THEATRICAL BUSINESS.
Ingenious Devices ResOrted To by
Dramatic Managers to Attract
the Public.

The business of the claque has
been subdivided into many branches,
all of which are controlled by one
man or group of men, says Chambers
Journal. The applauders-even the
lady in the box who faints. and the
man who Kisses at a good part in
order to arouse ahe indignant en-
thusasm of the audience-were all
provided for so many tickets a per-
Torrance, to be sold by agents TO
the public. So carefully were the
plans of campaign thought out that
the Whitley of applause used to pro-
vide man or woman, dressed in pro-
vincial style, to jump up and scream
out: There's the villain hiding be-
hind that tree" or the like. We also
hear of cowboys in the far west pull
ing out their revolvers and pepper
ing the melodramatic villain.
On one occasion in IA London thea
ter the business instinct came out
in the same way. A relative of the
lessee was enacting the part of an
indignant father whose son had got
ers. In the interview with the money
lender the father severely lectured
him, and then demanded his sons
bill. There, SIR" he said, sis my
check for thousand pounds" The
money lender was just reaching out
for the check when voice came
from the pit: Don't you take it, old
chap. I've got one of his now for
six pound ten, and he's asked me TO
hold II for o fortnight"

DISCOVERY OF OXYGEN.
This Name perpetuates IN Error said
TO Have Been Made by Noted
Chemist,

1t was 127 years on the list Of Au-
gust since Joseph Priestley discoy-
red oxygen. He called it dephlogis-
ticated air. Scheele, who separated
It about the same time, empyreal
air; while Condorcet, more happily
than either, suggested vital air. La.
yoisier named it oXygen-literalI lily the
acid maker-and in so doing perpet-
uated an error, says London Express.
1t is not oxygen that is the essen
iial element in the formation of
acids, but hydrogen, so called be
cause it helps to form water. The
early chemists would have hit the
mark better if they had interchanged
the designations; for oxygen consti-
tutes the great bulk of water, and
hydrogen is a constituent Of all acids
What's in Il name IN this case is a
chemical misrepresentation. Priest
ley little knew how wide was the
range of the element he had found
Oxygen forms one-tifth of the atmos-
phere, eight-ninths of the waters.
and, taking altogether, one-half of all
the materials of the globe, so far a.
they are known. As carbon is the
basis of ali the organic substance of
the world, 50 oxygen, the supporter
of life and combustion, represents its
living energies.

Beaumont, Tex, is noted not only

poles in the United States. The tops
are $50 feet above the ground. They
were erected on the opposite banks
of the Neches river by the Western

TO string it's cable across the stream.
The span is 144 feet in leEgth. This
height is necessary to admit the
passage of ships through a draw

INEVITABLE DISTINCTION.

of Modern Times

Gen. Orpste Baratieri, who died III

spring the distinction OF being the
worst defeated general Of modern
times, reports the New York Mail anC

force killed or captured, by the BRAY.

for their independence. He had the
misfortune to escape To the coast him

putation of having abandoned his gen

cowardlE manner. \ military tri-
bunal of six generals acquitte. him of
criminal intention or P-nal esponsj-

him of the charge of taCtica, error. G7rd
they deplored in their verdict the fact
that the command of the Italian troops
had been "confded to an incompetent
leader"
Baratieri. a native Of Austria. had
been one of Garibaldi's red-shirts,
with Crispi, and had been favored by
the powers that were. He was brave at
MARSHA. and if he had died at Adowa
leading his men. as Dabormida did. he
might have saved his reputation. not
as general. but as fighter. As il
was, he died in disgrace.

BRITISH AND AMERICAN COMMERCE.

Commercial supremacy has long been con-
ceded to Great Britain that few people realize
a usurper has arisen and the centre Of trade
has crossed the Atlantic. Evidently the new
order Of things is not yet comprehended by Eng
lishmen, for many London publications of recent
cate dwell at great length on the splendid rec
ord made in 1900. AS a matter of fact Amerf-
cans would be greatly distressed if their foreign
trade figures were not very different British
imports were valued at f523. .633. .4S6 against
f4S5, ,035, ,5S3 in 1890 and stilI less in previous
years. But record breaking imports are not a
cause for congratulation. On the contrary II
means just so much more money due 10 other
nations from which purchases have been made.
and the United States figures prominently in this
connection. The largest item was cotton OF
which Great Britain imported f41 O27 1S1 worth.
and next wheat, including flour. valued at
f33. .429,1I4. For these commodities alone f49-
190,031 paid to American exporters
Total exports were valued at f354 $50 544
against f329534 COS in 1890 and less in preced-
ing years. The small gain in amount was due
to higher prices. for scarcely any of the i'm
portant items show an increase in quantity
while in many there was a severe loss COMPARED
with earlier years This is especially noticeable
in the textile manufactures; exports Of cotton
yarns decreasing 80 per cent compared with
1899. jute goods 20 per cent, linen goods and
worsted yarn 10 per cent. and cotton goods
4O0,O0oOO0 yards, or about per cent Sub
tracing exports from imports there appears n
trade balance against Great Britain of f169 OS2- -
S92, which is less satisfactory than the adverse
balance of f1555O0925 in the previous wear.
Hence, instead of jubilation over foreign COM
merce in 1900. there would seem to be cause fo.
regret that England put f13,5 ,967 more on the
wrong side of the ledger last year than in 1899
Comparison of these figures with the foreign
commerce returns of the United States will
prove instructive to any who do not appreciate
the position America has attained Reckoning
the pound sterling at 81 SS 1t is found that Brit
ish exports Of domestic merchandise were slight
ly smaller than American. but the total incIud-
ing foreign and colonial, reached 81, ,730 2O6 S97
or $3.50, 156,043 more than all shipments from the
United States. On the other hand British i'm
ports were 50 500 331 AL making an adverse
balance of SS25, ,124. .514, compared with favor
able balance for the United States of S64S sos =
73S, or net difference of 81 474123 252 in favor
of this country for 1900. Adding the net specia
movement, and allowing the maximum estimate
of interest American securities held abroad
together with money sent home by Immigrants
freights and expenses Of tourists there still re-
mains a surplus of $500.O00.OOO. against a heavy
deficit for the mother country.
