A FEAT OF MEMORY
EMIL ORERHOFFER CONDUCTS
PROGRAMS WITHOUT USE
OF SCORES.

If the average concert-goer pauscs
lust a moment TO observe next Mon
day he viii discover that Emil ODER
hotter, conductor of the Minneapolis
symphony orchestra, directs all his
programs without a core, and he will
realize that the nan with the baton
has accomplished a very difficult feat
of memory.
But a fun knowledge Of what this
really means Is possible only to "a
trained orchestra nan who knows the
scores himself. Such "A man viii see
and appreciate the fact that not one
little cue is overlooked that the role
of every instrument is perfectly
grasped and remembered, and that
the conductor Is really a leader in
every sense of the word.
There are two tremendous advan-
tages which a .%'scoreless conductor
holds over his confreres who must
consult each page, one of these is his
freedom TO watch every man. and so
exert a correspondingly effective per
sonal control: the other is his ability

whole. knowing the end from the be
ginning I'm a manner which is tmpos-
sible in the usual page TO page read
ing.
Mr.. Oberhoffer knows literally
dozens of immensely long scores. and
the acquisition of "a repertoire like
this means the most unceasing aud
highly concentrated labor. During
the summer months. which Mr.. Ober-
hotter spends at his country home, he
spends many hours a day in memoir
izing new scores and refreshing his
mind on old ones. The net result is
a series of performances of remark
able b%rilliance. remarkable sureness
of touch. and remarkable %cOncentra-
ton of purpose. And the influence
on the individual musicians was eX-
pressed by one of them when he said,
From the moment Mr.. Oberhoffer
walks onto the stage and takes his
place on the conductors stand, he
owns us, body and soul"

Why Maauey Blooms Arc Rare.

A maguey plant in bloom Is sight one seldom sees in Mexico. for the reason that the stem is cut at its base and hollOwed out. and the sap that would have gone into the flower is collected and converted into that evil smelling. criminal making concoction called pulque. When the sap gathers at the rate of ten to fifteen pints q day-peons pass from plant to plant and with their mouths to one end of a tube suck it up and then discharge 1t into containers made of pigskins. flung. saddlebags fashion. across the back of an uncurried donkey. The liquid is then carried to the central station, where 1t is "ripened" in vats of untanned cOwhide.-National Geo. graphic Magazine.

CHAULMOOG:A OIL

HAVANA. Cuba, Jan. 2i--When Angel Garcia came here few months ago and declare that he had a new cure for leprosy there was general disposition on tn. par. of those who heard him to laugh

 The principal medicine used by Garcia is oil of Charlmoogra It has long been known that this oil is ef- ficacious in lepr osy cases out it could not be administered Tn sufficient quantities because the digestive or gans would not stand it. Garcia has found way to administer it suc- cessful,y.
 The oil, however, is rapidly giving out, and the efforts of the govern ment to procure more have not met with success.

LET HER HAVE HER OWN WAY.
Then, Says This Student of Femininity
 She Will Despiss You.

Then, Says This Student of Femininity,
 She Will Despiss You.
 Are you tired of your wife? Do you wish that she would get divorce?
 Are you weary of your sweetheart and desirous of another one?
 Maybe l can help you.
 Do not treat badly that woman of whom you are tired. You will accom- plish nothing in that way.
 Let her have her own way in every thing Yield to her absolutely. Let her believe that she can dominate you always.
 It is she who will eventually sever the connection then if you only show a little patience and persist in your quiet efforts to show her that she is the stronger.
 For women soon cease to esteem the man whom they have completely en- slaved. They value homage, but only the homage of a master. Make your self a woman's slave and you need not worry about getting rid of her. She will get rid of you.
 And this method of breaking an en- gagement or getting rid of wife will appeal particularly to those scrupulous persons who wish always to feel that they have been quile honorable.-New York Evening Sun.

MOSCOW CATHEDRAL.
Ivan the Terrible Lived Up ts He
 Name In Building lt.


 One of the most extraordinary and fantastic Christian places of worship in the world is the Cathedral of Mos COW. known as vasili Blajenni. strange not only in outline and conception. but even stranger in it's history.
 No one knows the architects name. but the story goes that the czar or dered his eyes to be put out directly the church was completed. so that he should never be able to surpass his work.
 The idea of the building was inspired by the wickedest and maddest mon- arch who ever sat on throne-1van the Terrible. czar of Muscovy.
 The architecture is in every respect extravagant and barbaric. and the col bring is garish in the extreme. It has nine chapels. roofed by nine cupolas, each different and each stranger thar the other One resembles a pineapple another melon. third is said to ape a hedgehog in its appearance. and the rest are more or less grotesque. Some are gilt: others are painted in brilliant hueS.
 Indeed. the only description is that 1t is a nightmare of church. the fit- ting legacy of a ruler who grilled his counselors in frying pans and clothed bis subjects fin bearskins in order that trained dogs might worry and tear them to pieces.-Strand Magazine.

JUNEAU MAN MAKES
 A NEW KIND OF GAS

A substitute air gas that will take the place and can be used for the same purposes as gasoline, distillate, cooking gas, Illuminating gas or heating gas has been invented by Charles Warner, of Juneau and a member of the local Edks lodge, says the Epire of January 5. MT. Warner is a mechanic and inventor and has been working on his invention for the past two years. He has now brought it to a point where he is making practical tests and is demonstl ating the production to his friends.
 The gas is produced by blowing cir through tanks containing a DOW dered chemical and is absolutely dry when produced. Water thrown into the tank or even heavy oils do not interfere with the production of the gas. It has already been used to run 9 gasoline engine under tests made by Mir. Warner.
 A small cylinder ten inches long hy five inches in diameter, will mold enough chemical to produce 15OO cu- hic feet of the gas. The storage space needed to hold 200 gallons of gaso- line. which will run the ordinary gas boat two days will hold enough of the chemical to run the boat for six months. The cost of the compound is said to be about half the present cost of gasoline.
 Most gases of this kind will not eA- plode from an electric spark when confined but no such trouble is found with MT. Warmers discovery which has been used to operate a gasoline engine and worked perfectly. A small tank of the chemical could be set up in a house with an attached air tank, with a 2-pound weight, and would generate sufficient gas to furnlsh light, heat and cooking facilities for the ordinary family for months.
 Air can be delivered through the chemical at any pressure from two to II pounds and the gas generated will correspond in pressure to that of air. MT. Warner is not giving his ind much publicity as yet, but he claims that it will revolutionize the entire gasoline engine industry, from marine engines to auto and aero planes. One of the big drawbacks of the aeroplane industry at the pres ent time is the inability to carry enough fuel for long voyages. MT. Warner claims that with his find they will be enabled to carry enough fuel to circle the world without trouble.
