A SHIPWRECK
ON THE STAGE.
ThG Mechanism That Is RGQuirGd to Pro-
duCe Realistic Effects.
A Peep Behind and Under the Stage While a
smuggler's Craft Sinks to Davy Jones'
Locker During Storm.

Every now and then somebody gets "be-
hind the see mes" of theater aud gives
away" all tire secrets which the actors,
stage manager and property men have
worked long to learn and striven hard to
keep. But seldom or never is the region
beneath the scenes" explored. Here Is
mysterious portion of stageland, which is
practically an undiscovered country, full of
interest machinery and pitfalls. and it is
here that the actual work of wrecking a ship
occurs. as was witnessed a few evenings
since by a representative Of THE CALL, dur
ing the storm scene in "Sinbad the Sailor"
at the Baldwin Thsater. Thousands have
already witnessed the sinking OF the vessel,
a smuggling craft called the Roc, with all
hands on board. but there are few who have
any idea of the mechanism brought into play
for the purpose OF producing the effects.
In the stage itself there are two long
Sits, known technically as sinks" One of
them extends the whole width of the
theater, and underneath this one on a
mighty roller nearly fifty feet long, is sec
tion OF the ocean painted on canvas and
showing in the water huge goggle-eyed fish,
sharks, sea serpents and other cheerful
looking marine animals. The other sink is
about thirty-tive feet in length and beneath
1t lies the ship, nesting in pile of faded

waves during tile storm. On each side of
this sink there are two uprights, known as
'slotes" ard used to give certain amount
of steadiness and becoming evenness to the
sinking Of the vessel On the floor to the
right of the slotes is multiplying barreP'
three wheels of different sizes fastened to-
gether and turned by crank. This ap-
paratus starts the vessel on its Inflated voy-
age. Besides these bits of mechanism there
are traps, puleys, posts, levers, chains,
ropes and monster hulLwheel. big enough

an early age the child showed fondness
for making collections of stones and speci-

should find himself irresistibly drawn to-
line of his early inclination. Naturally his
thoughts turned to California. aud in April,

THE CONSPIRACY.

During the course of the evening. from re-
marks dropped by Eddie Foy and George
Beaue, the audience becomes aware that
there is plot to sink the ship. A little
later the plot materializes and the conspira-
tors, with augur and cOal-scuttle, proceed to
bore holes in the deck for the purpose of
scuttling the noble vessel On an ordinary
craft few augur holes In the deck would
do no damage, but on burlesque bark they
DO infinite harm. AS if to aid the conspira-
tors gale begins to rise. The gale is made
by an abie-bodied boy, who maniDuates a
piece Of oiled silk and monster bellows in
the left first entrance. The bowling
wind causes heavy surf, which dashes
over the doomed craft In the shape OF hand
fuls Of salt thrown by two other energetic
boys. Then it begins to rain, and it rains
just as long as stage-hand turns sort of
churn full of beans, which stands alongside
tie wind machine. The war of the ele-
ments is at its height. Over on the prompt
side piece of sheetiron is laundering, and
near it. down long trough cannOn-balls
make more thunder roll aud crash as they
fall into a battered iron pan. Two men
with the opposite poles Of magnets In their
hands and long electric wires trailing be-
hind them. are throwing flashes OF light
ming through the clouds that have come up.
THE STORM.
The sky darkens, the actors shrek and
rush off the stage, two OF them carrying
the captain in their flight, while a
stage-hand sneaks on and off again
with a mast and an anchor under
either arm. The stage manager is now
supreme. Two Of his miniOns drag away
the bulwarkS. two others push the ships
head around, until you see her port and
starboard lights burning in the gloom some
one pulls string and the foretopmast falls
The work Of distinction is complete. Down
through the sink" the iated vessel goes,
" lille the cheese-cloth ocean dashes wildly
about in the grasp Of two bury grips"
Invisible wires have been hitched to the
painted ocean which lies beneath the other
"sink." aud as the smugglers' vessel foun-
ders, and just as its broken topmast dsap-
pears beneath the waves the canvas section Of
the deep, sea-monsterS and all, rises slowly to
the flies and diScloSes the very bottom Of
the sea, lit By a mellow light, which sits
down from above and envelopes the shat
tered aud dismantled hulk in an ethereal
halo. Sinbad appears to be the only person
in the play who Is not light enough to float.
He is discovered down among the fishes,
but CUPID oppOr;unely drives along in a
property shell, drawn by two Olemn-lo0king
seahorses with whiskers on them. and under
his supernatural guidance SInbad swms
gracefully to the surface as the curtain falls.

No SUCH PIER-W. z. S. Tombstone,
Ariz. There was not before 1886, nor is there

reference to the sea-wall, which skirts the
waterfront from Meigss Wharf to and be-
yond the Oakland ferry landing on the
south, then the answer is that the face OF
the seawall on the water side is Of rock laid
at an angle from the bed, but this facing is
not of masonry. Wharves are run out into
the bay at right angles with this wall

Moncure ID. Conway has written her I'M

suggestion that Americans leave the case
alone on the production OF the prescrip-
ton Of arsenic for Mrs. Maybrick's COM

in the face of such new evidence on vital
point, Mrs. Maybri could be held a day
longer by the home secretary.
The prescription has been found, and
certified and photographed and published
for months. Miss Hamilton says: "All
that the prescription establishes is that
