mistaken identity does not figure in it
at all.
Wilmer and Vincent are good men to

Of the players, Cyril Scott was ex-

Thorndyke. He was at the time if his
connection with the Empire theatre

nile light comedian in this country

to farce. George Osbourne gave a per-

Indeed, it is one Of the best bits of low
character work seen on the New York
stage during the past decade. AS the

ed by less careful work. Mr.. Os-
bournes achievement is all the more
notable.
Despite what may be said by friendly
critics, the impression prevails about
the Rialto that Francis Wilson's latest
operate offering, "Cyrano de Berger
ac," is anything but a bowling sue
cess. This very unusual condition Of
affairs has been brought about, it is al
legged, by Mr.. Wilson's conviction that
he is equal to the legitimate require
ments of the role without the necessity
of burlesquing it. He is reported TO
have speedily become convinced of the
error of his opinion, and ever since the
first night he has been going over the
piece with a well known librettist with
a view to injecting as much broad COM
edy as possible into it. This was the
sensible course to follow. Even though
Mr.. Wilson were able to play the title
role of "Cyrano de Bergerac'' straight,
which he most emphatfcally is not able
to do, it would be folly to try it. The
public goes to see and hear Wilson be-
cause he is funny, or at any rate is so
regarded by those who pay admission
to his entertainments. There is no de
sire to see him do the serious, as when
that is wanted there are actors like
Richard Mansfield concerning whose
ability in that direction there can be
no question.

1t is an incomprehensible thing, this
desire of the comedian to appear in
serious roles and the confidence of the
tragedian in his ability to make the
best funny man in the profession look
like an amateur. 1t is merely an ex-
emplifcation of the perversity of hui

is that 1.-The Gadfy" has been with

De Wolf Hopper has also had his lit
tie lesson, and he has taken it well to
heart. Last year, when The Charla-
tan" was produced, Hopper's friends
were shocked to find how very 'legiti-
mate (for Hopper )the protean role
was. The piece, if not exactly frost,
was not an unqualified success, and
Hopper Immediately returned to his old
methods, having the piece made as
broad as possible as preliminary.
Then he succeeded.
He has evidently not forgotten that
rather expensive experience. When he
went to London, some months ago, he
put "El Captain" on, leaving THE
Charlatan" severely alone. He made a
moderate hit, which grew greater as
the Britishers became familiar with his
peculiar brand OF humor. He secured

On September %, 1851, most Solemn

Fertile E9ga.

When a hen steals her nest and is
allowed to sit, the result is usually a
large hatch. When hens have been fed
carefully and have produced eggs for
a long time, it is folly to expect good
results from setting such eggs. Nature
causes the female to become "broody"
when fer nest is full of eggs; therefore,
the first twelve or twenty eggs laid are
strongly fertile, and will produce heal
thy chicks. The result is less salts
factory as the number of eggs increases.
l have experienced this, and do not
breed from my layers.
The best results are obtained by mat
ing two or tnree-year-old females with
yearling birds, keeping such fowls back
until you wish to mate. Breeding Fowls
can be allowed to run at large or mated
with one male; partial confinement
with more than one male will lead to
trouble and lack of fertility.
Do not blame your incubator or the
place where you set your hens; the
trouble can be further of.
Eggs that do not test strongly fer
tile at the end of seven days, will not
give a big hatch or healthy chicks.

taught me that tle key to the situa-.
tion lies in the caption of this short

The new field photography is being
diligently explored. The pioneer was
Colson. who three or four years ago
found that heat with little moisture
darkened sensitive plate like light;
and later that the air near certain
bright metals had the same effect.
In the latter case he supposed
the action 10 be due to metallic
vapors. Russell discovered these
effects Independently, and a few
months ago showed that peroxide of
hydrogen is the active agent. He
found that ozone does not effect the
film, this fact giving means of dis
tinguishing between peroxide of
hydrogen and ozone. Mr.J. Fl. Vim
cent, of Cambridge, England, has
now proven that ozone causes certain
inactive substances to become active,
rubber, gutta percha and camphor
being thus made to affect the plate
and that, as with the Russell photo
graphs, the active agent passes
through paper, gelatine. etc., hut not
through metals, glass and quartz.
Camphor ozonized for ten minutes
gave a good picture with an exposure
of quarter of an hour. Russells ex-

Articles of plaster OF Paris are
easily hardened, according to pat
ented German process, by treatment
with solution prepared by dissolv-
ing boracic acid in warm water and
neutralizing with ammonia. This
solution may be mixed with the plas-
ter in molding or may be applied
with brush to the finished cast, and
the surface of the object treated be-
comes hard and insoluable in two
days, the induration gradually in
tending to the interior. The life of
plaster casts is greatly prolonged.
The application of the ammonium
borate solution makes gypsum floors
durable and weather-proof, and it is
especially recommended for the walls
of buildings, barracks, etc., on ac-
count of it's antiseptic action.

Great telescopes are very costly
while their use requires more favor
able atmospheric conditions than the
smaller instruments, and their gifts
have been greatly exaggerated in the
minds of many. Prof. G. E. Hale
shows however that the large glass
has an important mission to perform.
1t has advantages over the smaller
lens of giving much brighter star
images and thus making visible
fainter stars, of giving at its focus a
more highly magnified image, and of
separating closer double stars and
more minute markings on planet or
satellite. 1t has made possible such
discoveries as the fifth satellite of
Jupiter and the two satellites of Mars.
Its most important work is in astro-
physical research, and in gathering
as much light as possible into a
single point, as spectroseopic observa-
ton requires, the large glass is essen
tial.

Through tests made by the German
Government during period of two
years indicate that the corrosion OF
any metal or alloy in sea water is
largely determined by the electrical
relati.n of other metals in contact
with it. Pure aluminium bronze, for
instance, was practically proof against
corrosion by ses-water when in con-
tact with metal electromagnetic to it,
but was quickly destroyed while in
contact with electro positive metals.
Only those metals near together in the
electrical scale therefore should be
used in contact in shipbuiding. Iron
bronze was practically unaffected by
an exposure Of two years to sea water
but the action on alloys containing
much zinc was considerable. Iron,
tin aud aluminium bronzes in contact
with tin, bronze lost two-thirds of its
strength, being partially destroyed by
the dissolving out of the zinc; and
wrought iron bronze in contact with
cast iron bronze was similarly affected

of its strength in two years.
