A new Partisan drama contains a bal
loon ascension. The heroine OF the
play, after she has reachedthe flies in
her aerial carriage, suddenly loses her
balance and falls in large sheet of
water representing the ocean,, from
which she is rescued. Another play in
preparation is even more realistic. In
this drama woman is drowned, and
the plot depends upon the identification
OF the body. Accordingly one act is set
in the morgue, which is modelled after
that in Paris, with number of marble
slabs upon which the dead bodies are
placed. Upon these slabs the author
proposes to LAY out" a number of first
class specimens-men and women made
up to represent dead people. A sheet
is to cover the body up to the chest, and
above the head is little water.spout
from which tepid water falls upon the
face OF the supposed dead. The gen.
eral effect of all this is assisted BY an
electric light, and if the corpses only
remain perfectly still, the dramatist pre-.
diets the most realistic scene ever seen
upon any stage.

fitness for the work. The sooner such teacher.
are dismissed and made to know that they are
mistaken in their calling the better for them
and for the rising generation. poor schoo
is worse than worthless A really good schoo
is beyond all value. Both leave their impress
sion for future ages.
