HARPERS FERRY AND BOLIVAR
NEWS.

Scientists say this extraordinary
warm weather of the present summer
is caused by an unusual down pour
of meteors on the sun. Professor
T. S. Lee, government astronomer at
the Navy Yard in California, blames
the heat on the meteors. He says
since a mass of meteoric matter
greater than one moon is falling in
to the sun every century it is improb-
able that the down pour proceeds at
uniform rate. 1t comes down in
gusts under the actions of the chief
planets Jupiter and Satrun which are
now near conjunction and are seen
together in the evening sky.

POLI'S.

Worlds Apart" in which hand Polls theatre the last half of this week, is one of those interesting dramas in which the upper crust of society and the deniZenS of the un- derworld are thrown together by the hand Of Fate.
 MT. O'Brien plays the part of scion of an old, iI1ustrious family, who is tilted by the girl of his choice because of her desire for more money. His dreams shattered, he marries a girl whom he has met through his intervening when she at temptS suicide. He never knows any thing of her past until a guest at their home is killed. A servant ac- cused of the crime, turns out to be his wifes father.
 The manner in which the mystery is solved is an entirely original one, and the injection of an Oriental at mosphere into the story adds greatly te it's interest
 The vaudevi offerings will please lovers of fun and melody. The fea- ture act, goth Century Revue" is a iazzy musical offering that goes over big. Crse6on and Davis register in tinia style. Carl and Inez sing and talk in g. comedy vein. Violet Carl son, the Southern Girl" has person. ality and pep. Evelyn DeLyons and Company present a real novelty. The whole show is a good one.

Concert Sunday Will Appeal To

An interesting program will be pre- sentedu Sunday afternoon at Polls theatre by Harvey Hubbell, Inc, Con cert band, directed by Dr. G. E.

The organization backed by Harvey Hubben, an ardent worker for the cause of good music and foStered by the efforts of pr. Conterno, shows what can be done with a plain, garden variety of parade Sand.
 Acting as soloist will be John Adam Hugo, musician, composer and in strum entalist of which the city may well be proud.- MT. Hugo's musical prowess has reached New York and his achievements are Bridgeport's pride.

 I turned it over in my mind.

 "Exactly. Since it is morally justi- fable I have only to consider the question Of personal risk. Surely a gentleman should not lay much stress upon this, when a lady is in most desperate need of his help?" ..You will be in such a false posi- tion.''

 There is no other possible way of re- gaining these letters. The unfortun- ate lady has not the money, and there are none of her people in whom she could confide.

 I nodded, and stood by the door. My first feeling of fear had passed away, and l thrilled now with keen CT zest than I had ever enjoyed when we were the defenders of the law in- stead of it's defiers. The high object of our mission, the consciousness that it was unselfsh and chilvalrous, the villainous character of our opponent, all added to the sporting interest of the adventure. Far from feeling guilty, rejoiced and exulted in our dangers. With a glow of admiration I watched Holmes unro1ling his case of instruments and choosing his tool with the calm, scientific accuracy of operation. I knew that the opening of safes was a particular hobby with him, and I understood the job which it gave him to be confronted with dragon which held in its maw the regulations of many fair ladies. Turning up the cuffs of his dress coat-he had placed his overcoat on Q chair-Holmes laid out two drills, Q jemrny, and several skeleton keys I stood at the center door with my eyes glancing at each of the others. ready for any emergency, though, in oeed, my plans were somewhat vague as to what I should do if we were

Finally I heard click, the broad green door. swung open, and inside had a glimpse of a num- Der of paper packets, each tied. seal ed and inscribed. Holmes picked one out, but 1t was hard to read by the f1ickering fire, and he drew out his little dark lantern, for 1t was too dangerous with Milverton in the next room, to switch on the electric light. Suddenly l saw him halt, listen in tently. and then in an instant he had swung the door of the safe to, picked up his coat, stuffed his tools into the pockets. and darted behind the win dow curtain, motioning me to do the same,

peeped through. From the pressure of Holmes shoulder against mine knew that he was sharing my ob- servations. Right in front of us, and almost within our reach, was the broad. rounded back of MiIverton. It was evident that we had entirely mis- calculated his movements, that he had never been to his bedroom, but that he had been sitting up in some smoking or billiard room in the farth- CT wing of the house, the windows of which we had not seen. His broad, grizzled head, with it's shining patch of badness, was in the immediate foreground of our vision. He was leaning far back in the red leather chair, his legs outstretched, a long, black cigar projecting at an angle military. smoking jacket, claret-col- ored, with a black velvet collar In his hand he held a long. legal docu- ment which he was reading in an in bacco smoke from his lips as he did so. There was no promise of a speedy departure in his composed bearing and his comfortable attitude.
 felt Holmes hand steal into mine and give a reassuring shake, as if to say that the situation was within his powers, and that he was easy in his mind. was not sure whether he had seen what was only too ob-. vious from my position, that the door Of the safe was innperfectly closed. and that Milverton might at any mo-
 nent observe it. In my own mind I had determined that if were sure. from the rigidlty of his gaze, that 1t had caught his eye. would at once spring out, throw my great coat over his head, pinion him. and leave shei rest to Holmes. But MiIverton never looked up. He was Ianguidly inter- ested by the papers in his hand, and page after page was turned as hes followed the argument of the lawyer.

