The Theater in Jan,

In Japan the theater goer leaves
home as early as $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 handles cups of pale
yellow tea, with which the air is
made fragrant. The Japanese theater
has several features novel to Ameri.
cans. A 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 its
whole length. Sometimes these walks
are enlivened with flower borders.
and here the action of the play some.
times begins. A character will an.
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 de~rees they
make their way in the most natural
manner to the stage proper.

Drifting ghosts of the sea! This
phrase Is no misnomer as applied to
the stealthy, ASSOCIATED phantom
chips which, to the number of between
15O and 200, are moving day and
night, now in storm, now in calm,
across the lanes of travel, and MP
and down the Atlantic, with only the
wind or the wave for pilot.
Public attention was drawn a few
days ago to the laying of one of these
marine phantoms-one of the most
dangerous ard persistent of them-by
Commander S. M. Holman of the
United States navy, in command of
the Pennsylvania nautical training
ship Saratoga When about thirteen
miles north of Corvo. in the Azores,
Commander Holman sighted the dere-
lict, which proved to be the three
masted. undertaken schooner James
W., of Charlottetown, Prince Edward
Island. Abandoned and completely
dismasted by recurrent tornadoes,
ranging the seas between the Azores
and Halifax, the James w. had for
months been as much of a boyle to
seamen as ever was the Flying Dutch
man to the early navigators of New
York (nee Amsterdam). Her depeo-
pied decks were swept clean except

One Insect Good p,

Some thirty years ago A. s. Pack
ard, now a professor In Brown uni
versity, and w.ueiy known through MS
scientific work and writings. caught a
grasshopper somewhere down In
Maine, says the Manchester Union. It
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
a 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. It was given
a big name, melaroplus dawsonii, ten
derby pinned and carefully put away
in the collection at Cambridge.

Vhgarfes was that of schooner which
was run down and cut in two, south
OF Nantucket, some months ago. Be
ing loaded with lumber she did not
sink. Half of her drifted up to Sable
Island and the other half, turning
south, skirted the coast and brought
up finally on the beach near Cape
iIatteras.
One CT the still-veiled mysteries of
the sea was the case of the derel.ct
Marie Celeste, bark found in the
Mediterranean under full sail, as with
the White, and every rope in place.
Her captain and crew had disap.
peared, and nothing is known of them
to this day.
Until the White House was re-
modelled a year ago there stood in the
chief executive Office a memento of
the most famous Of derelicts, the Brit
ish ship Resolute. 1t is a desk made
OF the ships timbers and presented to
the United States government by
Queen Victoria as a reminder of an
international courtesy extended by
Uncle Sam to John Bull forty-nine
years ago. The Resolute was one of
the vessels sent out for the relief of
Sir John Franklin and his Arctic ex-
pediticn in 1851. She was bottled ND
In Melville bay and abandoned, being
found four years later by a New
England whaling vessel just off
northumberland gulf. She was towed
to New London as the property of the
owners OF the whaler. Congress, how
ever, appropriated 100000 to buy the
prize, which was subsequently re-
turned to England. When the Reso-
lutte was broken up In 1877 the queen
mad desk made from its timbers and
presented 1t to President Hayes.
Besides derelicts, another ghostly
peril which haunts the sleeping and
waking dreams of the sailor folk is
the pinnacle rock. OF the 3.797 yes.
sells and $500 lives that are recorded
by the marine services of both hemis-
pheres as having been lost, far more
nave been victims of ocean pinnacles
than of derelicts.
AS many of these pinnacles are sub
merged and as their irregular form
and distribution render it possible for
a ship to be completely environed by
them, as In merciless maelstrom. ev.

exerted to counterfeit this boyle. BY
