A Patent Hole.

OF the many extraordinary things for
which patent protection has been
granted n hole seems TO be the most
useless and impossible. Yet there are
many patents for holes. and. what IS
more. the patents are valid and valu-
able. One Of the best relates To holes
in ships bottoms for the admission
and escape Of water 10 the condensers.
Every one who has seen a screw
steamer under way will have noticed a
stream OF water issuing from her side
a little above the water line; that water
Is pumped into the ship for the pur-
pose of condensing the waste steam
that leaves the cylinders and returning
IL as water TO the boilers.
At last il occurred 10 a genius that
II a hole were made in the bottom of
the ship forward of the condenser and
another abaft il. the water would cir
culate around the condenser without
the aid of a pump. 1t is for the shape
of these holes. so that they will offer
less resistance TO the water when the
ship is travelling fast. that several pat
ents have been granted.

last production, held the boards at the
Grand opera house last night The
play is conceived in the usual happy
humor of the late playwright and Is
built on the conventional lines of the
Hoyt farce, with originality enough to
make 1t thoroughly enjoyable. William

piece Is at present being produced, has
gathered together an extremely compe-

whose whistling specialties were espe-
cially enjoyable. All the musical num-
bers, of which many are scattered
throughout the piece, are of unusual
merit The recitation "The Languld

mencing Thursday, with matinee Sat

play scored the most pronounced sue
cess and was unanimously endorsed as
one Of the most powerful character
comedy dramas on tour. 1t will long
be remembered for the able manner In
which each individual member of a
particularly capable company interpret
ed his respective role. The attraction
remains under the personal direction of
Arthur c. Aston, who will present the
same powerful company which has In

artistic and financial success Of the pro-

other popular comic operas wrote the
piece, and w. T. Francis composed the
music, and both have been enthusiasts

Everything seems to Indicate bril-
liant success for the entertainment. A

many Of the best known society people
Of the city, have already engaged their
seats.
Mr.. Stephens, the musical director, is
enthusiastic regarding the voices of the
singers whom he has drilled, both for
the solos and the chorusses. The fact
that many of the best known soloists
lin New Haven have been secured to
take the leading parts will be suffi-
cient guarantee to the success of the
opera.
"Egypta" has been given with I'M
varying success for the past eight
years in every part Of the country. The
opera is refined and beautiful through
out The scenery has been specially
painted from sketches furnished by the
author of "Egypta." The costumes are
all graceful and artistic. The music
is good and finely rendered. The dra-
matte and spectacular effects are de-
lightful and impressive from beginning
to end. Wherever the opera has been

celved and pronounced one of the pref
