The music-room appropriately arrayed with s stage and with & regular drop curtain and other es of a theater. The scenery was ted by Messrs. Lawlér and Harper; Dr. rry Tevis acted as stage manager and ar- ged the programme. There was a large any present to enjoy the novel entertain- Le first number was a carnival scene, with masqueraders in the street and balconies filled with ladies. Mrs. McGavin and Miss Lawler sang end Mrs. Percy Moore, Miss Ella Hobart end Miss Frances Moore executed a Spanish dance. This was followed with & number of silhouettes, for which Frank Deering read ap- priate verses, Miss Genevieve Goad posed n & tablean as Gibson's “American Girl,” and Miss Sara Collier as Du Maurier’s “Trilby,” as filustrated by the author. Then there was s laughable travesty on “Hamlet,” with William Carrigan as Hamlet, Addison Mizner as Ophelis and Frank L. Owen &s the ghost. After an intermission there wes a minstrel show in which Carrigan and Owen brought down the house with references to the Gaiety irl$ trip to Burlingame in the “Ha Ha Fami! song. ¥ % Milton S. Latham and Miss Aifleen Goad did some clever acting in a character sketch. The most amusing thing of the evening was _the final number, a take-of on the Young Ladies’ Orchestra,in which Karl Howard represented Professor Scheel. The ladies were represented by Will Carrigan, Addi- son Mizner, Mr. Noble, Mr. Hooper and Allen St. John Bowie, who performed on “bazoos,” while Miss Alice Ames, Miss Goad and Miss Younger really furnithed the music. Mr. Hooper and Miss Lawler sang several duets. At the conclusion of the performance a sup- per was served. Mrs. J. N. Dolph, wife of the Oregon Senator, who is visiting Mrs. Peter Donahue and Mrs. Edward Martin, had given in her honor by her hostesses a dinner at their residence on Bryant street iast Sunday evening. Covers were laid for sixteen. In the dining-room the color tone was rose pink. An immense bank of Papa Gontier roses ornamented the round table. The chandeliers and candelabra, shaded in pink, shed a soft warm glow over the elegantly appointed table. The mantels were banked with flowers, while hothouse plants and vases of lilies added to the beauty of the floral effect. Those invited to meet Mrs. Dolph were: Gen- eral Forsyth, Senator and Mrs. J. M. Thu ston, Generel and Mrs. J. C. Cowen; Judge and Mrs, McKenna, Mr. and Mrs. J. Downey Miss Isabel McKenne, S, G. Murp Greenway and Andrew D. Martin.

Crocker thinks the time is not far off when, by artificial means, we shall be able to effect a consid- erable modification of the climate of our cities. It has already been suggested to utilize the heat of the tropics for temper- ing the harshness of colder climates by transforming the sun’s rays into electricity. In the tropics the solar energy develops a force of about one horsepower to each The floor was under the management of Thomas A. Mooney, assisted by George Deady.

Buena Vista Parlor No. 68, N. D. G. W., held n meeting at Friendship Hall, Alcazar The Posiite arons] o ik yive s It e Tuesday evening at Odd F;llnwnflnln.p. vl The Silver Star Social Club gave an entertain- ment and dance at Social Hall, Aleazar build- ing, on Thursday evening iast and the follow- ;:g pmun;m.wu r‘endend :u Ph.nnE:olo, Miss aggie 1rving; recitation, Miss 'a Peck; votal duet, Heary and Louise von Gelsterteldt recitation, Mrs. Walker; violin solo, Abe Weiss; mandolin and guitar solo, by the San square yard of the surface exposed, and as there the sun’s action is almost continuous the force would be fairly reliable. But Professor Crocker’s idea is much simpler than this. He proposes to pipe ‘l}l:: air irom a distance, as we now pipe water, oil. natural gas, coal dust, milk and even wine. A thin steel tube of five feet diameter would carry an enormous quantity; much more than any one would realize who had not figured it out. Such a pipe line as this would not be very expensive, and wonld present much less matenal difficulty of equipment than a railroad. A pipe 3000 miles long would stretch from the tropical to the arctic zone. In spite of the apparent wildness of this suggestion, Professor Crocker re; s it as not half so daring as was the idea of laying a cable under the Atlantic. The difficulties to be overcome then were greater than any obstacles whic! this enterprise would meet. Science has brushed aside so many hindrances and Embed so many secrets that it is now very ard to define its limitations. The time may come when we shall be justas anxious and just as active in providing means for a fresh air supply for our cities as we now are to have pure water available, In all probability the idea will first be tried on a small scale, such as piping theair from the nearest seaside resort, but the extension of the system to long distances is per- fectly feasible. Professor Crocker’s reputed idea is that this control of climates would have to be done by national, rather than State or municipal action, and would probably require co-operation between this Government and the Canadian and Mexi- can Governments. Such a pipe line as has been suggested would have to extend from some of the very cold regions of the far north clear into the tropics. We should thus be able to draw cold air from the north and warm air from the south. This would also give a means of controlling the rainfall. A cold blast would be turned on when rain was needed and a hot blast when it was desirable to keep it away. This idea may possibly be worked out in course of time, but in the meantime some electric central stations are proposing to supplement their -regular business in sup- plying to their customers cool air in sum- mer and warm air in winter, and, in all grobability, this less ambitious scheme will e the first to be put into working shape. TELEEONING BY LiGaT.