Up to date, fifteen or sixteen
dogs have been poisoned in a
neighborhood comprising about
four city blocks square. The

belonging to Miss M. D. Cole,

Believe Me, Xantippe'
At The Denham

During the last month the
Denham audiences have been
regaled with new plays of an
unusual quality. The response
Of the public has been most alert
and generous. The popular fam
lily theatre has held large and de-
lighted audiences. We have had
the gripping sensational drama
in 'On Trial" the elegantly po-
lte drama with its problem in
"Outcast,' the detective drama
in The Dummy, and now we
are to have next week the Har-
ward prize play, Believe Me,
Xantippe."
This is one of the gayest and
most rollcking tarces OF the
year. 1t ran for a long time III
New York and was the sparkling
success OF last season. Thai II
is coming here so soon proves
now quick the management OF
Of the Denham is to secure the
JeSt obtaInable at the earliest
possible moment.
"Believe Me, Xantippe" tells
vi a wager made by rich New
Yorker who l. q non believer in
detectives acumen that he can
commit crime IN big city and
escape being caught Tor "A period
of one year He therefore
Iorges a check and the chief of
the detectives cashes it. The
criminal is hunted high and low
but he skillfully evades the pc.
lice. This gives opportunity for
some serious as well as laugh
able complications in which a
girl deputy sheriff figures, to the
confusion of many characters.
The year is nearly up when the
culprit falls into the hands of
Dolly kamnan. daughter of a
Colorado sheriff. Here the fun
is fast and furious, the dashing
farce goes with uprorious
merriment. The wrong criminal
is finally caught and in the end
MacFarland, the wealthy New
Yorker, practically wins his
wager.
This leading character will be
a great part for MIR. Halliday.

Current Relations for Parallel Circuit
II two pipes of the same size and
same length be connected in parallel
and the coordination in turn connected
to a pump, the current of water in
each of the pipes will be the same,
since they each offer the same resist
ance and the same pressure is acting
on each of them. If, however, one Of
the pipes be longer than the other,
their size being the same, or If one
pipe be smaller than the other, their
lengths being the same, the current Of
water in the two pipes will not be the
same. The current OF water in the
pipe which offers the greater resist
ance will be less than the current of
water in the pipe which offers the less
resistance For example, IL the re-
sistance of one pipe is twice as great
as the resistance OF the other pipe,
then the current in it will be one-half
as great as the current in the other
pipe. 49,. -. ... - II. -.
II two equal electrical resistances
be connected in parallel they will each
carry the same current. For example,
if two 12-volt headlights of the same
make and same candle power be con-
nected in. parallel to a 12-volt battery
the current in each of the lamps will
be practically the same. The total
current supplied by the battery will
be equal to the sum of the currents
IN the two branches, II, however, two
resistances which are unequal in va.
lue be connected in parallel the cur
rent in the resistances will not be the
same - IL
The branch of the divided circuit
having the larger resistance will carry
the smaller current, while the branch
of the divided circuit having the
smaller resistance will carry the larger
current. The total current supplied to
the divided circuit will be equal to
the sum of the currents in the two
branches, regardless of whether these
are equal or not. Thus, if two 6-yolt
lamps which take currents of 3 and
amperes. respectively, be connected
in parallel to the terminals of g.
volt battery the total current taken
by the lamp will be equal to-3 plus 2,
or amperes. ~.. i.
From the above discussion it is OBJ
vious that lamps made to operate on
different voltages cannot be operated
satisfactorily in parallel, because II
the voltage is adjusted to the proper
value for one lamp it is not correct
tor the other. In the case OF the series
circuit the lamps had to take the
same current in order to operate sat
isfactorily in series. &c..
The relation of the currents in the
two branches of a divided circuit is
Just the reverse of the relation be.
tween the resistanceS of the two
branches of a divided circuit are 4
and. ohms, respectively. then the
current. in the 4-ohm branch will be
twice as great as the current in the
8 ohms, since the resistance of the
4-ohm branch is one-half the resist.
ance of the S-ohm branch. "

electrical resistanceS connected In
parallel might be thought of as being
equivalent to number of wires of the
same length and material but having
the same or different areas Their
combined resistance, then, will be
equal to the resistance of single
wire OF the same material and same
length and whose area is equal to the
sum of the areas of the several differ
ent wires. =.
Various Resistances
For example, if two resistances Of
6 and 3 ohms, respectively, be con-
nected in parallel their combined re-
sistance may be determined as fol-
lows:
For convenience let us assume that
these two reslstances are two wires
of the same material and that they are
equal in length. Then the area of the
3-ohm wire will be twice the area Of
the 6-ohm wire, since its resistance is
one-half as great, the area increasing
as the resistance decreases The two
wires will have a combined area equal
to three times the area of the 6-ohm
wire. The resistance of q wire whose
area is three times that of another
wire Of the same material and having
the same length will be one-third of
the resistance Of the smaller wire.
Hence the resistance of q wire
which may replace the two wires is
equal to one-third the resistance OF
the 6-ohm wire, or ohms. 49,.
Suppose three Rsistances of 4, 8
and II ohms, respectively, be connect
ed In parallel. Their combined resist
ance may be determined as follows:
Again let us assume that these re-
sistanees are three wires of the same
material and all have the same
length; then the area of the. 4-ohm
wire will be three times as great as
the area of the 12-ohm wire and the
area OF the 3-ohm wire will be four
times as great as the area of the IL.
ohm wire. @=- ~.
The three wires will have a COM
bined area equal to l plus 5 plus 4,
or eight times the area of the 12-ohm
wire. This equivalent wire. whose
area is eight times the area of the II
ohm wire, will have a resistance equal
to one-eighth of the 12-ohm wire, or
1-2 ohms @..- +
Any number of resistances may be
combined in the above manner by
first assuming them as composed of
the same material and having the
same length and then replaced by
wire of the same material and same
length, but having an area equal to
the combined area of the several
wires. IT.: .
Conductance .".
The resistance of the electrical cir
cult is a property of the circuit which
opposes the free flow of electricity.
through the circuit, and it is measur-
ed. in a unit called the ohm. The
property of the circuit which permits
the electricity to flow, or that prop
erty which is just the opposite Of re-
sistance and is equal to divided by
the resistance in ohms, is called the
conductance of the circuit, and it is
measured in unit called the ohm. II
is interesting to note that the unit in
which the conductance is measured
is the unit Of resistance, the ohm,
spelled backward.
The resistance of a parallel circuit
may be determined by merely adding
the conductances of the several parts
