...east, after the vessel, God's anger climbed in the likeness of a black cone. The air thinned, darkened, the sea cowered beside the ship; Jonah slept. Suddenly, the sail split from top to bottom and one mariner, huddled with the rest, called on the name of his god in a voice shrill and little like a bat's; next instant, with a great clap, the sky fell into...
...college man should hold virtuously alcof, it receives its death. How in the announcement of Professor Stuart that the Triangle Club is about to build a four hundred thousand dollar experimental theatre at Princeton. Not a few of the recent innovations in scenery and lighting, such as the cycloramic cone and the "rainbow" effect, have originated among students at eastern universities.

He recalls the 50-year vogue of lithium water, then the hypnotic wave made classic in Trilby and finally dooms modern psychoanalysis to the same neglect into which both the previous obsessions have fallen. Cures associated with superstition are also...
...York Stock Exchange seats of Henry E. Cone and George L. Loft (son of George W. Loft, candy man) were sold to W. A. Beaver and Arnold Wood, Jr., respectively, for the low price of $80,000 apiece -a decline of $2,000 from the last sale. Secretary Cox of the Exchange said: "These sales nail the lie that memberships are being offered at $75,000 and less...
