A Trick of Actors.

Most people know that the memory
may be easily confused by learning a
passage in two or three different ways
or by having once heard an incorrect
form of giving it. Working on this
principle, actors are fond of putting
stumbling blocks in one another's way
A stock joke dear to the hearts of all
players is the regular thing to be in
flicted upon a beginner in the first act
Of Richard Ill" 1t is in the scene
where the coffin Of Henry VI IS borne
across the stage. One of the men who
carry it has been raised from the posi-
ton Of supernumerary to his first
speaking part, which consists Of a. sin
gle line. Before the performance it is
usual for some older actor to take him
aside and impress him with the enor.
nous difficulties of delivering that sen.
tence correctly. The victim listens
nervously.
''Now, most actors" says his tor
mentor gravely, make this mistake
the first time they play the part. In
stead Of saying, as it is, My lord,
stand back and let the coffin pass they
give it this way, My lord, stand back
and let the parson cough.''
And after he has heard the latter yer.
sion, absurd though it is, the chances
are that the poor supernumerary will
give that to the audience on the first
night.
The Caisson Fog.
In an air lock it Is common practice
to note that while unlocking-that is,
coming through the lock, and as the
pressure is being reduced by opening
the discharge valve-a fog accumulates,
becoming thick as the temperatures and
pressure are lowered The writer at
one time was attacked by the bends, or
the caissOn disease, after coming out
Of the old Hudson river tunnel. He
was promptly taken into the ''hospital,' -
which was nothing but a horizontal
tank about the size Of a common loco
motive boiler. The pressure, amount
Ing at that time to some thirty pounds,
was admitted, and it acted instantly to
relieve pain and to produce normal con-
ditions. He was told to open the throt-
tie valve and let the pressure out SO
that he might open the door. AS lie did
this he noticed that the temperature
was gradually lowered; and at GER
tain point, known as the dew point, he
was enveloped in fog. The pain return
ed about this time, so that he shut off
the discharge valve and opened the
cock, admitting compressed air. The
fog Immediately disappeared, the tenn
perature was slightly increased and the
pain stopped. This condition was re-
peated several times, so that here is q
means by which artificial fog may be
produced at will The same physical
laws apply in the production of fog as
in the condensation of moisture on the
exterior of an ice pitcher or on a wiz.

As one reads the financial comment

that II would feel mainland hard times
