A Twenty-third street theater has
brought out an electrical sunrise. A
curved screen, part of which is made of
gauze, so that the light may shine
through, extends around the stage, and
behind it is an elaborate system of in
candescent lamps. The controlling ap-
paratus is so graduated that fifty differ
emit degrees of light and shade can be
produced. thus causing the sunrise to
grow imperceptibly. Another use Of
the electric current made at the same
place is in representing the explosion OF
a bomb.
A paper shell contains just enough
powder to explode and make a flash.
This is fired by electricity, while at the
same moment another circuit controlled
by the same key sets off a gun behind
the scenes, which furnishes the neces
sary noise.-New York World.

How the cobra Gives wanting.

The most dangerous reptiles Of India
and Africa are the cobras. No snakes,
not even rattlesnakes, are more dreaded,
and with reason. As the rattlesnake
warns the ear by its significant rattle"
SO the cobras warn the eye by the mode
in which they expand the upper part of
the body when irritated. This expan-
sion is produced by sudden movement
of the ribs of that region of the body.
Usually they incline backward. but the
animal, when irritated, makes them
stand out at right angles to the body,
and so. of course, forces outward the
skin which covers them. Thus the neck
or part just behind the head. becomes
greatly expanded and fiattened, as it
also does, though in less degree, in the
Australian blacksnake. This expansion
is called hood, and SO the animals are
called hooded snakes. In some of them
there is on the back of the hood dark
mark, something like pair of spec
tacles, and they have therefore been
called spectacle snakes.-Quarterly Re-

A gentleman well known about town
adopted the bright son of his deceased
brother some time ago. and has brought
the nephew up as member of his own
family. The little fellow is but years
old. He dearly loves his uncle and aunt.
The former is rather gruff naturally, but
he is kind hearted and he thinks great
deal of the boy. who does not appear to
mind his gruffness Recently his aunt
started in to read him Little Lord
Fauntleroy." He grew deeply interested
in the fascinating story and followed the
trials and troubles of the little lord very
closely. His aunt dwelt upon the chap
tiers depicting the cruelty of the crusty
old earl, but the boy did not seem to mind
this at all. He seemed to know that
Fauntleroy would come out all right in
the end. ''Don't you think that the earl
was a mean old fellow" asked his aunt
one day as she finished a chapter. "Oh,
l don't know" replied the boy. 81 think
Icould stand him stood Uncle George"
The story was finished without further

How Hawthorne Wrote.

We never think of local color in con-
nection with Hawthorne. Apparently
he didn't need to put it on. Perhaps he
would not have understood about it.
He might have thought that the coun-
terpart of the literary term local color
applied socially would refer to the
women who paint, the term has such an
artificial sound. One has an idea of a
colored photograph; the local color is
not a part of the substance, but is i'm
posed. Hawthorne was not conscious of
any necessity of giving local color to his
creations. He wrote of that into which
he was born, and his creations, even
when they were in foreign settings,
glowed with that internal personality
which is never counterfeited by veneer
ing.-Charles Dudley Warner in Har-

of which is said to be upon a tombstone

Philadelphia Pretzels.

Philadelphia pretzels are thing by
themselves; that is. the genuine Phila-
delphia pretzel is, but INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers have been making imi-
tations with machinery which have
served to lessen the high standard raised
by the reputation of the homemade
pretzel. The pretzei came over with
the Dutch, and it is still found in its
original purity in Lancaster and Berks
counties, the inhabitants of which have
been so many generations in this coun-
try that they are unable to speak their
mother tongue. They have not been
here long enough to learn English, SO
they make their pretzels as they were
taught, and talk the language which
they have manufactured.-New York

search Lights versus AOrpedO bOates
1t is stated that one of the most effect
i've means of protecting ship in these
days of torpedoes (the grouping to-
gether of plumber of stationary search
lights, each Illuminating its own section
SO that the ship is surrounded by an I'M
broken circle of light). is to be adopted
in the new American warships. This
has been suggested by a very pronounced
defect in the usual search light practice.
In order to afford sufficient time for a
careful examination of the waters sur
face at points removed from the ship,
the beam of light must be revolved very
slowly, and hence during great por-
ton of the time any particular section
of the water is left in darkness. As il
takes only five minutes for a torpedo
boat to run distance of two miles, il
will be seen that the conditions are all
in favor of the attacking force. Before
the revolution of the search light is com.
pleted there is plenty of time for the tor.
pedo boat to run up and discharge hel
deadly weapons.-N York Telegram

Medicine lake is wonder that draws
many visitors annually-a body of water
that does not contain living thing, and
at certain hours of the day is full of
gelatinous, spongelike substance that
sinks and leaves the water clear. At

obsidian, the other of pumice stone in
layers. Potter Four Corners.

soansuds Are Valuable.

Few persons know how very useful
soapsuds prove when employed as ma
nure. Applied to the roots of vines,
fruit trees, roses, ETC., they impart a
vigor and rapidity of growth which is
perfectly surprising. No one who is SO
lucky as to have garden should waste
this valuable form of manure. 1t is an
excellent plan to have large tub, and
put the soapsuds and dirty water into it
till required upon the garden.-Phils-

The Englishman imagines that revolu-

must be conducted with set teeth and

Latin races. To them revolutions are

man feels disgraced at the idea of recur-
rent revolution. Not so Frenchman or
