CRISIS AT LYCEUM THEATER
Public Must Attend Shows or Com.
pany Must Leave CITY

l.
pany Must Leave City
Whether the Lyceum Musical Stock
company continues to entertain New
Britain audiences after Monday night
depends on the public. If support is
given, the company will remain; if the
audience continues to be below the
standard necessary to finance the
company, the curtain will be rlng
down for the season. The play Mon
day night will be THE Woman in 1 3 >"
in which a case of mistaken identity is
the plot. 1t is reported to be one Of
the funniest plays yet written.
Walter Wills, the comedian, is no
longer connected with the company,
having made his departure Thursday
night after the performance without
notifying Director Adrian c. Perrin.
1t is said that Wills demanded his
weeks wages during the performance
on Thursday night and refused to ap-
pear in the third act until he received
his money. Mr. Perrin gave him his
wages and after the performance Wills
had his trunk packed and left the city.
Mr.. Perrin was forced to jump in at a
few hours notice and fill WIS role
last night. Under the circumstances
he did very we'll is the opinion of
those who were present
Mr.. Perrin has attempted to give
New Britain the best in the stock line.
If he failed it is not his fault but the
fault of theatergoers. Unless more
interest is shown the company will
secure a divorce from New Britain on
the ground of non-support.

Man and FLIGHT.

Mathematicians have calculated that
man is too heavy ever to be sustained
in air by the power Of his own mus
cles. no matter how large the wings
are which he fastens to his body. The
weight limit is probably approached
by the largest birds. such as the Aus
tralian crane, which still flies. although
it weighs about twenty pounds. The
ostrich long ago gave up all hope of
winging it's way through the air. An
aeroplane can be built, say the experts.
which will sustain man and use but
three horsepower. but as the best ath-
letes can exert only maximum Of
about two horsepower for fifteen sec
onds at time he will always be de-
pendent OH a machine.

What is an ide?" 1t Is a natural
pitfall for modern generations. Even
Bulwer Lytton allowed one of his ko-

he must have known that "ides" is a
plural without singular. Why the
Romans called the 18th Of March. May,
July, October and the 18th of every
other month the ides they do not seem
to have known for certain themselves.
Some thought it meant the halfway

TIL. ,d,. Of tn. Balloon.

The first practical idea Of the bal
loon originated in the latter half of the
eighteenth century, when the Mont
golfer brothers, noticing how smoke
rose upward into the air, conceived the
idea Of filing bag with smoke. The
development Of this idea resulted In
the construction of the first hot air bal
loon in June, 1888. This consisted of a
spherical cloth bag about thirty-five
feet in diameter aud inflated over q
fire fed with bundles of chopped straw.
The next step was the use of hydrogen
gas, and the balloon was practically
invented as used today. The use Of
this gas was the idea Of NJ. Charles.
a professor Of natural philosophy at
Paris.

A Pecullarity Of carrots.

Although carrots are among the
most commonly cooked vegetables In
various forms-stewed, boiled. puree.
soups and introduced into ragouts,
braises and mirepoix yet they are
among the least digestible Of vegeta-
bles: but, strange to say. notwith-
standing their indigestibility, 20 far
az regards form and substance, they
are not known to cause any digestive
arrangement.
The great affection which cooks and
their masters have for carrots can only
be explained by their color. which
makes an impression on the eye. and
their flavor and sweetness, which
speak to the palate.-Pall Mall Ca
