Death es King Alexander Of Greece,

Forth Remlnlsesnes.

] The report, which later was denied,
that King Alexander Of Greece died
from the bite of a pet monkey, and
the presentation to the prince OF
Wales of q young koala, or Australian
bear. a mountain devil, and barking
lizard, during his trip around the
world, bring to mind the peculiar pets

women Of history, says bslletin from
the Washington headquarters Of the
National Geographic society.
The natives Of Pisa, Italy, kept
tame eagles. The F1orentines kept
lions, and the Romans had wolves, the
latter as an outgrowth Of the Romulus-
Remus story Of the foundation OF the
city. Many peoples besides the Ro-
mans have made pets of wolves. De-
spite their proverbial ferocity In the
wild state, many, taken as cubs, grow
tame and manifest the traits OF
faithful dog as a. companion.
The history Of the sport of hawk
ing, or falconry, engaged In to some
extent today, extends to prehistoric
times and recalls the intelligent devo-
ton displayed by the pet hawk Of
Genghis Khan, which three times in
succession dashed cup Of water out
Of the hand Of It's master. who was
thirst-parched after a hunt. In order
to save, his life. The water had been
collected drop by drop from q pool on
the height Of a cliff. When the hawk
had deliberately knocked the cup from
his hand for the third time and at
last sent 1t spinning between the rocks,
the master drew his sword and killed
the bird. Then he wearily climbed
the cliff, only to find the dead body Of
the most poisonous variety Of snake
coiled at the bottom OF the clear pool

Death 10 Raas

A study Of barium carbonate N Q
rat poison. made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture, indicates
that a 20 per cent mixture with foed
makes a satisfactory bait With this
percentage a rat ordinarily needs 30
eat only one-thIrd or three-eighfhs Of
q meal OF average size to get a fatal
dose. II was found that with this
dose many Of the rats poisoned died
within "a hours. though an occasional
rat was found which survived an even
larger amount, thus indicating that 100
per cent mortality is not to be expect
Cd In any case.
A summary Of results Of expert
ments conducted by various persons
with a view to determining the dead
illness Of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy Of the assumption
that barfum In poisonous only to rats.
II is pointed out that the fatal desc Of
barium per pound tends TO decrease
relatively as the size Of the animal N
creases, and that a bait calculated ts
be fatal to rats may be assumed TO Be
more or less dangerous to small do
mestic animals also.

The Future of Pictures
AS Elmer Clifton Sees ii

1.-The big coming American photo
plays will deal with our national in
dustrial life" says Elmer Clifton, the
motion picture director "Our indus.
tries are the backbone of cur nation
and if our screen drama is to catch the
keynote Of our life it must reflect this
note of commerce and business.
at seems to me radically wrong for
our directors to attempt the historical
spectacle, except where it concerns orr
country's past. s
eve are essentially of to-day. And.
to-day in America represents indus-
trial life and interests. We are thu
clearing house of the world. 1t is easy.
to see that this is our forte in motion
picture literature.
Let Europe and Continental film
makers be concerned with dead things
with reproductions of the glamor OF
other days when their nations ruled
supreme. We of America have our own
interests and if our photoplay is to be
reflection Of ourselves it must desl
with thess vital things Of our to-day.

An Actor Since Three,
santley Upholds Stage
Life for Youngsters

If the Gerry Society expects to carry
on campaign against stage children
without opposition, it has reckoned
without Joseph Santley. That young
actor hastens to the defence of the
stage kiddie, offering not only his case
but those CT many other prominent
players as arguments against the Gerry
policies.
"The conditions governing stage
work." says Mr.. Santley, differ greatly
from those that prevail in the factory
or the store, and, therefore, the thea
ter cannot be regarded in the same
light. It's people, for the most part,
are men and women of education and
breeding, and the environment in
which the child lives and works can
hardly be compared with that of the
sweatshop.
Some of the best known of present
day players" he continues, "were
reared behind the footlights. To-day
they own beautiful homes and are the
heads of fine families. Maude Adams
began her stage career as a child, and
so did Ernest Truck, George M. Cohan,
Wallace Eddinger, Mabel and Edith
Taliaferro, Eddie Cantor and countless
others.
"The modern theatrical youngster
usually has it's mother as a personal
escort and in many cases a tutor as
we'll. New York and other large cities
boast schools especially devoted to the
education of these youthful actors,
many of whom have been personally
Improved since becoming professionals
as witness the manner in which Gus
Edwards developed into high salaried
players urchins he had picked off the
streets"
Santley himself is representative of
the American actor born upon the
stage. The word 'theater" is sus-
pended from every branch of his
family tree, and when he was three
years old he made his debut as the
little prince in "Richard III"
