Mr. R. W. Brighouse, who ap- peared for Mrs. Ross, said she was the daughter, of Inspector Holmes, of the .S.P.C.C., and was married at Bury in 1925. They were unable to live happily together. He was in the Lancashire Constabulary, but resigned in 1999, and in March of that year she asked for. "a separa- tion order at Southport, and this was granted. Her husband" was late in coming to Court, and after a talk with him (Mr. Brighouse) outside he agreed to an order for 238. a week. He never had the slightest latention of paying under the order, said Mr. Brighouse, and went across to, an hotel and wrote a letter to his wife which showed he could not earn money by anything else he might possibly succeed as a humourist.

Mr. Brighouse read the letter, which was as follows:

In return for this unusual ser- vico Mr. Harron has agreed to bequeath them his fortune, which, of course, by the very fact of the experiment, may be a long-delayed reward

- 500- Applicants, The lucky couple, selected from more than 500 applicants, including

descendant of Peter the Great, are Dr. and Mrs. Lozinsky, yi Moudon, a, suburb of Paris.

The announcement of the experi ment, showed that the St. Louis millionaire believes that the human race dies off comparatively young because it live, in the wrong wav, After many secret experimente in a remote spot in Hawaii Mr. Har- no conceived the system of living which he is convinced will not only permit mankind to live two or three hundred years, but actually to ap- proximate immortality.

He then came to Paris, with his Chinese valet, and inserted an ad- Cast of characters (in order of

The play opens with a police. court scene, the villain being the defendant. All are seated breath- less, waiting for the villain to ap pear. He arrives twenty minutes late. Loud laughter from the other

actors.

The Fool I have got him now. The Villain, sitting in the wit- ness-box, makes an appeal to the mazistrates, which is accepted. The Fool and others laugh. The Villain: Good-bys for ever. Fall of curtain..

"Death Unnatural.”

The purpose of the plan is to achieve a perfect balance of action and inaction, consumption and de- composition in the body," Mr. Har- non explained to-day in his luxuİ- ous Oriental Hat

"Once that is achieved there is no reason why the body should not live for ever.
