Declare New Law Will Close All Their Nick
leodeons.
The proprietors 01 the moving

purpose of going into Court to test
the validity of the new btate law,
which puts them out of business
unless they reconstruct their places
Orders have been issued to the pic
ture men by Deputy Factory In
soector William J. Leary to either
conform with his orders by having
three four-foot aisles built in their
houses or close up.
Deputy Leary stated that such
action would be taken. "But if
those places are open after next
Saturday," declared the deputy,
"the proprietors will be locked up."
"This new law." said one of the
proprietors "would put us out of bu
siness, and we are satisfied that the
act was passed for that specific
purpose. If we construct three
four-foot aisles it will take up all
our floor space and we will have
no room to seat our patrons."
There are seven moving picture
places iu Chester, with a total in
vestment of over $150,000.

Nature Busy Up North.
Juggling two imposing mountain
peaks off the map, transforming a
bay into a lake and springing into
existence two brand-new islands
are the astonishing feats of nature
discovered in Bering Sea by a Gov
ernment party and reported to the
Treasury Department this week.
In that stretch of water, with its
swiftly moving current, is the
Island of Bogoslof, whose constant
ly changing conformation has more
than once attracted widespread
attention. A report received by
Captain Commandant Ross, of the
Revenue Critter Service, says that
a party from the revenue cutter
Perry landed on Bogoslof June 10,
last, made a cursory examination
ot tne island and round that a
number of important changes had
taken place since last yar.
Perry Peak and McCulloch
Peak, which had heretofore loomed
high in the air, have disappeared
and the opening ot the bay or
lagoon, a pretty spot shown in
pictures on file in the Treasury
Department, has closed up, forming
a lake of warm salt waier of a tern
perature of about 7 1 degrees. The
lake is slightly below sea level and
in its centre two small islands have
sprung up. One of these islands is
throwing off a volume of steam.
