made doubly thrilling by the mechani-

There is the rattle and clatter of a

Mississippi steamboat leaving the
wharf, moonlight effects on the river.

the water, the seething foam and
the rising mist. a freight train of
fourteen cars is run across the stage.
The caboose is lighted and the engine
carries the engineer and fireman. 1t
