Wow! What's tnat? and here the professor paused to hurl a brick at a yellow cat which had run between his legs to escape a yeilow dog.

After tho professor had recovered his equanimity I asked him if he believed tha: "vibratory law is the key to our loves and our hates?" To which he made reply In those impressive words: "I agree with Martlneau that 'Virtue is harmony won; the merit is the winning of It. The former is a satisfied peace; the latter the conflict whence It This conflict is caused by vibratory waves. This may be too highfor you, and so I'll illustrate what I mean: You sLt down late at night to eat a welsh rabbit and drink a bottle of porter. At first there is harmony between you and the welsh rabbit, but after you get home and tumbled into bed. what you've eaten sets some vibratory wares in motion which finally reach the brain.

Then tho conflict between virtue and harmony begins. Why, my dear sir, I've known a good man, a man usually very circumspect in his speech go to bed like an angel with a welsh rabbit inside of him and then sit up an hour or so later and fall to using the most shocking language concerning welsh rabbits in general and awful profanity regarding one welsh rabbit in particular. Vibratory waves cause the whole trouble; welsh rabbits are full of 'em." "Do you know of any way in which these waves can be stilled?" The professor pondered for a short time over the query, then he answered: "There are some waves that can be stilled with beer and other anaesthetics. Then again beer will set some cf these vibratory waves in motion. At one period of my studies in this matter I devoted la good deal of time in trying to remove the cause of vibratory waves always set in motion by ttie eating of green apples.

If I could have succeeded there would have been a fortune to it for me. But just as I thought I nad the thing I was after almost in reach a relative of mine who otwns a farm at Canarsie says: 'William, quit your nonsense. If you invent anything that will take the ache out of a green apple my orchard will be stripped by tbo public school children before the apples are blgger'n black walnuts." And I quit." and elegance, and who seldom visit the thea ter now except for Mr. Drew or Daly's Com is passionate love pany, with whom there is still some chance Rich wan he of a recurrence of those fast disappearing qualities. Dast nj ght lovers of the old com i edy and the old manner were happy.

Tho i play. "A Marriage of Convenience," Eng I lished by Sidney Grundy from a comedy ol 1 Louis XV by the elder Dumas, is a huge soap wwwwic, crfj no sue mac ono expects it 10 go 1 to pieces before his eyes but glittering with all the colors from the prism of wit. The story is nothing, the manner everything. A comedy of manners when it is played with the manner of "the rialto," or of Grand street or Cheapside is a most depressing thing. But Mr.

Drew is a survh al and descendant from the days when the stage reflected the manners of a brilliant artificial society and when it in turn gave graces and elegances for the Imitation of the beaux in simaill cklthe and the grande dames in powder and patches. He has the finish of the aid and artificial sohool and he has been able to impart it to his associates in this play to such a degree that this witty triile, which would vanish like the soap bubble before too rough a touch, sparkles with much of the orniitancy with wnich Dumas expected It to be played. The story is ot tho most gossamer like texture. The Count of Condalc, of the time of Louis XV, when they wore patches on their morals as well as on their faces, and covered their heads with powdered wigs woffle they bore tbeir vices exposed and smiling to all the gay world of Paris, has contracted a marriage of convenience with his charming littfle cousin from tho convent, a girl of whom he kno.vs nohting save that she exists and has a handsome fortune. In the case of the count there is a certain marquise who wears handsomer clothes and less of them than any other woman in Paris and whose reputation harmonizes with her raiment rather than her beauty.

For U10 cousin there is a sweetheart, tho brother of a girl friend in tho convent, a youth who, being the best of brothers, visited his sister daily. The sweetheart turns out to be the best friend ot the count, who finding him stand ing under his wife's window takes him in and presents him. There is the plot. The. count does not propose to make a scene, because a scene Is bad form though that phrase for it was not invented in the time of Louis XV.

So he sets up the establishment for three on which so much of French fiction turns. That synopsis does not sound alluring, certainly, but It is Just here that the lightness and grace of the elder Dumas and of his adapter come in to save what might be either disgusting or tragic from serious import. The establishment doesn't establish anything. Contrary to the more recent French manner It Is the lover and not the husband who is made ridiculous. There is an undertone of honest sentiment and a suggestion of respect for one ttnth of the decalogue, which is as saving salt.

Tho young wife turns to her husband before there has been more than a hint of danger and tho husband, learning that his wife loves him. leaves the marquise to the consolation of tho cherry and silver liveries and the cream colored horses he has bought her. The curtain falls upon a reconciliation and the foundation of a happy home, with the wedding only three days in the background. All this is accomplished with the aid of the wittiest text which has been heard on tho stage here for a long time. Mrs.

