which that part of the business which

public men and events is marvellous.
len years ago worse than poor wood

ing before the reader an idea Of the
scene TRANSPORTING. As q faint motion
of the clrlnge 1t may he remarked that
ut the White House. when the final
ceremony of closing tire war with Spain
took place. no less than three leading
photographers were present. More, to
the scandal OF Minister Cambon and
his fellow officials. the whole matter
was delayed some minutes because the
men at the machines were unable to
properly adjust their screens. 1t must
not he understood that the President
actually sat with ii pen in his hand or
that CHlnb0n was held in the act of
signing 1t to let the photographer catch
UP. But, nevertheless, tile whole affair
was delayed some time in order that
the American people might see Just
what was happening.
1t is a Oln1non thing nowadays for
the Mg magazines and newspapers to
send expert photographers to Wash

Ing u series of snap shots of prominent

A ILLUSIONS
now Thunderstorm, Rain, Hail and
enow Are 1mitated.

How Thuuderot0rms, Rain, Hail and
snow Are Initiated.
A curious part Of stage illusion il
that which may be comprehended un-
der the term theatrical meteorology.
Whatever may be the state OF the
weather outside, the stage manager
within can bring about rain and hail,
wind, OF a thunderstorm at will; and
the illusion 10 SO complete as to some
times make nervous members of the
audience insensibly shudder.
Hail and rain are represented by a
closed wooden cylinder about six feet
long, which Is INSTRUCTED inside by va
rious cross pieces, a quart Of peas COM
plotting the arrangement. By turning
this cylinder first one way up and then
the other the peas rattle through it
with close imitation to the sound Of
heavy rain On q roof.
The wind arrangement consists Of q
wheel about two feet in diameter, set
in a frame like that OF q grindstone.
This wheel is furnished with ribs on its
periphery somewhat like the floats OF
a waterwheel, and drawn tightly over
the ribs Is q piece of thick silk. When
the whsel is turned the ribs rub
against the silk. and by turning the
handle hrst quickly and then slowly,
a very good imitation of the soughing
of the wind is PRODUCED.
Lightning may easily be initiated by
using chemical or electrical means, and
the usual mode of producing thunder
is by shaking a large sheet Of flexible
iron plate. Some theaters have. how
ever. . far more elaborate and effective
thunder arrangement, which is used as
an auxiliary to the sheet Of iron when
a storm is supposed to reach its height.
This consists OF a number Of cannon
balls held in n trough and allowed to
fall at the right moment, and to run
v q floor above the ceiling Of che
thsater.
A snowstorm is brought about by n
perforated revolving cylinder above the
stage, charged with paper cuttings. I'm
