Roosevelt "Dee-lisnted." (By Review Leased Wire)


 OYSTER BAY, May 12.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made no secret ro- night of his delight over the action of the house. but he refused to dis cuss his plans for putting a military force in the field until his authoriza- tion to do so becomes official.
 q am deeply grateful at what the house has done" Colonel Roosevelt said. "I feel they have taken a step which is eminently wise and patriotic toward enabling us to utilize an ele- ment in the country we would other wise not utilize at all. This will en- able a mixed force of regulars and volunteers to be put to the front dur ing the time necessary off training the great army raised under the seletive draft"

For that reason I don't like to rely on
funny make-ups. I'd rather have an
actor who can be funny in a dress suit.
Several actors have made great
regulations as comedians simply be-
cause they were unusual specimens of
humanity, because they were remark
ably fat or remarkably tall, because
they had some very pronounced pecul-
iarity of features or because of great
ability as facial contortionists. These
men are born and cannot be made.
MANY Of our future star comedians
Of the silent drama will be recruited
from the Europeans, I believe. Con-
tinentals are by nature very expressive.
They talk with their arms, eyes and
whole faces. This is true especially of
the members of the volatile Latin
races, who cannot mention a spade
without making a gesture as If they
were about to dig a hole, cannot keep
the sparkle out of their eyes when thew

1.-THE screen has many advantages
over the STAGE" said Mr.. Sennett, his
active mind skipping to another phase
of the many-sided subject he loves to
discuss from any angle. "For one
thing, on a ten by fifteen foot moving
picture screen it is possible for ev-
cry person in the theater to see the
expression of an actors face more
clearly than it can be seen by those
sitting in the back of a regular play
house.
I'm closeup picture you can show
all the minutest details, the culver of
an actors eyelash or the faintest curl
of his lip. Look at this picture of Ray
mond Hitchcock and the dancer for
example. In the film a closeup pic

He turns slowly toward the audience
and winks 1t brought roar of laugh
ter everywhere the film was shown.
Just a wink! But every movie fan
in the house could see his eyelash
move and catch the expression in his
eye as clearly as if Mr.. Hitchcock was
sitting in a chair beside him. You
could not get that effect to the gallery
gods, or even to the people in the back
orchestra chairs, if Hitchcock himself
was on the stage Of a regular
theater.

FISH AS A FOOD.
Not Nearly Enough of It Is Used In
This Country.

The average American eats twenty
pounds of fish a year. This includes
oysters, clans. crabs, lobster, shrimp
end mussels. One dietary authority
states, according to Leslie's Weekly
that 200 miles inland from our three
coasts the consumption of fish food per
uerson is less than half pound annu-
ally.
Each inhabitant of the British isles
las fish on his bill of fare to the ex-
tent OF 100 pounds every twelve
months, while the fish consumption per
capita in Germany is 120 pounds; Hol-
land, 1870 pounds; Norway. Sweden and
Denmark. 100 pounds: China, 225
pounds, and Japan, nearly 500 pounds.
Latin Americans are the only people
sho eat less fish than do the inhabit-
ants of the United States.
There is absolutely no sane argument
against the larger and more extensive
;lac of fish as daily diet throughout
ihc length and breadth of this land. 1t
Is ideal as a food. 1t is highly nutli-
tiods and rich in proteins. 1t is most
easily digested. 1t contains in great
abundance the chemical ingredients for
making bone, muscle and tissue. AS a
food nothing detrimental can possibly
be said against it. Fish, with the excep-
tion of few species. are clean feeders.

PREHISTORIC WEAPONS.
They Were Probably Made Of Iron OBJ
tained From Meteorites.

In the old world the art of smelling
ores was discovered about 1900 B. G.,
1t has sometimes been suggested that
iron tools and weapons may have been
made at an earlier period from meteor
ties, and recently considerable amount
of evidence in behalf of this hypothesis
has been presented by c. f. thinner.
He has compiled list of the known
iron-containing meteorites, nearly all
accumulated within the past century.
and he shows from these alone about
25O tons of iron might be obtained. OF
this amount more than 80 per cent is
malleable, consisting of nickel-iron
alloy. He also shows by means Of a
series of Illustrations how easy it is to
detach from the meteorites fragments
Of iron suitable for use as tools or i'm
plements when mounted in handles.
Thus it seems fairly probable that a
widespread use may have been made OF
meteoritic iron in prehistoric times

Mexico the Aztecs had iron knives and
daggers, which, they declared, had been
obtained from the sky. Moreover, the
use of meteoritic iron by Eskimos and