Ryley writes brilliant dialogue, but lit is largely the keenness with which her humor reflects the spirit of tho moment which pleases, and there is small likelihood that late in the next century the text of "An American Citizen" will appeal to an audience with anything like the happy ellect that this old play does to day Ryley Is more likely to bo merely a name i kui.u ti i. uuu ui umuiiii, icLionai lea. The wit of Mr. Grundy's text is well supple monted by the skill of Mr. Drew and his as sociates.

Daniel Frohman to the contrary notwithstanding, acting is an art which can nnt loarnorl tt.rnn years, and one of the most difficult details to master is the art of delivering pointed text so that the audience catches tho point and at tho same time so that it sounds as if the actor had that moment thought of the speech. In this no modern actor ever began to equal the mother of John Drew, from whoso Hps Mrs. Malaprop's nice derangement of epitaphs fell with absolute perfection. The son docs not equal the mother; probably he never will. But at least he understands what such art should be.

He does not slight it and among the men of his own generation 11. I If your children are well but not robust, they need Scott's Emulsion of Cod liver Oil.

Sorosis held a meeting in the Astor Gallery of the Waldorf Astoria yesterday. Sorosis is to the borough of Manhattan as the Civitas Club is to Brooklyn, lien are not allowed to be present at any of the sessions of these organizations.

The profound discussions and philosophical utterances of the elderly members, the brilliant sayings, the wit and humor of the juniors in debate, are reserved exclusively for reporters of their own sex. Whether It be due to the modesty of the members of Sorosis, the ignoble jealousy of the society entertained by night editors who allot space in the morning papers, or if it be due to the inability of the average woman shorthand reporter to keep pace with the average speaker at the meetings of Sorosis, it is nevertheless a fact that only skeletonized reports of proceedings are printed. No member of Sorosis is ever fully reported. For instance in today's papers there Is hardly more than the announcement that at yesterday's meeting several important subjects were disposed of within a brief period, among the number: "Some Interesting Conditions That Are Marking the Close of This Century and Shaping the Destiny of the Next." "Medical Science." "Arbitration." "Education." "Armenia." "The Drama." "The Effect of the Modern Extended Vacation upon Home, Church and Business Life." "Discoveries in "the Thought World." Those of my readers whose curiosity had "been aroused by the announcement that Mrs. Louise Downs would speak yesterday on "Discoveries in tho Thought World" must be content with the foil owing fragmentary report of what she said: "We stand in the glory of a dawn.

Conditions give promise of discoveries from the spirit side of life wluch scarcely touch the borderland of our imagination. I have neard a prophecy thai before the close of the twentieth century the art of photography will unfold to our perceptions the glories of the spiritual In nature, that it will show us ttie spiritual form of every plant long before the plant Is grown, that we shall see material atoms climb the spiritual atoms as the plant is materialized. The twentieth century will photograph the sincere and the insincere man. The ens will dlstinguisn moral and intellectual qualites. "That vibratory law, whl cl leaves the realm of the material and finds its home in the spiritual realm is no longer a matter of speculation.

Vibratory law is the fcey to our loves and hates, the cause of the harmony and discords of life. When this law is realized the home will become an Eden of peace and love, cbiWhcod will be reared under conditions of peace and Joy and the future genius of the world will express the power of the Intelligence of nature." It is quite likely that there is uch in the foregoing announcement that will provoke the smiles of the cynical, and be jeered at by many who are engaged in the sordid pursuits of life. And, perhaps, there is a great deal in this brief extract from a thoughtful woman's remarks which will be regarded by the ordinary man as the jargon ol speculation. But there are others to whom' the message is laden with hope. To Illustrate: Desiring to note the effect produced on the mind of my untutored groceryman, I explained to him what was meant by the statement that "The Twentieth century will photograph the sincere and insincere man.

The lens will discover moral and intellectual qualities." "Vot; is dot so?" exclaimed the honest man, a broad smile illuminating his expansive face. "I gif so much as finef tollars rlghdt away quick, for dot ding vich dells me if a man he intends do bay or schwindle me." With a view to ascertaining if the announcements made concerning "Discoveries in the Thought World" were in accord with the views of the advanced leaders in the realms of psychology on this side of the East River, I called upon Professor William. Cox, an authority in biology and student of rational psychology, who incidentally holds tho position of deckmaster In the Eastern District. It is said that he accepted this modest appointment because his duties as an official harmonize with his studies. Here it is but fair to state that the professor has the reputation of being a most efficient officer.