The Meaning of Apocalypse

What is the significance of the word Apocalypse ?"
 The qu scion was propounded so often in connection with Metros ex- tra special De Luxe production of the world famous novel, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" by Vim cente Blasco Ibanez that Webster was called upon to answer 1t.
 Webster's definition of the word is "a revelation; a disclosure" In the early Greek version of the Bible, the last book of the New Testament was called "The Apocalypse of St John In the later versions of the Bible, the book became the ''Revela- tions,'' familiar to all present-day students of the book:
 Pronunciation of the word. which also is shown by numerous correspon- dents of Metros as an all but unsur- mountable stumbling block, has been solved by Webster by placing the em- phasis on the second syllable.
 Visualizing the symbolic figures of '@The Four Horsemen" which has baffled some of the worlds greatest painters, finally has been ac- complished for the colossal Metro production in a manner that ought to prove satisfactory to the most ex- acting. Probably the most interest," ing visualization of the "Horsemen," :" was found in Albrecht Durer's ortgt- nal set of wood etchings, done in the year 1511. The drawings. pictured during the age of religious zealots, were borrowed rom ther present owner who insisted that he personally act as their custodian during the weeks that they were used at Metros s West Coast studios as reference works.
 The original wood cuts, upon which art connoisseurs have refused to set a price, form but a small feature of a collection of art treasures that are seen in the production. The total value set by insurance appraisers up on the tapestries, paintings and other borrowed art works was S450, 900. It was generally agreed, however, that they could not be purchased at this, or any other price.
 In it's original book form i'The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" has passed its 165th edition, having been read in every quarter of the civilized world. In its translation by Metro to the screen the epochal story was visualized by cast of 12,50o persons, of whom there are two dozen princi- pa1S,

When a. man has plenty of money and his wife refuses to spend 1t, pre- ferring to do her own housework in stead of engaging servants, can he be blamed if he seeks others upon which to lavish his money?

greenhouse which opens into the drawing-room."
 The place was locked, but Holmes removed a circle of glass and turned the key from the Inside. An instant afterwards he had closed the door be- hind us, and we had become fe1ons in the eyes of the law. The thick, warm air of the conservatory and the rich, choking fragrance of exotic plants took us by the throat. He led me swiftly past banks of shrubs which brushed against our faces. Holmes had remarkable powers, care- fully cultivated. of seeing in, the dark. Still holding my hand in one of his, he opened a door, and I was vaguely conscious that we had entered a. large room in which a cigar had been smoked not long before. He felt his way among the furniture, opened another door and closed it behind us. Putting out my hand I felt several coats hanging from the wall, and I understood that I was in a. passage. We passed along it, and Holmes very gently opened a door upon the right hand side. Something rushed out at us and my heart Sprang into my mouth, but I could have 1aughted when I realized that it was the cat. A fire was burning in this new room, and again the air was heavy with to-
 bacco smoke. Holmes entered on tiptoe, waited for me to follow, and then very gently closed the door. We were in Milverton's study, and 8 DOT tiere at the farther side showed the entrance to his bedroom.
 It was a good fire. and the room was illuminated by it. Near the door I saw the gleam of an electric switch, but it was unnecessary, even if it had been safe, to turn it on. At one side of the fireplace was a heavy curtain which covered the bay window we had seen from outside. On the other side was the door which communi- cated with the veranda. A desk stood in the center, with a. turning chair of shining red leather. Opposite was a large bookcase. with a marble bust of Athene on the top. In the corner. there stood a tall, green safe, the freight flashing back from the poll ished brass knobs upon it's face. Holmes stole across and looked at 1t. Then he crept to the door of the bed room. and stood with slasnting head from within. Meanwhile it had struck me that it would be wise to secure our retreat through the other door, so I examined it. To my arnazernent, 1t touched Holmes on the arm, and he turned his masked face in that direc- ton. saw him start, and he was evidently as surprised as I.
 "I don't like it," he whispered. put ting his lips to my very ear. "I can't quite make it out. Anyhow, we have no time to loose."
 "Can do anything?"
 "Yes, stand by the door. If you hear anyone come. bolt 1t on the in side, and we can get away as we came. If they come the other way, we can get through the door if our
 job is done, or hide behind these win-
