The Theater in japan

In Japan the theater goer leaves
home as early as $3.50 or 10 o'clock
in the morning. The play lasts all
day and sometimes far into the
night. During the play attendants go
about continuously, dispensing to
patrons small handless cups of pale
yellow tea. with which the air is
made fragrant. The Japanese theater
has several features novel to Ameri-
cans. revolving stage, allowing the
scene to be changed Immediately, is
used and naturalness is given to the
general effect by means Of two walks
leading direct to the stage on either
side Of the theater and extending it's
whole length Sometimes these walks
are enlivened with flower borders,
and here the action of the play some.
times begins. A character will ap-
pear, not from the wings, but on one
of these walks. He will repeat some
lines, which the heroine perhaps, or
other character will answer from the
opposite walk, and SO by degrees they
make their way in the most natural
manner to the stage proper.

Influence Of the Moon

In the course Of a recent lecture on
Time and Tide" Sir Robert Ball said:
THE moon, as every one knows, is
the greater cause of the tides, the
suns influence being not more than
half of our satellites because of the
extreme nearness of the latter body.
In distant ages the moon spun around
as the earth still does, but the tidal
action of our world on the moon has
so stopped that spin that now she
always turns the same face to us. This
tidal action acts like brake on a re-
volving wheel, and the time will come,
hundreds Of millions of years hence, If
the solar system lasts so long, when
the earth also will turn the same face
to the moon and our day be at least
a month long. But the interaction of
tidal forces tends to drive our satel-
lite further and further from us. Year
by year the moon is getting a few
inches more distant, and reversing the
argument year by year, in the great
past, the moon was nearer to us. Prof.
George Darwin has shown that long,
long ago the moon revolved close to
the earth, and still earlier formed
part of this globe. From that time to
the present he calculates at least 54,-

Some thirty years ago A. s. Pack
ard, now professor in Brown uni
versity. and widely known through his
scientific work and writings, caught
grasshopper somewhere down in
Maine, says the Manchester Union. 1t
was not much of an insect as grass
hoppers are commonly sized up by
the lay mind. There are plenty of
grasshoppers in any field or pasture
that are nearly or quite two inches
in length. with expansive, bright-color-
ed. wings. and not few of them make
noise in the world every time they
rise and take flight before the eager
collector or the peacefully grazing
COW.
But this grasshopper which Prof.
Packard found has no snowy wings
only the mere stubs of wings at the
most-makes no noise at any time, and
Is scarcely more than half an inch
long. Yet, for certain scientific rea-
sons, 1t was regarded with a deeper
interest than all the other members
of the grasshopper tribe. 1t was given
big name, Indianapolis dawsonii, ten
derby pinned and carefully put away
in the collection at Cambridge.
No other individual of this rare in

"Other features cannot be so recon-
mended," says traveller, "as, for in
stance, dressers to the chief actors,
who fit hurriedly to and fro like black
specters. These dressers are sup
posed to be invisible and in addition
to throwing around the actor his re-
quired changes of costume, some
times brocades and stuffs of extreme
richness and value, they act as Wallets
give the hero a cup of tea, fan, a
handkerchief, or, il the situation Is
very dramatic, hold on a long stick
taper, which lights up the actors
face.
"Pantomime is seen in high perfec-
ton. In one famous play a murder
is committed on a rainy twilight. All
is gloomy and still. A woman appears,
running. She looks behind her, then,
with terrified gesture, runs into a
wayside field of tall rice. SoQET a
man comes, painting. He stops. Ale
looks around, then at the ground
there, her footprints lead to the rice
field. He follows. Soon there is a
gurgling cry and the tops of the rice
stalks sway. Then all is STILL"

sect tribe was captured, at any rate
by anybody who recognized 1t, until
year or two ago. when Miss Susie G.
Fogg. an enthusiastic member OF the
chronological section of the Manches-
ter institute, secured the second speci-
men of melanoplus dawsonii known TO
the scientific world.
From that time Prof. A. r. Morse
of Wellesley, curator Of the museum
there, and a grasshopper specialist
OF no mean reputation, has greatly der
sired to secure specimens OF melanq
plus dawsonii on his own account.
Accordingly, taking advantage or an
invitation from Miss Fogg, Prof. Morse
came to Manchester day or two ago,
duly equipped with net. cyanide bot
tic and collecting box, as the law OF
entomologists requires. In company
with a party composed OF members OF
the institute, he proceeded to Rock
Rimmon, and with his net vigorously
swept the grass and shrubbery round
about. To his surprise, and that or
all present, he, or Miss Fogg, made
another Find" 1t was single speci-
men, to be sure, but as only two had
ever been found before it was rightly
considered reward enough for one
days effort.

The songs are all of me.

Sta m mer With the Pen

The discussion of the question OF
"pen stammering" suggested by DR..
Bertillon of Paris, and in which some
reference was made 10 Ribot's discus
sion of the same subject, reminds me
that "pen stammering" had been not
only recognized, but named, some
time before either of these gentlemen
came upon the scene of human activ-
ity to observe and classify the nervous
ailments Of mankind. The fact is that
Sir Walter Scott, writings have
delighted so many persons, was a suf-
ferer, as shown by the following ex-
cerpt, taken from the Life of Scott,
by Lockhart, 10th volume. second edi-
ton: January 10, 1871 cannot say
the world opens pleasantly for me this

100000 years must have elapsed. The
birth of the moon took place there.
fore, somewhere about that date in
the past"
Sir Robert Ball observed that when
the moon was near to us its attraction
must have produced enormous tides,
many times greater than those that
wash our shores to-day, and he sug-
gested that these tides by their pow
erful erosions and wasting of the land,
accelerated the geological forces and
so reduced the tremendous periods
which the biologists have demanded.
Hitherto, however, no evidence Of
these prodigious tides has been fur.
nished by the rocks, and most geolo-
gists are content with half the time
which Prof Darwin allows since the
moon was formed. Sir Robert threw
on the screen pictures of the lunar
surface, airless and waterless and
covered with the wrecks of ancient
volcanoes. Spaces there are where
seas once were, but ages ago they
sank into the cavernous interior,
where doubtless the ancient fires have
long been extinct, for no trace of
change can be discerned on that scene
of weird desolation.

carries the pen stammering" habit
much farther back than the discussion
up to this point had carried it, and,
no doubt, there can be found anthem
tic cases still further back than, 1881.
The fact is that "pen stammering'
probably came into existence q short
while after men began to write. II is.
at any rate, quite reasonable to as
sumo that the ailment followed quick
ly on the heels of the writing habit.
