give two hours lecture lesson on ORA
matte Culture in the Athenaeum of the
Martyr School of Oratory at 10 o'clock

The Life Guard.-On Monday evening
next, at Buffers New Bijou Theater, will
witness the first production in this city of
The Lite Guard" a new American melo-
drama, In four acts, by T.. a. Locke, author
CT 'Nobodys Claim" etc. The occasion
will not only be interesting from the point
that 1t is the first performance of this piece
in this city, but will also introduce Joseph
j. Bowling and Miss Myra l.. Davis in
entirely different roles from any that
w aShingtonianS have ever seen this Ial-
tnted couple in. The scenery comprises a
fishing village on Long Island, the recep-
ton room of the fashionable Apollo Club
OF New York city, Ncon's dive on the
Bowery, and the Robins Reef lighthouse.
In the scene showing Nicolins dive an at
tempt is made to assassinate the hero by
stunning him and placing his seemingly in
q in tic old ,ixH
has been set on fire, and the manner in
which the plot is thwarted forms one of
the strongest pieces of stage realism ever
seen in this city. The supporting company
is exceptionally strong, and a good per-
Torrance may be looked for. A number of
new and original specialties will be intro
duced during the action of the piece.
The Wonderful KinetoScope.-Whe the
monograph was first discussed as q scien-
tfc possibility-indeed, after the genius
of the inventor had made 1t a mercan-
tile quantity, there was popular dis
position to regard it largely an imagl-
native affair; one of chose newspaper
stores," designed for the recreation of
the reader. but without a very solid foun-
dation of the fact Yet 1t Is here, not only
as source of amusement, but as q practi-
cal assistant In business. The photograph
had so thoroughly convinced the world of
Edison's ability to do whatever he under
took that his announcement that he would
do more than reproduce human speech was
regarded as a definite promise. When he
declared that nature-not still-lfe, but In
all Its exuberance of motion-could be
shown, the public simply waited And 1t
was not disappointed.
The kaleidoscope as II is shown in every
city OF Importance in the country, is a
source of infinite amusement to thousands
OF people daily. Its resources are practi-
cally unlimited so far the choice of
subjects for exhibition is concerned. The
machine itself is wonderfully simple.
The kaleidoscope reproduces instanta-
hnf he taly b.
of fortysiX per second and preserved
in their order in long film. Inside the
machine, neatly and compactly arranged
on rollers, are yard after yard OF the film
covered with these pictures. The specta-
tor looks into the top of the machine and
the film passes so rapidly before the eye
piece that it would, with no further appH-
ance seem only a confused blur But a
wheel, set horizontally, revolves just above
1t, so as to bring a slot between the eye
and the film every time new picture pass
les. The result is a perfect representation
of the scene as photographed.
The Columbia Photograph has the only
kaleidoscope in this city, and they have
proved almost as popular as the phono-
graphs They represent diversity of sub
jects. One shows Carmcncita dancing. The
grace and energy of the little Spanish ce-
lebrity all faithfully shown, and 1T Is
almost like seeing her upon the stage oC
a theater. Sandow in the poses which dis
play his wonderful muscular development
Is another interesting study, and n pair of
boxing cats and two women engaged in a
spirited sword contest further illustrate
the resources of the instrument.
1t Is expected that the instrument will be
so modified and improved upon as to per-
nit it's being operated anywhere and under
any ordinary conditions. When this comes
to pass 1T will undoubtedly have an impor-
tant place in the sporting world, as no
fairer or more accurate referee than the
kinetograph could be desired. Like the
monograph IT is absolutely above suspi-
pin or rio Df
