Athens the Seat of Learning.

1t may be said unhesitatingly that the country which has produced the greatest men in literature and philoso- phy. art and architecture is Greece In the little state of Attica-not much larger than Greater New York-true civilization and all that goes along with it were born. All that has been done since the ''age of Pericles" has been simply the carrying out of the ideas, principles and methods laid down by the men who won Marathon and Salamis, Plataea and Mycale. Gal- ton, high authority, does not hesitate to say that Athens and the little state of which it was the capital produced more first class intellects than have since been produced by all the world put together.

MAMMOTH DAM.

The Housatonic river valley from Stevenson to a point about II miles north of that village, will be converted into huge lake within few years by the construction across the river, at Stevenson ot the biggest dam in this part of the United States. The Connec- ticut Light and Power Co.,, which has its general offices in Waterbury, is be. hlnd the mammoth engineering and construction feat, the object of which is to harness the vast water power that is now going to waste in the Housa- tonic valley.
 Ihe project will mean the expendi- ture of millions of dollars, it is stated, and ever two years of work. The new dam will be 100 feet high 30 feet of which will be below the river he'd. It will be about TOO feet long extending clear across the river, and for dis. tance of several hundred feet along each bank. Farm land now skirting the river, on each side from Stevenson, 10 or II miles northerly, will be inun. dated when the dam is completed.

al OLA, KAK0U," SHOUTS
CHARLIE CHAPLIN, AND
SAILS AWAY FOR HIL0

Boyish1y beaming with satisfaction
at the great crowd present, Charlie
Chaplin reeled up the gangway OF the
Mauna Kea Saturday afternoon before
departing for his visit to the volcano.
Minus his makeup, "moustache,
cane and massive Shoes some of
the many children present could not
be convinced that their screen idol
had really come to life in Honolulu
until the comedian twisted his ears,
wrinkIed his face and let his feet per-
form. Then there was a chorus OF
childish voices shouting, See Char
lie"
Charlie had scarcely boarded the
steamer until lie and Demosthenes
Lycurgus had established an entente
and posed with arms locked for a
squad of amateur photographers. Due
to "Monty's" plentiful proportions
there was grave danger of the Vol
cano hotel manager "hogging the
camera" until Charlie was placed on
the weather, or camera, side.
AS the MauIa kea pulled into the
stream, the screen comedian waved
a red bouquet, tipped his white flan-
mel hat, shuffled three dance steps,
did a'"donkey" with his ears, smiled
his Roosevelt smile, teeth and all,
and shouted Aloha kakou."

Chaplin REEL
SEEN At HAWAII

Charlie Chaplin-the real one-may
remain in Honolulu for short time,
but Charlie Chaplin-the reel one-is
almost a permanent fixture. Provided
the management Of the Hawaii thea
ter can so arrange, c. C. will be a
perpetual attraction.
There is little difference with c. C..
as to the title of his attractions. Just
so long as the leading comedian OF
the screen is in the billing Honolulu
and every other city in the world will
turn out almost en- masse. The cur
rent Chaplin attraction at the Hawaii
happens to be entitled The Fireman, .
and the title is a good one as it is
an excuse for Chaplin himself to ap-
pear for a couple of reels of laugh
production. As is customary with
Chaplin's films there is nothing to it
but laughter, although that comn1o-
dity is more plentiful than at any time
at the Hawaii since the last appear
ance of the same star.
Lillian Gish also appears as Ha-
wall star in IAN Innocent Magdelene,"
a strong Triangle-Fine Arts feature.
This is one of the Hawaii favorites. :.
