"THlE FOOL HOUSE.

''rhe Fool House. the Four Hunt ings who mad ca big hit here during their previous visits and who have met with continued success on the road since they were here, will again be seen here, coming to the New Ha- ven theater Monday, Tuesday nights, January IA and 15, with a special mat inee Tuesday at the regular popular prices. They will present The Fool House" This comedy is an elabora- ton of their famous vaudeville aero battle comedy skit, which is an elabo- rate vehicle for the exploitation of some of the most wonderful acrobyatic acts ever seen outside of the circus. IL in itself is a comedy of no mean merit and which besides its topsv turvy characteristics has a constant plot with many dramatic situations. "The Fool House is an uproariously funny farce and there is not the least doubt but that the theater will be fll- ed to the doors at every performance, as was the case during the other two engagements. Already there is a large advance sale of seats for the engage ment.

FANTANA.

It seems hardly necessary to go into details about "Fantna" which comes to the Hyperion next Thursday and Friday. No musical comedy that ap- peared here last season received more enthusiastic commendation and the To- cal scribes used up practically their whole stock of superlatives in descrlb- ing it. There is 8 daintinsss and quaintness about the piece which is all it's own; there are more big song hits than in almost any other piece before the public, and in the costuming and mounting the atmosphere of the land of lotus and cherry blossoms has been faithfully reproduced.
 This particular engagement is unique, inasmuch as the composer, Raymond Hubbell, is to be present and conduct the orchestra through part of the per formance each night, while for the bal ance of the evening the baton will be held by Maurice Levi one of the best known musical directors in the country who has come to the front of late as the conductor of one of the greatest military bands ever organized and WHICH ue VIII take lO 1dTlS lulS Sull- mer to fill a lengthy engagement He was for years with the famous Weber, Fields aggregation, and is known far and wide as the man who taught the gallery boys to whistle with the band

The town of Limoges, famous since the sixth century for fine workfin enamel and other artistic handicraft. already had it's potteries, and when it was dis covered that in the near nei=hborhood were the largest deposits of kaolin yet discovered the china industry grew with mushroom like rapidity, and att tained also the stability of the oak. It is the kaolin in this neighborhood which gives the Limoges china its clear. white color and fine texture.
 There are large deposits of the kaolin in Australia and in other parts of Europe. One of the oldest potteries in England is that which produces the Doulton ware at Buralem-contract of the old Saxon Burwardeslea; in fact wherever you find famous Dotteries you will probably discover that the people of that neighborhood come of generation upon generation or potters, and have the knowledge of this doli- cate craft in their very blood.

ENTERTAINMENT
Hyperion Theater.

Nowadays play lovers refuse abso lutely to accept farce without embel- Ashment, and require, in addition to the story, fifteen or twenty musical numbers, an endless parde of pretty girls, an augmented orchestra and scenery and costumes that would have been impossible in the day when "The Mlkado' was produced at the Savoy theater, London, on two weeks notice. Such a combination of merriment and melody is said to be The Earl and the Girl" which the Messrs. Shubert are to offer on Monday and Tuesday even ings at the Hyperion. The piece is the work of Seymour Hicks, Ivan CaryIl and Percy Greenback, who have been responsible for a great many successes of the kind.
 ''The Earl and the Girl" tells the story of a penniless young nobleman whose creditors come about his ears at the critical moment when he is on the point of welcoming a wealthy American girl-object matrimony. Tn desperation lest this young woman should find out the state of his finances, he engages Jim Cheese, an animal trainer, to i'm personate him. Through a mistake the creditors get on the track of the real earl, while the American girl, Elphin Have by name, meets the dog trainer and is mortified with his vulgarities.
 In the course of events these compli- cations are strengthened out to the sat- isfaction of every one concerned, but not before the audience has enjoyed many happy laughs and has heard variety of pleasing melodies Among these are T Would Like to MarryYou," "I Want Can Made to Order" Won't You Change Your Name?" "Mediter- ranean Blue and How'd You Like to Spoon With Me?' This last number is accompanied by novel bit of business, which provides ten girls with swings that project over the heads of the au- dience
 The presenting company is headed by Eddie Toy, a comedian whose mirth provoking qualities are well known in this city. Besides MT. Foy, there are eighty-four other artists, including Harry B. Lester, Clara Inge, Zelma Rawlston, Isabelle D'Armond, William
 Armstrong and Frank Lavarnia.

