Mysterious Dr. Flu Manchu," taken from the pages of Sax Rohmer's $ world-famous books and made to live on the talking screen at the Coliseum.
 Gripping, awful mystery eerie footsteps in the dead of night-an unseen hand spreading terror and destruction-a beautiful girl hypno- tized to work the will of a cruel maniac-and love dominating, con- trolling, triumphing in the mystic maze of revengeful career.
 "The Mysterious Dr. Flu Manchu' is one of the greatest mystery stor- ies ever written and it is one oi the greatest moving pictures ever made. In dialog and swift action the strange, crafty, villain, who thrilled millions in Sax Rohmer's books, comes to life, spreads out before us on the screen, inspires us with nameless terror, spurs us on to his capture and leaves Us with a thankful feeling of relief when, captured at last, he clears the way for true love.
 Warner Oland in the title role is great. The master villain of the screen has been doing oriental roles for years but never have his per formances approached the perfec- tion of this one Jean Arthur and Neil Hamilton are irresistible as a pair of young lovers.

islands In the world Birds Of vari-
GUS species flock there yearly, among
them being the albatross, which ar

white albatross lays one egg, usually
on the ground. The eggs vary IN
shape and colora ton. Some are long
length 111.6 millimcters, width Go.5
millimeters-others short and very
thick, in length about 100 millimeters,
width 70 millimeters.
In color most Of them are nearly
white, with irregular patches and
spots Of brownish maroon at the larg

said to be considered the finest Of all
for eating, and are said to be superior
even to those of the domestic hens for
this purpose.

helpful in cases of need and sickness
among her friends and neighbors.
CHEEKY disposit on and through all OF
her illness she was seldom heard to
make any complaint, being apparent
ly satisfied with life as it came to
her. She seemed to have become
resigned to the fact that life held
nothing in store for her except such
as she could make of 't, and there
fore through all of her illness, COW
er n2 a period of about so years, she
had the same bright and cheerful
smile, and was ready to help when
ever she was needed. She was a
great lover Of animals and flowers,
and she could see beauties in these
where others would pass them by
without a thought. She was quite a
reader of books, newspapers and
magazines, and she had one favorte
poem which she requested might be
read at her funeral service, and that
was Tennyson's when l Gross the
Bar" At the funeral ceremony this
poem was read, and was also sung
by the choir with very beautiful
effect
So far as she was able physically
SO to do she lived useful and ener

that on her 58th birthday she re
ceiyed 100 birthday cards from
places all over the United States.
And it was great delight to her to
know that so many Of her fr ends

Hard Metals

In one respect the diamond has al
ways stood pre-eminent in the mineral
world-that of hardness. Other sub
stances have rivaled it In beauty and
at least one, the ruby, outranks 1t in
cost but none In the whole list equals
II In hardness.
Since the invention of the electric
furnace, however, which is capable of
producing a heat equal to 1000 de-
grees F., at least two products have
been prepared which have supplanted
the diamond even in hardness.
Experimenters have succeeded In
producing titanium in the electric
furnace. In its pure form it is much
harder than steel or quartz, and when
combined with silicon, to form sill
eide Of titanium, or with boron, to
form boride of titanium, 1t surDasses
the diamond itself in this quality.