Having directed the professor's attention to the Sun's report of the meeting of Sorosis, I asked him what he thought of the announcement that the twentieth century will photograph the mind of the sincere and Insincere man; that the lens will distinguish moral and intellectual qualities. After puffing thoughtfully upon a fragrant Havana for a few seconds, the professor replied: "I am sorry that tho announcement has been publicly made. Of course, I am familiar with the efforts that are being made to perfect the camera referred to. I had hoped that the matter would be kept secret until I could have secured a fow snap shot pictures of tho Kings County Republican committee. The chances now are that the committee will pass a resolution prohibiting the use of a camera at aDy of Its sessions.

It's too bad that this thing has got out. As a matter of fact, I was going to try my camera on ex Sheriff Buttling and Bob Sharkey some day next week. I suppose it I was to point a camera at one of 'om now he'd yell 'Murder, and there was an unmistakable tinge of regret in tho professor's tones. "Then you really believe that the art of photography will unfold to our perceptions the glories of the spiritual in nature, and the evil and good in man?" I asked. "Certainly," said the professor, with emphasis.

"With Josephine Curtis Woodbury, I say 'who shall say that Marlon Crawford is wrong, when he foretells the possibility of summoning Heine, Chopin and Cicoro from tho vasty deep by turning the switch of a dynamo! Let us gird ourselves for the new glories close upon us! The dead may enter into the great jamborie. Nobody will be anybody in particular, but we shall all be somebody else, but on identity and individuality! Matter will be mind, and mind will be It you want to know more about this matter read the writings of Mme. Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled. She says In her books that she saw the spiritual forms of plants, and saw material atoms climb the spiritual atoms as the HI HI ell in HI Illt4i" III I A Cook's reason i for using Cleveland's Baking Powder It never fails.

MR. CARHART'S RECITAL. Some Excellent Music in All Souls' Uni versalist Church. Albert N. Carhart gave ono of his five organ recitals in the series at All Souls' Dniversalist Church, yesterday afternoon.

Among the loading organ selections which he played with excellent tonal effect were: ''Pastoial, op. 47." by Joseph Kheinberger. Chopin's 'Polonaise, op. 40," and a triumphal march by Lefebure Wily. In the Foecata from the Fifth Symphony of P.

M. Widor, Mr. Carhart showed his ability with the pedals and the intricate manipulation of the different manuals. Tlie artists who assisted were W. Paulding Dr.

Waltott's Lecture at the Brooklyn Institute. In the Art Building last evening Dr. Charles D. 'AValcott, chief of the United States Geological Survey, entertained the members with a description el' tho methods employed in that great branch of government eater prise. Dr.

Valcott opened his informal talk before the members of the department of geology with some facts and figures showing the magnitude of the government survey. He said that the survey enjoyed the distinction of being the largest and best equipped organization of its kind in the world. Of geologists and palaeontologists seventy five are employed in "Washington. There, are seventy eight topographers, and other employes number about three hundred and fifty. An idea.

of the size of the field force may be had when it is stated that 242 are employed on such work in Indian Territory alone. The appropriation for the survey for the coming fiscal year is a little over $1,000,000. Nearly one fifth of the United States has now been mapped by the survey, including several of tho New England states, part ol New York State and portions of the middle West, the South and the Rocky Mountain plateau. Dr. Walcott spoke at some length of the study of the formations, and also alluded to some interesting recent work in his department.

Greater New York is being carefully mapped by the survey's topographers and an accurate map of the Klond ike Da wson City region will bo issued by the department shortly. PARIS FASHIONS UP TO DATE.

As I was about to leave the professor be stopped me to speak ia warm commendation of Sorosis and its influence In molding public thought. Said he: "I see that one of the speakers at yesterday's meeting, In discussing the effect of modern extended summer vacations upon home, church and business life, expressed the belief 'that many persons were thrown out of employment by the modern summer vacation and that it had a tendency to demoralize business That is sound, common sense," said the Professor, earnestly.

"Last summer you couldn't find a Republican leader in town during the hot weather and there was many a poor fellow hunting for a political position that had to live on free lunches and Ridgewood water until the leaders got 'back from the Seashore or the mountains, and the Democrats were getting in their fine work all the time. These summer vacations are undermining our institutions, weakening our great parties and sapping the vitality of our public men." Of course, the boarding house keepers and the hotel men in the country won't agree with me. but I'm glad that one woman in Sorosis has the courage to speak out. Mebbe she got roasted the same as I did "when I settled my bill at Saratoga. MUL.

