macaroni patties. Forgetting his hun
ger, BalZac plunged into an apprecia-
ton of Cooper's Lake Ontario" new
ly appeared. GoZian noticed that the
shop attendant, an English girl, had
heard him address Balzac by name and
was gazing at the author as though
fascinated. She was astOunded pres

macaroni patties, which disappeared

STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR.
Its Overwhelming Effect Upon an
American TOuriat.

Its Overwh Ginning Eject Upon an
American Tourist.
There is no doubt that Gibraltar is,
from the nature of it's location. the
strongest fortified spot on earth," said
q recently returned tourist, but the
English officers who are on duty there
seem impressed with the idea that
there is some weak spot about the
place and that some American may
discover it. They have very nonsensi-
cal rules and regulations governing the
fortification. and one of them is that
no American can be admitted to the
fortified places, though they are al
lowed to wander all around the outside
as long as they care to.
81 do not think the combined guns of
the rest of the world. all working to-
gether and for II hours each day, Sun
days and public holidays included. for
one year. could seriously interfere with
Gibraltar beyond cutting off the mail
communication. The walls are solid
rock a quarter of mile thick. and
such thing as doing any damage in
q military sense would be simply nom
sense. Gibraltar could resist any at
tack, and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces-
sarily have to be exposed in making
its attack. This exposure would have
to he within range of the guns of the
fort. even if they are 80 years out of
date. Consequently they would be
nearly as effective as modern guns,
for with all that Is claimed for modern
warfare there probably never will be
any fighting done when the opposing
parties are out of sight of each other.
while all this is admitted by mill
tary men of all countries, it seems
funny that there should be anything
of a secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed to inspect as freely as the
people of other countries are. Eng
land may be whipped some time in the
history of the world. but the defeat
will not take place at Gibraltar. l as

SCENERY FOR A NEW PLAY
It's Preparation In Modern TheRters
an Interesting Process.

The preparation for a new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned. is most
interesting. a complete model in min
iature is made, about the size of one
of the German toy theaters seen in the
shops. The picture is carefully painted;
the rocks. if there be any, and the
foliage are cut out, and all the details
are followed with no less thought than
when the real affair is attacked.
The work is done in water color,
mounted on pasteboard, and If the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains in miniature. flights of steps,
and the hangings. all seriously worked
out. 1t is something that would de-
light the heart of boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
is produced. and are then put away
on shelves. alas! only to warp and be-
come covered with dust.
But the master painters work does
not end here by any means, for there
are lights to be arranged, since they
play an important part in the per-
fOrmance and must be regulated by
the scheme of color; so there are long
conferences with electricians and many
discussions with the makers of glass
shades whereby the exact tints may be
obtained.
When every detail has been settled,
then the great acres of canvas are
spread on the paint frames, and the
dra awing is begun. Large china pots
are used for the colors. These are filled
with paints, which are mixed with
water and size, and enormous
brushes put the pigment on the can
vas 1t is wonderful to watch the
artist. who dashes on the paint with
no apparent care and who has to work
fast to cover the surface before the
color dries, which it does quickly

A WOMAN'S VETO.
why a Certain Naval Appointment
Was Never Confirmed.


An incident which occurred during

Illustrates the good feeling existing be-
tween the newspaper men and the
chief of the bureau of naval construc
ton. a certain correspondent, who
was on particularly Intimate terms
with the chief, called at his Office and
was received with unusual cordiality.

name. the chief said: Look here,

in this department, after being fought
through two congresses, has prevailed,
has been signed by Secretary Whitney

president will take, and | think you
know a way to prevent the document
being signed"
The correspondent replied. 81 think 1
know a way" He left the building and
went for Miss -, who was at that
time doing Washington society for
the Associated Press. To her he told
the story and explained what he
wanted done.
Miss obtained an audience with
Mrs Cleveland and told what she
came for. Mrs. Cleveland went to the
presidents desk and singled out a
paper with the remark. There l guess
that is the one you mean" She then
turned a corner of the document down
and left it.
In the course of his work the presi-
dent came to the paper and then, in a
surprised tone, said to Secretary La
mont. Dan, do you know anything
about this appointment
Mr. Lamont did not know anything
about it.
