When many of Hoyt's amusing farce
comedies are forgotten, his laughable
satire on a stranger life in New
York city, entitled "A Stranger in New
York" which comes to the Auditorium
this Thursday night, will continue to
delight theatregoers. 1t is one of the
best efforts of the popular playwright,
and these who see "A Stranger in New
York" once always want to see it again
The humor of the piece is of such a
broad character that it is no exagger-
ablon to say that it is one continuous
laugh from beginning to end. The

best ever seen in the play and in

LIghtlng UP tho Sea.

The value of a means of lighting up
the sea at night is amply demonstrated
by the Importance now attached to the
searchlight. There are, however,
many conditions, particularly in mer-
chant marine, life-saving corps and
navy operations, under which an in
dependent and more flexible method
of illumination is desirable. Such a
method is said to have been provided
in q new shell, in the shape of an or
dlnary proiectile, which may be thrown
from gun in the direction of the
enemy, or dropped over the side of n
ship by hand. as the occasion may re-
quire. 1t is buoyant, and on striking
the water it becomes an Illuminating
plant Of itself, shedding a powerful
light over a considerable radius.
1t consists Of hollow cylinder,
made from drawn.steel tubing, in
sizes from three to six inches or more
in diameter, and from three to fy9
feet in length, according to the pur-
pose for which it is to be used. The
she'll is charged with calcium carbide.
which generates acetylene gas as it
comes in contact with water. At the
top of the shell, which shows aquarter
of its length out of the water, are the
burners, to which the gas rises as it is
disengaged, aud is lighted by an cleo
trio spark generated by a battery
within shell. The shell can he made
ready for firing from a gun or throw
ing loverboard in less than thirty
seconds. The water is admitted to the
calcium carbide tube. IL the she'll is
submerged it instantly rises like can
buoy, rights itself, and shines out with
the strength and brightness of bea-
con light, even in a gale Of wind. Sc.

4 Bounty for Snakes Suggested.

IT Is occasionally suggested that
premium per head or rattle, be paid
by the Government for the extermina-
ton of the dangerous snakes, but it
has been shown that there are but
few localities in the United States i'm
which the really dangerous species
are numerous enough to render even
an experiment with bounty desirable.
II has been tried and is still in vogue
in India, whore large sums are paid
annually to snake destroyers, but with.
out sensibly diminishing the fearful
mortality resulting from snake bites
in that country. Even in the little
island of Martinique it appears to have
had little effect in decreasing the num-
Der Of the deadly "fcr-de-lancc," prob
ably the most dangerous Of all ser.
pcnts, while it undoubtedly led to an
increase in the death roll of the popu,

ding themselves of the presence Of the

snake, with the result Of great NOR
tality among the hogs. Their last ex-
pertinent was the importation OF a
number of that little ferret-like animal
from the East Indies, called the mon
goose, which successfully combats the
deadly cobra, but, as a traveller oh.

Tho Cheapenlnr reIerranI,.

The increase in the use OF the
telegraph for business purposes has
been accompanied by steady reduc.
tion in the cost of messages. When
the first Atlantic cable was laid the
price of a twenty.word message be.
tween London and New York was
$100. or S5 per word. Now the com.
mercial rate between the two cities ia
twenty-five cents per word. To tele.
graph ten words from Chicago to New
York in 1866 cost $2.05. Now it costs
forty cents.
Telegraphing TO distant parts OF
the world is still an expensive busi-
ness. The rate per word for mes
sage from San Francisco to Auckland,
New Zealand, for example, is so. 81.
From New York to Manila the rate is
So. 40. The charge is not always iE
ratio to the distance. The rate from
New York to some South American or
West Indian ports is nearly two dol
lars per word, but in reaching these
points the messages travel twice across
the Atlantic. -Ainsles's Magazine.
