Savage's present trip to Eu- rope is to have a conference with Frau Wagner regarding the great composer's ) “Parsifal,” the one remaining work by the master of tone drama that has never been presented on this side. Frau Wag- ner has ever adhered to her policy of re- taining this as the special feature of the annual festivals at Bayreuth, but it is not impossible that Mr. Savage may think of an inducement that will secure the per- mission to produce “Parsifal” by his Castle Square Opera Company next sea- son. Should the dauntleds impresario re- turn with contracts both for *‘Parsifal” and Puccini’s Madame Butterfly” it will do more to make his famous English sing- ing organization a true rival of the Mat- ropolitan Grand Opera Company than anything else he could possibly do. g e In the Theater Magazine for May ap- pears an important interview with - Vie- torien Sardou, the famous ¥rench drama- 1 tist, who is greatly incensed at the liber- ties Sir Henry Irving has taken with the manuscript of his new play, “Dante.” Sardou says: i “I had fully intended going to London to see the final rehearsals and the first | arisen | night, but circumstances have which make it impossible for me to do s0. You see, Sir Henry Irving has made | certain modifications in my play, of which I don't approve. In fact, I very strongly disapprove of them. In the scene in the lower regions 1 had, in accordance with the divine comedy, placed two FPopes in hell—Bonifacio VIII and Clement V. This was the culminating scene in the play. In it Dante denounced the vices and crimes of these historic characters, and the force of this tirade, coming as a kind of reaction after the pent-up bitter- ness of long exile, was the most effective situation of the drama. When I first reaa this scene to Sir Henry he was full of enthusiasm about it. But I am afraid Sir Henry (whose talents none appreciates more than 1) has not got a very strong will. He has allowed himself to be in- fluenced by those who have told him that a scene showing Popes in hell would cause a scandal, that it would hurt the susceptibilites of the Catholics. This is quite illogical and absurd. The Popes Bonifacio VIII and Clement V lived a long time ago. Their lives and crimes are ancient history. Besides in mon- archical England, you have members of the royal family, possibly the King him- self, witnessing, in ‘Richard III,’ another King of England, the present King's an- cestor, committing murders, and no one thinks of objecting. Yet, in Protestant England, it is contended that an outcry would be made if a part of Dante's ‘Divina Commedia,’ still further back in history, were placed on the stage. The whole contention is ridiculous. However, Sir Henry was afraid of something dread- ful happening, and so a Cardinal has been substituted for the Popes. But all the dramatic force and significance of the scene is lost and the play Is spoiled. - If Sir Henry had not been prepared to stage the fcene as I wrote it, why did he ac- eept it in the first instance? If I had known the scene was not to be acted as I had written it, I should perhaps not have done the play at all. At any rare, if T went to London for the rehearsals or the first night, I should seem to ac- cept the alterations made, which I do not. I protest.’ A5 SR, Very elaborate preparations have been quietly going on for several months for the coming production of “A Midsummer Night's Dream,” in which N. C. Good- win will appear “Bottom.” This pre- duction will receive its premier at the Knickerbogker Theater in New York next October. Phe Mendelssohn music will be made a big feature of this entertainment. The spectacular side of this piece will be brought out in a fascinating way never before attempted on.the.Amerlcan stage. . Henry W. Savage has now more chorus girls on his payrolls than any other American manager. This impresario’s methods are different from any other. In addition to the actively employed singers in his seven big companies he has three reserve schools locatéd in Chicago, Bos- ton and New York; from which he can quickly refill any vacancy in his several companies as well as nave a supply for new campanies in process of organiza- tion. The total number now in Mr. Say- age's employ is sald to reach 615. These are divided as follows: Castle Square Opera company 80, ‘“‘Sultan of Sulu” com- r;n 75, the two “King Dodo" companies , “Prince of Pilsen” company 7, “The Lieutenant Commander” company 6, “Peggy from Paris” company 8. The remaining 125 are in reserve schools, forty being in Chicago, forty in Boston and thirty=five in reserve in New York. In each city there is a chorus master em- ployed to do nothing else except train chorus girls. Every month the dancing master visits each city and gives the young .ppllenm: lni:ruc:lun in dancing. Heinrich Conreld the other night at a dinner at Delmonico’s given by the Amer- fcan Drnm;uau’ Soclety spoke fervently in favor of a national theater. He said that it could be obtained onl® by hard work, and with the aid of contributions | | | { { \ Kearny and Sutter Sts.

Height of the Barometer Suggested | by a French Savant as a Standard. \ The metric system was supposed at the end of the eighteenth century to be found- ed on a natural unit—on the metre, which was intended to be the ten-milllonth part of the quadrant of the terrestrial merid- ian. It was. soon discovered that the measures upon which it was based were not exact and that the metre is, con- 8raphic Office has lately printed in the National Geographic Magazine an account of the important bureau under his charge. There are now in its possession nearly 1200 engraved chart plates and about fifty photographie plates, constructed from original naval surveys from data reported by naval officers and from the cartographic information de- rived from the surveys of other countries. These charts represent only a third of the number necessary for a complete set of navigation charts of the world for the use of the naval and shipping iInterests of the United States. be done before a perfect set of charts can be constructed, and after such a set is once obtained constant revisions a: essary.

Gadot—has lately proposed to take the height of a barometric column as standard. The pressure of the at- mosphere will sustain a’column of water 10.33 metres high, or a column of quick- silver of 0.76 metres. s A long series of observations of th: barometer at a given place at knows temperatures and at the level of the sea |, would give a height that could be taken |- as a ‘“natural” standard. M. Gadot as- sumes as his unit one-tenth of the height of a barometric column of water which is nearly a metre, and upon this unit he has constructed a system of weights and measures not without ingenuity. But it has no such value as he attributes to it, for the reasons given above. The stand- ard must be assumed for reasons of con- venience alone and ‘when assumed its value must be determined in terms of ex- traterrestrial units (so that no changes on the earth may alter its length). The question between the yard and the metre is one of convenience alone. -If we, in_the United States, adopt the metric sysfem, we shall have the advantage of using the same units as those of Europe and of South America, and this is a real ben- | efit. On the other hand, we shall jeopar dize every land title in the country by expressing the boundaries of lots in a new unit, we shall have to throw away millions of dollars’ worth of tools and L e hich were not limited by box-office con- hderations.
