adroit and generous stage producers in the country, and although quite young has come into national prominence. It was he who first revealed in that bucolic play, Way Downt East, the realistic pos abilities of the stage snow storm Time was when the stage snow storm consisted of sitting of cutt paper from a perfor- aed revolving cylinder in the flies. It set tied down with unnatural partiality upon the distressed heroine in the black dress with white collar and cuffs-the honored stage trapping of woeful and outraged womanhod-and leftt her surroundings as bare as Mother Hubbards fabled cup board. Brady changed all that. He sub stittuted salt, resembling fine. dry snow, blown through huge cylinders by means of electric fans. It went driving and whirling past the windows Of the old farmhouse as If borne on the wings of bowling gale A dozen men, four of them electricians, were needed to produce this effect.

ABOUT THE SUN.
Some Statistics Concerning Wonders
 of the Solar System.

From the Imperial.
 The sun is about 92, ,000.OOo miles off. The only way of measuring the distance of a fixed star is by parallax, and scarcely more than a half dozen can be estimated that way. Suppose the sun is here, in space, on January 1. On July he will be 1S4 0O0, ,000 miles over there. This is the base of measurement. The observer who wants to estimate the distance of, say, the star A Centuri, notes its position with regard to the next star. In six months he notes again and if they are separated by different distance. so-called paral- lax is established, and some calculation can be made of the distance of the near est one. In the most favorable cases this parallax is extremely slight.
 What Is the sun made of? The lines of the spectrum give an idea of his chemical properties but beyond that all is hypoth- esis His substance, as a whole, is of much lighter material than the earth, buc vet there may be hard and heavy fiery pudding inside, for there Is 0 light and thick outer coating, named the photo- sphere. of hot air, so to speak. The spots art rifts through the photosphere. coming and going, and some are so large that our whole earth could be shot right through with a thousand miles to spare all around When a total eclipse covers the sun, flames to the height of thousands of miles are seen out of the photosphere. The sun is 100 times larger than the earth, an easy thing to say. and yet our sun is be- lieved to be rather small one. For in- stance sirius is at least nine times as big. big.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 MT. Vincent Crummes, the portly and pompous theatrical manager of Dickens creation, prided himself even more upon the surpassing realism of his tubs of real water than upon the marvellous precocity of his Infant Phenomenon" Thus even has the purely speculative and sordid dramatic producer subordinated the ar tistic to the material.
 But the up-to-date manager has learned a thing or two. He realizes that the day has gone by when mere pictorial splendors will carry day to enduring success, any more than clever acting will atone for tawdy establishment, on slovenly, slip shod scenic effects. The playgoers of the period demand a great deal for their money and they get it. Int fact. they have received so much that they are dis posed view with increased apathy and in- difference the most finished products of the brains and prodigal expenditure.
 Of all the arts employed in modern stagecraft-and it seems to have closely approached the limits of perfection-none is so difficult as the art of initiating na- ture. It has, however, been reduced to an exact science and requires an immense amount of study and practical develop ment.

ism. One of these represents the main street in the quiet humdrum little village of Eddysville, typical of scores of quaint New England hamlets, for which we of the hurried, hustling West, who come of sturdy Puritan stock, will always retain a lingering and lasting affection. There is the dingy little general store, with the gossip of proprietor. Thanking 1t upon the one side is the district school, from which the children troop at recess time to engage in childish bickerings and sports Opposite Is the billboard, upon which the local "opery-house" manager, who also combines the functions of billposter and wonders that are to inf1ame popular in- terest in his coming attractions. The ar tst who painted this scene must in his younger days have become thoroughly im- bued with the sluggish atmosphere of the rural town, for he has been singularly happy in reproducing its exact local color
 But Is in the orchard scenes of Lovers Lane" that the painter, the electrician and the property maker have been ena- bled to reveal their best skill. The same orchard is depicted, but in the contrast ing scenes of autumn and spring. It faces the parsonage on the left, and off to the right winds the woodland path by the lit- tie church, through which the minister of the play has wandered back and forth for

As they are shown first in the dying leafage of sombre autumn, and later in the luxu- riant pink and white blossom of spring. time, it was, of course, necessary to make two complete sets. This meant six trees involving weeks of, ingenious labor and an expenditure of some 5000 for work manship and material

,f one of these trees the bark is cut away

of one of these trees the bark is cut away disclosing from the rear but concealed from the audience, span of wooden steps, which enable the mischievous op- phan child, Simplicity, to climb into an exalted place of leafy concealment. This Is by no means the first time that the property maker has assisted an actress to mount to dizzy heights
 In this connection may be mentioned an amusing incident in which Clyde Fitch, the author of the piece, himself figured When the autumn orchard scene was sub- mited to him shortly before the first per- formance of Lovers Lane' he conceded that it was very beautiful, but protested that 1t was not true to nature There was, he said, a too vivid coloring in the fading foliage. It suggested maple rather than apple trees. The scenic artist, whose col or scheme had been followed by the prop erty-maker, put up a stiff argument. He had an apple tree in his back yard, he declared that turned to crimson and gold in the fall of the year. But Fitch, who is a great stickler for accuracy, was quite obdurate, and would not be overruled.
 The time was short and the orchard 0 very comprehensive affair for reconstruc- tion at short notice. And that was why for hours, even until shortly before the rise of the curtain, the eminent young dramatist was to be seen coatless, per spring and begrimed. perched in his apple branches, helping to discard the more vivid foliage and substitute the dull greens and brown that were faithful to nature
 A great deal of time and money is ex- pended to secure realism in modern stage productions. And it is curious fact that the initiative product of skillful prop erty-maker is always more effective than the article reproduced. It is good deal like the painted sky of the impressionist. It looks more real than the genuine. There is no other land in the world where this sort of work has been brought to such high degree of perfection as in this country. The American property-maker, like the scene painter, surpasses the best achievements of his French, English and German rivals.

The girl would have returned

taking his gun with him must
have gone over to Mr.. Heir

Mr.. DECIDE hunted about for

him. but as soon as all left the
house except the girl. shot
was heard and the folks return
ing to the house found the girl
murdered, having been shot in
the back of the head with a
shot gun. And it was noticed
that Fischer sat on the gran

lower part of his face which
seemed to be wounded. Be
fore the folks returned, how
ever, after finding the girl dead,
Fischer had finished himself
by a second shot and this time
practically blew his head off.
Since the young girl had no

who shot her life away, she
should not have in any manner
at any time countenanced his
impudent persis ence, but
ought to have resented him
from the start. But of course
young girls do not always know
what to do, and this one having
been dogged at every foot step
is hardly to be blamed.

a want of fine sensibility and
in it's stead a dogged dencanor

a low stage when it runs along
this line. and mind so per-

this case the murder followed,

fixed, and finally carried out in
