Irresistibly Ludicrous.

One of those things happened at the
National Theatre the other night which
mostpapers are too dignifed to mention,
but which everybody likesto talk about.
1t was during the last act Of Mother
and Son. and Janauschek, with one
other person, was holding the stage. It
was a situation Of some suspense, and
the house was perfectly still. There
was a pause, too, in the dialogue so.
that on the stage also there happ to
be complete stiffness.
Just at that moment a man in the par
quette blew his nose. It.was not vio-
lent, savage blast, but long, sonorous,
luxurious. blow, such as the horns that
marched around Jericho might have
given on the seventh round, in the SEE
rene confidence that the walls would
come down promptly. The effect was
irresistibly ludicrous. The audience,
in their respect for the actors and their
interest in the play, struggled bravely
to preserve a good demeanor, but twas
no use. a wave Of half-supp
laughter ran over the house, and many
who succeeded in keeping silence fairly
shook.
On the stage the situation was still
worse. Even Janauschek s5tragic gray-
ity was disturbed. Her face tWitched
again and again in the effort to control
herself, and she was glad to use the
handk erchief she had in her hand to
cover her confusion. For a moment it
looked as if an emoti onal scene would
be dissolved in a broad laugh. but the
actors struggled on with the dialogue,
and, after 4 few minutes, the play re-
sumed its hold on the audience. For

The discipline of the German army is

impor.ant economies in the modes of trado
which the use of the telegraph has produced.
Steam is used instead of sail on the sea, ana
the result has been grea. reduction in the cost
of the service rendered. The Suez Canal has
permanently cheapened many commodities
for all Europe, and improvements OF rivers
and harbOrs have had similar effect but
the wonderful gro With of the railway ana teie-
graph systems IN this and other countries mas
been of the utmost Importance. The cost Oh
moving grain or provisions from western
farms to the seaboard has been reduced more
than the price of almost any product Oh IN
dus.ry. This has made permanent difference
in the cost of such products In European as
well as in American markets. But the build
ing of railways in India, in Russia and III
Egypt has also had most important iniiu-
ence. At this very time the price OF grain III
this country is largely affected by those dis
tont railroads, because it is known that inn
menss supplies of grain can be sent to Euro
mean markets by means of them at lower cost
than would otherwise be charged for the Amer
lean surplus in years of moderate or short
production.
1t is impossible to trace in detail all the
phases of this great commercial revOlulloD.
Coal has been cheapened in many districts or
consumpton and iron ore as well, and in con-
sequence the cost of making iron, steel and
great number of other products has been re-
duced SO of other products in very many
cases the apparent difference in the cost OF
production is really due mainly to difference
in the cost of transportation. Many thousand
millions have been invested within the past
twenty years, in the Improvement and extern
sion of means of transportation-n railroads,
canals, telcgraphs, better harhors, improved
rivers and more perfect ships. AS result, all
the world gets cheaper products, but this Is not
an evidence of an appreciation in the purchas-
ing power of gold. Gold buys more to-day oil
various commodities than at almost any other
time in the worlds history, in part because the
movement of those commodities to the prin-
cipal markets of the world has been astonish-
ngly chcapencd.

A distinguished ENGLISH economist not long
ago published an elaborate article in which it
was maintained that the purchasing power of
gold had materially INCREASED since the demon
citation of silver by several nations. Prices
of commodities were compared for il long series
of years, and the fact that prices had OH the
whole been lower of late years WAS held to cs-
tablish the appreciation of gold" To { is
argument Mr.. Moxon replies in late number
of The LOHdOd Economist, showing that the fall
Of prices may he attributed in part to reduced
cost of production, TO reduced margins of
profit for traders, to excessive production. and
to reduction of credits. These causes, he
reasons, have been more potent than the ap-
probation of gold.
another article calls attention to the important
reduction in the cost of handling grain fIom
this country. Bnt this only suggests a broader
change which has affected pricts throughout

cost of transpor tation. That cost Of production
