Not in years has Minneapolis wit
messed anything from dramatic view
point so pronounced as the present en-
gagement of Raymond Crane with the
cambridge Opera Company at the Shu-
bert. Mr.. Crane, who won his Mime
apolis popularity with the cambridge
company three years ago, returns with
new hOnOrs as successful road star,
having appeared two years ago as the
featured player in you're In Love" and
last season starred under the Cohan &
Harris management in "Going Up" Mr..
Crane won his first local honors in
"Firefly,'' which was repeated this week
at the -Shubert, and to capacity bust
ness. Nightly Mr.. Crane has had to
sing alt the verses of his famous bug"
songs over half a dozen times.
Next week Manager cambridge will
offer his opera company in the latest
Victor Herbert OPERA "Her Regiment"
which enjoyed a seasons run at the
Broadhurst theater, New York City. The
opera, credited by reviewers as being
the best musical score yet written by
Victor Herbert, has never been toured,
and Minneapolis, therefore, will see it's
first presentation in this city at the
Shubert. The story of the play has to
do with the adventures of young SOL
der of France. Scenes of the opera
however, are laid before the commence
ment of the present war, so there is
nothing of the war angle in the plot of
the story The cast will include Flor
ence Weber, Dixie Blair, William Pow
ers, Arthur Burckley, Elmer Haynes,
Marjorie Bonner, Lillian Crosman and
other members of the Shubert organi-
cation.

why Water Run. of Ducks Back

The reason that water runs off a
ducks back Is that the feathers of
ducks are oily and, as water and oil
will not mix, the water runs off in
stead of soaking in, one reads in the
Book of Wonders, published and copy
righted by the bureau Of Industrial
education, inc, Washington, d. G.
The feathers on duck are so thick
on the body Of the duck, top and bot
tom, that even II 1t were not for the
oil which is on the feathers the water
would have some difficulty in soaking
through the feathers. But the main
reason why the feathers on ducks
back cause, water striking them to
run Off Is that the duck has an oil
gland which is constantly producing
grease or oil, and which the duck uses
In giving his feathers thin coating to
make them slick, and when any water
strikes the duck 1t runs off. Other
birds which live in the water great
deal have this oil gland for the same
reason.

Why nwalIs Have Ears..,

= "Walls have ears" the cautious
say. This expression originated with
a courtier of the days when Marie
Medici sat upon the throne Of France,
The queen was a suspicious woman,
and the troublous times In which she
lived probably made her more appre-
hensive than she otherwise would
have been. Her fear Of the plots and
plotters led to installation In the
Louvre Of system somewhat like our
modern dictagraph. This consisted of
numerous tubes running from one
room to another, which were called
"auriclaires." These were supple
mented by hollow passageways in
which the queen or her agents might
listen to a conversation beyond the
wall. A writer of her time records that
a follower of the court to whom he
was talking one day In the Louvre
suddenly halted and with finger to
lips reminded him that walls have
ears"

Varnish Is produced In China from a
tree commonly spoken of as the var
nish tree, but known botanically as
Rhus vernicifera, which is found In
abundance In the mountains Of
Hupeh, Kweichew and Szechwan.
The varnish is taken from the tree
after 1t Is about six inches In diane
ter by tapping at intervals Of from
five to seven years, until the tree is
fifty or sixty years of age. A good
sized tree will yield from five to seven
pounds Of varnish.
The natural color Of the crude var
nish as applied is black. 1t Is consid-
cred the most tndestructible varnish
known. One popularity is that 1t
hardens only In moist atmosphere.
In China 1t is enormously known
among the foreign communities as
"Ningpo varnish," probably because
1t first came into contact with foreign
trade here.
Many persons are poisoned when
they come into even atmospheric con-
tact with this varnish, which fact, un-
fortunately, reduces its trade posi-
bilities enormously. AS yet no method
has been discovered whereby this
poisonous quality can be counteracted,
an exchange states.

Why Quail Should Be Protected.

The most expensive meat In Amer
lea Is that of the quail. The price Of
the bird may be moderate enough, but
the loss caused by killing 1t Is another
matter.
Competent authorities estimate that
each quail is worth from $40 to $25 to
the American farmer as destroyer OF
insects and devourer Of weed seeds. !,
This is particularly true In those
parts of the South afflicted by the boil
weevil. Quails are as fond of weevils
as weevils are of cotton, and more
than one farmer has noticed that when
his fields are well stocked with quail
the cotton crop is safe.
There Is liable to be some very
vigorous game preserving in Dixie on
economic grounds rather than for
sport, during the next dozen years.

