MOVIES ARE PUT TO NEW USE
Orchestra Directed by Screen Repro
duction Of Noted Conductor
Handling Baton. I

The latest in the fields Of motion
pictures and music is combination of
the two, in which the mechanical
processes of one are used to direct the
artistic processes of the other.
This is nothing more nor less than
the conducting of an orchestra by
means of the screen reproduction of
noted conductor, handling the baton. 1t
has been tried in Chicago as an ex-
pertinent, with such compositions as
the overture for civilian Tell" and
Mendelssohn's "Spring Song"
The system as tried out and found
acceptable consists simply of project
ing on a screen in full view of the
orchestra, pictures previously taken
of an impresario conducting the COM
position to be rendered. 1t is claimed
that because the pictures are more
conspicuous to the musicians than the
man himself could be, it is easier for
them to follow his baton. The project
ing machines are motor driven, this
enabling the operator to regulate them
to any speed desired and to maintain
1t without breaks.

ABSOLUTE MONARCHY
MUST BE STIFLED

President Wilson was right when
he said THE world must be made
safe for democracy" The war now
being waged by the German Imperial
government, without regard to the
rights of cher nations or the rights
of humanity, is fast convincing the
world that monarchial rule is bar
to enlightenment and civilization.
Darkest Russia that has been
under the ban of absolute monarchy
for hundreds of years is the last to
revolt ard throw eff the yoke of op-
preston. and cher countries thus
governed, are preparing to follow
Russia and hose countries that have
abandoned autocratic rule and adopt
ed the standard of democracy.
The United States of America was
the first power of note to discard
monarehial rule, since whi h time
several Of the greatest countries in
area of the h, quick to discern
the advantages given the people un
der Democratic liberty, have discard
ed monarchy and established repub
lies. The most recent of which are
China and Russia.
Germany is new mailing the fight
as to whether monarchy or democra
cy is TO rule the world in future. ant
1t is upon these grounds thaf we on
ter the conflict as the most powerful
nation. to perpetuate that principl,
that has made us world power. ant
victory must be ours, even though i

seapIane. Fold Their wIno,.

Owing to the large number Of sea-
planes employed by the entente naval
forces in the present war, especially in
the waters of the near East, the Brit
ish and French aircraft designers
have developed special type of hy-
droplane provided with folding wings,
notes the Scientific American. This
feature results in great saving of
space on board a warship or special
mother ship when a large number Of
seaplanes are carried. The wings are
hinged to the fuselage so that they can
be swung back when the craft is to be
stored away, yet the seaplane can be
made ready and equipped for sustained
service In the space of a few minutes
by the aviator and his corps Of as.
sistants.

HOW DIFFERENT SHIPS SINK
Nearly Every Glass or Design OF Yes
sci Has Particular Way OF
Going Down.

Nearly every class or design of ves-
sci sinks in particular way, For in
stance. the old type of single-bottom
steamers, with few or no bulkheads-
that is, in the modern sense of the
term-almost invariably founders on
more or less of an even keel, which
means that they sink level, and not
with their bow Or stern up In the air,
London Tit-Bits says.
This is accounted for by the fact
that at whatever point the water may
enter, 1t practically finds 1t own level,
as there are no subdivisions to OBJ
struct 1t. t
Now, in the case Of modern ves-
sci, which is built with numerous sub
divisions, It invariably happens that
she founders with her bow or stern high
out of the water; or else she sinks
with heavy list, or cant, to one side
or the other. The reason for this is
that the bulkheads prevent the water
which enters the vessel from finding
it's level; consequently, when one par
ticular portion Of the ship is full Of
water, while the remainder is prac-
tically watertight, that part which is
water laden sinks first, owing to Its
greater weight. /
1t is for this reason that such terri
Bile loss Of life frequently occurs in
modern shipwrecks. Owing to the un-
even sinking, 1t is often found impos-
sible to lower the majority of the life
boats, as they would fail to reach the
water.

Glass Gardens.

A few square feet of sunny ground
and hotbed or cold frame, large or
small, will produce vegetables and
flowers weeks ahead of those who gar
den without glass. A little glass adds
wonderful amount of interest to the
garden and prolongs the season for
many weeks in the spring and in the
autumn. A good frame with sash will
last for years, and this is to be con-
sidered in buying good material ut the
outset.
