as we'll as an excellent translation
of Goethe's "Egmont," have been sue
cessfully given thus far. Heretofore
the modern Turkish theaters have
presented almost exclusively French
drama. and with small success. The
great tide of pro.German feeling in
Constantinople at present is materl-
ally aiding the new venture.
Berlin, Aug. MISUNDERSTANDING
many obvious reasons why it might
not be So, Berlin is, it claims. today
the most brilliantly lighted capital OF
the world. The claim is not made be-
cause Of darkened Paris and London
The claim is that under no sort OF
conditions is any other city as well
or efficiently Illuminated.
Its brilliant gas lamps have been in
creased in number from 1000 to close
on to 5000 with a can%dle-power OF
$1,000, 900. To this unit in efficiency
have been added the most u~p.to.date
methods of artificial lighting and ex'
tinguishing the burners. This latter
is accomplished by suddenly increas'
ing the pressure at the central plant
| which turns a switch in each gburner
and automatically starts or stops the
flame.
Berlin, Aug. THE Emperor Will
liam is probably godfather to more
boys than any other person on earth
but he is so well able to stand up un'
der the strain that he has issued an
order that presently will increase the
number of his proteges. The rule
formerly has been that he would as
sumo the responsibility of being god
father to a seventh son born to any
family provided the boy was seventh
son by one and the same marriage
Under this ruling many seventh sons
have had to do without the honor, be
cause the mother had been twice mar
ried. The Emperor now as modified
the rule and announced that he will be
come godfather to any seventh son
regardless of the number of marriages
the mother has contracted, provided
all seven boys are living.
