Compares Grand Opera
in Berlin to Picnic:
Lunches Between Acts

Berlin-(By Mail.)-A night at
the Berlin opera is a picnic, in the
literal sense. In fact, it is like
camping out.
The interesting part Of the former
royal opera now is the audience-it
differs so materially from the POM
pous gatherings that filled the build
ing when Wilhelm was ruler of
Germany. The revolution has set
its mark also on Berlin's opera de-
voices.
The glittering, gold braided uni
forms of the imperial era have dis
appeared. So have dress suits and
oven tuxedos. There is an occasion
al plain grey uniform. The rest are
common sack suits of cuts and
shades that for the most part date
back to the pre-war period. The
spirit of the audience is as fiat as
the singing on the stage.
In pre-revolution times sumptu-
Gus supper parties were inevitable
opera sequels. Now the Berlin op-
eragoers take their suppers between
acts. Everybody brings package
of ".'stuelen," as they call sand
wiches, to the opera. And during
the ten or fifteen minutes intervals
between acts the vestibule and cor
ridors remind one strikingly of an
American Sunday excursion party.
Everybody without exception is

MICROBES HAVE LONG LIFE
Neither Time Nor Heat Seem to Have
Much Effect on Some Micro
Organisms.

Eternal youth seems to have been
accorded in full measure to some
microbes. Before the French Academy
of Science Prof. Yves Delage read a
paper reporting discoveries by Doctor
Gallipe, who is credited with finding
in century-Old paper organisms stin
living. According to this report, these
organisms resisted heat Of 24S degrees
Fahrenheit.
Thine no more than heat seems to
have had effect on these little organ
isms, as Doctor Gallipe has found liv-
ing ones in paper of the fifteenth and
eighteenth centuries said Professor
Delage. "They are capable of cultiva-
ton and of movement.
More than that, Doctor Galllpe has
found in fragments of paper of Chi
nese manuscript dating before the age
of printing micro-Organisms still living
and able to move and that multiplied
under suitable methods of culture"

SUBSTITUTE FOR ROYAL ARMS
Placing of Cap and Bells on English
Paper Was the Origin of the
Word "Foolscap."

Several explanations have been CIV
en- Of the meaning of the word ''foOls-
cap" as applied to certain class of
paper. One of the explanations is that
when Charles | of England found his
revenue short, he granted certain priv
ileges, amounting to monOpOlies, and
among these was the manufacture Of
paper, the exclusive right to which
was sold to certain parties, who grew
rich and enriched the government at
the expense of those who were obliged
to use the paper. At this time all
English paper bore, in watermarks
the royal arms. The parliament under
Cromwell made jest of this law, and
among other indignities to the mem
ory of Charles it was ordered that
the royal arms be removed from the
paper and the FOOLS cap and bells be
substituted. These were in their turn
removed when the Rump parliament
was dismissed. but paper for the size
of the parlament's journal still bears
the name of 'fOOlscap."
