Interesting It is only dry text books iliut have made us turn away from them Read a good popular as tronomy and you will gain a dim re mote idea of infinity and eternity Sometimes you think you see a big star but you do not You merely see the light from It which has been 2f00 years in reaching us Almost everybody knows that our earth is i third rate planet in our solar system luplter would scarcely condescend to notice us But they do not know that our sun Itself sits be low the salt It would not be admit ted to a congregation of important heavenly bodies Canopus the lar gest star that we see is 10000 times the size of our sun and our solar cen ter Is hopelessly outclassed by Alde baran RIgel SIrius Betelguese and couitless others Mark Twain put this fact very well In one of his stories Captaiu Storm fields Visit to Heaven When the captain arrived and announced that he was from the earth the recording an gels could not remember ever having heard of such a place before One

the Professor That the proverbial absentminded professor is sometimes ably abetted by his wife is illustrated by a story told of Professor Bunsen One evening about the usual hour for retiring he took it into his head to run over to the club just as he and madam were returning from an evening call But said the lady 1 must have the front door locked before I retire This emergency staggered the pro fessor and as he looked bewildered at his wife the lady seized with an in spiration continued Ill go in and lock the door and throw you the key from the window This program was carried out and when he reached the club the profess or related the incident to a friend as evidence of his wifes unusual sagac ity The friend greeted the story with a roar of laughter And why my dear professor he said did you not simply admit your wife lock the door from the outside and come awayV True ejaculated the learned man of science we never thought of that The climax of the incident was reached an hour later when returning home the professor discovered that the lady in hpr excitement had thrown out the wrong key How They Got Out Uncle Ephraim had two hogs which he kept in a pen at the rear end of his little lot They were of the razor back variety and although they were fed bountifully with kitchen waste it seemed impossible to put any fat on their attenuated frames One morning when he went out to feed them they were not there They had disappear ed leaving no clew to the manner in which they had made their escape Whats the matter Dncle EphV inquired a neighbor noticing the deep dejection with which the old man was looking down into the empty pen My hawgs is done gone sah he answered Stolen No sah I dont see no signs dat anybody tuck em Did they climb out over the top No dey couldnt a done

New York For Housing Varied Co operative Charitable and Business Stage Enterprises Daniel Frohman president of the Actors Fund of America announced the other day a project involving phi lanthropy business and an Investment of at least 500000 which may go far toward revolutionizing the dramatic profession In the United States Man agers players and to a considerable extent the public will all be affected to a great degree by the consummation of the plan The plan involves the erection of a half million dollar structure near Cen tral Park South in New York city which will not only house what may be described as the United Charities of the three allied professions the drama music and the line arts but also a noncommercial theater for the testing of new plays a general book ing agency meeting rooms for actors and managers and lh business offices of an old age pension fund Of the various branches of the great work planned this last part of the general plan and the national booking agency will touch most directly upon the ac tors for at present they have to give anywhere from 10 per cent to 00 per cent of their salaries to the private agencies To Cost Half a Million In discussing the vast project Mr Frohman said that while two years ago the plan was hailed as wildly visionary by leading members of the profession they have now all come to see its practicability even necessity We hope to begin operations by next fall he continued We expect to clear at least 200000 at the coming Actors fund fair to be held in the Seventy first Regiment armory New York during the week of May 9 A good share of this must go to the fund itself which is sadly in need of repletion but the rest should be used for this vast philanthropic scheme from which investment an income can be procured it will take a very large structure to house so many interests and it will not cost less than 500000 We do not believe that there will be any diffi culty in raising this sum through the fair benefits and donations as sev eral of our wealthiest philanthropists have already promised their support Scope of Vast Enterprise One whole floor will be given to the United Charities of the three profes sions Youth is the chief asset of most of the vaudeville players sing ers chorus girls and especially the hundreds of art models As a rule when these people are deprived of their means of livelihood the outside charitable organizations give them a chilly reception The Actors Fund of America cannot cope with all our own poverty and the other organizations are even harder pushed With all these charities under one roof much more can be accomplished Supplementing this is an old age pension fund whereby the members of the profession themselves can pro vide against want in old age A