 Marfonetfas

The Italians Are the Master Artists ill
 Marionettes.
 It remained for the Italians, how ever, to bring marionettes to their highest state of development, and wonderful indeed Is the ingenuity of their own shows. We saw remark ably clever performance given by fantoccini last year under thecolonnades of the municipio at Oria. On carefully examining the dolls we found them to be not entirely made of wood. The head was of papier-mache-light and capable of feeling the slightest impul- sion, and provided with a hinged lower jaw arranged to initiate the movements of talking. The body and thighs were wooden; the arms, legs and neck of lead or leaded so as to readily obey the laws of gravity. All the strings destined to move the arms and legs united inside the body and issued together from the head. A metal rod connected this latter with the operator in his 'castello," and by it the manikin could be moved about the stage.
 The play dealt with peasant life, re- liIlS tIIe llltG Sloly oL d. Coullliy ldSc who, despite the allurements of the city and the attentions of a great gentleman. remains true to her rustic swain: oe Rosalia. her mother, and Pietro, her father-a cobbler with but just enough work to keep his family from starvation, said the voices of their hungry children calling from behind the scenes for "polenta, polenta!" At an- another show I saw a shepherd in his goatskins do a drunken scene upon his stilts that for low comedy was absolute ly inimitable. and we'll do I remember dancing giant who dropped first his arms, then his legs and finally his head each of which, with the body, became a seperate waltzing figure.
 Some years ago, for now the vogue has almost died away, the Italian mo- bles gave fantoccini shows in their pri- vate palaces-plays rocking with es- capades of the Roman monsignorf and political satire that dared not show it's face on public boards.-Ernest C. PoiXotto in Scribner's.

THE CANAL AND YELLOW FEVER.
 The British Epidemiosogical Society,

The British Epidemiosogical Society, whatever the purpose of it's existence may be, is alarmed lest the opening of the Panama Canal shall result in spreading yellow fever in the British and American possessions in the Orient. In fact, the society has appointed a. committee to call the attention of the American and British Governments to this danger
 The society is probably composed of medical men who think they know what they are talking about, but they have probably magnifed the yellow fever peril which they have associated with the opening of communica tions by waterway between the two oceans. They forget, apparently, that the United States is to control thc canal.
 If what has beecn accomplished in the cities of Havana and Santiago de Cuba, through the introduction of American sanitary methods. can be taken as an indication of how yellow fever can be stamped out it would be safe to infer that with American soldiers policing the route of the Panama Canal one of the nrst things to be done would be the stamping out of yellow fever in Colon- bia. Filth and unsanitary conditions are largely responsible for the spread or this disease. and American energy comblned with American methods of sanitation may transform the Isthmus or Panama after the canal has been structed.-CleveIand Leader.
