Ills continued three minutes, causing a rush from the house. The theatre adn galleries were partially empited when the dome in the centre of the roof, with its supporting Limbers and trusses, came numbering down, The dome extended across the opera house and was about 30 fest wide. When it fell the ends struck both sides of the gallery, crushing it and scattering timbers in every direction, and finally Sanding in the centre of the perquatte. Scarcely anybody was hurt in the bal- cony or dress circle. Thera were very row in the gaClery at the time. The injured are 511085 who had not yet escaped ,from the parquotte.

Nervine treats the system as the wise reformed treats the evils he is battling against, It strikes at the root of the trouble. An die- ease comes from disorganization of the nerve centers.
