With so much Interest focused on
happenings in Russia, it wouid be
a. range indeed if we did not receive a
taste of Russian drama. Tue leading
cities of the country are now centering
their attention upon the Russian play
"Monna .anna” the t«.ie role of whlcn
is being essayed by Madame Bertha
Kalich, a Polish actress who won fame
in the Yiddish theatres on the Bowery
in New York City.
Madame Kalich may not be considered
a beautiful woman but through the nat
uralness of her acting she touches every
spark of humanity that glows in the
human breast. Six years ago she did
not know a word of English, yet her
mastery at the present time of one of
the most difficult of all speaking
tongues, Is remarkable. Not only does
she speak English wqll but she Is fam
iliar with five other languages—Ger
man, Polish, Russian, French and Yid
dish. For years she has been acting
at the Russian and Hebrew theatre?
of New York City. Her first appearance
in an English speaking play was a
year or so ago when she played the
name part in "Fedora.” Her earlier
performances were disappointing but
at the end of a fortnight she made a
profound Impression upon her audience.

log cabins of scores of sturdy settlers
in the wilds of the northern country,
who are mainly dependent upon theii
traps during the cold moatns for a
livelihood.
The settlers and professionals in the
country directly tributary to the Great
Lakes look to mink, marten and ottei
to make their trapping operations
profitable, and the pelts of these little
animals at present command a higher
price than at any time during the past
thirty years, while there has been a
decided slump in the prices paid for
furs from the black, blue and silver
fox which bring only >50 each now,
where a year or two ago they were as
high as $300 apiece.
Last wi: ter $4.50 was considered a
good price for a mink pelt, and it
wasn’t more than a season or two back
that $.2.50 was the highest paid for a
single pelt of this kind. Now a choice
raw mink fur will bring $11, and a mar
ten pelt from $18 to $20, where $6 or $7
was paid last winter. An otter skin is
worth $22 just as it comes from the
trapper’s hands, which is away above
any price paid for more than thirty
years. Quite a few fisher are caught
through northern Minnesota and these
are worth from $8 to $10. Beaver are
very scarce in this state. They are
worth from $7 to $9 each.

MADAME BERTHA KALICH
So far this Is the story of Monna Vanna
tor the American people are not ac
customed to the mannerisms and act
ing of the Russian plays.
Madame Bertha Kalich is tall and
of the brunette type usual to the He
brew, with eyes that while most expres
sive, can hardly be said to be winning.
She canDot be classed as beautiful,
but her art has a mimicry which is
sure to bring fame to her. Critics lay
great faith in her possibilities as an
actress. They believe that after thor
ough schooling on the American stage,
the requirements of which are far dif
ferent from those of the Russian, she
will become famous, for she comes of
a race which has achieved wonders.
And when we encounter marked talent
in the Hebrew race no one living tan
predict how many rungs of the ladder of
fame may be traversed successfully. The
greatest actors, not only of the present
age but of the past, have been and
are Jews. Of the women we have from
Rachel to Bernhardt, and the men
range from Dawison to Edwin Booth,
while passing reflections may be given
to the ability of David Garrick, Mrs.
Siddons and a host of others in whose
veins were some drops of Oriental
blood.
Bertha Kalfch’s appearance in Chi
cago was greeted with an outburst of
eDthnstasm which continued through
out the many weeks of her perform
ance there. Such a well-known critic as
W. H. Hubbard of the Chicago Tribune
in reviewing "Monna Vanna” and Its
leading actress, said, ‘‘Madame Kalich

many of the Indians trap during the
winter, but the trouble with the major
ity of them is that they do not know
the value of their catch and are likely
to sell a $22 otter pelt for $4 or $5, and
a $11 mink pelt for a dollar, or perhaps
a pint of whiskey. The white man is
well aware of this fact, and some a-

