 Large Audience.

Last evening in the auditorium of the new High school the Senior Com mercial Class of 1916 presented novel entertainment before 700 peo- pie for the benefit of the Somerset Memorial fund. The program con sisted of a three-act play, orchestral selections, dancing and singing The most Impressive part of the program was the three act drama, Anne of old Salem The part of '.Anne of Old Salem was ably rendered by Miss Sarah Scher. The play was Colonial in all respects, Colonial ushers, actors. musicians and even ticket sellers.
 The plot sof' the play held interest Throughout the entire performance. It dealt with the fortunes and sorrows of "Anne," d young girl of Old Salem, who was accused of being witch. Through the efforts of her sweetheart the governor set her free despite the sentence of death imposed by the Rev. Cotton Mather. Thus the play ran with minor complications and in the end Anne got her engagement ring from Roger.
 A1nangathose who did notable work in the play were Dav1d H. Reid in the part of the Rev. Cotton Mather; Char lotto I. Waters, who took the part of good wife EIlinwood, the mother of Anne; Rebecca & Wishengrad, who took the part of Roger Hardman's s mother; Kenneth J. Griffin, as Roger; and Arnold c. Bergman as Ezekiel Brown, a village lad.
 Miss Lucy s. Curtiss of the faculty coached the play. At the conclusion she was, led onto the stage to receive three large baskets of f1owers. The audience encored until she bowed Credit for the dance is due to D. c. Guilty and to W. R, Smith of the faculty for the singing and lighting effects.
 while the scenery would remind one of the Elizabethan scenery of Shakespeare time. there were few Colonial antiques supplied by George o. Totam- By the courtesy of the En- sembIe club four orchestral selections were rendered by an eight piece orr chestra of vioIins The air Louis XIII was the most appreciated by the audi ence.

Giant and Dwarf Honoybeea.

1tdnC ana AFVVSAFT FTOUSy09S$u
 In some of the East Indian islands and on the mainland of Hindustan are to be found the smallest species of honeybees in the world. These dwarf honey collectors are known to ento- mo1ogists as Apis forea. Their honey combs are no larger than a child's hand, and the cells are about the size of small pinhead. This honey is ex- cellent, as is the wax. The little crea- lures build the comb in the branch of a low tree, and as they have not to provide for winter, they work all the year through. raising broods like them selves.
 In the same land there is a species of giant bees, Apis dOrsata, as large as a field cricket. These monsters of the bee world build honeycombs that are from six to seven feet in length, four OF more in width and weigh from 300 to 400 pounds each.

A Peasant Boy PhiIoeopher.

Very remarkable was the boyhood of the celebrated James Ferguson, who was born at Keith, in Banfshire, Scot land. in 171O His father, who was day Iaborer, taught him to read and write and sent him to school for three months at Keith. At the age of eight he constructed a clock of wood that kept remarkably good time and after ward made a wooden watch with whalebone spring. He began to earn his first money by cleaning and mend ing clocks in the neighborhood. His astronomical pursuits commo 4ced soon afterward, his father having sent him to neighboring farmer, who employed him in watching his sheep While thus occupied he amused himself at night by watching the stars and during the day in making models. In 1747 he pub hshed his book on the phenomena of the harvest moon, and this was fol lowed by other astronomical works. His books received the approval of the Royal society, before which he ire Quently appeared.
