Two Out of Three Plays Always Fail.
In an article called “Acting—A Part
Time Job” in the American Magazine
Walter Prichard Eaton says:
“Suppose we say that a play is re
hearsed on an average of three weeks.
(Some few are, unfortunately for art,
rehearsed less, some a good bit more.)
Now, bear in mind the fact, which is
pretty well established by figures, that
at present two out of every three the-
atrical productions in America fail.
That means the ordinary actor or ac-
tress, out of three attempts to land a
salary paying job, works at least nine
weeks on half pey or less. When you
further deduct the usual summer va-
cation time of, say, six weeks and add
job, you reach the rather ‘astonishing
conclusion that the average actor may
be is only a part time worker. H
‘nmunificent’ salary doesn’t look so mu-
nificent when figured on this basis.”

iid A Lost Trade Secret.
Jt has frequently happened that val-
ible trade secrets haye been lost be-
"| yond vecovery. For instance, the best
watch oil, it appears, cannot be ob-.
tained today because the ‘secret proc-
ess of mixing it perished with the in-
ventor. It i8 said that the last<quart
of {i's famous fluid was so'd for $200.
and that was thirty-five years ago.
Since tlien every effort has been made
to analyze the product in an attempt
to renroduce the oil, but without suc-
cess. The man who made it and who
alone kuew iis composition died,, and,
it further appears, not even his name
or the place of his burial is known. He
never revealed to any one the details
of his process, and it was not until
after his death that the real value of
the oil was appreciated.—Los Angeles
Times.
The Eskimo Skin Canoe. 2
The kayak, or skin canoe, of the Bs-
kimo was in use on the coast of north-
ern Russia two or three centuries ago,
according to Dr. MacRitchie, F. 8B. A.
(Scot). Evidence of this is obtained
from statements made by Burrough in
1556 and from the chronicles of a Dan-
ish expedition to Vaigatz in 1653. It
was further shown that three kayaks
were captured off the northern shores
of Scotland about the end of the sev-
enteenth century. One of these is still
preserved in the museum of Marischal
college, Aberdeen. An important fact
is the oceasional presence of a kayay-
using race of Finns or Finnmen in
the Orkney islands during the last
twenty years of the seventeenth cen-
tury, as testified to by three writers
of that period.—Toronto Mail and Em-
pire.
To-kyo.
It is remarkable how many persons,
some of whom may lay claim to edu-
cation and familiarity with Japan, per-
sist in misspelling the name of Japan's
capital. ©f course if government offi-
cials and western diplomats in Japan
insist on spellilng it To-Li-o, western
people, ignorant of the Japanese lan-
guage, cannot be blamed for pronounc-
ing it in three syllables (To-kee-yo).
much to the amused disgust of the Jap-
anese. The Japanese ideographs are
only two and are best represented by
the two romaji syllables To-kyo, pro-
nounced with a very slight emphasis !
on the first syllable.—Japan Magazine.
Her Dear Husband.
“Why,” exclaimed a newly married
woman to a bunch of friends, “for
three months after our marriage my
dear husband made me bake hot bis-
cuits for him every meal.”
“And yet your husband is a strong,
healthy looking felllow,” answered her
friend in astonishment. “Doctors say
that such a diet is terrible, and”’—
“Oh, yes, this husband is healthy! 1
was referring to my first husband.”’—
