ENTERTAINMENTS.
New Haven Thcater.

Pregnant with the purity of Chris tan holiness in it's religious aspect,
 which has specially endeared the play to chrch people of all sects, The Sign of the Cross" has strong historical in- terest in it's realistic exposition of the darkest days of Roman history, when
 Nero held cruel and prot1igate sway, and Christians were persecuted, tortur- ed and put to death by his Pagan sub-
 jects. No greater contrast could be pictured than the resignation and se- rene faith of the Christians, and the
 brutal license and barbarism of Nero and his people.
 "'The Sign of the Cross" will have an elaborate cenic and cotume production
 at the New Haven theater Monday,
 Tueday and Wedneday nights, August I2O, 21 and 22, with matinee Wednes- day.
 The plot briefly told Is as follows:
 Marcus Superbus, Prefect of Rome, meets in the streets Mercia, beautiful
 Christian maiden, and falls in love with her. Marcus has been ordered by Nero to exterminate the fast increasing sectof Christians. Learning that Mer- eia is one of the despised followers of the new faith, he goes to her disguised as boatman and warns her of her peril While he is with the girl and her companions word Is brought that Stephanus, a young boy who is of their number, has been arrested Marcus Ihurries to the prison, but he is too
 late to save stephanus from the rack, where he has been tortured until the lboy has revealed the meeting place of the Christians. Learning from the boy that Mercia will be at the meeting the lprefect and his guards hasten to the grove by the Cestrian bridge, where it is in progress. The worshippers have lbeen attacked blythe soldiers of the em- peror, and Marcus arrives just in time to save the life of the woman he loves.
 Berenis a wealthy patrician, who is in love with Marcus hears of his infat- uation for the Christian girl, Goaded
 on by the enemies of the prefect she induces Nero to condemn Mercia to
 death. Marcus appeals to the emperor
 who at last promises to save the girl from her frightful doom in the arena if she will publicly renounce her faith.
 Marcus goes to her and entreats her to live and become his wife This she re
 fuses to do, althought she confesses that she loves him. Won at last by the Iunswerving faith of Mercia and her Icompanions Marcus, too, embraces the
 belief of the woman he loves, and hand in hand they go to the beasts and "the | light beyond"

CARlPENTE(R ANTS.
Rare Intelligence of These Curious
 Small Creatures.

Rare Intelligence of These Curious
 Small Creatures.
 q once carefully studied large col |ony of carpenter ants that for several wears had lived and wrought within the heavy copper beam of flour mill at Bellwood, Pa," says Henry c. Mo Cook, in Hampers Magazine"
 "One by one the gang dropped the pellets from a crack in the twelve-inch Ibeam which opened into the next. These fell upon ross-beam. eighteen inches beneath, where another gYo1p of workers gathered them up and dropped them upon the stairway that led from the lower story, the next be- ing situated above the second floor.
 'The miller, who had been about the premises for several years, said that when he first came the ants had a third gang detailed upon the stairway, several feet below, who cleared off the dumpags and dropped it to the floor. But as he swept the stairs daily, the emmets discovered that their detail for duty in that quarter was not need ed and withdrew it. Thereafter work went on as saw it-the clippings cast from the crossibeam to the stairs were left to the manipulations of themtller's broom.
 Y have frequently found carpenter ants lodged in the shade trees along city streets and squares, and there they have the same habit of secretive- ness-or is it cleanliness ?-practised by Ithelr country cogeners. Near my house stood maple much the worse for wear and tear, although not old. On one side, a few inches from the roots, was small tubular opening Ihidden behind bulging scale of bark, Out of this ants were dropping cut tings, which formed a little heap upon the ground. Workers wrought upon this pile, carrying pettets piece by piece to the pavement curb and east | ing them into the gutter.
 Tt was interesting and amusing to watch the little creatures in this act 1 Having reached the curbstone, the wee porter would rear upon her hind legs, poise herself a moment thus, then bending forward, release or cast the chip from her jaws. The forefeet were used for this, being raised to the side of the face and placed against the pei ! let, which, by sharp forward motion was hurled away. Then would follow several similar movements, as though to brush from mouth and mandibles adhering particles of dust.
 "A gentle breeze blowing at the time lifted up the elected cuttings and car
 ried it down the gutter, which for sew eraI feet was strewn with pellets. In
 some way these emmet porters seemed
 to have grasped the fact that the
 breeze aided the disposal of the chip
 page, which therefore need cause no
 further concern"

Professor Flower Determined to Do If
 Once More--Free Prizes.
 The people at the White City yester- day afternoon saw Johnny Mack. the famous little aeronaut, shot out of a cannon at a height of over a mile. It, was beautiful ascension and the peo- Eple were amazed at the startling spec- tacle. Mack was burned about the arms owing to the premature explosion of the cannon.
 Professor Flower said to Manager Speck last night in all earnestness: Sam, we will do that triple parachute drop tomorrow if we kill a man. You can say this in the papers for me-"
 Johnny Mack, who stood near by. echoed the professors words. "A triple drop 1t shall be-" he said, no matter what happens" Mack further said that he would use the "hoodoo' red para chute and would cut away from it in time to get in his three drops. Visitors to the White City should re- member that the free tickets they re- ceive at the gate may result in their being awarded the fine piano now on exhibition at Loonlis music store on Chapel street. This splendid instrument will be awarded next Thursday without fail, and the winner will be entitled to take 1t right out of the grounds that very night. A fine list of silver prizes will also be awarded.

The helpleSsness of a great city was never better illustrated than when he earth trembled a few seconds under San Francisco on April is last. This tremor did comparatively small damage to buildings, but it worked havoc by snapping water and gas mains, electric wires and railroad tracks. In an in- stant the city was deprived of water, food, light, transportation facilities and means of communication. The tremor that shut off the water set the city on fire and burned the small stores of food. Street railways were paraIyzed.the tel ephones and telegraphs wepe useless, and human beings were reduced to ab- original methods of living and iocomo- tion. By mere accident single rail- road track was left so little damaged as to be easily repaired, and by super human work sufficient food was brought in to prevent starvation. If the outside world had not rushed to their assistance the people Of san Francisco would have perished in the midst of land of running waters and flowing with milk and honey.
 Such complete wreckage of urban la cilities is rare in history and could only occur through convulsions of nature or warlike assault and siege. It IS com paratively easy, however for the deli cate mechanism of any city to be thrown out of gear temporarily py req