truth of this statement. What then must be the responsibility involved in tending fire which is to make an ex- quisite design, the work of many hours perhaps of days or weeks, a permanent part of clay on which it is drawnl
 In consequence of this, in the past a great amny potters have had hard | and disagreeable work to do in per sonally attending to the manual labor end of their business. The perfect fuel is not easy to find. Shoyelling coal is stolIer's work. It is unreasonable to expect a nan to be skillful with his hands and at the same time to have the muscles of a navvy.
 Here is where gas cannes to solve tho problem. as it has solved hundred others. The gas kilns which are used by many modern potters give an ab- solutely even heat and require no heavy manual labor. This kiln makes the ideal equipment for the little stu dios which are dotting themselves all over the land. places where beauty loving men and women are dreaming beautiful things and making their dreams into fragile but enduring reality of porcelain. There is no craft in which the individuality finds fuller play than in china making, none which so etherealizes and makes lovely the common things of every day life. When you see a slender stemmed cup frosted over with the most delicate and exquisite silver tracery, a plate garlanded with flowers, vase as lovely as the roses it is meant to hold these things have the peculiar charm of all things which are both beauti- full and uerishable, the intense fasci- nation of sunsets and rainbows And yet they may last for hundreds of years-the, porcelain made for staate banquets a century ago is still in ex- istence.
 Many a woman has taken up this work as her grandmother may have bent herself to the patient toll of the embroidery frame, merely as a pleas ant occupation for leisure moments, a dallying now and then with the mar vicious secrets of color, and has ended by making 1t her profession. Artists have felt the allurement of the gentle craft.
 These workers, as well as the larger potterles find the gas kiln a boon and all through Ohio and the Middle West gas kilns supplied with natural gas On the whole, perhaps the stu dio worker in lottery benefits most by the invention. The larger concern can afford to subdivide it's working force; in a small establishment every one employed is likely to take hand at every task It is the latter that the labor saving devices are the greatest blessing.-Gas Logic.

WETT N home, to the task of realizing the vision of the beautiful which he has seen in his heart. He may work to wood. in clay in stone, in the flowers that grow In the garden; but he is a dreamer who must make his dream a reality.
 In such trade there Is very prac- tical side. The artist must be me- chanic as we'll and his tools must be perfect. He is not only dreaming dreams to be realized by his own skill full and careful hand; he is planning the work of others who have not his insight. Hence we must have a me- chanical equipment as nearly perfect as 1t can be made.
 In no trade Is this norm imperative than in that of the potter. A slight uneveness in the heat, little defect In the oven. may ruin the most baau- tiful piece of china that was ever de- signed. In china making there is no sluch thing as a near perfect piece of work. There is no making 1t over if anything goes wrong, It must be right the first time.

THE MODERN POTTERY.

Some Important Improvements Over
 Old Methods.
 The potter's wheel was among the first mechanical devices of civilization, and 1t is practically the same to-day, primitive as 1t may seem, that 1t was when the Etruscan potters moulded the jars and pitchers of red d-brown clay and decorated them with rude figures and conventional designs to please the taste of the housewife.
 Early pottery is mostly of the uu- glazed colored earth with which we are familiar in the museums, in the collections from ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt, and in the work of our own American Indians. The work earthen casseroles, which one may see to-day in the little Italian shops of New York, are probably not far re- moved in design from the cooking pots In which Roman slaves prepared their masters feasts in the days of the Caesars
 The Chinese were the first to make what we call fine china, and the brilliant whiteness and fine, smooth surface of their porcelains were due to their use of a very fine peculiar white earth, which still bears its Chinese name of kaolin. The secret, Ike that of the silkworn and the making of gunpowder, and a dozen other trades of these cunning Oriental workers, was iealously guarded, and for hun dreds of years the ships of Europe brought cargoes of Oriental china to the markets of England, France and Holland without any one being able to discover why the Chinese ware was so different from anything made by Western potters. It was an age of queer superstitions, and all sorts, of curious theories were advanced con corning the porcelains One was that the clay had to be buried for fifty years before being used, and that sor- cery was responsible for it's clarity and exquisite coloring. When the people of the Middle Ages came across any thing they could not understand they usually called it sorcery.
 But, finally an inquisitive monk dis covered the secret and brought a small quantity of white earth from the East, and then European potters began to experiment along the lines of the Chinese. The story of the develop ment of the china factories of Limoges reads like a romances, In searching for herbs, the wife of a physician near St. Yriex pulled up a shrub, to the roots of which chung a fine, white earth.

ARTEsIAN WE'LL FROM EARTH
 QUAKE.

T has just been discov 'csd that the upheaval of April 19 did funny things to the wells in Lne courtyard at the rear of the San Francisco Mint. For years prior to Anrl 19 these had been ordinary, wei behaved wells, yielding water plentifully when steam pump was emplo ed. But now tkey a7e spouting artesian wells, from which steady stream Of water flows when no pumping is done. This was discovered yesterday when the pump was taken out for repairs, the courtyard being flooded in a short time.
 The wells were bored many years ago, and are about 1T5 feet in depth, There was apparently subterranean connection between them, for the pumping from one lowered the water in the other. Normally, the water was within thirty feet of the surface, and that was the condition when the pump was taken out last March. Yesterday for the first time since March. the pumps were again removed, when it was discovered that the water flowed freely.-San Francisco Chronicle,