—Professor Alex- ander Graham Bell believes that telephon-. ing by means of a beam of light will yet be commercially practicable. This bcllc.f has groewn out of a long course of experi- ments with selenium. Selenium is mar- velously sensitive to the influence of ]‘lght when it is exposed, to which it gives vibra- tions which can be electrically transmitted. This remarkable power of transmission in- duced Professor Bell to test other materials with a view to discovering the same phe- nomenon. He placed various substances in a test tube, and, after making a connec- tion with a hearing tube, subjected the substances to the influence of intermittent light. Sounds of varying intensity were heard through the tube, according to the intensity of the light and the color. Ob- jects that were cfifiusc, as woolen, cotton, worsted, etc., gave out the loudest noises. One day, as an experiment, he blackened some red worsted with lampblack. The sounds it uttered were heightened to ‘such a pitch that they positively rasped on the ear. Some soot was then put into the tube and exposed to the rays of anarclamp. There was such a storm of sounds that Professor Bell described it as a ‘“frying” noise. Thisled him to experiment with the sounds produced by artificial light; but he found that such light is neither steady nor strong enough. Professor Bell's story of the way in_which he became con nced of the possibility of telephoning without wires is interesting. Some years ago he had fixed & thin, highly polished reflector in such a position that it directed the light from a distant schoolhouse roof through the window of his laboratory in Washington, and a friend who was assist- ing him stood on the schoolhouse roof. As Professor Bell describes it: “A bit_of selenium was placed in a_test tube, which in turn was connected with a hearing-tube, and all was in readiness. All of a sudden, s I was listening, out of the sunbeam came these words: ‘Mr. Bell! Mr. Bell! If you hear what I am saying come to the window and wave your arms.””’ Professor Bell considers the success of these experi- ments as even more wonderful and of greater significance than was the discovery of the telephone. AN “TRIC. NG MACHIN An electrical typesetting machine has been invented by Father Calendoli, a Do- minican friar, on which, it is said, a speed can be obtained four or five time as that poss chines now generally used. The keyboa differs radically from that of other in- ventors in that the keys corresponding to all the letters in a word of reasonable length may be simnltaneously depressed and the type will be set in proper order. The keyboard holds fifteen alphabets of lower case, at the leit hand, three of upper case at the right hand, and a line of untuation marks, et along the top. There are thirty keys; the vowels ‘‘a, e, i, 0,”” on each are triplicated, and the vel “u” is duplicated, while e nant’ has a key to itself. It possible, of course, to arrange the letters in any way, but on Father Calendoli’s machine they are placed in the order of iheir frequency in the French language. Thus the “i" is placed first as the first left- han on the upper row, second as the third in the center row, and third as the next to the last in the lowermost line. In composing a word the operator selects the letter most convenient to the position in which his fingers bappen to be at the mo- ment, Thus, in settting the word “rof’’ the "’ would fall to the third finger of the left hand, while for the wWord *‘soi” the i’ on the lower line would be struck by the index finger of the same hand. The arrangement is said to be so ntific and judicious that a little prac- ce gives the ability to select the proper letters almost instinctively, The back of the keyboard is cccupied by ver- tical tub resembling the pipes of an organ, and here the type is stored. At the bottom of each tube is a releasing bolt actuated by an electro magnet, which is in turn controlled by its respective keys. As already stated, the letters forming a word are struck simultaneously, and the sequence in which the type is arranged is determined by the order in which the re- spective keys are released. The pressure on the key puts the type in position to be dropped into place, and the releasing of the key drops the typein the chute leading to the galley. The body of the typeis shorter than usual and has a deep groove in the lower end. From the magazine tubes the types pass along an inclined chute to the galley, where they are auto- matically threaded on line rods. ——————— Duchess d’Uzes’ Bad Investment. M. Paul de Cassagnac has been saying that it was the Comte de Paris and not the Duchesse d’Uzes who furnished £120,000 to the Boulangist committee to enable it to overthrow the republic and_restore the monarchy. This, writes our Paris corre- spondent, is not true. The Duchess, after she struck up a friendship with General Boulanger, thought of using him as another Monk. She brought him into relations with her royalist friends, talked him round and then went abroad to confer with the Comte de Paris on her scheme. She did not at once succeed. When she did, the Comte de- Paris used very guarded lan- uage. He refused to advance ‘‘behind” 5enernl Boulanger, but was willing to act in a parallel direction—another examole of *his proneness to split hairs. He also said At 5 |{HEAVY GRADE NEW FLANNE at 10c. that he could not farnish ways and means for a Boulangist coup d’etat. In answer to this the Duchess offered to advance £120,000 on the Comte de Paris’ bond. He here eluded incurring a recoverable debt by signing a paper in which he bound him- self and his heirs to repay the money, hut he made the recovery of the throne a con- dition. The bond was witnessed by a number of prominent Orleanists, who went into the onlanfiisc plan of campaign and headed the ‘‘parallel action."” Accord- ing- to the Temps, they were the Duc de Chartres, the Marquis de Beauvoir, Comte de Mun, General Comte de Martimprey and the Marquis de Breteuil. The Duch- ess made a bad investment, for the situa- tion of the Orleanist party is now hope- less.—London Daily News.
