To make them convineing needed all the skill which the lady and gentleman named possess—and they possess not a little. Mr. Guard, in particular, has a power—_rare among our actors, so' many of whom are so well in- tentloned and ‘so il trained—of making emphatic Polnts without greatly increas- ing the volume of his tones. This is good art and it comes not without painstaking and intelligence; your robustious, periwig- pated fellows that roar you as loud as any bull in Bashan are generally as empty- headed as they are noisy. Taken as a whole, the action of the play | Is lively and interesting. Most of the im. probabilities are supposed to take place between the acts: if you can torgt these and fasten your mind only on the inci- dents which the author actually shows ¥ou, you can get a fair and clean even- Ing's entertainment out of ‘“Human Hearts," L. DU PONT SYLE. Central. The melodrama “Woman and Wine" Was presented at the Central Theater last night to & well filled house. It is full of exciting scenes, including a duel to the death with knives between two women. Marcelle Rigadout, a French adventuress, believing that Richard Seymour, son of Hugh Seymour, a blind artist, is heir to a large fortune, induces him to forsake his father and fly with her to Paris, whers she soon tires of him. He stakes his for- tune on his horse, but the woman bribes the jockey and the horse loses the race. The adventuress gets another lover and his mistress kills her in a duel with knlves. Seymour, who happens to fall asleep under the influence of drugs at the scene of the duel, is arrested and tried for murder. He is convicted, but as the Judge is about to pass sentence the mur- deress confesses in open court and the curtain falls. Howard Hall as Richard Seymour played with his usual force and success, and Miss Effie Darling played the adventuress so well that she was hissed by the “‘gods.”” Miron Lefingwell as Hugh Seymour, the blind artist, was excellent, and Charles Arthur and Oza Waldrop in the light comedy parts bright- ened up the plece. well sustained by Frank Opperman, Clar- ence T. Arper, Stanley Ross, Ernest How- ell, Lilllan Bartlett, Ada Lewis, Gertrude Clare and Margaret Marshall. Alcazar. “The Adventures of Nell Gwynne" at the Alcazar Theater is likely to crowd that popular playhouse for some weeks to come, for the second week of the attrac- tion opened last night before a crowded audience. Miss Florence Roberts has made a number of changes in the play | and has materially increased its interest. | The love theme h: and “Nell of Old one of her trait as been strengthened Drury” is portrayed in s which history records— that of a passionate and loving woman. It is not to be wondered at that plays cou- cerning Nell Gwynne should be fascinat- ing and of heart interest. The Alcazar has a play free from crudity; historical in its plot, merry in its natural comedy and above all possessing that quality which mingles tears and laughter and makes the auditor realize that the stage truly “holds the mirror up to nature.” It is well worih a trip to the Alcazar to_witness the ar- tistic work of Florence Roberts and her talented associates. On Thursday after- noon a “‘professi matinee” will be given of “Nell Orpheum. Shows may come and shows may go; there may be lighthouses on the sea and light houses that pain actors to see, but the Orpheum, like a really happy man, is full forever and always. The management seems to be able to hit the public under the belt all the time. There was a big house last night and a fine bill. Bettina Gerard, the celebrated opera star, made her first appearance In vaudeville; the Willy Collinis in acrobatie dancing, the Hawthornes in sr)nf!, the Crosby and Forman Company in' a sketch, the five Olracs, the bosses of burlesque acrobats: Davies, the Irishman; Joe Santley, the boy soprano, and Shean ‘and Warren form a combination hard to equal. Tivoli. At the Tivoll “Cinderella” is in its fourth week and its popularity does not seem to wane in the le The gorgeous ballet and general brilliancy of the production make it a feast for the eyes and the clever | people in_the cast furnish alt sorts of fun. Ferris Hartman has a long string of new jokes that produce roars of laughter. Alhambra. “Jed Prouty” entertained a full house at the Alhambra last evening. From the beginning to the end the quaint New Eng- land drama went smoothly and the innate pathos and horse-playefun were equally successful in moving the audience. Fischer’s Concert House. With one exception every act on the programme at Fischer's Concert-house was new last night. Oro, Bernard and Oro were amusing in *“Scenes in China- town”: Nell Montgomery proved to be a phenomenal child contralto, and the Rus- sell brothers gave a clever aerial exhibi- tion. Antonio and Conchita Martinez are graceful Spanish dancers. Mlle. Atlantis ives a pretty dance. Sid Baxter's aer':1 juggling act i= marvelous, while Marie D. Wood, the “California Nightingale,” is as popular as ever: The Henschel Recitals. The opening yesterday of the sale of season tickets for the Henschel recitals, to take place next month at Metropolitan Temple, indicates a serles of crowdoed houses for these talented exponents of song. The singers are making a farewell tour of America and will not return here for some years. Olympia. Ouhama, the juggler, is the chief at. traction at the Olympla this week. There are other good numbers, however, and on the whole, the new bill {8 far above the average. Mabel Hudson made quite a hit last nfeht and the Dulcie Sisters were well recefved. Carpets Are Selling Lively. Since the opening of the challenge sale at the Pattosien Company there havebeen mere carpets sold than people could real- ize, yet it is a fact the furniture also is going lively. Bedroom suits, solid oak suits, at $15. Parlor suits, $I17. Wilton velvet, $1.05. Real Brussels carpet, 45c. These low prices make people talk. Cor- ner Sixteenth and Mission.

