VENICE HAD FIRST THEATER
Buildings Designed Solely for Perform
anees Were Erected In the italian
City In the Year 1929.

The theater proper began In Venice
in 1879. when comedy and melodrama.
hitherto presented on temporary
stages erected In the squares or in the
halls Of palaces, passed into buildings
especially made for that purpose. Pom
peo Molmenti. the Italian historian, re-
lates that the earliest genuine musical
drama heard In Venice was the Pro-
serplnaarnplta Of GIulio Strozzi, set to
music BY Caudio Montevarde. From
1887 onward theaters rose so rapidly
that by the close Of the Seicento they
numbered Is In Venice; some were
devoted to comedy, others to music,
others again were used indifferently
for comedy or melodrama. Almost all
the theaters belonged to noblemen who
reserved boxes for themselves and
took the rent for the buffet. The Coun-
ell Of Ten settled the hour of the per
Torrance and the length Of time 1t
might take. The advertisements were
posted at the piazzetta and at Rialto,
while criers went through the town to
announce the play and the hour when
the house would open.

CANNOT BE TAKEN ALIVE
oorIIIas viii Fight to the Death, and
Are to Be Feared, Even When
Morally Wounded.

The most perilOus jos that any one
can undertake In the jungle Is the cap
ture OF a full-grown gorilla. 1t is said
that no gorilla has ever been captured
alive after Ne was full grown. He
would be q bold man who would at
tempt such a feat. GOrillas fear moth
ing. Even when mortally wounded
they show an. agility, strength and fe-
rocity which Is astonishing. A famous
traveller once stated that II would take
$50 men to hold down a gorilla with
any degree OF safety.
On the other hand. all other apes
are said to be pathetically easy to cap
ture. The usual method Is for a trap
per to seat himself where he is certain
to be observed by these creatures and
pretend to drink from bottle OF
crude spirits. When he Is sure that
he has been observed. he leaves the
bottle and goes away.
The moment his back Is turned the
monkeys rush to appease their curios-
ity concerning the contents OF the bot
tie. They like the taste Of the spirits,
and quarrel among themselves for 1t
till the bottle has been emptied. They
are soon overcome by the intOxicant,
and the trapper returns and gathers
them In.

PRETTY LEGEND OF eARNETs
Apache indians Believe Spirit OF
Chiefs Daughter Imparts Tails
manic Power 70 Stones. !

There Is a garnet mine In Arizona so
rich In gems that the owners some
times say the whole mountain In which
II Is located is a mountain of garnets.
The Apache Indians, near whose reser-
walton the mountain stands, have a
strange myth concerning the garnets.
One night centuries ago, they say. the
little daughter Of a great chief died.
As her spirit passed out, the Indians
gathered about saw a multitude Of
sparks fly up from the tepee and drift
Ing through the air In a shining cloud
settle On the mountain side, where they
shOne like star dust, making the noun
tain bright. Later. they declare. the
sparks which continued to shine, never
growing cold or dead, sank into the
earth and became garnets.
The Indians believe that the spirit
of the chiefs daughter still stands
guard over the mountain and imparts
to all the garnets found there tails
manic powers 10 bring good luck to all
who wear them. These garnets are
mined now and sold all over the cOun-
try In rings, necklaces and bracelets
for pale-face maids. Many of the gar.
net rings are made in swastika design

who happen to buy one may be sure Of
prosperous fortune ever afterward.

The occurrence Of the money cowry
In Iceland and England has a curious
origin. This species, a native of the
tropics, Is used as current coin I'm GER

IL was very abundant on the coast of

Ireland, were supposed to have come
from a slave ship wrecked in the neigh

Marriage Custom. in In. Sudan.

In Sudan Notes and Records" Mr..
w. Nichols describes a remarkable
marriage custom In the Seminar prov
ince which is known as stealing the
fire. On the final night of the fes-
tivities the bridegroom goes to the
brides house escorted by a band of
youths bearing torches. These torches
can be Lit only by fire taken from the
brides house. and this the relatives of
the bride take every possible method
TO prevent. Some OF the bridegroom's
friends creep In secretly at night. or a
body Of them forces its way into the
house to carry OF the fire The editor
quotes as parallels the custom record
ed by Sir James Frazer (''The Golden
Bough." 'The Magic Art" vol. II, DID.
2l6-32O). I'm which fire Is used as a
fertility charm In marriage ritual. But
this Is not an exact parallel, and, as
Stunning that the charm is In the inter-
est of the bride, it does not account
for the resistance made by her friends
when the bridegroom's party endeav-
ors to procure IRE from her home

made at the Anthropological labora-
tory in London. the right arm. in
human beings is in a majority of cases
longer than the left arm. while. on
the contrary. the left leg is longer than
the right leg.
Sometimes. however. the relative
proportions are exactly reversed but
seldom does perfect equality exist be

Egypt. Before the time Of mints and
