Play 61 Oedipus Rex
This Old Love Letter
Is Tremendous Tragedy
W as “ the Real Thing’
The play begins. The crowd en­
ters, the people driven by pestilence
toward their king and toward the
gods, writes Stark Young In the North
American Review. The prophet comes;
a curse is on the land. Oedipus sets
out upon the search that Is to be his
fate. The woman who Is his mother
and also his wife throws herself be­
tween Oedipus and this knowledge that
will destroy them all. And, finally, In
shame and frenzy Jocasta hangs her­
self, and Oedipus with the clasp of
her mantle digs out his eyes. He en­
ters then In that most terrible shudder
in all drama; he feels the pain, his
voice floats far from him, shame in
this world and in the next he feels,
everything; even his children are
taken from him, and he goes out to
wander alone over the world. And
meanwhile the chorus has sung and
moved, and carried into a wider re­
gion the events of the play and the
thoughts of the characters. The music
of the instruments has widened yet
further the whole, giving it a yet more
general and essential abstraction and
seeming to spread upon It an aspect
of the eternal. The changing lines of
the chorus and the actors have ren­
dered less obscure the poet’s desire,
and all his thought; the Salamis or
inland wind, blowing another rhythm
into those bright garments, has car­
ried into universal space that flow of
movement under the wide light.

arms are frequently puzzled by find­
ing certain characters or letters, or
both, stamped on and Into the barrel
of a gun or pistol. In their Ignorance
they take them to be the initials or
mark of the maker, and from these
seek to gain light as to his name.
It Is true that Spanish and German
arms usually have. Instead of the
maker’s name, a seal, frequently of
gold, depicting characters—rdnimals
and letters—from which, If possessed
of a list of such seals, one might de­
termine the manufacture of the wea­
pon, and hence its approximate date,
English and French gunmakers, how­
ever, if marking the arm at all, did
so by placing their name and that of
their town on the lock-plate or barrel,
or on both.
The marks known as "proof marks”
were stamped on, usually by a govern­
ment official, after he had tried out
and "proven” the arm to be all right
As a rule the method of “ proving” was
to load the piece with several times
Its normal amount of power and shot,
and then discharge the same. If It sur­
vived the test it was considered
"proven” satisfactorily. Thus, as dif­
ferent marks were not adopted until
a certain date, we may ordinarily be
assured that an arm bearing them was
not manufactured before that date.—

Ptolemy’s mirror was a huge mirror,
said to have been placed In the tower
of the Pharaohs of Alexandria by Pto­
lemy Euergetes.
Aboolfeda, the famous Arabian wri­
ter, says that this mirror was made of
Chinese iron, and that shortly after
the Saracen conquest of Egypt It was
destroyed by the Christians to prevent
its falling into the hands of their op­
pressors. In Buffon’s opinion, says the
Detroit News, Ptolemy’s mirror was
made of polished steel.
According to a fabulous account, It
reflected the greater part of lower
Egypt and a portion of the Mediter­
ranean sea and enabled the observer
to detect either , the approach of a hos­
tile fleet or the existence of a disturb­
ance on land.

A man called at our office the other
day and said:
“ I wanta ask about my income tax.
If you know.”
"A h !” we sighed, sympathetically.
“I wanta know,” he said, “ about
this. Last year I had t’ borrow money
t’ pay th’ tax on my Income; this year
I had t’ borrow money t’ pay that back
and pay this year’s taxes, and next
year I got to sell my house t’ pay ’em
all and my taxes. Now, how much
does the government owe me for what
I ain’t got?”
We murmured appreciatively and
motioned for the bouncer. These
troubled ones really bother us a lot!

In Stanford, Ky., there Is a curious
situation of a school teacher having
among his pupils, all children, his own
wife, a girl just sixteen. He was dis­
covered recently because he endeav­
ored to make his wife-pupil write on
the blackboard: “ I have never kissed
any other man but my husband.” The
teacher is Melvin Wright and he gained
notoriety also for whipping his wife
when she broke a school rule.
Most metals will not adhere perma­
nently to glass after they have been
sealed to it while in a semi-molten con­
dition, and If they are In the form of
rods or blocks. Metal and glass ex­
pand when heated and contract when
cooled at different rates, so that after
sealing ahd cooling, inevitable separa­
tion occurs. The one notable excep­
tion has been platinum, which expands
at very nearly the same rate as glass
and has, therefore, been highly prized
in the making of vacuum bulbs where
electric current must be led into the
bulb and the vacuum kept perfect and
free from leaks. But platinum is much
more costly than gold and so the elec­
trical engineers have found a way by
which copper may be sealed so closely
to glass that a vacuum may be main­
tained. If the metal is flattened out
into a very thin sheet with a knife-
like edge the thing can be done. This
Is because the stresses which the Joint
may have to endure are In proportion
to the thickness of either the copper
or the glass. A thin sharp sheet of
glass may similarly be sealed Into a
block of copper. So again has neces­
sity become the mother of Invention.

Census Statistics? Little Joke
, Miss Mary V. Dempsey, junior statis­
tician of the Ünlted States census of
1920, who has recently completed her
task, believes that census reports as
made by enumerators over the land are
more comical In some essentials than
the latest joke book. Miss Dempsey
had 250 clerks under her classifying
the reports and found her diversion In
documents that classified "pigs’ feet
singers” under “ musicians” ; and listed
among other occupations those of “ as­
sembler of gravity” ; “philosopher at
home” ; “instructor In a school for
brides” (Niagara Falls) ; “ Instructor
in a vestibule school” and “laborer In
a hair mine.”

When Raggedy Ann, the pet burro
of Battery F of the Twelfth field ar­
tillery, recently died at Fort Houston,
Tex., the men gave their mascot a
burial with full military honors. The
pet burro died In a battle against the
pack mules of the battery. The body
of Raggedy Ann was lowered into a
grave on Pershing field as field guns
fired a salute and the bugler played
taps. At the grave a headpiece was
erected whereon were engraved testi­
monials of the love and affection
which the members of Battery F felt
for their pet. A wreath of alfalfa was
placed beneath It.

talent and popularity—we will call
him Jiffers—has a happy appreciation
of his own work, as his friends all
know.
So highly does he estimate Jiffers’
compositions that some of his friends
were much startled the other day
when he said gravely: “ Did you ever
notice that the names of all great com­
posers begin with M?”
“Yes, M,” said the composer. “ Mo­

The man’s mother had given tin­
man's wife a love letter . which sin-
found hidden away in a mass of old
papers. It had been written to the
man when he was a boy and the wrltei
was his sweetheart, fifteen years old.
The man’s mother laughed when she
handed it to the man’s wife, and the
man's wife laughed when she handed
It to the man.
But the man did. not luugh.
“Aha,” said the wife In her merry
•way, “ see how the past rises up
against you.”
The man took the letter and slowly
unfolded it and softly read It aloud:
“ Dearest, boy,” he read, “ I’m afraid
you are mad at me because I walked
with Johnnie Nicholson yesterday to
school, but It wasn’t my fault at all.
You know I love you, dearest boy, a
thousand million times more than I
could love Johnnie, and when you look
cross at me it breaks my heart. Ain't
you going to take me to the school
picnic Saturday—’cause If you don't I
can’t go. I cried when I wrote this—
that’s why IBs spotted. Don’t make
me cry any more, dearest boy.’’
The man looked at the letter for
some time. His gaze softened and he
sighed.
“That was the real thing,” he mur­
mured, and he carefully folded the let
ter and turned away.
And then the man’s wife was sorry
she had given the letter to the man.—
