Voices Across the Sea.

That was very notable cablegram
which The Star received the other
day from an American who is now resi-
dent of Cartagena, Colombia. His radio
receiving set brought him last Satur-
day night, as clearly as if the speech
had been delivered in some nearby
South American country, the address
which Senator Nye of North Dakota
gave in the National Forum, arranged
by The Star, over a Nationwide hook
up OF the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn.
"At GAS O'Clock Saturday night" Mr.
j. w. Flanagan of Cartagena, tele-
graphed, Senator NyeS wonderful
speech was very distinctly heard here
Thanks to radio and The Wash
ington Star, the work so unselflshly
and periodically directed by himself is
appreciated not only at home, but
throughout the world"
1t would be difficult to conceive a
more classic illustration of the Won
drous, far-reaching power of broadcast
ing. Voices have taken the place of

ministers, foreign secretaries, scientists
philosophers, poets, now commonly ut

own peoples or nearby nations. They

Burma's independence.

FROM the Oakland Tribune.
Burma, which geographically, racial
ly, socially and economically is a nation
apart" has achieved its independence of
India. At least at the recent Congress
OF Indian Affairs it was promised a
separate government and is now petit
tioning for dominion status under a
constitution.
There is to be a new "Road to Man
dalay" and new conditions which have
come up, even as did the dawn, like
thunder" Geographically, Burma is in
dependent. 1t is little niche by itself
surrounded by almost impossible noun
tains and jungles and with the Bay of
Bengal on the south. Yet, says the
National Geographic Society," Burma's
greatest divergence from India, and the
main reason for its divorce from the
empire, lies in the economic field. In

mills. Burma, interested in agriculture,
mining and forestry, and with little
or no manufacturing, was taxed heavily
for its manufactured goods as part of
India, without deriving any benefit
from the arrangement. 1t was this
tipsy balance of trade that brought the
separation project toaa head.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Love and Philosophy.

Love and Philosophy.
Says Larry, "It can't be denied
That deep in love am I.
I mention it with candid pride,
And often with sigh.
But if you ask what love can be,
I'll greet you with disdain
And ask why you should trouble me
About things you can't explain.
"Since our philosophers declare
That mysteries so great
Are thrown about us everywhere
Our lives to complicate,
I'll be like Einstein and will show,
With confidence so grand,
Things that quite readily I know
The world can't understand"

The Municipal Center.

With the submission TO the Bureau
of the Budget by the District Commits
sioners of an estimate of $1,511,16 as
the initial amount to be included in the
1882 appropriations for the District
Municipal Center, an approximate time
schedule is outlined to indicate the
prospective progress of this work. OF
the amount stated, 1886, 664 is specified
for the work of clearing the site, a
contract for which is to be let, it is
expected, about January /, 1882. This
will not be the entire amount required
for this purpose, but is all that will be
spent in the appropriation period end
ing in June, 1882. Similarly 81, Oo0, 900
Is asked for the construction of the
first unit of the group, the courts build
ing, the total-cost of which is estimated
at $4,000 900, and contract for which
will be let about March !, 1882. This
initial million will cover the first stage
of the work within the appropriation
period.
Thus it appears that in a little less
than year the first actual move in
construction will be made on the site,
the acquisition of which has been in
progress for some months, and which
has now progressed TO the point at
which the enterprise itself can be
| undertaken. OF the total site about
6S per cent has been purchased at a
cost of $4,413,676. BY well before the
time when it will be needed for con-
struction the remainder of the area
will be in the Districts possession.
No estimate is made of the time when
the administration building, which will
be the third step in the procedure and
the second construction unit of the
group, viii be ready for occupancy
This, however, will be a period of sew
eral years. Until then the District gov

@. Please give directions for the care
of a monkey.-W. @.
A. Monkeys are natives OF warm
climates and cannot endure low tenn
peratures: therefore they should be pro-
vided with heated quarters, at least
curing cold weather If the animal Is
to be confined continually, the cage
should not be less than 4 feet in each
dimension. The cage should be entirely
tight, with only the front wired. thus
preventing draughts, which are fatal to
these animals. Oftentimes they are
troubled with external parasites, and
therefore should be bathed at Intervals
with creolin. Insect powders are found
to be effective The following is pre-
scribed as a diet: Vegetables, raw or
cooked; boiled rice; ripe fruit bananas,
oranges, sweet apples: stale bread; oc-
occasionally n bit of well cooked chicken;
fresh MIX, to which a raw egg has
been added; water should be provided
at all times.

A. Various commentators have adj

Like It as a proverbial motto, and this
seems more likely To imply the true
explanation of the title of Shakespeare
play. The title of the comedy may on
this superstition be exactly parallel with
that of Much Ado About Nothing.
The proverbial title of the play implies
the freedom of thought and indiffer-
ence to censure which characterize the

in this comedy of human nature in q
