A SNAKE OF BEAUTY.

The Monster In cali Baba" Composed of
the Forms of Fairies.
There are, indeed, tricks in all trades,
and as theatrical business has become
more or less of trade, it follows that
1t has its tricks. In "AI Baba,n the
summer spectacle now running at the
Chicago opera house, there appears at
given hour something which makes a
man who has been drinking feel queer,
while the prohibition contingent looks
at it with horror and then with delight.
This is the snake, or, as it is billed, the
dragon, and is forty feet long. 1t is a
very ingenious affair and was made in
Paris by M. Ganet, the master of prop
critics Of the Chatelet theater. The
body Of the reptile is nothing more nor
less than twenty young women who
travel on all tours and who, at the right
moment and a given signal, jump up
and reveal themselves as diaboIical
wood sprites- They are clad in gray
tights and green bodices and on their
heads are little horned skull-caps. The
article of attire which gives to each the
appearance OF a portion of the serpent's
body, and which when the twenty girls
creep along in follow-the-leader fashion
makes wrigging, creeping snake of
monstrous size, is nothing more nor
less than satin lined cloak of canvas
which is roughly painted and mottled in
green, yellow and white to represent
the scales and figures OF a reptiles
hide The awe-inspiring bird-lil1e head
with rolling, CHASTITY eyeballs and croc-
sharp teeth is the most ingenious part
of the affair. 1t is made of papier-
mache and wicker work, light enough
for boy to carry, and with clever de-
vices inside to move the jaws and eyes-
The eyes are sunk on a pivot and
worked by means Of a spiral spring.
The huge jaws are hinged. and stout
lever inside. with the aid of a little
muscle, makes them snap and vswn
most ferociously. Each nostril is shaped
like the crater of a volcano. and the
aperture from which the molten lava
would come is replaced by little alco-
hol lamp. the faint blue flame Of which
cannot be seen from beyond the foot
lights Over each Of these lamps the
fan-shaped mouth of long tube comes.
About six inches from the lamp and
connected with the tube Is receptacle
for lycopodium- When the boy who
manipulates the apparatus eonclpdes
that it is proper for the dragon 20 make
an imposing display Of its ferocity, he
blows through the tube, the powdered
club-noss seed is scattered over the al
cohol fame, and makes q ghastly BLUSH

selected as arbitrator for two reasons,
first, because it was proper that one
democrat should be chosen. and,
secondly, because he was thought to be
the man best fitted by ability, habit
and knowledge of the Behring sea con-
troversy for the difficult and delicate
duties of the post
Justice Harlan was selected for much
the same reason as applied in the case
Of Senator Morgan. He is lawyer
who has made speciality of interna-
tional law, and as he is a friend Of
many years standing of both the presi-
dent and Secretary Blaine, his name
was decided upon without consultation
with him and without the exertion Of
outside influence in his behalf.
Justice Harlan has been a hard
worker during all the years that he has
been on the supreme court bench. and,
being without any income whatever,
except his annual salary, has been I'M
able to enjoy the benefits of travel as
he would like to do. The president and
Mr.. Blaine, therefore, were very glad Of
the opportunity to confer upon him an
appointment that would be an honor to
him IS a public man, and would afford
some creature comforts as we'll It is
said that when the question of making
the appointments first arose. the presi-
dent expressed desire TO have one Of
the supreme court justices chosen, and
the selection of Justice Harlan instead
OF one of his eight colleagues possesses
no significance beyond the fact that he
was stanch republican and personally
friendly with the president He pos
sessed all the qualifications necessary
for representative of the government
in such a distinguished commission, and
il was known that the opportunity TO
60 abroad as the representative Of his
government would be very grateful TO
him Since the appointment of Justice
Harlan and Senator Morgan, the presi-
dent has been very much gratified By
the many assurances that have come to
him that these gentlemen viii do honor

SENATOR JOHN 7. MORGAN, OF ALBANIA.
States in the waters of Behring sea, has
met with almost universal approval,
says the New York Sun.
There is no higher democratic author
ity on the subject of international law
and no more honorable and fair-minded
man in public and private life than Sem
ator Morgan. He is lawyer by pro-
fession, and has been a member of the
senate for fifteen years, during that
time rendering long service as men,
Der of the committee on foreign rela-
tons. He is now. as he has been for
many years, the leader Of the minority
in that important committee. Although
one Of the much-tall1ed-of confeder~
ate brigadiers of congress, Sena-
tor Morgan knows no politics when
an international or non-partisan sub
ject is before the senate for
discussion, and on several occasions he
has sustained the administration, re-
CARELESS of whether it was democratic
or republican, and has often been found
in hearty accord with Senator Sher-
man, the chairman, and the other re-
publican members of the committee on
foreign relations. Mr.. Morgan is re-
puted to be one of the most lucid and
able lawyers in the south. He is a
close and constant student, a man Of
the simplest habits, who spends his
nights in studying up the questions
that arise in the senate and his days in
the senate chamber, where he is al
ways found ready to act as the spokes-
man of his party. His public speeches
are logical and eloquent, and it is no
task for the Alabama senator to ad-
dress the senate for two or three days
at time, when he considers the sub
ject Of sufficient Importance. 1t is said
att the state department and at the
white house that Mr.. Morgan was
