A new piece of agricultural appara'
tus has been developed for the purpose
Of combating the destructive bugs and
undesirable vegetable growths by an
apple alton of steam to the soil pene-
traring some distance below the sur
face The machine carries steam gen
Grating plant and moves over the sur
face on large drum, the periphery OF
which is staggered with protruding
stream outlets in the shape of blades
or spines. AS the apparatus is drawn
over the ground the spines imbed them
selves in the soil and while in this po-
sition the steam is released and pene-
trates the soil for some distance around
the outlet, killing the worms, larvae and
bugs and the undesirable crop of weeds
which seed themselves from one sea-
son to another.

PLAZA.

Katherine Dana's Fisher Folk have been secured by the management of the Plaza to headline the vaudeville program for the latter half of the week in their delightful scenic singing pro- duction in which the services of ten capable young artists are required. The title of the offering is Summer Visit ors'' and the scenic establishment is positively gorgeous. Many strikingly pretty young women appear in the act and the repertoire employed is a deli- cious treat for music lovers. It is ex- pected to prove the most elaborate production of the. present season.
 Jofolla and Arnold in a clever sing ing and talking skit will have little diff hcuty in winning favor while '"rhe Rube," comedy sketch in the hands of Joe Kettler and company should be enthusiastically received by all lovers of mirth.
 The Bulger Brothers in a singing and banjo diversion complete the vaudeville attractions.
 Dorothy Gish, the fascinating young screen star, is featured in, the Trian- gle's most recent accomplishment, "Atta Boys Last Race,'' a five part story of races and the race track thatfis sched- uled to please the most fastidious fan. Everybody loves a snappy racing tale and Alta Boys Last Race" is one of the most exciting pictures of its type eyer produced.
 A Key}tone comedy in two uproar- lously funny acts will also be presented

Funny Fish Becoming
 Staple of German Diet

Berlin, Nov. e.-All Berlin these days is living lin the sign of the tun- ny fish'-the best substitute for gen. uine meat that has been discovered since there began to be restriction of the regular meat supply. On ''meat1ess" as we'll as other days tunny now occupies a respectable place on the bill-of-fare of every big Berlin restaurant, and great quanti- ties of it are being eaten.
 One large and very we'll patronized cafe, for instance, offers. each Tues day and Friday, under the heading of Meat Dishes," the following four items: ''Fricasee of tunny with rice, Funny Schnitzel with peas, carrots and fried potatoes, German beefsteak of tunny fish with spinach and fried potatoes, Funny goulash."
 The meat of the tunny is coarse and somewhat strong, or game, and too much of it pals. But it is never theless an excellent substitute for meat, and likewise a relief from tho finer fish that grows very tiresome if eaten week in and week out. The supply of tunnys is said to come prin- cipally from the Adriatic

LYRIC

The impression thus far registered by the Lyric Stock Players. and the constant increase of attendance is most gratifying to Manager Isham. This week, the excellent organization are presenting William J.. Hurlburt's most unusual play, ''The Writing on the Wall," which is a most absorbing tale of life and conditions of the tene- ment districts of the lower section of New York. the story and !zcidents of which are based on actual facts. 1t shows how the efforts of the settle ment workers meet with success in bettering the living conditions of the poor classes of that zone. Miss Ethel Waldron, the leading lady, does splen- did work as Barbara Lawrence; as does David Herb1in, the popular young leading man, in the part of Lincoln Schuyler. Arthur Vinton, an actor of sterling qualities, gives splendid per- formance of Irving Lawrenece," and as Harry" Master Davenport Left wich gave manly rendition of a part of considerable importance to the story of the play. Rita w. Harlan as Stella, Trainor," Margaret Armstrong as .Muriel Lawrence; Flow Murray as Christine; William Evarts, as John Trainor''; F'ranke s. Peck, as "Gordon Payne" all were excellent, in fact the entire cast was admirable. The production was a superb one, complete in every detail and carefully presented under the stage direction of Alexander Leftwich. Meanwhile ex- fensive preparations are in progress Tor next weeks big dramatic sensa- honal melo-drama, '"The Revolt" an absorbing story of existence in the underworld, and ''red light districts of the great metropolis. "The Revolt" is described as a modern play with a sound, smashing punch" and more powerful than "The Lure' and 'The Easiest Way combined.
