did not mean such names to be SYM

philosopher believed to be at the back
of all things. An atom was not merely
a convenient sign of starting point, like
a cipher or a decimal point. The atom
was talked of almost as if 1t were an
animal known to US all.

The Fiddlers.
BY BRUCE BARTON.

If you have read much Of
biography you know that the
teacher was right. Nothing is
more impressive than the infinite
pains which great men have
taken, not merely to achieve
position, but to keep it.
Emerson tells Of a letter from
an artist friend describing
MichelanseIo's huge mural paint
ing Of the Last Judgment, which
the friend chad the opportunity
Of seeing very near, and was
astonished at the minute finish
Of muscles and nerves, finished
like a miniature" No detail was
too small for the artist whose
shoulders were bent by the long
effort Of finishing his immortal
pictures under the dome of st.
Peters.
Booth, the great actor, was
never satisfied. One night, after
a performance in which he
seemed to the audience to have
surpassed himself, a friend went
to congratulate him.
He "found Booth with his head
in his hands in the deepest de.
lection, from which not even the
praise Of an old friend could
arouse him, disgusted at having
given so miserable q perform
anee."
Whether great success 10
worth what il costs or whether
nnedioerity 10 q happier state are
debatable questions. But there
is no secret about the formula.

between the artist-and the

L ended July 20.
BELGIUM.-The vexed question OF
the German marks destined to become
worthless) left behind in Belgium by
the departing Germans IN lieu OF con- con,
fiscated Belgian marks and their gold
cover, has been settled by negotiation
between representatives of Belgium and
the Reich. Germany is to pay annuitles
over 81 years, whereof the total Is cal
culated to represent present value OF
32O, zoo, 900 Reichs marks Labout the
equivalent of $76,200,0 00). The Belgian
members of the experts committee who
signed the Young plan signed 1t con-
ditionally upon a settlement OF the
marks issue. The sum agreed on Is
short of the Belgian claim by about
one-fifth. The agreement requires ratl-
fication by the Belgian Parliament and
the Reichstag, but such ratif1catlon may
be considered assured.
AUSTRIA.-SaidH Herr Severing, Ger
man minister of the interior, the other
day: I'VE cannot wait any longer
union between Austria and Germany Is
on the march"
Herr Severing overstated the matter
Germany and Austria will have to wait
while longer; but apparently
Anschluss is surely coming. The way
is being solidly prepared. The penal
codes Of the two countries have been
assimilated; the same Of railway regula-
lions, the postal services, etc. The
process resembles that by which the
German empire was created and con-
solidated. Yes. Anschluss is on the
march, but there are yet some Para
sangs to be traversed.
Yet, though the majority Of Aus.
TRANS favor Anschluss, they do so with
out enthusiasm. They recognize 1t al
inevitable and think that a new phase
being in sure prospect, it were best II
should be instituted as soon as pos.

Austria stands to gain by Anschluss; they

LITTLE BUCKAROO" IS
 AT COLISEUM SATURDAY

Every time he makes a new pie ture, Buzz Barton, thirteen-year- old western star, adds few new tricks of horsemanship to provide thrills for his audience, and, unlike many of his older colleagues, throw his old stunts in the discard. Buzz because of his youth, is learnine something novel every day, and ir his latest FBO production, "Tht Little Buckaroo," at the Coliseum Saturday, he demonstrates that ht has been doing a lot of practicine on horseback of late.
 Buzz introduces a new kind oi flying leap from horseback to tht drivers seat. of racing stage. coach, drawn by runaway horses This most difficult feat was ac- complished by the young star in thf face of violent protest from the di- rector, who wished to get double but Buzz would not hear of any one else taking the chances fol him.
