Ancient STAGE to Be Used.

A more than usually interesting dra-
matte revival is announced for April
16, when the "Agamemnon" of Aes-
chylus will be performed in the an
cient Greek theater of Syracuse.
Nearly "a centuries have passed
since Hero | embellished his city with
the theater which tradition attributes
to the architect Democopor Myrilla.
Aeschyms must have taken refuge
in the court of Hero very soon after
its completion, and it may be conjec-
tured that the great trilogy, which be-
gan with the "Agamemnon," was
often performed on its stage; it is
known that the "Persae" was per
formed there and a work written for
Hero by Aeschylus, entitled the EFT
neae." of which no trace remains

Two Million Trout for Sire ans,

Denver.-Two million young trout at
the Denver state hatchery near Sand
Creek are almost ready for distribu-
tion in Colorado streams. If it were
not for the cannabalistic tendency o.
these fish many of the young ones
could be distributed now. But the
state must be careful where it puts
the tiny trout. If there are big ones
around they will eat the little fellows.
SO the government must pay for the
keep of the younger generation until
they are large enough to care for
themselves Governor Ammons made
an inspection of the Denver hatchery
and found the young trout in excellent
condition. Part of them will probably
be distributed within the next two or
three weeks
