It's Preparation In Modern Theaters
m Interesting Process.
The preparation for n new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned, is most
interesting 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 II the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains in miniature, flights Of steps,
and the hanglngs, 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-
Torrance 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
drawing 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

LATEST HIVES COMPLETE.

for the hives to rest on only Is used, as
a ground floor in the center is prefer
red. The objection to much longer
house on the same plan is that il is not
convenient to move, and also that bees
become more or less confused where
so many entrances are close together
and all have the same appearance.
This has always been the objection TO
bechouses, but small buildings such as
these, located around at different
places, overcome this objection.
In addition to the foregoing para

ment that they are no mans private

A BEE TALK.
Up TO Date Houses and Hives That
Are ENcrY Mans PrINileKe.


Are Every Mans Privilege.
There are many advantages in keep
Ing bees in a house. While there are
many apiarists who Use beehouses ex-
clusively, the majority do not There
are also many different kinds and va
rieties OF houses used. \ beehouse
need not be an expensive one, and al
most any kind of house will answer
the purpose None is better than an
old dwelling house. and two or more
rooms are the more convenient, provid-
ed they have an outside face OF one
end or side, or both.
Perhaps a two room house with one
partition is the best. Such a house
with two ordinary sized rooms, say IA
feet square, will give 112 feet of out
side surface, but take off II feet for
doors, etc, and the 100 feet left will
accommodate so colonies of bees by
setting the hives two feet apart from
center to center, which will give ample
working room. The entrances are cut
through to the outside and made to cor
respond to the entrance to the hives.
The hives may be set directly on the
floor, but l would prefer them set on
the usual bottom boards, nailed to
cleatS at each end, that would raise
the hive some four inches from the
floor, this for the purpose of chaff
packing in winter. Bees thus kept in
a house are very easily prepared for
winter and the extra protection thus
afforded brings them through the win
ter in prime order.
A very cheap beehouse and a very
convenient one that l have used and
which l make exclusively for bees is q
small house 10 feet long, 6 feet wide
and feet high. This building accom-
modates II colonies, and the expense
does not exceed 81 per colony. This
is no more than chaff hives will cost
for each colony outside. Floor space

When You Get Home.

When You Get Home.
An amusing experience recently be-
fell well known down town hardware
man who, resides on one of the pretty
side streets in Brooklyn.
Having arrived home from business
little earlier than usual, he found that
his wife had gone out, presumably
calling, while the children were III the
basement noisily playing. He de-
cided to improve the opportunity by do
ing some writing and quietly let him
self into the house with a latchkey. he
was soon busily engaged at his desk
in an up stairs room. Occasionally he
would arise and walk across the floor
or go into another room Tor some pur-
pose or other.
BY and by the children in the base
ment, having Quieted down in their
play, heard footsteps up stairs and,
knowing their mother to be absent and
not having seen their father enter,
promptly decided that burglars were in
the house.
In n fash they were speeding toward
a nearby police station, where they
breathlessly informed the sergeant that
burglars were surely at work at their
home.
Five sturdy bluecoats responded II
the call AT Il double quick. Arriving at
the residence of TIE hardware man. the
house was surrounded while the big
gest and bravcSt policeman in the lot
entered. He tiptoed softly up the stairs
and beheld the head of the house seat
ed at desk quietly writing.

laugh that followed can better be

STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR.
It's Overwhelming Effect Upon an
American Tourist.

It's Overwh Ginning Ehect Upon an
American Tourist.
"There is no doubt that Gibraltar is,
from the nature of its location, the
strongest fortified spot on earth" said
a receatly 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
fertilization, and one of them is that
no American can he 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 n quarter OF Il mile thick, and
such a thing as doing any damage In
a military sense would be simply non
sense Gibraltar could resist any at
tack, and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces-
sarily have to he exposed in making
its attack This exposure would have
to be 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, 1t seems
funny that there should be anything
of secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed to inspect az 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, | as

And gcttin fou and unco happy.
And then arm in arm they sauntered
