In the first volume of Count Mole's
Memoirs. just published In Paris by the
Marquis de Noailles under the title of

Daily Mail, there are many interesting
and touching anecdotes of the great Ma
poleon Mole was one of the Minister'S
picked out by him at the age of %, and
was a devoted adherent and counselor
10 whom he often opened his mind.
This was Moles impression of Ma
poleon after his. first interview: Ma
poleons figure seen so closely as / saw
1t was far more imposing than ! had
ever imagined His head was magnifi-
cent and like none that / had seen be-
fore. I recognized in his features all
the qualities which raise men above
their kind and give them the power OF
dominating, but none of the virtues
which make them loved or esteemed in
the conditions Of daily life"
He once heard Napoleon disputinG
with a group of French scientists the
veracity OF Genesis:

fluential persons residing in the island,
including teachers. mayors and doctors.
is to meet soon to appoint delegation,
which will present the complaints of the
islanders to the French Government
Corslca's first complaint is that 1t
does not figure in the official lists of
sights worth seeing in France. The in
haibitants rarely see the British or Amer
lean tourist and but few Frenchmen
ever have visited the island to see Its
wonderful mountains, forests and pic
turesque villages.
The delegation will be instructed to
protest that the resources of Corsica
are not adequately developed It's fruits
often are left to rot. and the vegetables
grown are never exported because no
French importers have attempted to
make connections.
The Corsicans wish also to remedy
their system OF transportation. There
is but one railway. running north and
south from Bastia to Ajaccio. Bad roads
are numerous. and many of them will
not allow two cars to pass.
Corsica boasts of tall waterfalls. and
of soil yielding rich minerals, yet fac
tories are unknown. There is but little
commerce of any description, the in
habitants usually having to leave their
homes when young to earn living on
the mainland. returning to Corsica later
If successful. The delegation will lay a
complete set Of complaints before the
Government, and may threaten to open
commercial negotiations with other
countries.

Peasant who pretends not TO hear him.
and the Rich Man. who tries 10 defy
him. But finally they also have to yield
10 the pressure Of Death. although with
the utmost resistance. Now the Be0gdr
returns TO the stage. He Is supposed to
have come back from the forests, and he
has grown a long beard, which has be-
come snowy white. When he recognizes
Death his face brightens up. he spreads
his arms to him and asks him anxious
ly: '"Takest. thoui me away now, In this
very hour? 2? Death mods to him In
silence. and the Be00ar kneels down and
kisses the ground under his feet, his
dear earth" that is going to receive
him into peaceful rest until his hour OF
resurrection comes. For him the hour
of salvation comes as a long cherished
hope. The play has reached its end. the
stage darkens. Music sounds through
songs, the de Profundis" is heard from
afar. The disembodied souls reenter.
The Angel dismisses The World who has
finished her task. and guides the souls
up before the face of The Master into
eternal light Only the Rich Man is re-
fused admittance. He kneels down in
the dark.
Spectators Leave In silence.
No applause is allowed, owing to the
sacredness OF the house. and the spec
tators leave 1t in deep silence, some of
them with tears in their eyes and almost
all of them deeply impressed. The Arch
bishop knew what he did when he per-
mitted Max Reinhardt. the great en-
chanter. to stage his World Theater
in one of his most beautiful churches.
His will be the harvest.

make the figure of The World impos-

the able management OF Reinhardt none
OF the partners In the performance could
be called failures.
There is a tremendous contrast be-
tween the somewhat gloomy atmosphere
of the mystery play and the gay life in
the smart little municipal theater, the
timely home of oZart, who was a native
of Salzburg. The mood ruling there
night after night can only be compared
with prickling French champagne. Of
Mozart's operas Don Juan ''The
Marriage of Figaro, 'Cosi fan lutte"
and THE Abduction from the Seraglio"
have. been chosen for this occasion.
1.-THE Magic Flute" was left away for
some reason or other. Richard Strauss,
the famous composer, and Franz Schalk
of the Vienna State Opera, conduct the
orchestra and Mr.. Breuer of the State
Opera and Mr.. Stangenberg of the Royal
Theater in Stockholm are the stage
managers. The rather conservative but
suggestive decorations are the work of
Mr.. Alfred Roller, stage decorator of the
Vienna State Opera. The orchestra is
combination of those artists OF the
Philharmonic Orchestra of Vienna who
did not take part in this years journey

of members of the orchestra Of the

UNCLE SAM AND GOLF.
The Government Is Giving Away Bent
Grass for Greens.

With the ancient game of golf be-
coming more widely played and the mum
Der OF courses increasing rapidly, the
United States department of agriculture
in connection with its general work on
grasses, is giving attention to the selec-
ton of special strains OF grasses adapted
to the requirements OF the links. That
this work may be most effective the de-
partment is cooperating with the United
States Golf association, and several
specialists in the bureau OF plant indus
try We're appointed members OF the
greens committee of that association
A great deal of effort has been wasted
III the building up OF COLL courses be-
cause of lack of understanding OF the
different kinds of grasses and the meth
DDS of establishing a turf. Many men
interested in the game have been the vic
tins of seed takers and self-stYled eX-
perts. As a result golfers have welcomed
information on the subject from the de
partment and clubs in many parts of
the country have called on the depart
ment for advice and information. This
fall a number of greens are being put
in on courses at Columbus and Akron,
Ohio. and demonstration green on q
course at Chicago.
The best results are obtained bv the
department with pure strains of creeping
bent, a grass of uniform color and tex
ture and resistant to wear. These
strains have been selected and increased
on the department experiment farm at
Arlington. Virginia, and are now grown
commercially by two or three cOmDa-
mics. These strains OF bent grass are
IN BY the veoetative method insteaf
of from seed-that is, the stations. or
runners. are cut up and spread upon the
ground where a turf is desired.
The grass is first grown IN nursery
rows to obtain the increase needed for
planting the greens To give golf club
a start of this grass the department viii
furnish enough 'stolons to plant five or
six linear feet of nursery rows. In one
year If well handled this viii produce
enough increase to plant ilYe average
golf greens. This fall such starts of
grass are being furnished TO 50 clubs
Grass was sent to about the same num-
Der last year.
