note of all details to he reproduced.
Then, If the subject is difficult, he
makes II sketch Of it in the flat. If
this proves satisfactory to manager,
actor and author, he builds ii up in

an inch to tie foot rs perfect In pro

In one of the New York studios, re-
marked that his granddaughter would
he delighted to have them for doll
houses. The proprietor of the studio
smiled to himself. The models for
single play cost well up toward n thou
sand dollars. For an ordinary SJur act
comedy the models, scenes, properties
and costumes cost, let US say, five or
six thousand dollars. The cost of the
great scenic productions is never as
much as the press agents say, but has
been known TO exceed $lOO,000
When the model is approved the
stage carpenter takes measurements
for such framework as may be neces=
sary The clumsy construction of the
old days has given way to the solidest
sort of building. Windows slide In
their sashes: doors slam, shut and lock.
Staircases ARE solid to the tread. Trees
are built UP in the round. and columns
are turned out of solid wood. But as
every show is intended to travel among
all tie great cities of the continent the

The scene painter marks out the
pieces Of his model In tiny squares and
then hangs huge canvas beside
the paint bridge with corresponding
squares in scale. The craftsman stands
on the bridge with II piece of charcoal

model, while an assistant raises and
lowers the cloth with tackle. Then

AMERICAN FLAG IN AFRICA.
Bishop HartzeII Says We Have
White Mans Duty in Africa.


Butte Intermountain: The interview
with Bishop John NJ. Hartzell, Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. carried by
the Associated Press few days ago,
In which that prelate said he hoped
one day to see the American flag flying
on the Dark Continent, Is not the first
In which Rev. DIR. Hartzell has exploit
ed this idea, nor are his views of the
subject recently formed. In 1899 he
returned to this country and while In
Cincinnati was interviewed by The En-
quirer, his theories at that time Great
ing no little sensation in the Methodist
world. Bishop Hartzell. then bishop
of South Africa, was loud In his praises
Of the rule Of Great Britain as he had
seen II, and loud in his denunciations
of the outrages in the Congo Free
State. He declared that wherever the
Union Jack waved, the blacks found
peace and protection, justice admins
tered impartially and slavery sup
pressed; while in the majority Of the
colonies of other nations, slavery was
openly practised. the natives were
slaughtered mercilessly for minor Of
fenses and the governments notorious
ly corrupt.
Bishop Hartzel's views are worthy
of consideration. He is giving his life
to South Africa and has braved many
dangers to carry the gospel to the
heather. He has been in position to
know the facts. He claims that Great
Britain and the United States alone
can prevent, at no distant day, serious
complications over Afri-
can territory, and thinks these two
great nations should establish protec-
torates over large portion of the
territory thus far unclaimed, thereby
securing balance of power and assur-
ing to the continent in the future not
only peace, but just government and
the advantage of civilization.
