When Mr.. George Kleine first produced
the Clnes QUO VADfS," it was a revela-
ton in photo drama and the whole world
marvelled at its imposing beauty and
spectacular grandeur. 1t marked an
epoch in the new art and established a
standard Mr.. Kleine promised more
and newer productions that would surPass
"QUO VADIS," and public and press i'm
mediately said impossible QUO VADlS',
is a lreak-an accident it cannot be doue
again." But since then Mr.. Klelne brought
out the Ambresie version of "fHE LAST
DAYS OF POMPEII," which again ex-
cited the admiration and wonderment OF
the public anI made them realize that
perhaps he would be able TO iulhll his
promises. Now he launches the Cines
photo drama "ANTHONY AND CLEO.
PATRA," pronounced by all who have
seen il, the most wonderful achievement
yet in photo drama, far excelling all It's
predecessors-an amazing unity of dramatic
power and Spectacular beauty. Mr..
Kleine's production of the tines photo
drama "ANTHONY AND CLEOpATRAb
will be seen here at the Providence Opera
House for an indefinite engagement, COM

Few Beds In Baudad.

About GO per cent OF Bagdad's pop
ulation possess no beds. These poor
people rest on blankets spread on the
floors Of their houses In the winter
and on the roofs I'm the summer. Owing
to the excessive heat Of these regions
sleep is made impossible elsewhere
than on the roof or in the open gar
dens. 1t is an interesting sight to see
how the women at sunset emerge from
their houses to prepare the evening
meal on the roof and spread the bed
ding for the night. lnasmuch as the
climate is very dry, there is little to
fear from exposure to the night air.
While considerable number of the
roofs are surrounded by latticework
to insure a certain amount Of privacy.
by far the larger number are quite ex-
posed TO the gaze of curious and in
quisitive neighbors.

SENSITIVE SEISM0GRAPHs.
They Serve Other Purposes Than Re-
cording Earthquakes.

Contrary TO popular belief earth
luakes are by no means rare occur
rences. AS matter of fact. practically
all places on the surfin'e OF The cart II
experience some KIND al tr.lnor or
shake at least once nm hour. and lesser
tremblings are even more frequent.
This fact has been established since
the opening throughout the world of
stations where seismograplls record the
slightest movement Of this earth Of
ours
The seismographs can be made to
serve several other useful purposes
besides the recording OF eartbquakes
Some Of them are SO delicate that a
railroad train running mile away will
affect them.
SelsmOgraph records have frequently
been produced In court To show that the
operation OF heavy machinery produced
sufficient vibration in near by buildings
to make the owners Of the factory liza
bic for damages.
Probably the most unusual purpose
TO which the seismOgraph has ever
been put is that Of determining the
amount Of vibration in n locomotive as
a result Of unbalanced driving wheels.
Engineers have devised some ingen-
ious methods of cutting down this vi.
bration. which means greatly de-
creased consumption Of coal.-New

TALKING FROM THE CHEST.
Not Necessary to Put a Telephone
Transmitter to the Mouth.

Not Necessary to Put a Telephone
Transmitter to the Mouth.
In case one does not care to stoop
to a telephone while talking. or does
not care to put the transmitter to the
mouth, be can make himself heard by
very simple means. Simply place the
abdomen or the chest against the
mouthpiece Of the transmitter and talk
into the open air, and the sound will
get to the party on the other end. The
whole chest wall and the wall OF the
abdomen vibrate In unison when the
mouth Is speaking, as they are great
sounding board, and they will transmit
the proper sound waves to the dia-
phragm. This is easy to try and as
tonishing In result.
Another peculiar thing noticed In
telephones at times Is phantom talk
heard In a receiver when one Ia wait
ing for central to give connection. Odd
scraps Of conversations may be heard
In this manner. They are probably
due to conversations going on over
wires lying in close proximity to the
one that you are using-such conver-
sations causing small oscillating cur
rents which. by the process Of induc-
ton. cause small oscilating currents
to take place in your line Of like char
