Cause of Explosions in Flour Mills.
(Chicago Tribune.)
An Engllah firm of millers, troubled
with dust explosions, set about dlacov.
ering the cause of ignition of the dust.
The mills use the steel roller process
of patent dour, and Iron or steel parti.
Cles In the grain wore suspected of
coming in contact with the steel rolls
and emitting thu spark, causing the ex
plosions.
Accordingly an apparatus was de
signed by which all the grain subject
to the rolls first was passed over high
ly magnetised steel arresters. The re
ran was strikingly in proof of the the
ory. These electro magnets collected
•tee! and iron particles ranging from
the microscopic up to box nails several
Inches long. With a standard equip
ment of arresters capable of passing
1.000 bushels of grain an hour, so much
metal collects that several times a day
the magnets must be swung aside and
brushed clean of their accumulations.

2?'“S*** y'i 11 ™ at ' n «« on Monday, Billy
hi th? 5 nd ,, t , he Beaumont Sisters will
be the headline features. The return
hi Y*? £ tla . nta welcomed
V of a< >mirers. His visits to
l-S BIJou years ago were always rec
ord-breading attendance events, and
since he has been In vaudeville his en-
gagements held him In the larger cities.
Next season he Is to return to the mu
sical comedy field, with the Misses
Beaumont, and the week at tho For-
syth will be his farewell appearance In
vaudeville. The act Is a gingerly one-
act musical comedy that will be a draw,
lng card of real power. Anna Chand-
ler, who was such a favorite at the
Orpheum two years ago when she
scored a hit that has never since been
eclipsed, will bo another feature. Miss
Chandler Is on« of the recognised star
comediennes of present moment vaude
ville. She comes to the Forsyth di
rect from successes during the last
four weeks on Broadway and almost
direct from the "other side” where she
was a great success. She will have the
newest songs and will be a popular
card. The Evers-Wisdom Company In
Smalley’s baseball sketch, "Baseballl
tls,” will be another feature and a time
ly topic, too. The playlet Is founded
on the ravings of a “fan" before his
dear mother-in-law who knows noth
ing of baseball. The complications are
funny and the sketch will be a great
hit. The Iskawara Japs, who have
been recently released from the court
of the mikado, for-a tour of the world,
will offer one of the most sensational
acts that vaudeville or a circus has
ever seen. They are marvels In their
work and have attracted a great In
terest in the largest cities and perform
original feats that are proof against
copy. \
Williams and Warner, novelty musi
cians, will offsr an act that has created
a world of interest on tho circuits.
They have adopted Freeh Instruments
and will Introduce some of the queer
est Ideas of making music that has
been attempted. Dill and Ward, a
dainty singing and dancing duo, and
Nevlns and Erwood, black-face enter
tainer*, will complete the bill.
The bill promises to bo one of the
great successes of the Forsyth sea
son, and the usual great demand for
seats is on record.
O’Diva Coming to Forsyth.
Tho Forsyth management announces
the engagement of the world-famous
O’Diva, the most wonderful diver and
swimmer appearing in public. O'Dlva
comes from a great country, and at
her home was the greatest of all pearl
divers. She was Induced to adopt the
stage and made her first appearance in
Europe, using a great glass case-tank
that enables her audience to see every
thing that Is done while she Is In tho
water. Her dives are made Interesting
because of this feature. She can re
main under water longer than history
tells any one olse can. She Is to be at
the Forsyth the week of. May 16. Nell
O’Brien, the famous end man of the
Dockstader Minstrels and who has al
ways been a star of the minstrel world,
will come to the theater the week after
next and arrangements have been made
for an early appearance of the cham
pion of champions, John L. Sullivan.
The Grand.
With five weeks of genuine success
achieved, the Grand players will begin
tho sixth week of their engagement
Monday night. It will be a considera
bly altered and strengthened cast that
greets the first night audience. Misses
Ireno Timmons and Annie Rodgers,
leading lady and iligenue, respectively,
and Charles Arthur are the new faces
that will appear, and If past perform
ances and records go for anything, their
addition will greatly strengthen the
company.
“The Commanding Officer'’ has been
selected as the vehicle for Introducing
tho new people, and the popular favor
with which this play has been met gives
every Indication that the selection Is a
happy one. "The Commanding Officer
was written by the popular playwright
Theodore Burt Sayre, and Is numbered
among his beat effort!. It deal* with
army post life at a far West post, and
brings out the trouble* and Internal
dissensions that sometimes take place
among the men In blue. Many dram
atists havo treated this subject, but
none have made more of their subject
matter than the author of The Com
manding Officer.” t
Miss Timmons will take the leading
female role of Floyd Carroll, and Mr,
Arthur will play, opposite her In the
role of Lieutenant Hammond. This
role was created by Bruce McRae, who
scored a great hit In the part. Mr.
