How to Make Artificial skies.

Sky and air are the hardest things
to initiate on the stage, but this old
problem has been solved at last Clear
sky, cloudy sky, and distance effects
are obtained by shooting light on a
very carefully built concrete dome.
The smooth white surface of the con-
crete reflects the light rays in so many
directions that they all blend. At the
same time, the light thrown on the
dome IS carefully filtered TO obtain just
the right color. The combined result
can be made to give the impression
that the roof over the stage has been
taken off to LET the sky in. Then, with
a moving-picture machine in the wings,
cloud effects may be added without
difficulty.

EFFECT OF GAS POISONING
Absorption Of Carbon Monoxide Given
by Scientist as the Real Cause
OF Death.

Breathing of furnace gas, smoke In
burning buildings, the ''after damp" Of
explosions of coal dust, etc, has
caused many deaths. Such deaths are
due to poisoning by carbon monoxide.
How this Kills is described In the Hour
nal Of the American Medical associa-
tion by Prof Yandell Henderson of
Yale university.
Carbon m0noxide has an avidity for
hemoglobin, the red coloring matter
of the blood, with which II forms the
same combination as does oxygen only
250 times as powerful. Its poisonous
effects appear to be due to the result
ing decrease in the oxygen-carrylng
power of the blood"
1t Is, however, mlsapprehension to
suppose that this combination Is per-
manent. A man brought out to the
fresh air, or, better still, to whom air
mixed with oxygen can be adminis-
tered, viii generally recover. If he
does not regain consciousness he will
die In a few days. This Is not due to
retention Of carbon monOxide by the
blood, but is the result of injury to the
brain and nervous system, due to in
sufficient oxygen supplied to the blood
while the patient was breathing the
gas.
AS a rough estimate" says Pro-
fessor Henderson, "it may be stated
that usually man will die who has
breathed 0.2 per cent Of carbon NON
oxide mixed with air which is in other
respects normal, for four or five hours,
or 0.4 per cent for one hour. With
from > to per cent of carbon mon
oxide death follows almost as quickly
as in drowning"

Hand Weaving in Mexico.

The hand-woven blankets made by
the indian girls Of Mexico, to whom a
dime a day is a good wage, although
they begin work at sunrise and labor
until sunset, are the admiration and
despair Of all who appreciate fine
handiwork or value perfect color COM
binations, the National Geographic
Magazine says. A small blanket
bought in Mexico City five years ago,
although 1t has been used as a fall
tapestry ever since, seems as bright
In every one of its rainbow colors as
the day 1t was bought. The weaving
Is so perfect that 1t has no right or

GOT IN BAD WITH FATHER
Man May Not Be Willing to Admit He
Is Slightly Deaf, but Facts
Are Against Him.

A certain East end man is growing
more and more deaf, and greatly dis
likes to admit 1t. He makes brave
pretense Of understanding what is said
to him, and this frequently entails
amusing mistakes. Not long ago a
neighbor met him and said:
Perhaps you haven't heard about
the agreeable visitor that arrived at
our house yesterday--a fine baby boy
- perfect cherub?'
The deaf man smiled pleasantly and
replied.
"Oh, we have lots OF 'em at our
house. My wife gets them by the
bushel. Stews EN-, you know, and
puts em up. She put up more than
forty pots last summer. Yes, indeed"
"Why" said the bewildered neigh
Dor, what do you think l said?r
"Yes, she likes the red kind best"
continued the, afflicted citizen. Says
they amt so tough. Is yours the
black sort?"
"Sir!" cried the indignant neighbor.
"What are you talking about?"
The deaf man heard this.
"Why, cherries, of course" he pleas
antly remarked. "That's what you
said, isn't it?'
But the neighbor walked away with

their children contract. The inflam-

that is seldom cured and that may
provae a life's burden. Many persons

That aquatic birds should delight In

men hurried to the spot.
A few minutes later Seventh Avenue

SUPER.U.BOAT CLEW

Tug Not Waiting to Tow Myste-

Norfolk, Va. June 29.-One Of the
numerous clews to the whereabouts OF
the mysterious German super-subma-
rine, which has been reported as being
seen at a score of points along the At
lantic seaboard during the last week,
vanished in thin air tonight.
Captain Zach Cullson, of the tug
Thomas f. Timmins, who had been re-
ported as lowering about the mouth Of
Chesapeake Bay awaiting an oppor-
tunity to tow the undersea craft to
Baltimore, laughed at the story and
said that he was engaged in the inno-
cent pastime of waiting for anything
foatable that desired to be towed back
TO the other end Of the bay.
Detailed stories concerning the sup
posed whereabouts OF the submarine,

peace proposals it is supposed to be

dent. failed TO impress the captain.
Moreover, they didn't succeed in max

men. and for that reason the trans
Atlantic submarine threatens TO go the
way of so many other promising sea
stories.
