.
There is conspiracy under way over
in Egypt and Lord Trevor's faithful
servant IL dispatched there to find out
just what is going on He discovers
the plot but his purpose and indemnity
being also discovered, he is captured
and thrown into dungeon. Not hear
ing from his faithful servant Lord
Trevor sends his ward to find the
servant. She DISCUSSES herself as an
Arab boy. She discovers the Servant
and the plot but the conspirators are
very aggressive and learn of her mis-
sion. The conspirators concoct a rather
unique and fiendish plot to murder all
the English in Egypt. The settings
and backgrounds contain an Oriental
atmosphere. This is a very good ano
exceptional picture played by a Than
houser all-star cast, including James
Cruzc. Florence La Babe. Davit

WALRUS WAS CAUTION
ATE HIMSELF TO DEATH

Ephraim, the huge walrus of the
New York Geological Park, afflicted
with multitude of hookworms,
died OF sheer laziness. superinduced
by the most voracious appetite ever
possessed by any animal.
He was caught near Etah, Green
land, by Paul Raihey, and was pre-
sented to the park four years ago
At that time he weighed 149 pounds,
but he began eating his way to an
early death on the day he arrived
Eating was continuous perform
ance with Ephraim, both awake and
asleep, until he became so fat that
it panied him to move.
He weighed 500 pounds on the
day of his death. In the last four
months his weight increased at the
rate of half a pound a day.
He was possibly the most expen-
sive animal on exhibition at the
park. He ate forty pounds of clam
meat, and other items of expense
were the labor of preparing the
food, the frequent cleaning of his
tank and adding sea salt to the wa
ter. so that the cost of keeping Eph-
RAIN was equal to that of two large
elephants.
OF late the walrus never attempt
ed to move away from the pan of
clam meat upon which he fed. I'm
less it was kept continuously full he
raised a howl, which sent all the
other animals into throes of nervous
excitement. He frequently went to
sleep with his jaw in the feeding

UNCLE SAM GREAT PRODUCER

The age in which we live has wit
messed many wonders, and not the
least of these was the discovery OF
gasoline, which made possible the
CONQUEST of the air and the inven-
ton of the automobile. The iiuid

well as In peace, for 1t is the motive

of other varieties.
Half century ago gasoline was
considered waste product OF petro-
leum. and was thrown away. Then
II was sold in small quantities to be
used as a cleaning fluid.
A Frenchman, German and an
American share in the glory OF the
introduction of that fluid which has
made this the gasoline era, and the
Frenchman has the priority.
II was forty-six years ago, sep
TENDER 2, 1868, that the Frenchman'
pierre Joseph Raval. filed in the
patent Office of the French Imperial
government a description OF steam

Its purpose was to provide steam To-

coyery. but the Franco-Prussian war
broke out. and he was forced to go
10 the front. After the conclusion
of that struggle, however, Raval con-
tinued his experiment and helped TO
usher in the horseless age by con-
structing a car in which petroleum
oil was used for the direct genera
ton of power.
In 1876 German engineer. Lentz'
began working on the problem OF
the utilization of gasoline and other
waste products of petroleum.
This worthless mixture was called
massout and was produced in large
quantities by the Russian oil REIN
cries at Baku. Lentz invented the
massout burner, and massout was
soon adopted as the fuel for nearly
all the steamships on the Caspian
and adjacent waters. Many years
later the Kaiser's government made
use of Lentz's burner in its naval
vessels with great success.
1t remained for George b. Shell

problem of the successful use OF
gasoline in connection with automo-
biles. German inventors who were

correctness of his theory Is to be
