THEArERs IN VARIOUS LANDS.
More Amusement Places in Italy Than
Elsewhere in Proportion.


More Amusement Places in Italy Than
Elsewhere in Proportion.
From the New York Sun: The pop
ulation of italy is S,o00,o00 less than
the population of France, but Italy has
more theaters than France and twice
as many as Great Britain, though the
population of Great Britain is fully g.
100000 larger than that of Italy. These
figures, recently compiled, REINFORCE
the claim long made by Italian man
ayers that there are more theaters in
proportion to its population in Italy
than elsewhere in the world. There
are, counting halls and opera houses as
theaters, 1000 places of amusement, ap-
proximately, in the United States. In
Italy there are 44S, in France 437, Ger
many 800, Great Britain, S52, and in
Spain 30.
One explanation which has been Of
fered for the very large number of the
sters in Italy is that many of them
are small affairs and unworthy of rec
ognition as theaters. This view Of the
case, however, is inaccurate, as, in re-
spect to the seating capacity, Italian
theaters are rather larger than smaller
than those of other countries. The
Carlo Felice in Genoa seats $500, the
San Carlo in Naples 1900, and La Sea-
Ia, now no longer used for theatrical
performances, in Milan, 2,100. The
size of these theaters can be seen when
compared with some New York houses,
the average seating capacity of which
is $500. The Garden, Garrick, Hoyt's,
the Lyceum and the Empire, all we'll
known houses, have less than 1900
seating capacity each. A more plaus-
ible and more satisfactory explanation
of the large number of theaters in Italy
is to be found in the fact that the cul-
tivation and appreciation of music are
perhaps more general in Italy than in
any other country and many of the
playhouses, therefore, are devoted not
to theatrical but to musical entertain
ments. What are called concert halls
in the United States or England are
theaters in Italy, and the gardens,
which prevail so largely in Germany
and in which the popular taste for mu-
sic is in part supplied, are not to be
found in Italy to any similar extent.
The number of small towns in Italy of
what would be called in this country
the second class is considerable. With
total population in excess of 3O,O0O,-
600 Italy has no large city having as
much population as Baltimore, and,
unlike England and France, the polit-
ical capital of the country is neither the
largest city nor the artistic capital Of
it. Popular amusement in the small
towns is furnished at minor theaters,
and the number of these is so great as
to put Italy at the head of all countries
in this particular.

An Astonishing Production About the
Carnival at Nice.
"There is certainly no visitor in the
mass of them," says an astonishing
production called Historical Of the
Carnival of Nice" quoted by st. James
Gazette, (which does not know that
the carnival exists since the highest
antiquity. The Egyptians celebrate
the Boeuf Apis, who was with great
honor showed in Thebes, the people
being gorged with wine and hydromel,
dancing all around him, playing the
flutes and cymbals. In our days still
we see the Boeuf gras Apis walked pro-
cessionely round the streets of Paris,
set up with flowers and striking
dresses; just like the one in the time
of the PhaToans. Later on the antique
Greek the Bacchus, god of wine, fes-
Invites, was celebrated by the people
with all the pleasure of the time, and
the priesterses' disorded jumping the
head crowned with pampfre and ivy,
singing and dancing. The Romans
witch civilization was much like the
Greec's and the Greco Bacchanales be-
came at Rome the Saturnales. These
festivities were given under the pre-
tense of celebrating the primordial
equality of the people; and these fes-
tivities brought to the most disordered
licenses, where our modern carnival is
not to be compared to-" It appears
that other towns, like Bale, Rome and
Venice, have given up these fascinating
habits, "and even much fallen down;
and now there is only to consider the
Nice Carnival the Queen of all pleas

offered prizes in cash, and this limo

that year after year" the thing went
on in increasing splendor FINALLY the
Nice Municipal Council gave a Solid
Push to do and to obtain better than

FORMATION Of Gold Nuggets.

Concerning tho theory that gold
nuggets are formed by the depositing
of the gold around a nucleus from So
luton, Professor A. Liversidge, the
gold expert of New South Wales, Aus
tralia, has made Investigations which
he thinks disprove it. BY slicing the
nugget and examining the cross-seo-
lions obtained he found no traces OF
concentric coatings, but that the gold
was always more or less crystallized
the crystals being in some cases very
large and with well-de1ned bound
aries. Some of the nuggets also showed
cavities and Enclosures of quartz, al
though in many cases none we're vts-

In order fully to test the relative
merits Of broad and narrow tires, an
agricultural college in Missouri has been
making some experiments with the
two. It has been demonstrated that ON
Reasonably good roads broad tires have
an advantage of from 16 to 46 per cent
over narrow tires. In no case except
where the mud was soft and very deep
did the narrow tires prove more salts
