The Cinematographe.- - Large audiences
were attracted to Willard Hall yesterday
by the Cinematographe Lumiere. Every
one OF the score Of wonderful living scenes
was enthusiastically applauded and encores
were demanded and granted as a rule.
Three Of the scenes are stin kept in the
program that have won the admiration OF
every one who has seen them since the en-
gagement began. These are the babies
quarrel the German Lancers. dismounting
with the simply marvellous living horses,
and the famous scene Of the French dra-
goons swimming e river. The program for
this week promises to be the most notable
so far presented in this country by the
Cinematographe. Some more new scenes
are expected today, some of them coming
direct from France. Among the new ones
Is scene showing French cuirassiers
charging upon the audience apparently,
and so realistic is 1t that 1t had to be dis
continued at New York because 1t several
times caused women in the crowded theater
to faint for fear that they might be tram
pied upon by the horses. This may seem
incredible, but 1t Is a fact nevertheless. It
Is most certainly a marvellous entertain
ment throughout.

BEDS AT SEA,
Bunks Still the Common Thing, But
the Use of Bedsteads Increasing.


the Use of Bedsteads increasing.
The common idea of bed at sea is
one made in bunk, and that is in fact
the sort of bed that is commonly used
on the water, on all sorts of craft. A
bunk takes up less room on a vessel,
where space is of great value, and the
space can be further utilized by plac-
ing one bunk above another.
There are, however, some exceptions
tc this common rule; there having long
been on some lines of travel on inland
water boats some of whose staterooms
are provided with beds on regular bed
steads, and the newest of the great ocean
passenger steamers now have each
number of rooms fitted up just asa sleep
ing room would be in fine hotel ashore,
bedstead being of course a part of
the equipment.
Until within very recent years it is
probable that no transatlantic steamer
commander had a bedstead in his room,
and there are but a very few who have
now. The captain sleeps usually upon
couch, sort of ample lounge, upon
which his bed is made, and upon which
be can take nap at other times, as
opportunity offers. On the latest great
passenger steamers a handsome brass
bedstead has been placed in the cap
tain's room. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether the captain makes much use
Of this at sea; in the crowded waters
of the North Atlantic, and in the bad
weather he is very likely to get but
Il AL, AL L
does get with his clothes on.
1t is probable that the best provided
for man afioat in respect to sleeping &C
commodations is the American ship
captain. On many American deep-wa-
ter sailing vessels of large size the cabin
is of ample dimensions, as /. may cas-
lily be with the space at command, and,
carrying few or no passengers, this
space is utilized for the benefit of the
captain and the officers. On such
ship the captains room would be room
OF ample size, and part of its equip
ment would be a regular full-sized bed
stead. The bedstead is, of course, fixed
in position so that it will not shift with
the motion of the ship at sea. 1t is
placed on the side of the room toward
the stern of the ship, and with the
head toward the stern, so that the cap
tain sleeps with his feet toward the
bow of the ship.
Such bed on sailing ship is usually
made with four high corner posts to
sustain mosquito canopy, if one should
be needed in any of the various ATTITUDES
through which the ship may pass on
her long voyages. Under the bed the
space is filled in solid with lockers, open
ing on each side like bureau drawers.
The sideboards of this bed are made
rather deep; they afford a slight degree
of protection against rolling out. but
not much. The bed is not in this re-
spect built as hunks ordinarily are, be-
ing wider, high sides are less needed;
and if the ship heeled enough to make
sides necessary to keep a man in bed.
