STAR Fitch plays, tho usually
successful, do not often bring great
financial reward to their producers.
And not only do many of these dramas
make less money on their tours than
far less meritorious plays, but Fitch g
contracts are so one sided that he
pockets every week large sums of
money when his managers are, in many
cases, losing on the venture.
But managers clamor for the chance
to lose money that way. The reason is
simple. Clyde Fitch makes stars. He
not only takes hold Of a. new actress

Having thus spread the idea that
Miss Blank is something like genius,
the astute manager turns from Fitch
to dramatist whose reputation is

half as much pay for his work, and

Cantor IN Great Demand

Jews on the upper East Side have
gone wild with enthusiasm over the
voice of a Russian cantor who sang
the services in the New York Star
theater Saturday morning. The theater
has been turned into a temporary tenn
pie. His name is A. l.. Schlossberg,
and those who have heard him declare
he has the most remarkable voice
human being ever possessed
The cantor could be a rabbi, it is
said, if he wanted to; but, knowing
the quality of his voice, he prefers to
remain singer. He has had dozens
of offers to go into grand opera or to
sing in concert. But the bent of his
mind is religious, and he has no in
tention of changing his vocation.
The demand for him by the Jews of
this country is so great that he finds
it impossible to accept all calls. Satur-
day he was at the New Star theater;
this week he goes up to Bronxville,
and then comes down to a temple in

The Mauic Mirror of Japan.

The magic mirror" of Japan is a
disk of bronze, usually from six to
eight inches in diameter. 1t is sill
vered on the front, which is little
convex, and there is raised pattern
on the back which is rather concave.
The polished pattern is generally a
landscape, flowers, animals, or Chi
nese characters. 1t Is not visible IN
the front of the mirror, but when
strong sunlight is reflected from the
front of the mirror to a wall or screen
the pattern of the back is visible on
the screen in bright lines on black
ground. Prof. w. E. Ayrton, f. r. S.,
with Prof. John Perry, f. r. S., was
the first to give the true scientific ex-
PLANTATION of this magical effect. 1t
seems that the design on the back
alters the convexity of the front, max
ing it fiat, in fact along the lines of
the pattern. Consequently the light
reflects from the front is not dispersed
at these points of the design, and they
appear brighter on the screen.

Cravats of Wood Pulp.

A syndicate of English capitalists
is engaged in an endeavor to promote
market in this country for tie silks
made chiefly from wood pulp. This
product is principally obtained in
South America, Paraguay furnishing a
large supply. The vegetable silk has
its origin in trees and is readily adapt
able to native looms. The woven
threads are superintendent, which
process presents silky finish resem-
bling mercerized goods. For several
years past this glossy material has
been sold in piece lengths to the up
holstery trade, by which it is utilized
for filling purposes. The selling test
of artificial silk for cravats is anxious
ly awaited by local manufacturers.

Ex.President Cleveland, during his
sojourn in New Hampshire the last
summer. attended divine service in a
chapel unique on an island in pictur-
esque Lake Asquam.
Eighteen or twenty years ago Err
est Balch, who was then student at
Harvard college, conceived the idea
of a summer athletic school for boys,
and chose the island Mentioned as the
location. Camp Chocorua" was there
established, and had very successful
existence for a decade, being the pio-
neer of the large number of such
schools now in existence.
There was provided chapel, origi-
nal in conception with Mr.. Balch. It's
walls were the environing trees of the
forest. It's ceiling was the ever
changing sky. Rustic seats were
built for choir and congregation. The
most prominent feature was a mas
sive stone altar, surmounted by a
heavy stone cross.
This chapel was at the eastern end
of the island, and there the members
of the camp, numbering half hun
bred, would gather regularly every
Sunday, whenever the weather per-
mitted, for divine services.

How the PIGEONS Mate

remains constant to her through life.
The occasional instances of infdenty
cause dscord in the coop, for when
one pigeon tires of his mate and seeks
another he meets a vigorous protest
from the companion of the bird which
he coyets. When they have agreed
to spend their lives together Mr.. and
Mrs Dove select a box and the laying
begins. The parent birds may then
be less than eight months old.
The pigeons worst enemy is the rat.
In the absence of the mother or the
father bird, the rat will crawl into a
nest, steal a young SQUAD, drag it bod
lily away and devour it. So a good
cat is a necessity in a pigeon coop-a
cat that is taught not to disturb the
pigeons, but to be death to rats. Mice
are pest among the pigeons, too.
but they eat only the grain, not dis
turbing the eggs or the young
Frequently however, the most dar-
ing mice will creep under the very
nests of the pigeons, even while the
birds are on their eggs, and the pre-
sumptive rodents will make their own
nests there, rearing their young in the
genial warmth of the sitting pigeon.

On a south Jersey farm, which was
the home of thousand pigeons and
which was conducted by woman
who had formerly been a bookkeeper
in Philadelphia, was found one par
ticular fly and coop which was the
abiding place of young doves that had
reached the mating season, says the
Era Magazine. These young birds
were associated together so that they
might select their life companions.
The interior of the walls of the COOP
was filled with boxes and those
pigeons which had mated would
select one of these boxes for their
home and nest.
This period of courtship is one filled
with excitement for the birds. Two
young pigeon cocks, having selected
the same hen for a mate, have been
known to fight to the death in their
rivalry. The method of combat is
peculiar. The beak and wings alone
are used, the combatants catching
each other with their beaks by the
skin of the head and beating each
other with their strong wings.
Having once chosen his mate the
dove, with an occasional exception
