CHICAGO. Nov. l5.-Beginning Sunday
the Michigan Central and Lake Shore

26 hours, one hour longer than at pres

the disruptions OF the transcontinental

action is the result OF, but the Wander

light is not fit accompaniment for
such grewsome exhibition as this.
The Algerian theater is one of the
most attractive externally on the plai-
sance. The walls are white, but are
adorned in bright colOrs around the
caves and windows and doorways At
the entrance are shawls and draperies
in the gaudy tints of the east. Arabs,
in their native attire, and some
times one of the so-caled Al
gerian beauties, swathed in a
profusion of bright raiment are loung-
ing on divans under the awning which
prote is the approach to the building.
All these accessories give to the thea
ter an air of genuineness and make it's

there is just such another in the little
white Paris of Africa, Algiers.
The performance does not begin
until $50 p. IN Then the darkness
would be complete were it not for the
electric lights. The buildings lie half

light as cheerful as the daytime. AT
night people fear things which they
know never were and never will be

This fact is an aid to the purposes OF
the Algerian theater. Only two or
three lights flare in front OF

Impertinent Old BeauK.

The ladies at Long Branch, says a
correspondent, have been greatly
annoyed by number of effete beaux
who persist in parading about the
beach and staring rudely at them
while bathing. The other day one of
these old nuisances, who had oeen
persistently annoying a bathing party
by ogling them through his eyeglass,
kept up his persecution even after
they had left the water and entered
the dressing house, by walking back
ward and forward, and hemming as
though to attract the ladies' attention.
One of the girls however, had pro-
vided herself with a putty blower be-
long ing to her young brother, to be
ready for an emergency, and as the
old fool strutted past She took him
through the door, purposely left aiar,
and planted a pellet right in the an
cient donkeys eye. He started in
amazement, and involrntarily ex-
claimed, Oh at the same time clap
ping his hand to his face. A loud peal
of laugh liter from the dressing house,
accompanie / by another pellet which
hit him on the nose, sufti, iently ex-
planned the catastrophe, and the ven
cradle noodle went off crestfallen."

esity to see it.
Many people are in the little theater.
In rear balcony half dozen black
men keep up tremendous humping
on gongs, drums and tom toms. One
blows on the shrillest and loudest fife
ever brought to America. Women in
the audience keep their hands over
their ears Men shuttle their feet and
wonder when the noise is going to stop.
At last the Gu tain goes up and dis
closes narrow stage. There is a long
cushioned bench running full length

in the center of the stage is table on

covers her head.
This neg-css is not one of the
dancers. BIT she is an important
erson. She is the master of cere-
monies. She moves about the stage,
making preparations for the dance.
The f. otlights and those sewhere in
the theater are turned low. The

up lis terrific noise. The fife is

At length one of the men sitting
near the chief drops his drum and
springs to his feet. He rushes to the
dish and holds his face over IL in the
smoke He inhales the powerful mar
cotic for perhaps half a minute.
The man turns with his face to the
audience and then the dance begins.
You are surprised by the change IN his
countenance. 1t has the shape but
not the look of human being. The

any will of his own. He is like n
jumping-jack. His head whirls about
like a ball on the end of a cord. His
arms hang limp from the shoulders,
as if they hal been pinned there for
the occasion.
The beating of the drums grows
louder and fat ter, and the dancing
automaton keeps time. Either he is
entirely unconscious Of his surround
ings or he is an excellent ACTOR.
The influence of the powerful mar
cotic he has inhaled and the wild
dance apparently have stolen his
senses. The odor of the drug, not al
together unpleasant has filed the
whole tneater. Everybody is silent,

forget to make a noise while this grue-

From the fact that an astronomer
may sit in his study and, with a
micrometer, examine Photographic
plate, securing in this way an exact
ness of detail unattainablc by direct
telescope observations, it is claimed
that half the astronomical observa-
tions will henceforth be carried on
without looking at the heavens
Photographic lenses can be used in
ordinary telescopes, and, in the Dan
ish university observatory there is
said to be measuring apparatus,
upon the correction of which
two years labor has been spent,
and, in it's complete state,
gives to Denmark the fame of being
the only country which possesses an
adjusted apparatus of the highest class
for this purpose; it is in charge Of
Prof. Thiele, whose reputation for
measurements in Photographic plates
is well known in scientific circles.
Among the most interesting researchea
in this line are those by DR.. Wolf in
Heidelberg, who by means of a five
inch wide aplanat an ordinary photo
graphic glass for an astronomical telc-
scope, was enabled to discover five
new planetoids in the space of few
months, besides a great many nebulp.
The planetoids show themselves as
small streaks on the plate, and the
length of the streak represents theit
course during the time of exposure.
