Movie Theaters In Rid.

It is at the cinema theaters that the Cariocas (citizens of Rio de Ja- neiro) know real comfort; for, un- like our moving-picture houses, those in Rio have spacious waiting rooms, where you sit, listening to ex- cellent music, until the hour for the first reel comes round. The pioneer house of the kind inaugurated this custom, and now the people refuse to stand outside waiting for the even bour to arrive or to enter after the film has started. With so much profit able space taken from the auditorium, tbe movies in Rio JaneirO are not as great money-makers as with US. The American favOrites are popular, quite outcIassing Italian and Brazilian film stars.-Harriet Chalmers Adams in Ma tional Geographic Magazine.

WRITER MUST HAVE STYLE
Without It, Declares Arnold Bennett, He Will Be Unable to Get His
 Message Understood.

You cannot have good matter with bad style. Examine the point more closely. A man wishes to convey a fine idea to you. He employs a form of words. That form of words is his style. Having read, you say: Yes, this idea is fine" The writer IS therefore achieved his end. But in what imaginable circumstances can you say. "Yes, this idea is fine, but the style is not fneT" The sole me- dium of communication between you and the author has been the form of words. The fine idea has reached you. How? In the words, by the words. Hence the fneness must be in the words. You may say, superiority: "He has expressed himself clumsily, but can see what he means" By what light? By something in the words, in the style. That something Is fine. Moreover, if the style Is clumsy, are you sure that you can see what he means? You cannot be quite sure. And at any rate, you cannot see dis tinctly. The matter" is what actually reaches you, and it must necessarily be affected by the style.-Arnold Bennett.

Alone In the Jungle.

Mrs. Clement, an English woman who has achieved a reputation as traveller and explorer says: '"TO be alone even for a minute in the jungle is alarming, for such is the profound silence all around that one has a ter rifying sense of being inimically watched by unseen things" Of the forest noises one of the most uncanny is the bowling of balloons. When they are close at hand, the whole air is alive with the din, so that you can- not tell from which direction 1t pro ceeds. Every nerve in your body tin gles, and there is a curious fascina- tion in the great volume of sound"

Clocks Run Faster at Night.

Berkeley, Calif.-Here's the scien- tiffc explanation of why the alarm clock goes eff so early in the morn ing. Clocks run faster at night than in daytime w. w. Campbell, director of Lick observatory of the University of California, in his annual report to the president of the university, an nounced that R. Fl. Tucker, an Obser- vatory astronomer, has made this startling discovery regarding time pieces. "The ultimate cause of the phenomenon is obscure" the report states, ''but an exhaustive program of observation so far has borne out the hypothetical conclusion that clocks run faster at night than in daytime" The discovery is of vast importance to astronomers who depend upon clock corrections.

Boston. - Chinese merchants of Providence, Manchester, N. H., and Boston have been defrauded out of thousands of dollar in the last few weeks, according to estimates of po- lice here. A metal badge with the words "Chicken Inspector" inscribed on it was the means whereby a man and young woman had swindled Chinese restaurant owners. The two are said to have entered many res taurants and demanded to see the chicken on hand. On examination of the meat they condemned it as unfit, and under threat of fines and other penalties, persuaded the prOprietOrs to hand over hush" money.

The Private Secretary.

The next morning I testified before the coroner's fury over the crushed body of Wine and later appeared in the room of the grand jury which indicted Waldron. On both these occasions told enough to make matters reasonably clear, vet carefully avoided any direct mention of Miss Gessler. No doubt her name would be brought into the case later. but I was determined it should not be introduced through any indiscre- ton on my part. Krantz's name was used, but only indirectly, and the im- presslon was left upon me that in- duence was being brought to bear to shield the banker from any direct connection with the crime.

In the mean- while 1 must discover the girl, and learn from her own lips, if possible, just how deeply she was involved. Then, and then only, could 1 decide upon my own future course. But how was to locate her? 1 had nothing to guide me in the search. There were only two people to whom 1 could turn for even a ggestiOn-Krantz, the banker, and Sarah WaldrOn. doubted if either would reveal the truth. but I could use the threat of exposure against Krantz, and might thus terrorize him into revealing the truth. 1 decided that if the girl did not call me by phone before noon the next day would certainly exhaust every effort to find her. She would assuredly learn by that time what had occurred, but, whether she so desired or not, was not willing to let her drop out of my life. would learn, at least, whatever AdOlph Krantz knew about her.
 The hours dragged away bringing no message, the silence merely strengthening my resolution and in- creasing my interest. After a lonely lunch, in which her face seemed ever before me, l took a taxi and drove direct to the bank. 1 crossed the mar ble-floored lobby and approached a desk rather dOubtfully. A middle aged man glanced up from bis work, and listened quietly to my question, examining my card attentively.
 "Ah, yes, United States consular service-Is see. l regret to say that Mir. Adolph Krantz is not in the bank today. In fact he is out of town, possibly for a week. Yes, he left rather suddenly for Washington. Per haps you might talk with his secre- tary." |

The third door stood partly open, giv- ing me a glimpse within before l ventured to enter. The place had far more the appearance of a private H. brary than a downtown business of fee. A woman was bending over the further desk, busied at some work. With heart beating somewhat faster I ventured to open the door sufficient ly wide to enter.
 There was no one else present, but her head instantly lifted. and she rose

 His tone was friendly enough, and 1t was quite evident that my acquaint- ance with the banker had already given me new standing.
 This is the end of the Ava murder and robbery" I said directly; "one of the men is dead, the other lies in there senseless, while the money they were after is there also in a valise untouched"

speech with ease and made her talk
On the development of the asthelic
nature of the child. She also asked
the association to indorse the move
ment for the Juvenile court in Brunsi

cations of the city are in favor of
this it is hoped that the P. T. AS will;

troduced plan of a health crusade
which the school will soon be the in
stigator of and which will be oper-

Next Mr.. j. W. Morris commercial
teacher from Glynn High School gave
his talk which he said chad no topic"
but was very good topic, after it's
leliverance. While he only occupied
a few minutes he brought in many
humorous remarks, asking every one
to "boost the schools, boost the
teachers and make the child feel that
school is worth while that they would
get better cooperation.
Mr.. Eadie, last On the program,
hut not least, brought in short talk
which, had the afternoon not been
growing to close, would have been
enjoyed for longer time. Mr.. Eadie
suggested to instill confidence in the
child, to make him have confidence
in his or her school and teachers,
that would result in better work from
the children. :
After these interesting speakers,
there being no further business on
