At this moment the sculptor's wife came

Over the rendering OF these daring flights
of fancy the staff Of the New Theatre has
been struggling without ceasing ever since
last spring. There was no manufacturing
concern in America from which one could
order a copper frying pan. for instance
through which you could see as through
window, and which would glow with jewelled
light and dance on the stove at a moment S
notice. Nor did any stOneCutter make
tombstone that could fade before your eyes
into swaying lily. Therefore several labo-
ratories in the New Theatres workrooms
were set aside to experiment with these
strange Blue Bird properties Dozens OF
models of each have been made; parts have
been imported from Paris Para rubber has
been brought from the jungles where 1t
grows, and out Of it balloons have been
blown which are lighter than air and Of a

There is a whole set of white crockery, too

One Of the difficulties in setting this play
has been that six Of the changes of scene
must be done in full view Of the audience
without even fully darkening the stage
In fact. the scenery is really the leading
actor. and although there are to be 13G
characters in this production, it would be
possible to present il with nothing but the
scenery and two characters. How to pre-
sent these scenic effects without having
them spectacular and theatrical has been
a stirring problem. Five thousand new
colored lights have been added for the
Blue Bird and for the first time the
New Theatres entire lighting facilities will
be used Mist and dew will hover over field

LEANING TOWER OF PISA.

4 good deal has been written OF late con

THE PARCEL POST OF ENGLAND

In England it is possible 80 send almost
anything by mail; that is. anything which
weighs less than eleven pounds. II is said
to be quite possible to send a baby through
the mail in that country. but il is not fre-
quentIy done but not, however, because OF
any serious objection on the part OF the
postoffice authorities.
1t is quite common thing for family
residing outside of London to receive all
their domestic supplies in that manner. and
one Of the recommendations for this mode
of shipment is that the goods arc delivered
the same day as shipped. and therefore
are to be relied upon for freshness.
The shipment of eggs is so extensively
done that a special branch Of the service
has been organized for this business Per
sons making such shipments are furnished
with elaborate directions regarding pack
ing and other things to be observed. The
department is not reSpOnSl bic for lost or
damaged eggs. but If is rare that there is
any cause for complaint for the Off1cta Is
viii not receive eggs for shipment unless
the shipper has complied with all the rules
and regulations. and If this i done there
is not much chance for damage. The rate
charged in England is far less than that

country for similar servlce--PhiladeIph
