M ECHAM'S WHISTLE
FILLS THE BILL

j. G. Mecham, of Mecham & Pinard,
7l8 Pacific avenue, has invented a pneu-
matte whistle for gasoline launches which
is the only one in the market which fills
the requirements of the law. A continu-
Gus blast for four seconds is required every
minute, and the best ever accomplished
by any other whistle was one and one-half
seconds. There are four valves working
against diaphragm, which cause continu-
Gus action. As one of the valves is in
action all the time, there must be a con-
tnuous blast, and this win last as long
as the handle is worked
Mr. Mecham has received letter from
b, B. Whitney, inspector of hulls, saying
that he considers the whistle answers all
the requirements of the law Collector lde
and Inspector Fairweather of the customs
department also approve of it.

He Plays an Important Part In stag
ing a Modern Play.
Wien a play has been accepted for
production it is sent to the scene paint
er, who goes over it carefully, taking
note of all details to be reproduced.
Then, if the subject is difficult, he
makes q sketch of it in the flat. If
this proves satisfactory to manager,
actor and author, he builds 1t up In
miniature model on the scale of half
an inch to the foot as perfect in pro-
portion and exquisite In detail as the
finished scene. An old gentleman late
ly, looking over collection of models
in one of the New York studios, re-
marked that his granddaughter would
be delighted to have them for doll
houses. The proprietor of the studio
smiled to himself. The models for q
single play cost well up toward q thou
sand dollars. For an ordinary four 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 100000.
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

pieces short enough to be packed in q
