ODD as it may seem, the fact is patent
that bicycles are fast becoming popu-
lar necessity on yachts and excursion
tesamers, particularly those making
winter trips in southern waters. The
yachtsm an finds wheel of the greatest
convenience and most enjoyable as
we'll as popular way Of exercising and
travelling about when ashore. If all the
steamers that make southern winter
trips from New York were to keep a
number of bicycles on board, there is
hardly doubt that these wheels would
pay for themselves in short time.
When touc hing at the various ports, it
would not only give the passenger a
chance to go ashore and get rid of his
sea legs, but afford him the quickest,
cheapest and easiest way of seeing the
sights and getting a constitutional at the
same time. In these days, when every
body rides bicycle, it would do the
tourists hearts good to have chance for
spin over the roads Of foreign coun-
try.

AN interesting experiment is now in
progress in South Kensington museum.
1t relates to showing pictures under ar
tifcial light without changing the color.
Captain Abney has so arranged it that
the most important actinic rays of light
are excluded. 1t is on the princir lie that
while the rays which cause the painting
to fade are excluded the effect of white
light is obtained. The method adopted
Is the closing of skylight with alter
nate layers of green, blue and yellow
glass. Visiting artists declare that the
pictures exhibited under this light are
seen in their true colors. The public
has not the least idea that there Is any
difference between the lighting of this
and that of any other gallery. The ex
pertinent is being tried in what is known
as the Raphael cartoon gallery.

The trade in sponges and pineapples
seems to be still the most profitable in
which the residents of the colony Of the
Bahamas engage, but the sponge in.
dustry is the life of the colony. Several
hundred vessels are engaged in the work,
and last year 100000 pounds weight
of sponges, valued at $3.50, 900, was ex-
ported. Next in Importance comes the
trade in plneapples, the export of which
reached 1927, 500. There is afactory in
the colony for preserving fruit, and last
year 20, 900 cases of pinearples were can
ned, using 10000 dozens Of the fruit,
which cost 90 cents per dozen.

DR.. FINsEN, of Copenhagen, says that
the skin Of a smallpox patient is as sus-
ceptible to the influence of daylight as a
Photographic plate, and must be kept
from the chemical rays in the same way
and almost as carefully. Other expert
ments have also shown that light of
short wave-length, such as blue, is Ca
pable of increasing the inflammation in
smallpox. To prevent suppuration of
the patients skin, DR.. Finsen recon-
mends that the windows be covered
with several layers of thick curtains, or
with glass of deep red color. Faint,
eandle-light may be used in the room,
when needed, without harm.

son, when an electric arc light bisses,
the carbon, melted from one of the rods,
is actually boiling in the little crater
formed in the end of the rod. The
superheated liquid, with binding
flashes of lis hit, moves and jumps about
very much as water does on beginning
to boil.

On the eastern coast of Australia,
no-th of Sydney and principally be-
tween the Clarence and Tweed rivers,
gold in paying quantity is found in the
sands of the beach. The people who
gather it are called "beach- miners, :"
and it is said they make comfortable
living. Occasionally, like all gold'seek-
ers, some of them have 'streak Of
luck" After a great storm the gold on
the beach is more plentiful, and the
search is prosecuted with eager indus
try. Extraordinarily low tides also offer
unusual opportunities to the beach

miners, who are then able to scoop out
the black, gold-bearing sand from crew
ices in the rocks which are ordinarily
submerged. AS much as $4,000 worth
of gold for each man is said to have
been collected by one party of miners in
the course of few months.

YOrk-GeneraI Gossip of the
Stage.

There are few trades and profess
sions in which only two or three men
become proficient even in the largest
communities; such, for example, as the
finders of New York, who got. hot from
the press, the Morning Herald and
after searching its Lost and Found"
columns, set about a deliberate search
ahead of all the world for the articles
advertised. The calling of the pro-
fessional magician is likewise an odd
one. Few human beings dare to pro-
claim through the public press that
they are capable of amazing and be-
Witching, puzzling and perplexing
their fellow men, on brilliantly light
ed stage, and that, too, amid scenes
decidedly more familiar to the audi
ence than TO the performer. Reckon
upon the fingers of one hand the magi-
clans now before the American public
bold enough to describe themselves as
such, and are there not fingers left 4?
Furthermore, it would seem natural
that when there are so few in the
trade, it ought to be easy for each
TO excel along widely differing yet orig
in2l lines. Whether this be SO or not
let the readers of the daily newspa-
pers determine for themselves.
If Kellar. for example, brings out
some startling novelty as the result of
years of original investigation made

not conducive to the inculcation of

actress who hopes to rise beyond medi-

to her. Her success was marked and

Daniel Frohman at the Lyceum will

members of which draw salary for

Mr.. Frohman will engage actors for the

contracts, will be the nucleus of this
new idea but the adored Kelley is not
among them and James K. Hackett is.
1t is reported that Kelley will star, but
now that he can really act, and is no

an attraction. Henry Miller, of the En-

| ment is the fact that Chevalier actually
loses money by it, for his earnings in
England now aggregate nearly $4,000 a
week. He has outgrown the limitations
of music halls, and his appearance in
the popular London resorts are now
much less frequent than before his
three-year syndicate contract expired.
His recitals in London, Liverpool and
all the great provincial towns are al
ways given in the largest auditoriums.
and he always plays to their capacity.
AS Chevalier's concert company usually

Then, again, the royalties from the

Chevalier has become a wealthy man
