The Salaries of Dramatic Artists.

week. Yvette Guilbert receives, under
her present contract, S700O a week, and
Calve earns s, geo for each of her appear
ances. Olga Nethersole earns $3.50 a
week. What with his salary and per-
centage OF the receipts, John Drew makes
in good times $500 week. A competent
leading man or woman like Henry Miller
or Herbert Kelley, Viola Allen or Isabel
Irving, can be had for 800 week. The

Edwin Booth, who knew nothing about
the value of money, once engaged the
Polish actress at a salary of $500 a
week.
Mr.. Grau's contract with Guilbert lasts
only two weeks, after which she returns
to the cheap prices of Paris. Calve' s
contract lasts five months, but during
thai time she sings only twice or three
times a week, after which she returns
to the moderate salaries Of Europe. Mel

THE NEW PHOTOGRAPHY.
Photographic Through Opaque
Bodies with an Ordinary Light.

From the New York Sun.
London, Feb. 1.-Rapid strides are made
almost daily in the development of the
new photography. This week it has been
used successfully to detect and locate
gall stones in a patients liver and stone
in the bladder.
1t was announced in the French Acad-
envy of Sciences on Wednesday that it
would be possible to photograph through
so-called Opaque bodies with ordinary
light. A kerosene lamp will do it. NJ
Lebon asserts that he has taken photo
graphs in this manner for several years.
He proceeds a follows:
Inside a box with rather thin sides he
places a senSitized plate. Behind the
negative in front of the box he places
an iron plate, and on the other side of the
plate a lamp. After three hours ex-
posture an image is found. On develop
ment, this image is indistinct, but if a
sheet OF lead be placed behind the box and
rolled over to touch the iron plate so
as to form a metallic SHE'LL the repro
duction of the negative for the same
length of exposure is quite distinct. This
experiment cannot be accounted for on
existing theories.
NJ. Lebon has ascertained that the i'm
age is not due to any phosphoFescent
light which might have been stored up
in the negative. The experiment will not
succeed If heat rays only are used.
