Please print Keats' definition of beauty which I have recently seen, referred to in a magaslne. INQUIRER.

This may be it: "Beauty Is truth, and truth Is beauty." It appears In his "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Another reference to beauty by Keats Is: A thing of beauty l' Joy forever; Its loveliness Increases; It will never Pass Into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, ana quiet breathing. 4 Keats' Bndymlon, Book 1, Line 1.

M. E. Answer The searchlights, which were unusually brilliant last week, silver plate is that brass Is much more porous than silver and a porous metal ia a poor vibrator. The silver plate Alls the pores and put the instrument practically In a silver class. Gold is even more dense than silver, but cost may curtail its use In the plating of band instruments.

The metal in a band instrument is of medium hardness. Brass is about as cheap a metal as can be worked up into musical instrument shapes. Darky's Account of Creation, Please tell me the title and the name of the author of "The Darky's Account of Creation." Mrs. G. T.

Will a reader kindly help us to locate these An Old Coney Hotel. Kindly tell me when the Colossal Elephant Hotel Was built at Coney Island and when It was destroyed by fire. A word about the hotel would be welcome. WIRE Eugene L.

Armbruster, our local historian, kindly furnishes the following reply to your questions: The Colossal Elephant, alias the Elephant Hotel, stood back of Surt near the Sea Beach Railroad Terminal. The structure was 17ii feet in height and 203 feet in length, the body proper 109 feet long. The building represented a giant elephant and was erected by a Philadelphia syndicate at a cost of about $75,000. The cost has been mentioned as much greater, but perhaps the surrounding structure was then Included. On the elephant's back rested the usual towerlike inclosure in Which the Oriental travelers find shelter against the sun.

Below that were six rows of windows: therefore, the Elephant must bo classed among the seven-story buildings. A scenic railway was built around the Elephant. The hotel was opened in August. 1884, and C. A.

Bradenbunrh was t'he innkeeper, at least his name appears in 1885. The Elephant was consumed by a most spectacular fire within a half hour's time on Sept. 27, 18U6. In a sketch of Coney-Island recently published by the writer 1906 was given as (he yeat of the fire. When this error was trom, while many prefer to think the material was cedar, and other writers assert it was hewn from oak; but the aspen is more generally accepted as the wood used for the cross of tho crucifixion.

According lo the Misaouri Botanical Bulletin, the oldest known tree in the w-orld Is a bald cypress growing in Santa Maria del Tula. Mexico. It is said to be about 126 feet in clrcumfer-enca and from 4.000 to 6,000 years old. Dr. Mary Walker.

Did Dr. Mary Walker, the only American woman allowed by the Government to wear man's clothes, wear regulation male attire? OLD Dr. Mary Walker, the noted Civil War nurse, who was permitted by the Government to wear man's attire as a recognition of the great service she rendered during the Civil War in camp and hospilal, is shown in a picture, taken shortly after the close of the Civil War. which depicts her in rather nondescript clothes, con-sisttag of trousers and a skirt which reached to her knees. After the war she lived at Oswego, N.

where she was a familiar figure on the street. She had assumed conven tional male attire, black Prince Albert coat and black trousers, and she always affected a silk hat. Canadian Water Power. Please let me know the available water power of Canada and why it is referred to as "white coal. T.

T. Mc. The committee on water power of Canada, following a survey of the total available water power of that country, reported that Quebec has 6.000,000 available horsepower, On tario 5.800.000. British Columbia 3.000,000, Manitoba 2,800,000 and a considerable amount of water power in olher parts of the Dominion. Al together the horsepower Is summed UP at 18,832,000.

It is estimated that more than 85 percent of the total electric power in Canada is derived from water. The tftrms "white "green coal" and "blue coal" have been employed by scientists to symbolically express those great forces of nature which for many years they have been striving and are still striving to utilize industrially. The expression "white coal." now well known in this country. Is applied in Europe to energy derived from glaciers found in Switzerland. Norway and elsewhere.

The term "green coal" signifies the power derived from the streams and the term "blue coal" refers to thrt force exerted by the waves and tides of the ocean, the greatest source of terrestrial energy known to man.

E. People who have had experience with ice arc inclined to think that tha papar-covered ice will last longer than ice not covered, but they also Contend that the box is not kept so cool as when the ice is uncovered. It is a fact, however, that ice melts faster In water than out of aster, and when the paper becomes soaked It Is a question if it retards or hastens melting. 1 A Dawes Organisation.

With the continued heavy enrollment of Scouts at the Queens Boy Scout Camp at Ramapo Mountains, the Queens Council Is facing a prob lent in connection with lis plans foi 1925. Th" camp rommlttee is already giving consideration to the possible acquisition of additional ground in Ramapo and also has under consideration a possible overflow to camp somewhere on Long Island. Three hundred and twenty-fly PcoutJS will be under canvas on Wednesday of this week and indications point to a very high enrollment fof the remainder of the season. To one ho has but a vague idea of what Scouting is the camp opens up realms of possibilities. A new addition this year is a highly developed museum in the double-decked "Ltbskoozeum."

KMUE.ll. It was to regulate the distribution of-property by will and to prevent the excessive accumulation of es tates. It had a curlotiB origin.

On July 27, 1797, one Peter Thelluson, an English mercnant. oi rrc birth, died In London, leaving a certain sum of money to his widow and children, and the remainder cf his property, then 'amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, to trustees to accumulate during the lives of his children, the lives of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren llvlnff at the time of his death and the survivors of them. The accumulation would have been enormous. The will was contested, but was held valid. In order, however, to prevent such disposition of property In the future.

Parliament passed what was called the Thelluson Act, or Accumulation Act, regulating and limiting bequests In such a way as tq make great accumulation impossible. When Peter Thelluson's last surviv. tng grandson died, in 1856; a question arose as to whether eldest male descendant of the eldest son should inherit the property, and this question was decided by appeal to the House of Lords In' Jtlhe, 1S39. The Thelluson will and legislation growing out of it were subjects of much discussion by lawyers. John Gelger and Peters and LeBuft complete the "The Arab' on Screen at iocw's Metropolitan.

Why does glass exposed to the sun often turn violet in color? Student. The violet color acquired by some glass after exposure to light Is generally attributed to change in the state of oxidation of the manganese In the glass, which is produced by ultra-violate actinic lfght. This effect is not characteristic of any locality, but may be found anywhere. It is especially noticeable in glass bulbs of arc lights.

D. None of the States of the Union was formed to make a home for the poor, but it is true that in English Colonial days Georgia, the 13th colony, was formed to make as asylum for the poor. The laws of England permitted imprisonment for debt. Thousands of English laborers who through misfortune and thoughtless contracts had become Indebted to the rich were annually arrested and thrown into prisons. Whole families were rendered destitute by the law To provide refuge for down-trodden poor of England, and the distressed Protestants of other countries.

James Oglethorpe, the philanthropist, a member of Parliament, appealed to Gtorge II for the privilege of planting a colony in America. The petition was favorably leard. and on June 1 732, a royal charter was Issued by which the territory between the Sa-vannali and Alabama Rivers and westward from the upptir fountains of those rivers to the Pacific was organized and granted lo a corporftlon for 21 years to be held in trust for the poor.
