A NEW toy which has been invented
10y a Partisan is clever imitation of a
diver. The small figure, attired in COM
plete divers dress, part of which con-
ceals an India rubber ball, is attached
TO tube, the other end of which is fur
nished with second ball. When the
diver is placed in a basin of water he
sinks, but rises to the surface when the
outer ball is compressed, thus sending
the air through the tube and initiating
the hidden ball.

SoLIDFIED petroleum is among the
novel fuels now being used in France
for producing steam. This fuel is pre-
pared by a liberal use of chemicals, is
shaped in the form of bricks, and the
crudest kind of oil is used in the manu-
facture. At least eighty per cent of the
brick is crude oil At recent test
made of this new commercial product
eighty gallons of water, having nor
NAL temperature, was raised to sixty
pounds of steam in thirty-six minutes.
1t was demonstrated that the pro-
duction of steam was three times as
great with solidified petroleum as with
coal.

THE amazons of Dahomey are taught
to scorn danger and know no pain. The
military maneuvers which form part
of their discipline are any thing but
child's play. According to Maj. Ellis
these women scramble over heaps of
thorny brushwood as high as house,
when they are storming an imaginary
town, and the first bloody heroine to
reach the other side is handsomely re-
warded by the king.

SCIENTISTS have measured the thick
ness of the envelope of soapy water in
closing the air of the bubble when it
becomes so thin as to produce rainbow
tints. At the appearance of the shade
of violet it was one-fourth the thick
ness of the length of an ordinary violet
wave of light-1.6O, 600 of an inch
thus making the thickness equal to
1.240, 900 of an inch.

feet may be created by taking the stage"
that is, walking II few steps to the right OF
left or up or down stage after delivering
important lines and striking an attitude"
in accordance with the sentiment of the
speech. There is no time when grace OF
posture and movement is more agreeable
than when crossing the stage before the
curtain in acknowledgment of applause.
II man and woman are called out the

After the stage manager has attended
to all the things limited at above, at re-
hearsals his work is almost finished. If,
when the curtain is rung up on the first
performance, his "people" are ''letter per-
feet" in their lines, have been well drilled
in their "stage business" if complete ar
rangements have been made for lighting
the stage and handling the scenery, if
every property" is in place where it will
be ready to his hand when it is required
If all these things have been attended to,
the stage manager may sit down, with the
prompt book in his hand, at the prompter's
station, and ring the bell for the curtain
to be raised with the comfortable feeling
that he has done his duty, and that the
merit Of the performance beyond that mo-
ment must rest with the players. If the
performance is a success, he will get no ap-
plause. If it is failure, he will very like
ly be blamed. In any case he will proba-
bly, be tired of all things mundane and sick
of life as he piles into bed after it is all
over. DAVID w. KING.

will at once result. He should possess
some knowledge of dramatic literature
and know enough about elocution to cor
rect faulty delivery and incorrect pronun-
citation.
Above everything else, he must be firm
an autocrat behind the scenes from an
hour before the play begins until the cur
tain hides the last scene from view. From
his decision there must be no appeal. He
will sometimes be wrong, no doubt, but it
is better that one man should make a mis-
take and let it go at that than that half a
dozen should quarrel over the matter till
they get it right. All his suggestions
should be received good humoredly, even if
he speaks sharply, for he has many things
to think of and be annoyed by. On the
other hand, the stage manager should en-
force his bidding in genial spirit and
never lose his temper. Directions given
in quiet but decisive tone will always
prove more effective than loud and bolster
GUS orders.
AS a prompter, the stage manager must
have almost as thorough knowledge of the
lines of the play as the actors themselves.
AS general director of their work he
must read between the lines and form in
his mind the groups and pictures which
are to be put upon the stage. The place in
which every actor must stand while deliv
ering every line must be studied out as
carefully as the way in which the line
should be spoken. For the convenience of
stage managers and actors in this regard,
the stage was long ago divided by imagi-
nary lines as shown in the diagram.
The space outside of line r is known as
the fright of stage" Between line r and
line r G is fright of CENTER" On both
sides of line G is center of stage" Be-
tween line l. C and l. is ''left of center"

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-The vegetable mar
ket this morning was fairly active for green
stuff Asparagus was quite firm, while peas and
new potatoes, under heavy receipts, were
slightly weaker. Onions, for selected quality,
were firmer, and potatoes very dull.
The fruit market is without material change
from yesterday. The demand for strictly first
class oranges showed some improvement Sup
plies, however, were large, and were augment
ed by large receipts. Apples are in better de-
mand, but there are few offered. Strawberries
are coming in more freely. and prices are a lit
tie lower. Nine crates arrived today
Dullness prevails in the dried fruit market,
and prunes continue the only variety asked for.
The market for dairy produce was in much
the same condition as yesterday. Eggs are
scarce and quotations firm. Butter is in large
supply, and without any change in prices for
fresh roll butter. During the past few days
California creamery in tubs has received more
attention than other grades.

he must manage the club-else conflicts of
authority are certain to result-and must
act as "gas man." prompter and property
man."
The "gas mans" duties are to attend to
lighting the stage; the property man" has
charge of the hundred and one little
and big stage accessories; the prompter's
ever ready voice must help the players if
they stumble in their lines, and his hand
must ring the curtain up and down and
give the signals to the orchestra.
A man who can do all these things be-
sides keeping a watchful eye on the scenery
and the players themselves is rara avis,
but the success or failure of amateur per
formances depends largely on the presence
of such man in the club.
The actors should fully understand the
difficult position which the man who con-
sents to be their stage manager assumes,
and grant him implicit obedience, thor
ough respect and every little consideration
which is in their power. They should re-
member that his work is almost wholly
without reward other than the conscious
ness of having done difficult work we'll
he does not appear in view of the audience,
he gains no applause or appreciation from
the "front of the house." Whatever credit
he gets comes from behind the scenes, and
if he gets plenty of that it will be balm to
his soul
To the stage managers judgment must
be left the selection of plays to large ex-
tent and the distribution of parts wholly.
In casting the plays he must not show the
slightest suspicion of favoritism or discord
