Although the ghost is no longer the
main feature and attraction of stage
representation, as II was fifty or
sixty years ago, 1t Is still an impor-
tsnt character, said the manager or
a theatre the other day. In very
small theatres, where stage mechan-
les are conspicuous by their absence,
ghosts are often as solid and I'M
realistic as they were in the days of
John Kemble and Mrs. Jordan, and
1t is not unusual for the ghost OIL
Hamlet's father to be attired IN a
suit of real armor. One such ap-
partition tripped up while coming up
on the stage, and, falling down with
a very metallic thud, rolled slowly
toward the footlights, causing a pitite

don Tit-Bits.
The spooks that haunt the London
stages today are fairly realistic,
and when Sir Herbert Tree produced
Macbeth" at His Majesty's Theatre
the other year he gave his audience
ghosts which were really vaporous
and unearthly, gliding, transparent,
mysterious. Macbeth wilted in ter
ror at the appearance of Banquo s
spook, and every one declared that
the entrance and general "get-up' OF
this member of the spirit Worlu was
the most ingenious and impressive
ever seen at a theatre.
l think il was Charles Kean who
first resorted to illusion to make a
stage ghost little transparent
When he produced Macbeth at the
did Princess Theatre he manufac-
tured a contrivance which allowed
Banouo's ghost to appear through a
+rausoare rent column.
Later on, when Mrs. Ann Radcliftes
Romance of the Forest was staged
at Covent Garden Theatre, those re-
sponsible for its production arranged
that the spook in the piece should be
seen by the audience through a
gauze or bluish-gray color, SO that
the too corporal effect of a live actor
might be removed. Toilet, the clown,

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

, ings should be ninety per cent OF
the rate on the land, and every year
thereafter the rate on buildings
would be reduced ten per cent. until
it should be half the rate on the value
of the land without improvements.
The provision of the bill that Is the
most appalling to the whole property
class and excites the most frantic op-
position would submit the question
to the people next fall without per-
hitting the legislature to pass upon
the merits of the scheme itself.
As this is the first occasion, ac-
cording to our observation, when the
new Progressive party in any State
whatever has taken up the single
tax crusade, the developments must
command attention. 1t is improb-
able that the issue in New York city,
where the land is now worth five
billion dollars, although it was once
bought from the Indians for $25, will
be determined by popular referen-
dunn right away. But the question
merits earnest consideration, and
some time will get it.
Changes In Our Machine shops.
From the American Machinist.
The time was when almost any
body in the shop, except the boys,
would run any new machine tool
brought in The idea of sending for
a demonst rator or calling upon the
builder of the machine for help never
entered anyone's mind The sturdy
native independence of every one
was opposed to this. No one was
willing to admit that he couldn't run
any machine that the other fellow
could build.
But times change, and it almost
seems as If the men in the shop had
changed. 1t is common thing to-
day to send for a representative of a
machine tool building firm, even on
the most trivial pretext. Operators
have been sent hundreds of miles to
find nothing to do but tighten a driv-
ing belt or replace an insignificant
helical spring, or point out to the SUI
perintendent that he was falling to
get production because of poor crane
service. Expensive machine tools
have been found stuck because of
lack of oil in important bearings. In
others an attempt has been made to
feed heavy grease through a long
small pipe intended to convey thin
spindle oil: the present day operator
believed that the brass oil cup was
a compression grease cup. Instances
of this kind might be multiplied.
They plainly show both lack of care
of the machines and an unwilling
ness to find out the cause of ones
own trouble and apply the obvious
remedy.

After Crude OIL, Coal oil.

From the Philadelphia RECORD.
All experience in the exploration
and development of petroleum bear
ing lands indicates the probability of
such future decrease Of supply as will
compel resort TO some substitute that
will as nearly as possible make good
the loss of what has become in the
last fifty years a worldwide neces-
sity. The tremendous present output
of petroleum is only maintained by
new development of new territory.
AS old fields fail new ones have been
tapped. But it Is manifest that the
present rate of production cannot
be indefinitely maintained. When the
crude oil fails We shall have to go
back TO coal oil.
1t is the probability of such con-
tingency in the not distant future
that has caused hesitation among the
great naval powers in the Substitu-
ton of oil for coal as a source OF
fuel and motive power for war ships.
The fact that an adequate substitute
oil supply may be artiflcially obtained
by the extraction of oil from bitumi-
nous oil-bearlng shales has not been
overlooked. The United States have
a vast spread of bituminous shales of
oil-bearing quality capable of yield
ing from ten to sixty gallons of oil
per ton, with valuable fertilizing ma
terial as a by-product. In Alaska,
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Ne
vada are extensive beds of shale from
which millions OF barrels of oil could
be put in our markets to meet the
demand
1t is intimated in a late report of
the geological survey that especial
interest attaches to the deposits of
oil shale in the United States be-
cause of the recognition by Great
Britain of the value of such deposits,
and the reported purchase last year
by the British admiralty of a large
tract of oil-bearing shale in New
Brunswick, to be used exclusively as
a source of supply for the British
navy. England has near home
supply in the Scottish shale deposits
estimated to be capable of yearly
oAtput of 100000 tons of fuel oil for
the next $50 years.

There is chamber in my brain,
From which hear song
So sweet, so pure, oft remain
A listener all night long.
I've never seen the singers face;
The door | may not ope;
Yet out and in my soul doth race
And bids me toll and hope.
Enough if do never know
The face of her who sings;
If only everywhere | go
Her song its message brings.
Enough il now and then light
From out that room doth shine;
If only in the ways of night
