the somewhat fantastic Vienna he depiets, the atmosphere and spirit of this city are often so represented that in past years audiences have been offended, and the place of ac- tion has had to be transferred to some other Continental city.

Even that alteration could not prevent "Measure for Measure"

its from being a failure. After first production at the old Burg- theatre in 1783 under the title of "Justice and Revenge" in a tran- slation by Broemel, it disappeared after four performances. The play was hardly more fortunate in 1902 at the new Burgtheatre, when it was produced with a first-class cast, and reached six performances! this connexion it may be of interest to remember that Richard Wagner was also unfortunate in using "Measure for Measure" for his ear- ly opera, "Das Lichesverbot," which failed.

In

The comedy is now produced in the new adaptation by Dr. Richard Flatter, Vienna lawyer. He has tried to modernise la language by using rather every-day German for his translation, spicing it occa-' sionally with Viennese idioms. For

and

this he is blamed by a number of critics, who hold that the old ver- sion by Schlegel and Tieck is in finitely superíor in strength power of expression and incorpar ably nearer to the spirit of Shakes peare. But although the now ver. sion is called "an affair full of banalities," the lines go well on the boards, and various tuts are wel come. Whether some of the altera tions and transpositions of scenes are permissible raises a different question...

The audience received the mo- dernised play with great enthu siasm. The final impression is summed up by a biting critic:

"The Burgtheatre had a beautiful night, but Shakespeare a bad one."

utch expedition visited Jan.U.S.A., Canada, Japan and Shanghai Mayen and set up a memorial stone, but the stone had to be placed merely by guesswork. Mr. Olenkin, who made the discovery, says that when the Dutch expodi- tion had left he began a systematic search, and finally, at Walrus Bay, found a cairn resembling the old Viking burial places. He began to explore it, and when only a few stones had been removed he found a skull, several teeth, and finally picees of wead from the coffins and the remains of the bodies,

A Gruesome Tragedy. Behind the death of these seven Dutchmen lies one of the most gruesome tragedies of the Arctic. In 1833 a Dutch whaling expedi- tion had built a station at Jan Manila Mayen, but the skipper was Swatow curious to know whether it was possible to stay at the island over the winter, as if that were possible the hunting season might be con- siderably extended. Seven of his crew declared themselves willing and on experiment, to try the August 26 they were left behind, with a doz as company: none of them had had any previous expe- rience of wintering in the Far North. Their leader was Outgert Saigon Jacobson, and he had carefully Straits written down to the day of his death every detail of the tragic experience.

The diary shows that everything turned out quite contrary to what had been expected: The men be- lieved that it should be possible to ill enfficient bear and whales to upply fih mest, but, when the darkness set in no animals were to' be found. There remained only the supply of salted meat. and soon scurvy developed. When spring ar rived they were so weak that they could hardly move. Jacobson sets! down in his diary that they killed
