High links Mr.. Hauerbach is
credited in "Katinka" with a brighter
and snapper play than either OF his
predecessors, while Mr.. Frimls
score is considered one of the most
sensational achievements in the realm
Of light musical composition in the
history of the American stage. His
melody, "Rackety Coo" the feature
OF the score, is of the compelling
kind that never leaves the memory,
but breaks out frequently in whistling
and cumming. The love song, "Ka-
tinka," has tenderness and sweet
ness that makes it classic, while II
Want to Marry a Male Quartette,' is
one OF the brightest satires of recent
years.
"Katinka," tells the story Of a
Russian girl who is forced into mar
riage with an elderly statesman, much
to her distaste. On the night OF her
wedding she is spirited away by her
lover Ivan, who has learned that
Boris already has a wife, supposed to
be somewhere in Turkey" The two,
with an American friend named Hop
per, set out to discover this Mrs.
Boris, and the play deals with the
laughable incidents of the search.

Chicago Evening Post: We never
thought that any flag could give us a
greater thrill than Old Glory; but we
got it when we looked at the first SER
vice flag that met our gaze. 1t is the
service flag that puts the meaning in
to Old Glory. We count the blue stars
on the white field with eyes that grow
misty, and our glance passes from
them to the red border. How many
of the blue stars must go down in the
red before the war ends? Here is our
first casualty list from France. In
Pittsburgh, in Evansville. Ind; in Gid
den, Iowa. there are service flags, on
each of which one bite star has sunk
in the crimson tide Of sacrifice. But
we must not lose them from the flags.

A study of how the world is led re- yeals many interesting facts. Austra" lia. the smallest continent, for in. stance, is the largest meat center or them all. Asia, largest continent, on the other hand, is the smallest meat center among them. Africa and South America lean toward vegetarian1sm, while Europe and North America are large consumers of meat and other an- imal products. Taking the worlds SUD- ply of cattle, hogs and sheep, writes Harold J. Shepstone in the Mitigate Monthly, it appears that mankind at large uses in the neighborhood of 2O,- GOO 600 tons of meat year. This would be an average of about thirty nine pounds per capita throughout the world. In butchers meat we find the Australian consumes 192 pounds, the American 172 pounds, the Englishman 119 pounds, the German 113 pounds the Frenchman and Belgian eighty pounds, the Russian fifty pOunds.- Manchester Guardian.

Fun With the Wrong Man What Might Have Been a Serious BIunder Comes
 Out Right
 By WILL s. GIDLEY Copyright by Win s. Gidley.

On that day the Argus staff had had an unusually trying time of it. To begin with, the press dispatches had consist ed chiefly of Russian war news, which had been pouring in steadily all day, filled with an unusual and most dis eouraging quantity of unpronounee- able and unspellable names-that is, to any one except an expert in Russian and AsIatic nomenclature. To an ordi- nary editor, prOOfreader or typesetter they were simply so many jagged mountain chains of consOnants, with an occasional vowel thrown in for good measure. To cap the climax one of the hand set columns got knocked into 'pi lust as the paper was about ready for the press, which made a great i'm prOVement In the spelling of some Of the names, but ruined the article in other respects.
 The result was-well, the Argus got out about on time, but as managing editor of the paper Barney Blake had no reason to feel proud of that particu- lar column of war news as 1t appeared in print. Some of 1t was still pi, but 1t came out all right in the second edi- ton, also in the third and fourth. Blake saw to that personally, as he expected Colonel Starbuck, the proprietor of the Daily Argus, in some time during the afternoon, and, knowing him to be Of an excitable temperament-the colonel often swore the Argus with its blum ders would be the death of him-he did not care particularly to have him see that dispatch as originally printed.
 The colonel failed to show up at the usual hour, however, and Barney was rather glad than otherwise that he didn't.
 What he needed-in fact, what the entire Argus staff needed just then was a little wholesome recreation in- stead of an interview with or lecture from Colonel Starbuck-something to take off the tension instead of screw ing 1t up tighter.
 It is no wonder, then, that when an unexpected opportunity for innocent fun presented itself Barney joyfully and eagerly seized upon it and made the most of it.
 The opportunity in question came in the shape of caller-One of the oldest looking fish that had drifted into the Argus office in many moons.
 One quick glance at the linen duster which hung loosely about his robust form and the last years straw hat perched on the back of his head. and Barney had sized him up for a horny handed agriculturist- probably one of the country subscribers coming in, as they frequently did, to look over the

One hundred tons of paint, costing approximately $25,OOO. represents the initial color requirements for a new battleship. The annual upkeep cost may exceed this sum, since It Is the custom to repaint the different parts of A modern war vessel every three to six months. This would indicate an annual paint protection outlay of near ly s1OOO.OOO for the navy. If to this sum is added the cost of painting the thousands of lake boats, freighters, river steamers and pleasure craft some conception may be had of the impor- tance of marine painting.
 Among the most important naval patnts are those which are applied to protect the submerged parts of the hulls from cOrrOsiOn or fOuling by bar nacles. The word barnacle Is the pop ular name for that form of marine crustacea which consists of clam Nike body lodged in a shell that Is often formed in a series of rings or plates. They adhere with great tenacity. Without anti-fOuling paints the speed of vessels would be greatly retarded by the pilinx ID of a thick incrustation of barnAcles and attached sea grass Boston Herald

L.noth of WirsIess Wavss.

In articles on wireless telegraphy such expressions as POO meter wave lengths, 600 meter wave lengths, 15,OOO meter wave lengths are constantly used. In reply to correspondent who asks how the length of the waves Is measured the Scientific American gives the following simple explanation:
 ''The length of an electric wave is determined by a wave meter. The nat ural wave length of an aerial is four times it's. linear length, just as the wave length of note of closed organ pipe is four times the length of the pipe, and the wave length of the note of a tuning fork is four times the length of the box which is resonant with the note. However, other consid- erations make it difficult to measure the wave length by rule, and the wave meter gives more correct result than can be found by measuring the Ion gth of the Wire.'
