Ah opera house in which works of the kind commonly called opera comlque could be effectively performed never existed In this city before the Manhattan Opera house was built. Such a theater has frequently been discussed, and even now the walla of the New theater, which will be dedicated to such purposes, are slowly rising on Central park west Just now, howeve, the Manhattan Is the only house adapted to such operas. The works of Charpentler, Debussy, Ofrenbach, Breton and Massenet are unsulted to the vast spaces of the Metropolitan. In offer ing them to the New Tor publlo thla win ter at his theater Mr. Hammerstein sup plies evidence of hla originality and de parts from the conventional standard of New York opera. In other ways he has shown a deferenoe to New Tork'a affection for Its old favorites In engaging- .for hla company soma of the artists who made their reputations at tha Metropolitan Opera bouse. Foremost among these are Mines, Nordic and Schumann Heinle Mme. Melba will also To one of tha aopranos at tha Manhattan Opera house. Then Mme. Jeanne Jomelll, who was first heard at tha Metropolitan, Is another aeceder to tha foroes of the newer pera house. MM. Olllbert and Anoona are tha only men In tha Hammerstein organisation who wero introduced to local audiences at the Metropolitan. Just as the manager of the Manhattan opera house, is counting most on his opera comlque repertoire to Interest New Yorkers . 1 he Is putting forward as tha star of his company Mary Garden, who hns won triumphs in Europe and Is now to sing for tha first time In her own country. Miss ' Garden waa not born In the United States, fihe Is a native of Aberdeen. Scotland, but was only a child when her parents ' emigrated to thla country and settled In Chicago. Her father, Robert Garden, Is now active In the automobile business In this city. Her real name Is Garden, for she has not fol lowed the example of many American prima donnas and called herself after the town of her birth. Miss Garden first studied music ' In Paris wi,th Mary Duff, an American from Pingor, Me., who at one time taught in Paris. Then she went to Trabadello and Fugere to prepare herself fot the operatic 'stsge. but without any encouraging outlook for a debut. It was little encouragement that ah received from Andra Message and Albert Carre, the directors of the OpeVa Comlque Xn Paris, when the young American pre- sented herself to them. "Ton might understudy one of our prima donnas," M. Carre said to her one day. "aa we have nothing else just now to offer you. Suppose' you learn Louise. Mme. Rlolta is the only one singing tha part now and she baa no doublure. You might have a chance to sing that part some time." Miss Garden studied the title role In Charnentier's opera and went several times to wftnees the performance. She had Just made hersvlf perfect in the muslo and familiar to a certain degree with the action of the opera when she was suddenly called upon to make her first appearance In that role. She had gone to the Opera Comlque one night when a messenger came to her aeat with the word that M. Carre desired to peak with her immediately. She followed the messenger to the director's office. -vtw am uui u umi n lu BUIg. IjOUlHe, Mile. Garden," said the manager.

Her success even under such trying conditions was so great that Mme. Rlolta, who created the role, is now scarcely men tioned In connection with it. MIbs Garden has on the other hand become Inseparably associated with Char pentler's opera and It Is she who will naturally sing the paVt when the opera -Is performed at the Manhattan.

