VALUE or STEAM.


Puck: Steam is water that has gon.
crazy with heat. II was first discovered
for exhibition purposes by James Watt
"A Scotch youth. Being Scotch. Jane:
could not bear TO see anything wasted
lie therefore attempted TO save the
steam by plugging up the snout and
wiring down the lid of his grandmoth
er's kettle. The explosion which re
more of a punch than IL had generally
been credited with.
As result Of this experiment James
decided to discover the steam engine
and did so.
Since then the world has seen the in.
vention Of the steamboat. the steam
whistle. the steam laundry, the steam
radiator. the steam roller and Theodore
Roosevelt. all OF which depend upon
steam for their motive power.
Everything which has any connection
with steam is distinguished for the
large amount of noise which IL makes.
All steam-driven mechanisms. from the

a manner as TO madden delicately con.

Notwithstanding this fact. steam has

OF the world. II it were not for steam
commuters who live from five to twenty
miles from the city would have to walk
in and out of town every day. and would
thus have to devote all their time TO
walking and none to working
Furthermore, ocean steamships would
be impossible. and any one who wanted
to get a letter to Europe in anything
like decent time would have TO hire
somebody to swim over with il.
There are times when everybody gets
disgusted with steam. When. during
cold snap. the noon express arrives at
$40 p. m. or when the radiator becomes
as cold as the ice box of a refrigerator
just as the guests are ready TO sit down
to "A game of cards--at such times as
these. one wonders whether the great
discovery of James Watt wasn't all in
vain.
All things considered, however steam
gives very fair satisfaction; and IL is
probable that 1t will not be replaced by

Audience Goes to Sea
In Farce, "Mary's Ankle"

One Of the most effective sets seen
on the New York stage this season
is the. third act Of "Mary's Ankle" {"
the brilliant farce comedy by May
Tullyfi which A. II. Woods win pre-
sent at the Belasco Theater during
the week Of November %. This act
takes place on the deck of a steamer
at its New York pier. Al the end Of
the act the steamer Is supposed to
leave the pier and steam down the
North River to sea. OF course the
deck of the steamer remains sta
uonary. but moving the back drop
gives the audience a sense of motion.
As the skyscrapers of lower New
York are painted on the drop, a per-
son in the audience almost feels that
he Is sailing down the river. And
when the steamer is supposed to
reach the ocean. a wave machine be-
hind the scenes creates the illusion
of white caps.
