Gift and Talent.



Mrs. Kemble, in her recent book,
makes very fine distinction between
the dramatic gift and the theatrical
talent.
The dramatic gift, she says, is an in.
stinctive tendency to demonstrate emo.
ton in voice, or look, or gesture; or if
not this, it is the power to understand
the passionate, the emotional, or the
humorous element in life and literature,
while the theatrical talent is merely the
faculty that initiates what is dramatic
and seli-eonsciously reproduces it. She
considers that the dramatic gift is es.
sentially that of the Italians, while the
theatrical talent is as essentially French
in its nature. The combination of both
is required to make the ideal actor.
"There is, Mrs. kemble continues,
"a SPECIFIC comprehension Of effect and
of the means OF producing it, which is in
some persons distinct capacity, and
this forms what actors call the study OF
their profession; and in this, which is
the alloy necessary to make theatrical
that which was only dramatic, lies the
heart OF the mystery, and the snare in
their craft in more ways than one; and
this, the actual business goes sometimes
absolutely against the dramatic tempera-
ment which is, nevertheless, essential
to it.
Mrs. kembles keen and delicate in.
sight, never missing one shade of spir-
itual values, renders her observations as
applicable to social life as to that of the
professional stage. 1t is the dramatic
temperament that perceives life in its re-
lations, its situations; that has its unity
of ideal toward which all these evanes.
cent groupings tend. Ii may he an Gle.
ment of the revised ideal OF living to
grow out of the initiative, which Mrs.
kemble defines as the theatrical talent,
alone, into the wider grasp, the deeper
sympathy of real relations with that
which furnishes suggestion and inspira-
ton to us.

The dropping Of day in going across
the Pacific ocean eastward, say from
Yokohama to San francisco, is not very
difficult to understand, though many
persons are puzzled over it, Even the
Hon. James Brooks, in his sketch vol
ume "A Seven Months Run Up and
Down and Around the World" written
in 1871, says: Yesterday was Thurs
day, to-day is Saturday, June IL. We
have dropped out Friday, which ought
TO have been June 10th this year: there
are only six days this weekday, only
fiqe, from Sunday to Sunday. l am
puzzled over this geography and the
chart, and though doubtless it is all
clear to the navigator and astronomer, l
have found it not so easy to store ii
away in my head We are
not in Gideon, nor the valley of Ajalon,
with the enemies to avenge, as Joshua
was when he had ordered the sun and
moon to stand still, but the sun stands
still to us in the wide wilderness of
waters, as we lose the day.
In brief explanation, let anyone imag-
inc himself TO start at MONDAY and
travel to the westward as rapidly as the
sun-or more correctly, as the earth
turns eastward on its axis--it is evident
that to him there wonld be no rising or
setting OF the sun; there could be none,
for the sun would be constantly over.
head. In like manner, ii we were to
start at MONDAY and travel at some
rapid rate, say 1000 miles per hour,
there wound be to him two full days in
twenty-four hours. e., two sun-ris-
ings, two moons, Two sunsets and two
nights. Now the reason for dropping O
day while crossing the Pacific instead OF
the Atlantic or Indian, or any other
ocean, is because the lS0th parallel of
longitude east or west is found there
that is, the point immediately on the
opposite side of the earth from the OBJ
servatory in Greenwich, near London,
which navigators uniformly count as
their starting point or zero.
In starting eastward or against the
suns apparent course, it is necessary to
drop day, and for convenience and uni
formity this is done at the lS0th paral.
lei; in like manner, in moving westward,
or with the sun, one day must be added
or counted twice If this were not done,
the traveller would find on arriving at
his journeys end, that according as he
went east or west around the world, he
had gained or lost day, both of the
week and month. In other words, Mr.
Smith, who left Chicago 1.-THE real center

being put together, make up one day in
