AMUSEM EN- RS.
The Nest EGG"

Zelda Sears. i'll the wholesome rural
comedy The Nest Egg" made q de
IcidedlS favorable impression, Wednes-
day evening. at the Opera house. The
audience was by no means n large
one, but IL maze up in enthusiasm
what it lacked in numbers. This com
edy, written by Anne Caldwell and
so ably presented by Miss Sears and
her associates, has a great deal in ii
to remind one OF the old plays Of the
Josh Whitcomb type, and is alive With
the hearty humor OF the country and
the wholesome action that leaves a
good impression afterwards. The play
has no strong elimaxes but combines
rural simplicity with heart interest in
such manner rs TO keep the interest
ali the way through without being OBJ
liged to resort TO artificial and forced
situations.
Miss Sears enacted the role of Hetty
Candy the lonesome seamstress. who
bankers for a husband and seeks to
find one by means of message
packed in the case with the egg, about
which the plot OF the story revolves,
in a manner that showed ner 70 be
entirely in sympathy with the part
and thorough mistress of dramatic
art. Jack Hamlin, as Charles Gott
hold was, perhaps, the best OF the
male characters, and in the role of Il
summer boarder, his rollicking jollity
captivated the audience. Then there
was Charles Lane, as the seeker for
pure foods. who at last finds and
marries the heroine: Walter Young.
u SNUG self-satistied country conf
dence man, and Francis Ward, as 4
sweetly sophistica ted little girl, all
giving delightful representations.
The scenery showed a wealth of de-
tail, particularly in the first two acts,
over which lovers of antiques would
go into raptures.

How Clouds Are CoIored.

The color of cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls
upon 1t and the position of the OBJ
server 1t will be noticed that high
clouds are always white or light in
color and this is because the light by
which they ars seen is reflected from
the under surface by the numberless
drops of moisture which go to form
the cloud Heavy rain clouds, on the
other hand. are found much neaTer the
earth. and so the light falls on them
more directly from above, giving a
silver lining 10 the cloud, though the
under surface appears black, owing
to the complete reflection and ABSORB
