Was there o cyclone? That is naturally
the first enquiry which will be made, when
we seek for the cause, or causes, of the un-
usually rough weather of the first. week in
the present month. Strong north winds
sometimes occur in this part of tile world
in the winter months, but they generally
begin abruptly from the north or a point
east of north; whereas our last storm, began.
from west-northwest. This, taken. with the
subsequent shifts of the wind, uggest the
possibility of a cyclone central in a north
e%asterly direction and moving from west to.
east. A st. Thomas friend writes US. that
the Liverpool steamer Bar6adian coming to.
st. Thomas, fell in with a heavy souGhwest
gale on Wednesday and a nor incest gale on
Thursday. This looks cyclonic, and as the
vessel arrived at st. Thomas on Saturday
morning, we may, in the absence of fuller
particulars, assume that she was about 600
miles from st. Thomas in a northeast-by-
east direction when she passed across the
south side of the supposed cyclone.
The experience of the Buubadian Thus
appears to show, at all events, there was a
cyclone central to the northeast of us on

FACIAL EXPRESSION

In his essay on Adrienne lie Cow
reur, Sainte Beuve declares that act
ress' finest excellence to have been
not her elocution. her eloquence, her
temperament. nor any of the hundred
and one other attributes that 60 to
make up effective acting, but her
skill in mute acting.
"No one ever so perfectly under
stood the art of mute acting-the art
Of listening perfectly and yet acting
with ones whole person while another
character is speaking. Thus, full of
soul and of feeling, an untiring stu
dent, passionately in love with her
art-everything contributed to make
her the great reproducer Of the subt-
lest and finest Of human emotions
and this to degree unsurpassed in
her own day"
II was by posture, by gesture, by
facial expression particularly, that
Adrienne lie Couvreur-she who first
made queens in the flesh of Shakes
peare's queens in poetry attained
the stature of an artistic in the affec-
tions of people who had only known
actresses.
Mute acting, the possibilities OF
facial expression (always this side OF

that invisible line that divides the
grimace from the look of eloquence,
pathos from bathos, sentiment form
sentimentality) is an instruction of
his art forgotten by the actor who
complains that he is cast insignifi'
cantly, as it is the glory Of the actor
who suddenly lifts small part into
fine prominence. Nature may aid
much in equipping an actor with a
fine facial expression. Nature may
give the actor the one talent--a strik-
ing countenance. 1t is for the actor
to multiply the gift by practice and
by hard work until it becomes the ten
talents OF finished art.
y OF living actresses, the counten-
ance of Marie Doro is most strik-
ing instance to the extent that an
actress may improve upon Nature,
and, through effort, obtain a wide
range and an exact power OF facial
expression.
These Illustrations, expressive o.
emotions induced by lines taken at
random from the play, "The Morals
Of Marcus, exhibit range OF facial
play as varied and exact as it is rare
Partly in play, partly in earnestness
Miss Doro has developed to the full
the actors most effective medium ol
interpretation-facial expression. Inc
result is evident.-The means OF OBJ
tanning it worthy Of record.
II was as a member Of the "Littl'
| Mary" company that Miss Doro

ayailing herself of waits between act,


or during the scenes Of other players,
got her best practice. In fun, as she
thought, she We'd with another girl
actress at making faces, as two chill
dren might do. Night after night she
practised at this, amusing her friend,
and being amused, until it came to
her, unawares, that she could almost
do what she wished with her count
enance. This she realized one night
on actually frightening her friend
with look OF terror. From that on,
Miss Doro has given time and pains
to the furtherance of this power.
Her methods are these two-to
memorize a story, preferably one
built of several contrasting ideas
reflect upon it, and then tell it entire
ly by facial pantomime to some one
