Redpath Chautauqua Pro-
gram for 1917 Bigger and
Better Than Ever.
THE WONDERFUL NEW
TORPEDO WITH EARS.
UNIQUE Demonstration by
Noted Scientist-Great
Reno in Magic, Etc.

The Redpath program in this city
for 1917, bigger and better than ever,
has just been announced from chau-
tauaua headquarters in Chicago.
Bristling with compelling interest
from first to last. this program in
cludes such outstanding features as
Lieutenant Donad H. MEG J5ney, di-
rect from the French front; Montra-
vile Wood, famous scientist and in
ventor of the torpedo with ears;
The White Hussars Band, and the
Great Reno. Throughout the week
are more OF what one might call pop
ular numbers than usual, fact
which will be acceptable to the ma
jority of the chautauqua going pup
lie.
Everybody likes band. Since the
days when we followed our first cir
Gus parade. to the pulse-stirrlng
strains of the uniformed band sitting
aloft in their gilded, palatial wagon
drawn by prancing horses. we nave
never quite lost the magic thrill
which always returns when We hear
the rousing strains of a good band.
Yet even in the band has the idea of
unusualness been carried out. for 1t
is a singing band that will he featur-
ed this year The White Hqssars
will appear on the program on the
closing day. Their combination OF
stirring band music with vocal work
has made them one of the most
pleasing successes of recent years.
At the present time with the sub
iect OF national defense receiving at
tention, it is interesting to know that
Professor Wood is the inventor OF the
"hearing torpedo" about which so
much has appeared in magazines ana
newspapers. This submarine instru-
ment is noted for-its humane possi-
bilities and its almost human lnteih-
gence.
At one point in his lecture-demon-
stration. Professor Wood allows
members of the audience to come to
the nlatform and wrestle with 28-
mound gyroscope running at speed
Of nearly 5000 revolutions minute.
Later he demonstrates the appl1ca-
tion of the gyroscope to the aero
plane and monorail car by actually
sanding small madels of these twen-
tieth century carriers out in midair
on a. slender wire stretched above
one of the ais,es Of the auditorium.
Hi- demonstration of the ultra-v!o-
let ray are alike marvellous.
In the early days Mr.. Wood was
clcsely associated with Thomas a:
Eddison. and in 1899 was appointed
district engineer for the Edison cam
rany for the Pacific coast. he rs
the inventor of the two button eiec
trtc switch and nearly . hundred
other practical and fa2ailsar devices.

Hotel building, has disappeared and
his whereabouts is unknown. In
