The "New Danites," entirely reconstructed, with McKee Rankin in his original part of Sandy, will be the attraction at the opera house this evening. Mr. Rankin is too well-known to need any introduction of him to the play-goers of Ann Arbor, as he has appeared here a number of times to crowded houses, suffice it to say that he still stands at the head of the border héroes of the stage. In Miss Mabel Bert, Mr. Rankin has secured a lady of great talent as an actress and also one of marked beauty. Miss Bert ís a comparative stranger here.

Colton, Prof. Harrington's assistant in meteorological work, has recently made another experiment in moonlight photography which The Register explained some weeks ago. The result is a very handsomephotograph of the obervatory building. It shows remarkable detail. The exposure of the plate in the camera was from 8:30 p. m. to midnight one evening last week when the moon was ful), and it proved to be too long for best resulta. About two hours would have been better. The light not being continuously from one direction, the shadows are peculiar. Six faint lines in the negative, two of which appea on the picture, were caused by the motion of stars acro89 the field of view, the time of exposure being ampie for that result. Mr. Colton has made other handsome photographs of campus scènes in the ordinary way.
