NEW YoRk's CHINESE THEATER.
The Plays Are Steady. Digniied, Dramat-
ic, But Rarely Humorous.

Let US first consider the Chinese
theater. In contrast with the vaude-
vile performance of the Bowery the
aters and gardens is the Chinese play
steady, dignifed, dramatic, rarely even
humorous. Here, instead of some un-
namable social scandal being utilized
as the dramatic impulse Of their play
the national history. the greatest tic-
tions of Chinese literature, embodying
innumerable moral precepts and ex-
ampies, are the subjects for the actors
| Interpretation. The Chinese actor him
self is the very embodiment of dignity,
while the quintessence of etiquette
marks his manners. lie endeavors to
conceal rather than betray emotion.
Do the Chinese dance? Never:'
neither in China nor in America, unless
they have become so far denationalized
as to be considered foreign graft on
the western stalk, which occurs not
once in thousand cases. There is
therefore no dance upon the Chinese
stage. In all their performance, from
beginning to end, there is nowhere any
sort of a dance, from the likeness of
the minuet Of a century ago to the
latest ballet step of to-day. The Chi
nese look upon such thing as entirely
beneath the dignity of a Chinaman,
and such a performance would be re-
ceived with disgust and Kisses.
A weIl-known New York daily news
paper recently made itself ridiculous,
and lauded its own ignorance to the
skies, by referring with beautiful Sc
renity to the wickedness of the vaude-
ater. A vaudeville performance in a
Chinese theater? There is 10 such
thing. Even more than that: To a
Gilman an it would be an insupportabie
scandc! that women should appear
upon tie stare as freely IS they do
in America and Europe. Such thing
never vas known either in China or in
the Chinese theaters of America. A
woman appears only when her husband
or father is member of the company,
and then in the most ins: :rn :fcant
parts, and her identity is suppressed

in 80 cases out of 100 are taken by men,
and these are enacted with modesty
and humility which we would fain see
copied by the actresses of our stage to-
day, ay, even by some of our women
themselves. Could a little of the Chi
nese dignity, reticence and womanly
modesty be poured into the American
blood, it would be a good thing for
the American people, and an admirable
specific for the American 'girl of the
period" There is therefore no com
parison to be made, from a moral
standpoint, between the Chinese stage
and the vile, immodest and frequently
obscene performances which the white.
people of the Bowery put upon their
boards.-Helen F. Clark, in Century.

A DROP OF WATER.
Photography Reveals the Commotion' the
Seemingly Trivial Incident Causes.

Prof Worthington has been studying
"a curious phenomenon for 20 years. The
splash of drop occurs in the twinkling
OF an eye, yet it is an exquisitely regu-
lated phenomenon, and one that very
happily illustrates some of the funda-
|, mental properties of the fluid.
The problem that Prof. Worthington
has succeeded in solving is to let a drop
of definite size fall from fixed height
in comparative darkness onto surface
and TO illuminate it by a flash of ex-
|ceedingly short duration at any desired
stage, so as to exclude all the stages
previous and subsequent to those thus
selected. The many illustrations in his
volume testify to the accuracy and beau
ty of his work.
The curious results of a splash OF
drop of mercury from height of three
inches upon a smooth glass plate are
particularly interesting. Very soon
after the first minute rays are shot out
in all directions on the surface with.
marvellous regularity. From the ends
of the rays droplets of liquid split oil.
The liquid subsidies in the middle and
soon afterward flows into the ring. G.c
ring then divides in such a manner as to
join up the rays in pairs. Thereafter
the whole contracts till the liquid rises
in the center. so as to form the begin.
ming of the rebound Of the drop from the
plate. Immediately the drops at the
ends of the arms break off, while the
central mass, rises in a column, which
lust fails to break into drops.
He photographed no fewer than 80
successive stages of the splash within
the twentieth of a second, so that the
average interval between. them was
about the six-hundredth part of sec
ond. Remarkable are the splashes of
water drops falling about 16 inches into
milk, but more beautiful are the dome
forms when the height is SO inches
