When Actors Play te Actors
When he Henry Irving- engaged me
to play Ophelia In 1878 ho asked me to
go down to Birmingham to see the
play and that night I saw what I shall
always consider the perfection of act
ing It had been wonderful In 1S7 1 in
1878 it was far more wonderful wrote
Ellen Terry in McClures It has been
said that when he had the advantage
of my Ophelia his Hamlet improved
I dont think so lie was always quite
Independent of the people with whom
he played The Birmingham night he
knew I was there lie played I say it
without vanity for me We players
are not above that weakness if it be a
weakness If ever anything Inspires
us to do our best it is the presence in
the audience of some fellow artist who
must in the nature of things know
more completely than any one what we
Intend -what we do what we feel The
response from such a member of the
audience flies across the footlights to
us like a flame I felt it once when I
played Olivia before Eleanora Duse I
felt that she felt it once when she play

The Topsyturvydom of Religion
At the opening of King Edward VIIs
Grst parliament he had to repeat after
the lord chancellor an oath which con
demned in almost brutal words all
things papistical Yet held aloft by a
Protestant peer for all Protestants to
reverence was a veritable emblem of
papal supremacy a quaint little bon
net of crimson velvet turned up with
ermine This is tho cap of mainte
nance and so sacred is it that no
hands but royalty may linger it Thus
the premier marquis whose hereditary
right it is to carry it balanced it some
what after the fashion of a conjurer
upon a white staff This cap was
granted to Henry VIII by Pope Leo
X In the middle ages it was held as
symbolic of the overlord only being
granted to vassals and feudatories
whom the lord wished to honor so that
it implies as nothing else could the su
premacy of the pope over the kings of
England London Standard
What Makes the Heart Eeat
Professor Jacques Loeb the celebrat
ed biologist in his book Dynamics
of Living Matter has shown that a
strip cut from the ventricle of the
heart put in a solution of chloride of
sodium will continue to beat for a
number of days until putrefaction sets
in He sa3s this can be done with an
ordinary muscle after it has been ex
tirpated from the body This would
tend to prove that the heart is a chem
ical machine and that it is all due to
chemical action The muscular con
traction is probably due to the substi
tution of sodium for calcium salts in
the cells of the muscles
The difficulty of this theory is that it
does not explain the control of the
muscles It is plain that the problem
of control is not solved by the chem
ical theory
A Fair Chance
Dressed in the latest and most ap
proved motor cycling costume with
goggles all complete the motor cyclist
gayly toot tooted his way by Regents
park toward the zoo Suddenly he
slackened dismounted and said to a
small grubby urchin
I say my boy am I right for the
zoo
The boy gasped at so strange a sight
and thought it must be some new i
mal for the gardens
You may be all right if they have a
spare cage he said when he could find i
his tongue but youd ha stood a far
better chance if youd d a tail Lon