Arthur Is a handsome, striking actor
and In this military role will have a
great opportunity for getting away to
a strong following with patrons of the
G Miss Annie Rodgers will have her
first part In the role of Qwendolln. Shu
Is said to be a really capable Ingenue,
something which the company ha<
lacked thus far. and she will doubtless
become a great favorite Immediately.
IHrector Warren F. Hill will lend
every effort toward giving the produc
tion a strong staging, and the new com
bination will doubtless add another
success to the long list heretofore
achieved by the Grand players.

The Lyrio.
It has been really a wonderful suc
cess that has crowned the efforts of
.he Schiller Players at the beautiful
Lyric. Tho company, an unknown and
speculative quality on last Monday, Is
today one of tho best liked and most
capable combinations of dramatic and
artistic talent that has ever formed a
summer stock company in Atlanta, It
is classy and popular and Individually
a most tremendous success, socially
as well as theatrically.
A good many people went to the
Lyric the first part of the week because
of curiosity, nnd as a cold matter of
fact to be shown. They were In tho
audiences the last of the week, rooting
like a flock op the bleachers for the
company. And .this Is the actual con
dition of affairs. The company played
“The Olrl of the Golden West" In a
fashion that won the admiration of
great audiences all the week. Mario
Pavey and Richard Thornton, who
maintained their positions as leading
people, have become actual and real
favorites, nnd the others In tho combi
nation who had the feed parts rendered
such excellent accounts that there Is a
real and vnst Interest In what they will
do In the future. .
It has also been demonstrated that
the Schiller company knows how to
tnke care of the mechanical, scene and
electrical part of a production. Tho
play this week Is a marvel In produc
tion. There Is not a detail great or
small that has not been given the
greatest expert treatment, nnd this
condition will exist In all future offer
ings.
Going from a play of tho caliber of
the Belasco masterpiece on this week to
a roaring farce comedy like the Mad
ison Square farce aucceas, "lira. Tam-
pie’s Telegram,’’ will tax tho versa
tility of the company to a degree that
will be Interesting to follow. Tho play
Is to go on next week with every de
tail of tho original production, even to
tho color schemes. Miss Pavey and
Mr. Thornton have been cast for the
lending roles, and they are to be totally
different from tho ’’girl'’ and tho "man”
of this week. They will be parts that
the two clever people can and will live
nnd that will establish them ns greater
favorites thnn at this moment.
Mrs. Temple’s Telegram” will also
serve to Introduce several new mem
bers of the company. That Is people
who have been here two or three weeks,
but who were not required In tho bill
this week. Dorothy Dalton, the pretty
little Ingenue, will have her Initiation,
nnd she Is Just the sort of cute little
woman that the Atlanta people will like.
Margarltc Randolph, of whom much Is
expected as the season progresses, Is
also In the cast, and there will be a
S iod deal more for Frank Darien to do
an he has Jind this week, while Harry
Beaumont nnd Harry Stafford, who
have made themselves liked, will come
In for a better assignment 1 of parts.
The play Is a comedy, and a comedy
will be refreshing Just at this time.
Stage Director Joseph Byron Totten
promises a production of worth and
merit nnd declares ths piece will be
played as If It has been on the road all
season.
There will be the regular Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday afternoon per
formances, and evening performances
commence at 8:16 o'clock.
The~Bljou.
Tho announcement that
beat bill of the season
next week at tho BIJou has created
quite a little talk among patrons of this
house, as every promise that haa been
made by the management has been
more than fulfilled with tho splendid
vaudeville attractions that hare t be*n
offered there from week to week. The
week closing Saturday night has been
one of the most agreeable of tho season,
not only on account of the Immense
audiences that have witnessed each
show, but also on account of the char
acter of the attraction offered. The
flrst-run pictures of the ”101 Ranch'
have attracted much attention, as they
were tho most novel and Interesting
that have been offered In a motion pic
ture line In Atlanta In a long time, and
the vaudeville end of the performance
was quite In keeping with ths high
standard set by the BIJou since Its
Initial opening two years ago. For
next week the special feature of the
program will be the "Three Troopers.”
a trio of singers and musicians, who
will offer a comedy musical playlett en
titled "Stopover In Dlnkvllle." Sixteen
minutes of hearty laughter and good
music Is promised In this act, which
has been one of tho big hits all over
the circuit. The Valolse Brothers,
French athletes and gymnasts, will be
another strong attraction which will
bid for popular favor. Genia Rale, "Th*
Olrl From Chi,” will present tier en
tertaining song and dance act, nnd Lew
Ward, the Inimitable comedian, will
keep you laughing for ten minutes.
Charles La8alte will have some new
Illustrated songs and the splendid mo
tion pictures will open and close each
performance. Matinees are given every
day at 2:20 and 4 and night shows at