great national theatrical ex change which will do away with in dividual booking offices and the big fees they exact for engagements of only a week or a month will occupy one more floor It will be a good thing for the manager and also for the actor who will no longer have to tramp from office to office It will also protect the actor from unscrupulous managers and dubious questionable places of amusement This is particularly nec essary for the art models The Art Workers club is doing much noble work to protect these beautiful young women and our national organization would extend that work even further To Aid Young Playwrights Another floor will be devoted to the development of the native drama Failures in the last two years have been very frequent To minimize the risk of failure we will have a small theater to seat about 300 persons where new plays may be tried out without going to the expense of col lecting a company preparing costly scenery and going out on the road for a trial There will be plenty of stage people in the building who will be glad to give some spare time to this tryout It will also make it easy for young authors to get a trial for their plays and a thorough hearing from the man agers There would also be lecture rooms on this floor where critics and pro fessors of dramatic literature would be invited to deliver addresses on top ics of interest to the profession and the public The club features of the plan com prise a big meeting room for the pro fession a restaurant with reasonable prices and a library Pay-as-you-enter Hotel Plans are under way for erecting on Broadway near Times square in New York what the promoters term a poi ular hotel where rooms with bath may be had for 150 a day and pa trons will pay as they register IfS CANNON ON HOBBIES Speakers Frank Views of Some Public Mens Pet Ideas Men who ride hobbles make excel lent servants but mighty poor mas ters This declaration was made re cently by Speaker Cannon at the hobby night entertainment of the National Press club in Washington Among the other hobbyists who spoke during the evening were Willis L Moore of the weather bureau Dr Harvey Wiley Gifford Pinchot Com mander Robert E Peary and Con gressman Champ Clark Speaker Cannon declared that his hobby was in watching other mens hobbies The men of one Idea he declared are all good men and he wished them success and long life al though he said that it makes one uncomfortable often in watching oth er mens hobbies Taking up the speakers who had preceded him he declared that Dr Wi ley was ail rip lit but that if he had been allowed to have his own way entirely he would have had everybody afraid to eat anything for fear of be ing poisoned that conservation was a good thing but that he was not afraid of all the coal being consumed or all the timber being used up and that much had been done in the way of conservation from a practical stand point for many years As for Com mander Peary he was glad a Cau casian had reached the north pole but while Commander Peary had the glory Dr Cook had the money Ex President Roosevelt he called the greatest press agent that ever lived He asserted that more good legislation had been passed during his seven years in the White nouse than during any other similar period In the history of the United States except during that of the civil war But suppose we had passed all the laws that he recommended In his mes sages he said The budget of the country would be many times what it is now The speaker declared that he found groat enjoyment in watching the men who had hobbies but that it would hardly do to let them be at the head of things MAIL BAGS FOR CLOTHING Where Some of United States Govern ments Property Goes United States mail bags are used in some foreign countries as material for clothing for saddlecloths and for packs on mules This curious fact was developed by an investigation into the circumstance of a steerage passen ger who arrived at New Orleans a few weeks ago having her belongings care fully tucked away in a mail bag of the United States The woman came from Guatemala Her belongings were seized by the customs officers and she was detained She explained that she acquired the mail bag in Guatemala where it was on sale not knowing that she was committing any wrong After an examination she was dis missed It is shown by the records of the postoffice department that a large num ber of mail bags in which foreign mail is sent disappear each year but it is impossible to keep a definite trace of them Diplomatic representatives of the government have reported from time to time that the material used in United States mail bags frequently is found in possession of natives of coun tries like those of Guatemala The loss sustained by the United States through the disappearance of mail bags however is comparatively small not exceeding probably 150 a year HIGHER PRICES FOR YEARS So Professor Jenks Predicts if Gold Production Continues Professor J W Jenks of Cornell uni versity at Ithaca N Y agrees with those economists who ascribe the in crease in the cost of living to the in creased production of gold To a large number of farmers at Ithaca for farm ers week at the State College of Agri culture he said the other night Money is no more fixed in value than the articles it purchases There is no sign of a letup in the increased production of gold and unless some change is made in our monetary sys tem we may expect prices to go up for years to come Just U S Us The United States is a braggart na tion Professor Goode
