STAGE ILLUSIONS.
Not the Least of These Are the Ban-
 quets on the Boards.


 Nothing is so deceptive as the stage meal, although the art of the property man makes such repnsts appear de liciously appetizing
 A favorite stage substitute for meat Is sponge cake, which cut into the shape of outlets or steaks and judi ciously Drowned with sauce, presents most genuine appearance The ad vantage of such material is that it i; easy for the actors to consume and does not present any difficulties to the carver
 Outlets composed of sst toast are also popular in stage culinary circles. and when decorated with dainty paper frils and parsley look quite the real thing.
 DO not let your mouth water at the sight of those dainty slices of ham re- posing on lettuce leaves on the baron's festive board. Ham is invariably rep resented on the stage by strips of lino- leum, the reddish under side of which makes convincing substitute for the real article. As to the surrounding let tuce, that is generally. represented by white leaves from the humble cab bage
 The larger and more impressive the stage edible, the greater the fake Huge pies which when cut produce a cloud of realistic steam are absolutely uneat- able. The crust is merely colored pa pier mache. which incloses q dish of hot water and sometimes a few boiled potatoes. which supply the necessary steam. The big sirloin of beef. which apparently weighs pounds. has about six ounces of eatahle meat about it. which q few thin slices of genuine beef are placed, giving the impression of q really fine piece of meat
 Were you to obtain peep behind the scenes just before a banquet scene was to be staged you would find a number of stage hands busily slcing up toma toes and bananas. You would see those slices being laid, out on plates sur rounded with parsley or white cabbage leaves. Under the glare of the lime light this dish assumes an astonishing resemblance to lobster salad. and in similar fashion sliced banana is a gen eral substitute for fish, entrees and hors d'oeuvre.
 One of the most astonishing illusions with regard to stage food, however, is where soup is concerned. This is in variably sawdust, which when ladled out of tureen has all the appearance of thick liquid.
 No banquet would be complete with out turkey loaf of bread delicately Drowned and decorated with pegs GOV, cred with Drowned dough, saves the management the expense of running up poultry bill. Moreover, the come dians can with comparative safety sling this asset to the feast about the stage without damage to life or prop erty-Philadephi Ledger.

VALUE OF FORESTS PROVED
In Addition to Conserving Rainfall. They Are of Other Aids to
 Agriculture.

While the rainfall of any region Is dependent on dynamic influences in the atmosphere, and can be affected only in very slight degree, if at all. by the extent of that region covered by forests, it has certainly been shown that woods and forests conserve rain. fall. The briefest consideration :ndi. cates the Likelihood that this must be so, because vegetation and the ground covered with vegetation absorb water and allow it to percolate slowly to the lower levels, whereas on bare ground the reinwater runs quickly away to sea. But trees serve another purpose in aid Of agricultare; because, as some recent experiments show, they act as windbresks and shelters to growing crops. The distance to which the pro- tective influence of trees extends is estimated at twenty times their height, though complete protection. such as might be afforded to growing wheat in gale, extends only to dis tance eight times the height of the trees. Partial protection is about twelve to fourteen times the height. They also check evaporation of rain. tall. their influence extending five times their height to windward and eighteen times to leeward, and pre- serve as much as 70 per cent. of mofs. ture ordinarily lost.

KENYON OFFERS PLAN

Some of them are cases for the CON

which $50 or some small amount is
