In richness Of coloring, in beauty
of design, in charm Of costuming
and spectacular display, it is doubt
full if any musical comedy that this
city has seen, Will compare with
Klaw and Erlanger's big musical
show. Miss Springtime," which is
announced as the attraction at the
Oliver on Monday evening next Not
only in the general elaboration of
the picturesque, in which the color
schemes of scenery and costumes
have been blended subtly by a mas
ter hand, but in the fascination
which the ensemble presents 10 the
eye by reason of the rhythmic ma
ture Of its conception and execution,
this production, which comes 70 this
city directly following its all sea-
sons run at the New Amsterdam
theater. New York, is one that the
artist, as we'll as the public, can take
pride it, it is claimed.
America has had several exam
piles of Joseph Urban's work in the
past two years, but none so elabo-
rate. none so ambitious. none so
triumphantly architectural as the
three scenes Of Miss Springtime."
There is a riot of color in the sill

lightfully rural and modistically eX-
quisite dressing OF the principals
and chorus i'm the second act. which
takes place within the interior of an
apothecary's shop such as no Ordi-

aginative coloring, that makes the

up visions Of the Ara bian Nights
Mr.. Urban's hand is the hand of q
master craftsman. and il is 90 be
discerned not only in the splendid
lines that characterize his separate
designs, but in the perfect harmony
between scenic and costume color

it will be noted that there is never

An Electric Pistol.

An inventor has' turned out an cleo
trio pistol built along original lines. II
does not use gunpowder or cartridges,
but Is so constructed that its contents,
gases. are exploded by a touch of the
button and a p~rojectile is expelled. The
pistol consists of q brass cylinder at
one end of which is a small battery
and coil. The gases are introduced
from the outside or from a small tank
attached to the pistol frame, explains
the Electrical Experimenter. Although
the use Of electricity in this caee Is
merely an experiment. 1t is evident that
1t can be used to produce exactly what
powder does, explosion in n confined
space and the swift movement of o
missile. Mankind began with a club
and a stone to deliver blows. The bull
let Is only a small bat speedier object
than a hand-thrown stone, wounding at
a greater distance than is possible with
a spear or arrow.

Red Cross Dous.

The Boxer" breed Of dogs is the re-
suit of q cross between the German
mastiff and the English bulldog. 1t is
this breed of dog, according to mill
tary observers, that has proved to be
the king of the Red Cross dogs in the
European war. These Red Cross dogs,
In whom character and training are
said to outweigh pedigree almost with
out exception, are first taught to dis
tinguish between the uniform of the
soldiers of their country and that Of
the enemy. Then they must learn that
their principal business, in life is find
ing and aiding wounded soldiers. BY
a very special kind Of training Red
Cross dogs are taught to seek rather
than to trail wounded soldiers and to
bring back news of finding injured
men. This the dogs must learn to dc
without barking, for the enemy is al.

Fishes Sense Of Smell,

In connection with the entrance Of
salmon into rivers and other bodies Of
water, Doctors Shelford and Powers
say 1t is evident that they find their
way by virtue Of the presence or abb
sence of acids and alkalis. Fish are
said to be able to determine the direc-
ton they must 60 to fresh water W
when hundreds of miles out at sea, and
find their way to bays, harbors and in

tain salmon to certain rivers or the
running of herring in certain localities.
These new chemical discoveries are
said to make II all clear that smell and
touch are the. senses most concerned,
and these are highly developed in GER

duct secured. Guayule is not new to
the American rubber man, unfortun-
ately It is almost ancient history to
him. It is safe to say that there are
scattered over this country Mt least
fifty deresinating plants, intended pri-
marily for the treatment of this rub
Der. AT one time they furnished about
one-fifth Of the entire rubber used In
this country. The total production OF
the Mexican guayule fields was about
10000 tons of the washed and dried,
but not deresinated, rubber a year.
from 1905 to 1910. In 1911 It began
to fall off, and the recorded production
for 1912 is $500 tons. About so per
cent of this production was exported
to the United States. Since 1912 quay

physics and Agriculture.

One reason why the farmer so often
looks upon the representatives of SCI
entifc agriculture as impractical may
be found in the neglect Of the study
of physics as applied to living mat
ter. Our studies Of physics have gen.
orally been confined to mechanical nc
ton In the soil, and the physical func-
tons of the plants processes of
growth from physical soil conditions
have been neglected. A study Of the
physics of the living as we'll as the
dead matter can do much toward
bringing light to many of the farmers
most perplexing problems, and make
for everyday cooperation between
practical and scientific farming.-Los

Beeswax Used for Lighting.

Beeswax and tallow were used for
lighting purposes by the Romans.
Lengths Ct cotton or fax fiber were
dipped in these substances, and they
usually burned with much smoke and
SCOT and little light. The rush-lights
IF the middle ages, and even of recent
times, were rushes that had been
stripped nearly to the dry pith and
dipped in wax or tallow. When "can-
die power was adopted as the unit of
light measures by the London gas act
Of 1860, it was taken to mean the
amount of light which would be given
by a sperm candle, six of which would
weigh a pound, and which consumed
100 grains of the candle each hour.