AMUSEMENTS IN MANHATTAN. Modjeska's Mary Stuart, the Opera and Other Things. An exceptionally large audience welcomed Mme. ModjesTta back to New York last evening, and greeted the celebrated actress with a display of enthusiasm which was at times almost embarrassing. Half a dozen floral tributes were handed over the footlights, and the recalls both of the star and of her excellent leading man, Joseph Haworth, were so numerous that they got beyond counting.

At the end of one act alone the curtain rose and fell seven times before the appreciation of the audience had been fully expressed. The piece selected for the opening week Is Modjeska's old favorite, "Mary Stuart," She has frequently said in speaking of this part: "I am Mary Stuart, and although perhaps in other productions she is given fuller scope for her genius, there can bo no doubt that as the unhappy Queens ol" Scots, retaining still the accent of her sunny France, Modjeska is perfect. It is a happy combination which has given her an actor such as Joseph Haworth for her principal support. His rendering of Mortimer's death scene was as finished as it was original, and he was obliged to respond four times to tho continued applause of the audience. John Malone aa Lord Burleigh and Lester Lonergan as the Earl of Leicester were exceptionally good, and Miss Anna Proctor's Elizabeth showed careful study and was In every detail historically correct.

Next week Modjeska will play five of her principal characters. Metropolitan Opera House. There was another great crowd at the Metropolitan Opera House last night when Rossini's "Barber of Seville" was repeated. Melba has made ono of tho greatest hits of her life as Rosina and last night she was as arch, as coquettish, and sang as brilliantly as on the first night she played the part here. There was the usual ovation in the lesson scene and the usual delight of a great crowd over Melba and her beautiful voice.

The support was far better than is usually offered when one of the great stars sings in light opera. Campanari sings so beautifully in "The Barber" that he shares the honors with Melba, and Carbonc. Salignnc and Boudouresque aro all excellent. Tho work will bo repeated Saturday arternoon, Melba in "The Barber" having taken the place in popular esteem which Calve in "Carmen" has held In previous seasons. Wednesday night "Sleefried" will ho sung and on Friday night "Die Gotterdam merung.

The Manhattan. "Way Down East," a play of the type of "Tho Old Homestead," but built on more conventional lines, 'had 'Its first Jfcw York presentation last night at the Manhattan Theater. The house was packed to the doors. Tno author of the play, Louise Blair Parke, certainly has reason to complain of ks reception, which was enthusiastic co a marked degree. 'Way Down East" tells fcfco story vf a deceived girl, who was loved by an hon esc man, of her trials and final restoration The company i.s gocd and includes Odell Williams as an old squire; Howard Kvle as his son: Frank Lander as the villain; Felix Hancy as a chore boy; Phoebo Davies.

The stage effects, upon which much of success of the play depends, were excellent. There were tho usual snow storm and sleigh bell accessories and some good quurto; singing wus Inir xluec d. The Eden Musee. The Passion Play reproduced by tho cinematograph at the Eden Musee. Is meeting with much success.

Each afternoon and evening the Musee Is crowded, and the great i est interest is taken in the reproduction. Th? lecture accompanying the vivid scenes is full of interest, and the music rendered is effective. A majority of the daily visitors are said to be church member. and ministers, and some are moved to tears a.s the pictures progress. The Musee's improved cinematograph is now being used, and the pictures aro reproduced with sharpness and an absence of flickering.

The other attractions of the Musee aro being constantly increased. Two new groups were on exhibition last even ing, anJ many important changes have taken 1 plac is the older wax groups.

He has long played boys uncommonly well and he gets the flavor of natural, petulant, human youth underneath I tho wig and small clothes of this part with out interfering with Its proper elegance of 1 bearing. The combination is charming and if he can play half a dozen parts as well as ho plays this one he is a coming comedian. At least he can give keen pleasure for I his week. Isabel Irving, who plays the Countess, has not always been happy in the parts for which she has been cast In Brooklyn.

She plays this ono very much better than she has done anything else without yet fully realizing its possibilities. Tho tenderness of her countess Is admirable, so uncommonly ovfollont fllftf nne Tim. 1. 1 ...01, delight and with tho feeling that perhaps Mr. Frohman was right after all and that It might be possible to make a good actress I by some forcing process or other.

There can be no doubt of the popularity of Julia Marlowe' Juliet. This theater was filled last night with en: husiastlc admirers! of her embodiment of the innoc. young maiden. It i. diifloul: for anyone to help admiring her performance, it js youthful: i' is honest.
