Britain's Gandhite. Suddenly, Congressman Snell and every one else in the chamber beheld an ascetic looking Laborite with high cheekbones and owlish glasses leap up from his bench and, pulling a queer white cap from his pocket, clap it on his head. What did that mean...
...swimming bull, who submerged when capture seemed near, to come up snorting, blowing and swimming further away. After one such disappearance the pursuers gave the animal up, thought it had drowned. Hours later, a fisherman inbound off Sea Gate, some seven miles from the bull's dive, beheld a horned creature swimming out to sea with the tide. The fisherman approached, threw an anchor rope, caught and towed the beast, still belligerent, to shallow water at Coney Island. To get the animal into an S. P. C.

...opera and operetta, locally called "Muny Opera." One night last week, St. Louis playgoers motored, taxied or bussed into Forest Park to witness the premiere of the "Muny Opera's" twelfth season-Sigmund Romberg's Nina Rosa, which recently had its debut in Chicago.

A characteristic Shubert addition is the $10,000 revolving stage, largest in the U. S., built between Forest Park's renowned...

Though they were indoors, they beheld the strange gyrations of the sky. Though it was but 3 p. m. they saw the sun go down, Venus, the evening star, appear. It was the opening performance of the country's first planetarium. A planetarium is a complex instrument for reproducing on an elaborate scale the motions of the 5,400 stars visible to man, and the planets of the solar system. It is a simple matter to note the motion of the moon and sun because they are large, travel rapidly relative to man. But the stars are so deliberate...