WHY
Superstition Has Remained
Powerful in China

America wears Its superstitions apol-
ogetlcally. The Chlnaman is proud
of his; they are his encyclopedia,
social guide ana legal adviser rolled
into one. Feng Shut is the Chinese
creed Of superstition. Feng Shut. or
wind and water, is combination Of
two mysterious and powerful elements.
the azure dragon and the white tiger,
which must meet at an angle for ia
vorable conditions to prevail. Even
when lucidly and copiously explained,
Feng Shut remains shrouded mys-
terry.
To the Chinaman, Feng Shut Is the
great thing in life. Following its CON-
mands he warily avoids chances Of Ill
luck. When he builds house he places
the windows at various angles In or
der to confuse the evil spirits who may
try to get In. When his neighbor
builds a house he watches proceed
lipes, and II the structure shows signs
of becoming higher than his own he
voices protest on the plea that the
good spirits who have been honOring
his household with visits will be I'M
able to find their way over project
Ing roof top. Strangely enough, these
arguments are proposed and received
with dignity, and unless the offender
can think of some apt retort to show
that he is not doing injury to his
neighbor, he usually complies with the
request.
The complications Of Feng Shut are
quite beyond the western mind. 1t Is
doubtful whether the Chinese under
stand the mystic symbols and portents
about which they so seriously and
glibly converse Their belief I'm the
power Of Feng Shut is, however, I'M
disputable. Imagine an American de-
Gliding whether to get married, wheth-
err to have an aching tooth pulled or
where to plant rose bush by con-
sulting the direction Of the wind and
taking the sign seriously, and you
have some idea Of the Chinese guild
ing rule in life.

HOW SPAIN's OLIVE OIL
AAOV Is PRODUCED AND

fLACBD ON The MARKET.
In Spain there are 1851 .288
acres planted with olive trees.
OF their products about 81 per
cent Is for oil. The yield Of olive
oil varies widely from year to
year; In 1911 II was 421. 1882
metric tons; In 1912 only &c.
001 tons; In 1917, 427.S38 tons;
in 1913. 255.202 tons. In odd
years the yield is normally great
er than In even years..
Though there are Oil mills,
the greater part Of the oil Is
pressed by the producers. After
pressing, the pulp, called oruJo,
is sold to the sulphur-oil fac
tories, the product OF which Is
used In making soap. The resi-
due is a brown. fiaky charcoal,
like substance used as fuel. This
generates high heat.
The quality of oil depends up
on the acid content. OIL with less
than half Of one per cent Of
acid brings the highest price. but
anything up to three per cent
is considered edible.
1t Is contrary to law to mix
olive oil with any other oil in
Spain, but, Of course, this does
not prevent Its adulteration in
other countries. In the first five
months of 1919 edible olive oil
to the value of $3,153,214 was
exported to the United States
from Malaga.

Male and Female Swimmers.

Swimming comes easier to women
than men because the specific gravity
of their bodies is less than those of
men. The proportion of flesh is great
er in the body Of woman than in that
Of a man and the proportion of bone
is less. Therefore the woman is light
er in proportion to her size and floats
more readily. This gives her an ad-
vantage as swimmer.

TO GRAND FORKS AND RE.
TURN IN 16 HOURS

AS announced the week previous A.
S. Thorsen and Ole Hanson with Mr..
Thorsen's Indian motorcycle and side
car, drove to Grand Forks and return
on Friday Of last week, and the time
for the round trip is 16 hours and
minutes, total distance covered 473
miles, the main road being lost num-
ber Of times.
This is an average speed of a lit
tie over 20 miles per hour and without
doubt is record for North Dakota,
and especially at this time of the year
when there is great deal of road
grading going on.
Mr.. Thorsen reports the roads as
being rough and much grain hauling
going on, which necessitated slowing
up great deal. However, the trip
was made in one day and but 50 miles
were driven with lights.
Had Mr.. Thorsen been bound for
Minneapolis another three hours driv-
ing would have put him there in one
day from Bottineau. Mr.. Thorsen
claims state record for this drive
and unless someone betters his time
will not attempt it again this fall.
