FITZ AND WEBsTER,s COMPANY.
A company OF exceedingly clever
performers will appear in the produc-
ton OF "A Breezy Time" at the Attn
enelm on Oct 3. The piece is a farce
comedy, but it is said that it is a little
more connected than are most pieces
OF its kind. The plot is not so intri-
cate, however, that lit calls for mi
great mental activity to follow 1t. 1t
is put together simply for the purpose
OF giving the comedians am opportunity
to exhibit themselves in. the various
speciality performances. The piece is
separated into three acts, and these
acts # full of action rather than dia-
logue. New scenery and costumes
have been made for "a Breezy Time
this season, and it has been the aim Of
the management to engage the young
and rising members of the profession,
rather than old timers who have worn
out their welcome. u d..

them the following: The device which
I most frequently use in land measur-
ing is shown In the first cut. 1t re-
quires two pieces Of light pine about
~ by 2 inches and seven feet long.
Lay them down on an even surface In
a position corresponding to the form of
the letter v, with the spread ends just
8 feet 3 inches apart Now mark with
o pencil at the ends where they come
together and, referring to these marks,
make a bevel, o. SO called inter, in
each, as shown by A. Fit the pieces
together again and make a small hole
In both, through which place a bolt to
hold the pieces In the position shown
by B. For convenience use a long
threaded BOLT with q thumb nut. This
completes the measure.
Its S is very simple. The operator
steps or swings it along, two steps
making, when the pieces are set cor
rect distances apart, 1917 feet. or one.
rod, bearing in mind that the first step
made when starting at corner of field
Is equal to two steps, or a rod, as the
measure, when set up with. n point
at edge Of field and the other 81 feet
from the edge. has already made the
first step, and therefore when the op.
he auses it to make the second step.
II desired, the measure can be made of
pieces about five feet long and with
the points 81 feet apart Then three
steps are necessary to make a rod.
When finished using the measure,
loosen the thumb nut Of bolt and swing
the uprights together, as shown by G,
when it will occupy a small space for
transporting from place to place or
storing away. If well made and paint
ed, it will present a neat appearance
and last a lifetime.
The measuring wheel shown in the
second cut requires a little longer to
make, but it is the most rapid when in
use. Selecting an old wooden hub from
the. wheel of a toy wagon, fill it with
light spokes about 31h inches long, ac-
cording to size Of hub, SO as to make a
wheel 81 feet in diameter. Put on a
tire of light hoop iron, fastening it.with
a small nail to each spoke. Hang the
wheel. with a pin or bolt for axle, be-
tween two light strips three-quarters by.
two inches and four feet long: Between
the strips, close to rim of wheel, place
q block to nail strips to and hold firm,
and at the end of frame put a cross:
piece or handle to hold by. The wheel
has a circumference of 1871 feet, and
each revolution makes one rod. Color
one spoke to count by; or, better still,
put a nail OF. small peg in the spoke,
and on the block in the frame fasten a
thin wooden Or steel strip to catch the
nail or peg at each revolution, and
make a sharp clicking sound, as illus
trated in diagram B. : p. 49,