Dilbrel is dressed in the garb of a well-to-do Moroccan. ' No other European knows Morocco so well aa this Frenchman, and more will be heard of him before the affairs of Mo rocco are reduced to order. His story reads like a romance. When he waa IS, in 18S0. he left home and went to. Algeria, He was burning with desire of adventure and his purpose was to learn the Arablo language and to travel In the forbidden land of Morocco. In Algeria tie told hla, ambition to a wealthy Arab merchant, who gave him letters of recommendation to tha Kaids of Angad over the border of Morocco. Q. DELBHEL. There he studied Arablo until he could speak It well, embraced tha Mohammedan religion, familiarised himself with all It rites and later passed himself off aa a Turk who wished to study the observances of religion as practised in Morocco. Then the boy, attll In his teens, started for Fes, where the attention of the su tan, Muley-el-Hessan, was drawn to hlin. The sultan gave blm a house to live in and assigned an official to look out for his welfare. All this was done tiud-r the impression that the boy waa a devotee of Islam led away from home by religious enthusiasm. One day J he aultan. with a royal esoort started for the oasts of Tafllelt. far south In the Sahara. He took the boy with him so that he might see more of the Faithful and the country aa well, lie placed him under tha protection of hla son, Muley Abdul Axis, the present sultan. A strong friendship grew up between the young men and It waa greatly pro moted by the fact that Delbrel was a skill- is she decided to come to New Tork. - Miss ful sketch artist and during the Journey he gave the prince many lessons In draw ing. This waa done in the privacy of a tent, for the precepts of. Islam forbid the reproduction sf the likeness of any living thing. ' The prince gave. Delbrel full liberty. When they reached Tafllelt the young Frenchman made a map of it and many sketches of tha, settlements and their in habitant, -which'' were published In 1894 by -the Parts Geographical society. Hd carried out an ex,oellent Investigation of the oasis and this was the first of a series of geographical researches that made btm well known to geographies. An this time the sultan and his son never dreamed of the real character of the young man. Later he had opportunities to visit the Atlas mountains, to study the sources of Moroccan rivers and to make sketch maps cf new regions that ne European had ever seen. He' always traveled In the service of the sultan, who reposed high confidence In him, ' and Delbrel's position at thw court ve him great advantages over all other Euro peans who visited the country.- Sonio of his map sheets were reproduced 4n the great map of Flotte de Roquevalre, tlo best yet made of Morocco. At length tho young man tired of this Tempting Menus . (Continued From Page One.) off. Prfore his began to do this the fruit disagreed with him; afterward ho ate as muqh of It ad he pleased.

So on the last day of VIA he secretly left the capital in the night and by forced marches reached Mazagan. Hla flight was Inevitable because he had reason to know that his secret might be re vealed at any moment. The sultan spared no efforts to catch tha fugitive. Horsemen in pursuit scoured all the country around and one party reached Mazagan the day after Delbrel's arrival. They searched every house and watched the streets leading to the steamer. Delbrel passed them and they did not know it. He had changed his garb to European and was not recognized. When Muley Abdul Axis came to the throne he sent for his old friend, the young Frenchman who had posed as a Turk. It waa many months before Delbrel accepted the Invltutlon. He waa living on the edge of Algeria and flitted far over the border now and then in behalf of the work he was 'doing. He was studying the political organisa tion of 'Morocco, the Influence of the re ligious sects, the number snd importance of sautas, fto. He was mapping the rivers, the position of the pasture lands, enlmatlnj the number of saddle and pack animals, the frontier tribes, their weapons and tho number of men they could put In the flcld. baked potatoes snd several other vege tables. Sometimes we have baked potatoes even when we have plenty of salad. "I have a patient who is among the 75 per cent of the ailing, who, according to one set of medical statisticians, are suffering from diseases induced by -eating too much meat, and ho said to me when I advised him to drop out beef from his dally menu for a while anyway, 'I don't want to be come an anaemic, doctor." There you have the view of three-quarters of the commun ity on that subject and the other quarter see an early grave, lu sight should they cut eggs out of their bill of fare. "Many persons who talk a whole lot about the protein In beef forget that this protein is the result of a Vegetable diet on the part of the eow. Why not get your protein at first hand? ask them.

Then came the revolt of Muley M'hamed, of whoso pretensions to the Moroccan throne we now often hear. His party al leges that he should rightfully have been made sultan and that his younger brother waa placed on the throne by chicanery. He sent for Delbrel, who Is now his trusted adviser, and It was through the in fluence of the young man that the French writer, Jean du TollUs, was permitted a while ago to reach the camp of the pre tender and publish Muley M'hamed's side of the story.

Benjamin Franklin Blats or Blue Moun tain, Md.. experimented recently with his lightning accumulator, which he devised to collect electricity from the sky and store It up for future use. While the theory was all right something went wrong wit If the apparatus, and Mr. Blats is in the hos pital. The inventor and scientist had figured it out th.t during the summer months there was enough electricity going to waste that, if liurnttKed, would furnish enouga power to put steam out of bukiness. He establibhed a plant, equipped with storage batteries, and rigged up large kites which carried wires Into the clouds. These wires were connected with the batteries. Blats had everything ready for the test. All he needed was a storm. It came. Thers was a flash lu the heavens 'and a streak of Are shot down the trunk line. The electricity overcharged the storage bat teries and the surplus current bunted lu Mr. Klats.
