The Cheese Box on Raft and the story of it's participation in one of the strangest naval engagements of the Civil War will be the featur" of the sketch this evening when II is broadcast from the WEAF chain of the NEG system at 7:30.
 A ship built entirely of iron. with no superstructurc out a tiny turrCt carrying only two guns-it would be
 preposterous to send such a freak against the Confederate irOn-clai Merrimac. So thought the Union naval board. But the clOquenCe of the ships designer and the ShrcWd advice of President Lincoln tri-
 umphcd. and the Monitor, a New
 York state product, became a reality
 Into Hampton Rolds steamed the
 Cheese Box on a Raft. The heavy Mcrrimac, almost equally strange. with it's sides slanting like d man sard roof. bore down upon it. For several hours the Confederate gum ners tried their craftsmanship on 1 the revolving turret, while the Monitors shots bounded harmlessly off the Merrimac's armor. Both seemed invulnerablo. and after furi- ous cannonading and practically no bloodshcd, each ship withdrew. lt
 was battle without victory, but it spelled the doom of wooden ships.
 The complete story of the Moni- tor, through its inception. it's con- struction and it's historic battle in Hampton Roads, will be related in the drama this evening.

who had killed her betrothed.
She decides to kill both him and
herself with a poison draught. She
orders Brangaene to prepare 1t. Her
companion, however, cannot bring her
self to do So and instead, prepares
another magic draught that will make
Isolde and Tristan fall even more madly

shimmers with dramatic ecstasy as they
stand there, the two lovers gazing at
each other expecting to fall dead at any
moment. Instead they are locked in
each others arms as the ship lands at
Cornwall.

beautiful duet between the lovers at a
clandestine meeting Brangaene's warn

TRISTAN UND ISOLDE"
The story of Wagner's masterpiece,
Tristan und Isolde is not nearly so
complicated as the involved tale OF the
Ring" It Is the love story OF oeau-
tiful Irish princess and the loyal hench-
man to King Mark of Cornwall. Oddly
enough, the writing of this opera was
inspired by an order for an opera given
Wagner by the Emperor of Brazil, South
America. The contract was never com
pleted and the opera produced IN that
country at the time, but the order was
sufficient to cause the composer to lay
aside the unfinished score of "Siegfried
and write what was to be his master

slain in battle with King Marks forces