FRIEDMAN New York Relatives Seek to Deprive Charities ‘of Bequests Left by the Californian. : WILL OF i -l EW YORK, Jan. 7.—If the will of Julius Friedman, the wealthy | Californian who died about three | months ago, can be broken rela- tives In this city will share in che fortune, which is estimated at from $600,- 000 to $1,000,000. His heirs in this city, so far as known, are his cousins, Louis, Leo- pold and Isaac Aronberg. Friedman left his entire estate to char- itable institutions in this country and in Russia, the country of his birth. By the California law, according to Durack and Brand, counsel for tibe contestants, no person who has relatives can leave more than one-third of the estate to charities. Colonel Henry I. Kowalsky of San Fran. cisco, who is one of the administrators of Friedman’s estate, passed through New York last week on hiz way to Russia to investigate the claims of the helrs there and to examine the charitable Institutions in Mitlan, Kurdland, Ruszia, which ars beneficlaries under the law. | .

She met Warren Weisman in her rounds, and the couple went to the Eule; Saloon, on the corner of Pleasant and | Santa Clara streets. | Her assaflants had evidently been fol- lowing her, for shortly after she and Warren entered a back room, the three forced .their way in.

The specific gravity of any substance is the ratio of the weight of any volume of that substance to the weight of an equal r. (or simply the density) of a substance we mean the mass of unit volume of it; for exampie, the number of pounds in a cubic foot of It. By relative density we mean the ratio of its density to that of some standard sub- stance, or its heaviness as compared with the standard gubstance, bulk for bulk. ‘When water i3 taken as the standard substance, relative density is usually called specific [rav}ty; so that the spe- cific gravity of a substance means the weight of any volume of it divided by the welght of an equal volume of water. Ab- solute density is, of course, equal to rela- tive density muitiplled by the density of the standard substance. The most convenient units for dealing with densities are the cubic foot and the ounce, because a cubic foot of water may be taken as weighing 1000 ounces, this be- ing only about 1} ounces in excess of the truth. Hence whgn we express densities in ounces per cubic foot, the density of water may be called 1000 and the density of any other substance will be 1000 times its specific gravity. If we express densi- tles in pounds rer cublc foot the multiplier will be 6215 The density of a substance can be di- rectly determined by weighing a meas- ured volume of it. This method can be easily applied to solids of rectangular form, since their voiume can be computed by multiplying together the length, breadth and thickness. It can also be ap- plied to liquids by employing a vessel of known content. The vessel usually em- ployed for this purpose is a bottle of thin glass, fitted with a perforated stopper, so that it can be filled and stoppered without leaving a space for air. The difference between its weights when full and empty is the weight of the liquid which fills it, and the quotient of this by the volume occupied (which can be found by weigh- ing the bottle. when filled with water) is the density of the liquid. The volume and density of a solid body of irregular shape, or consisting of a quantity of small pleces, can be deter- mined by putting it into such a bottle and weighing the water which It_dis- places. The most convenient way of do- ing this is to observe (1) the weight of the solid; (2) the weight of the bottie full of water; (3) the weight of the bottle when it contains the solid, together with as much water as will fill third of these results be abstra the sum of the first two, the remainder will be the weight of the water displaced; which, when expressed in grams, is the same as the volume of the body ex- pressed in centimeters. The weight of the bedy, divided by that of the water displaced, is the density of the body. From the fact that a cubie foot of water weighs 1000 ounces (62%z pounds) we can find the weight of any quantity of water if we know its volume. Instead of meusurmf the actual densi- ties of substances it is more convenient to compare the weights of equal volumes of different substances, and for this pur- pose ore particular substance is always chosen as the standard with which all others are compared. The standard substance adopted (except in comparing certaln is water at a temperature of 39 Fahrenheit (its point of maximum universally eight of a cubic foot of sea ter are 1024 and 1000 ounces, respective and their ratio is equal to 1024. This ratio is called the specific gra: ity of sea water. Again, the specific grav- ity of mercury is about that a cubic foot of merc times as much as a tubi foot of water. Problems for Practice. 1.