Governmental School.—Daily Re

Uncle Sam has one governmental
school which, while little known, is
well worthy to rank with West Point,
and Annapolis in the thoroughness oi
the mental and physical training
which it gives itB graduates. Tins un
heralded educational institution is lo
cated at Arundel Cove on Chesapeake
Bay, about six miles from the city ot
Baltimore, and its purpose is to pre
pare for their profession the caoets or
future commissioned officers of the
United States Revenue Cutter Service.
It is only within a few years that the
general public has been awakening
to a leauzauon of the opportunities
and acvantages open to an officer in
Uncle Sam’s “police force of the sea,”
in consequence of which there has
been of late - marked increase in the
applications for admission to the cadet
school. Any young man not less than
18 nor more than 25 years of age and
not less than 5 feet 3 Inches in height
is, if unmarried, eligible to appoint
ment as a cadet, but no person- should
delude themselves with the idea that
it is easy to get into the cadet corps,
for the entrance examinations are
quite as severe as those at either West
Point or Annapolis.
However, all the examinations for
the selection of cadets are strictly com
petitive. Political and social influ
ences are entirely eliminated and this
is unquestionably the most democratic
school under the government. The
cadet spends three years at the train
ing school, each summer being devoted
to a practice cruise on a bark-rigged
vessel during which the young men get
a taste of all kinds of sea duties and
Incidentally store up good health for
the academic year, which extends from
October jo May.
The pay of a cadet is $500 a year
and a ration of 30 cents a day, out of
which allowance he is r~”'lred to pur
chase uniforms and textbooks and
meet his mess expenses. The sum of
$10 per month is also withheld from
the pay of each cadet in order that
upon graduation he can purchase the
uniform and outfit of a commissioned
officer. When the cadet graduates he
receives a commission as a third lieu
tenant In the Revenue Cutter Service
at a salary of $1,400 per year. Three
promotions will bring him to the rank
of captain with $2,500 salary per year
and an increase of ten per cent, for
each five years' service.
BALD»IN’S NEW AIRSHIP.
Believed by Experts to Surpass any
Fiying Macnme Yet Lunstructeu.
Captain Thomas Baldwin believes
he has found a way to navigate the air
with fair success. Captain Baldwin,
be it known, is Americas foremost
aeronaut, having been engaged In the
profession of sailing to the clonds
longer and more continuously than
any other citizen of the republic. He
began ballooning in the ordinary way
nearly a quarter of a century ago.
Then he invented the modern type or
parachute and in his inventing and e.
perimenting, went from one thing to
another until he hit upon the dirigible
balloon type of airship.
in tne past umi decade Captain
Baldwin, who makes his home in Los
Angeles, California, has built five dif
ferent sky craft, all on this general
pattern, but each dnferent in many re
spects from its predecessor. He hopes
to improve on even the new airship
which has recently been completed,
but the fact remains that this latest
flying machine -is so far superior to
everything that has gone before it that
it is well worthy of notice.
In the new airshin the gas bag or
balloon which lifts it hns a capacity
of 16,000 cubic feet of gas or nearly
twice as mifbh as ♦’••» bag of the one
which Captain Baldwin exhibited at
the St. Louis Exposition. It is made
of Japan silk, oiled inside and out.
From this bag there is suspended by
means of a net of cotton seine twine a
framework which contains the pro
pelling and steering apparatus of the
airship and which is known as the
"keel.” In Captain Baldwin’s earlier
inventions this was built of steel tub
ing and each frame cost $700, but in
the new airshin the keel is of Oregon
spruce, the lightest and strongest
wood in existence.
A Powerful Little Engine.
The engine which furnishes power
for driving the baloon is located about
midway on the Keel. It consists of a
gasoline motor verv similar to those in
use on motor-cycles.
The motor
weighs about 75 pounds, is capable of
3,000 revolutions per minute, and
able to develop 7% horsepower, but it
is seldom if ever that so much energy
is required even when the aerial flyer
is facing a heavy wind.
Attached to the keel at the forward
end of the airship is the propeller,
which is eleven feet in diameter and
has two 18 inch blades of painted can
vas. These blades whirl around at the
rate of two hundred times per minute,
but it will be observed that this pro
peller is at the forward end of the ship
instead of at the stern, where it might
naturally be looked for, and this gives
the keynote to one of Captain Bald
win’s most important Inventions,
namely, the scheme of having the rap
idly revolving propeller pull the ship
through the air instead of pushing it
as a ship is pushed through the wrter.
Nearly fifty feet from the propeller,
at the other end of the keel is the rud
der by which the steering is accom
plished. This rudder Is about six by
eight feet in size and consists of
canvas stretched upon a wooden
frame. Attached to the framework of
the keel is also a tank which is ca
pable of holding two gallons of gaso
line. The navigator of the new Bald
win airstrip has nothing in the way of
a platform on which to stand, but
must balance himself on the skeleton
framework of the keel, bracing himself
by means of the net which, suspends
the keel from the gas bag.
Baldwin's new airship cost him more
than $1,800 and by reason of the gas
required to inflate It as well as other
expenses, each ascension costs in the
neighborhood of $250. The hydrogen
gas which is emploved to lift the bn’-
loon and to maintain it in a position
where the propeller can do Its work is
manufactured by combining iron
filings or Bbrlngs, sulphuric a< Id and
water on the basis of one part acid
and one part iron to four parts water.

"What are we going to do?” asked
Dr. Hale in his deep voice. "We must
use both common sense and sentiment
in dealing with the forest question.

or multi-millionaires, can not accom

forestry question should be put upon
a business basis. In order to make a
large, immediate profit forests are de
stroyed; they should be cut with some
reference to the future; in other words
they should be cropped. All the gov
ernments of Europe rely largely upon
their forest lands for revenue. A sim
ilar condition should and could be
brought about in this country."
Secretary Wilson baa more than
once manifested a deep interest in the
question ot American Forestry. Mr.
Wilson has, in tact, for some years been
elected and re-elected President of the
American Forestry Association, a pow

That the movement In the United
