place nf The Old Homestead These are all the invention of Professor !. Carl Mayrhotcr. A recent visit to the Star thea. ter under tho guidance of the professor was of great interest.
 Professor Mayrhofcr spoke to an assist ant, who stepped to a neat little box which seemed like n bookcase of ebony studded with littlc silver handles. This we call tho cclcctro-mcchanical stage regu- lat0r, said Professor Mayrhofer.
 .IVst then the assistant turned n handle, and the back drop" which had been slowly lowering into place, was gradually suffuSCd with light from above and be low, aS of sunset. It was beautiful pie turc, representing the old Suwanee river with all its quiCt tropical luxuriance.
 Now wC shall gradually merge from sunset to twilight, said Mayrhofer. There was q scarcely audible click as the professor turned quickly one of the silver handles, and, behold! the brilliant glow of sunset slowly dvcpcned from golden to rose and then to twilight, as natural and as perfect to all appearances as in nature. "ThU sun which you saw there, said Prof MayrhUtcr is faithful reproduction from n photograph, and, :" moving away from the electro rrgulator to place back of the "drop," my assistant hero controls r the sun and moon simply by slow pressure of his finger upon tLis little button," and SO 1t was, all very simple, but none the less very mysterious 10 the uninitiated.
 Returning to the electro regulator Mayrhofer called at aentiOn to the innumer- able incandcscent lamps, red, white and blue, at the sanr tinu explaining that the graduated shading effects are secured by the application of resistance to the electric current, thus preventing the sudden Jumping" of light and shade so familiar to thCatCr goCrs
 Again he souchCd silver handle and a new wonder was wrought upon the pie turo of the old Suwanee river. Twilight had dcepcnCd There was the ripple on the river, marvoluusly perfect, with n per spective in the moonlight equally perfect, the grcat trees, with their drapcry of south crn moss standing out in bold prominence along the rivers bank, whilo to complete the naturalness and beauty of the scene thCre appeared there and everywhere amid the shruhhcry of the marsh countless fire files, Hitting, sn 1t seemed, from shrub to shrub, and each shedding it's diminutive sparkle of light.
 Another drop was shown, this time the most marvellous and awe inspiring that could we'll be imagined. Its title, Tho Garden of the Gods. Colorado, Crowned With the Tempest" fairly de- scribes the picture, fur us words can. but to be fully apprcciated 1t must Do sCen.
 First you seO the sccuo as in nature 1t appears on a clear day bathcd in sunlight. Gradually the scene darkens, and little clouds, at first no larger than Il hand, gather along tho horizon. Blacker and blacker, larger and larger, grow the clouds until every portion of the landscape Is in

 Tho average individual who goes to thu theater, pays for his ticket, takes his seat in the auditorium and watches tho per formance with more or less intercs: has very little conception of tho trouble and expense to which the management is put to produce the triiling details which ht frequently notices, if at all, with a weary yawn or grudSingly given "RaGhel pretty
 In no branch of stage production has such progress been made as in the light ing. In the dim and misty past, when rush lights were used, the auditors were we'll satisfied if they could discern the forms of the players without undue straining oi the optic nerves. Later on candles and lamps were introduced, and some effort was then made to distribute the light in telliGently, but it was not until the intro duction of gas that anything like scriou: thought was expended upon this now i'm portant detail of stage production. Then the approach of night or dawn was made possible, and with the aid of calciums faiI representations of sunset, etc, were given.
 With the advent of the electric light. however, and its subsequent rapid develop mcnt, an impetus was given to stage illu, imitation which transformed the despised gas man, who was usually sort of no body, into one uf the most important per sOnagcS the other side of the curtain" Now no thcater is considered first class unless it contains a large and intricate looking switchboard, by means of keys, plugs and levers on which the electrician is enabled to regulate the lights in any part of the building. Now, too, the foot and border lights arc white, rcd and green, so that ordinary solid" atmospheric cf- fleets may be produced without the aid and expense of calciums. Then, even afteI electricity was introduced, it was impossi- ble to turn light up or down slowly. IL had to bc full on'' or full off." Now, however, by means of resistance coils, this matter is regulated with greater facility and effect than the old fashioned and out of date gas appliances.
 In The Old Homestead, " which Den man Thompson has revived at the Stan theatCr in New York city for a run, there are some marvellous electrical effects in the outdoor scCnC. These have attracted a grent deal of attention, as nothing nearly so elaborate bas ever been seen upon the stage In this country. But as remarkable as these nrc they are absolutely trivial compared with the atmospheric illusions shown in ''Songs Illustrated and Illumi mated, which Mir. Thompson gives as his regular Sunday night entertainment in
