during a long rehearsal, from tangle of
colored yarn in shop window, and from
similar seemingly disconnected things. The
raising of the curtain to the point where only
the feet of the dancing chorus were visible,
in "The Jolly Bachelors" hit upon through
a curtain that was out of working order at
the dress rehearsal of the show in point
and the little trick proved very effective.
From all of which you may observe to
what extent chance operates for eventual
success in the manuscript realization bust
ness.
THE manufacturing of comedy scenes is
L almost wholly the work of the realizer.
The librettist supplies the comedy dialogue
and the suggestion for the basis of the COM
edy scene; but the man who realizes the
manuscript has to manufacture the comedy
scenes as the audiences know them. For
example, let us take an actual case:
In one of the successful Broadway shows
of the last few years there was a scene in

Louisiana Mineral Wealth.
n. o. Picayune.

mineral products OF the Southern
States, which is published in the
Manufacturers Record of Feb. ID,
which is interesting.
They produce nearly all the me-
tails, including gold and silver, but
the most important products are
coal. iron, petroleum, lead, zinc,
salt and sulphur. OF tho states,
West Virginia stands first, with
values in 1911 of $lO3,O OO,O 900 pro-
ducts. Missouri comes second
with S53,O0O,0O0 and Oklahoma
third with $43,0O0OOO. Louisiana,
which for long time was suppos-
ed to have but little mineral
wealth, depending chiefly on it's
wonderfully fertile soil and varied
agricultural proSucts, is now COM
ing forward with an important
mineral production, aud marches
ahead of Florida, Maryland, Geor-
gia, Arkansas, the two CaroliDas
and Mississippi. furnishing in 1911
mineral products of the value Of
ten aud a quarter millions Ut dol
lars.
ut is only within tho last de-
cade that Louisiana could lay
claim to any importance as . min
ing state. Following tho ssnsa-
tional strike of oil at Beaumont,
Tex, in 1901, prospecting for Pc
trolsum was actively carried on
across the Sabine River in Louisi-
ana, resulting in the development
of several pools. Prospecting in
other parts of tho state has consi-
derably broadsned the cruds-oil
territory. which now extends as
far north as Caddo, about 200
miles from the place of original
discovery. For a few years Pc
troleum was tho only mineral pro-
duct of any importance in Louisi-
ana, and in 1904 the Frasch pro-
cess for the recovery of sulphur
was put into practical operation,
and since that time Louisiana has
been tho only state in the Union
having auy importance as a pro-
ducer of sulphur.
AT the present time petroleum
and sulphur constitute 80 per cent
of the states total mineral pro-
ductlon, value OF output consider
ed, the 80 per cent being nearly
equally divided between these two.
Sulphur operations are at Sulphur
City, in Calcasleu Parish. about
twelve miles west from Lake
Charles, and the production in
1911 amounted to approximately
100000 tons. Louisiapa sulphur
has practically replaced Sicilian
sulphur in the markets of the
United States, which formerly con-
sumed from 100000 tons to
100000 tons of Sicilian sulphur
annually. The influence of Lou
isiana sulphur on the Sicilian sui
phur is indicated by the fact that
in 1908 tho imports of sulphur
into the United States were valu-
ed at over $3,700,OOO. In 1911
they were valued at a little over
S550,OOO. In addition to petro-
lsum and sulphur. Louisiana is al
important producer of rock salt"
Louisiana's minerals are all prac-
tically in unlimited supply and
they add greatly to the wealth of

He crouched in the underground,
cautiously parting the bushes with
one hand to peer out down the noun
tain side. He was ragged giant of
a man, clean-limbed, yet with a
strange pallor upon his face. Upon
each wrist, too, were half healed
scars. These had been caused by
the heroic efforts which he had used
to free himself from his manacles.
But he was free at last. He had es-
capped from the state penitentiary

three weeks before and his pursuers
had never been able to discover his
secret hiding place upon Bear noun
tain.
He had heard them seeking for him
eternally; on the very day after his
escape he had come upon one of the
guards doing under a fir tree. He
had taken his rifle and then, awaken
ing him, scornfully ordered him to
depart. The. man had obeyed fear
fully, and the rife and a box of
matches had enabled the fugitive to
live, But every time he brought down
