No What is it them He went nearer and nearer and what was it but an ugly cid boulder How can I save the train? Nothing rcd around here.

THE THEATRE
The IdlehOur

ID. w Griffith's latest work, "Brok-
en- Blossoms" was told in pictures
because there are no words delicate
or exquisite enough TO have told il.
For, after all, words are crude and
cold
The night winds swaying the bells
of an old temple might have sug-
gested the story. Incense smoke
curling upward in wreaths of mauve
and gray from dim old altar might
have suggested il; or the amber
notes of flute across the waters of
"A shadowy lake. But the story of
Broken Blossoms" never can be told
in words.
1t is a drama of pity and of death.
Ii is the almost forgotten art of
tragedy. II has the sweet, solemn
sense Of the inevitable, the slow
dread tread Of fate, the gentle mel
ancholy Of the death Of beautiful
day.
As The Girl. Miss Lillian Gish de-
serves a place in the very fore front
of modern tragediennes. The marvel
Of her finished artistry is that the
shrinking. Mortified. sobbing child is
always a child. Her terror Of the
death that waits is never the terror
/ of a woman: il is ever the agonized
/ fright Of a little child. The char.
acterization of the Chinaman is deli
cately drawn by Richard Barthelmes.

The prize fighter is a triumph for
Donald Crisp, who fully realizes the
pitiless brutality of this bully of the
London slums.
There is a point beyond which mo-
ton pictures cease to be merely
pictures and become great voiceless
art. Such is Broken Blossoms"
There are those who will see in
this drama merely a piteous tragedy
of sweetness and poignance. But
there are artists who will see subtle
but powerful symbols in the very
simplicity of this narrative of sor-
row. They will see Cheng Huan as
sort of Chinese Sir Galahad, the
knight of the pure heart; and in
Battling Burrows, the INSTALLATION Of
brute materiality. And as in the
case of all great works of art, there
is doubtless more there than the
artist himself knew.-Los Angeles

THE REASON WHY
What Causes the Winds Whistle?

The whistle of the wind is caused very much like the Whistle you make with your mouth or the noise made by the steam escaping through the spout of the kettle. You do not hear the wind whistle when you are out in it. You can hear it when you are in the house and it is blowing hard. When the wind blows against the house it tries to get in through all the crevices, under the cracks of the doors, down the chimneys, wherever it's finds an opening. And whenever it's starts through, an opening that is too small for it. it makes a noise like the steam coming out of the spout of the kettle, providing the opening is of a certain shape.
 Not all the noises made by the wind, however, are made in this way. The wind in blowing against things makes them vibrate like the strings of a piano or violin, and when things vibrate, as we have already seen, they produce sound waves, which, when they strike our ears, produce sounds of various kinds. The wind even on ordinary days makes the telegraph and telephone wires hum, as you can prove to yourself by placing your ear against a tel ph pole.

DISCUSS CASE OF CONDUCT OF
 HUN PRINCE:

Berlin, Tuesday, Aug. 19 - (By A P.)-At a meeting of the citizens of Teltow, a suburb of Berlin today, there was a discussion of the conduct of Prince Friedrich Leopold, cousin of former Emperor William, who, un- like Count Hohenzollern, remained there instead of leaving the country. It was alleged that he had engaged in illicit trading on a large scale and had hoarded large quantities of food.
 Local authorities recently search ed his castle, confscating great sup plies of food which were distributed among hospitals but when they at tempted to bring action against the prince they were told from authori- tative quarters that he was immune, being a member of the royal family. Prince Friedrich has also stored a huge quantity of coal and other fuel with which to heat his castle during the coming winter.

Why Do I SneeZe?

You sneeze sometimes when you look up at the sun or at a bright light. There does not seem to be any real good explanation of why look ing at a bright light should make you sneeze. It is due to the connec- ton there is between the nerves of the eye and the nose. You generally blink if you look at a bright light suddenly, and the blinking process stirs the nerves inside of the nose to make you sneeze.
 You know, of course, that the start of the sneeze Is inside the nose. The nose is, besides being the organ of smell, the channel through which we take air into the lungs, when we breathe properly. The nose is lin- ed with membranes. back of which are a net of very small nerves which are extremely sensitive. They catch and hold the impure particles of matter which come into the nose when we take in a breath of air, and sneezing is only one effective way of cleaning out the nose It is brought on only when some particularly difficult job of nose-cleaning has to be done. Pepper up the nose will make you sneeze quickly, because pepper pro- duces a very great irritation inside the nose, and the nose goes to work at once to get rid of it in the quick est possible manner as soon as the pepper comes in. Other things have the same effect. Sometimes a cold in the head causes you to sneeze. The sneeze in that event is merely na- lures effort to clean out the nose when other efforts have failed.
