TRICKS OF THE DRAMA.
Brander Matthews’ Comments on the Vie
of the Stage Whisper.
It is an indisputable necessity of
the acted drama that the performers
shall so pitch their voices as to be
heard all over the house and that
they shall so place themselves on
the stage as to keep their faces visi
ble from all parts of the theater.
These are both deviations from or
dinary usage, since common sense
tells us that a man does not discuss
his private affairs in tones to be
heard by a thousand people, and the
doctrine of probabilities assures us
that only a quarter of the time
would a couple face toward any
given point of the compass.
Even when two characters alone
on the stage whisper together, not
to be overheard by other characters
supposed to be in the next room,
they can but pretend to lower their
voices, since what they say must be
audible to the audience, or else why
say it? Many a critic, accustomed
to blank verse and to the absence of
the fourth wall of a room and to a
hundred other conventions he blind
ly accepts, unconscious that they,
too, are out of nature, has refused
to legitimate the “stage whisper,”
the “aside” and the “soliloquy,”
holding them to be a little too fla
grantly unreal. It is not to be denied
that the aside and the soliloquy are
labor saving devices, which some
dramatists have worked hard. The
easy convenience of soliloquy, by
means of which a tortuous character
can undeceive the audience while
taking in the other personages of
the play, has been too tempting to
many a playwright. The conscien
tious dramatist has tended of late to
get along without the aside and the
soliloquy. The younger Dumas and
Ibsen and Mr. William Gillette (in
“Secret Service”) have proved that
it is perfectly possible to eschew
them both. Here the later play
wright holds to a higher standard of
technic than the earlier, just as
Moliere made us perceive Tartuffe’s
evil purpose without a single self
explanatory aside, while Shake
speare had allowed lago to unbosom
himself freely to the audience in the
intervals of his hideous machina
tions. After all, what is the con
ventiorf underlying the soliloquy?
It is that Hamlet, for example, is a
man in the habit of thinking aloud
when alone. Few of us would refuse
to sign this agreement at the cost of
losing “To be or not to be.” Few
of us, on the other hand, fail to
think that the permission is strained
when we find Romeo overhearing
Juliet’s soliloquy on the balcony.
Moliere took this license as well as
Shakespeare, for in “L'Ecole des
Femmes” the Notary overhears the
soliloquy of Arnolphe.—Brander
Matthews in Scribner’s.
LAKE SUPERIOR.
Interesting Facts About the Largest Body
of Fresh Water In the World.
“The Great Lakes” is the title of
an article in St. Nicholas, written by
W. S. Harwood. Concerning Lake
Superior, Mr. Harwood says:
It is, to begin with, the largest
body of fresh water in the world.
It is water of wonderful purity
which it holds, too, and sometime—
and in the not very distant future
either—the people who live in the
large cities to the west and south
will come to this lake to get the wa
ter for their homes. It will not be
so remarkable an engineering feat
to pipe the water of this lake, pure
and sparkling and fresh from its
cold depths, to these cities which are
now struggling with the question of
their water supply and meeting all
sorts of difficulties in their efforts to
get water fit to drink.
All down through this 1,000 feet
®f blue there is a peculiar coldness.
At the very most, the temperature
varies through winter and summer
not more than six degrees. Winter
and summer this great lake never
changes to any appreciable extent,
so that if you dip your finger tips in
the blue surface on a day in July, or
if you test it some day in early win
ter when you have been out on some
belated, ice mailed fishing smack, or
when you have gone out to watch
the fishermen spearing their sup
plies through the thick ice in mid-
January, you will find but a trifling
difference in the temperature. Away
down at the bottom, too, there is but
little variation in the temperature,
for it stands at nearly 40 degrees F.
at the bottom and varies from 40 to
46 degrees, winter and at
the surface. The other lakes, though
cold, are not in this respect like Su
perior.
The whole bottom of the lake is
believed to be a strong rock basin,
though it would seem that there
must be great springs at the bottom
to help keep up the enormous vol
ume of water. From the north there
is a large amount of water pouring
into the lake year in and year out,
the swift rushing, narrow banked
Nipigon and other streams furnish
ing no small part of the supply.
These streams in a large measure
make up the loss from the surface.
One of the old lake t 'plains, a
bronzed, kindly faced man who had
been for 35 years on the lakes and
had faced death many a time in the
frightful storms which sometimes
sweep across these beautiful bodies
of water, told me, as we were pass
ing along one day near the north
coast of Superior, with the head
lands and inlets and glossy green
bluffs of that most picturesque shore
in full view’, that the theory that the
lake was slowly going down in size
was true. He maintained that he
could tell from certain landmarks
along the shores, with which he is
as familiar as he would be with the
streets of his old Scottish birthplace,
that the lake was slowly, very slow
ly. but surely receding. However.
•OO Per Annum in Advance.
it will be some centuries yet neiore
there will be any appreciable lessen
ing of the great lakes, so that we
need not be concerned.
Strange as it may seem, the lake
has tides, too—well defined tides—
discovered in 1860. It is what is
called a self registering tide, with a
regular flux and reflux wave, caused,
so the scientific men say, by the sun
and moon. The average rise and
fall every 24 hours is one fourteen
hundredth of a foot. The maximum
tide at new and full moon is one
twenty-eight-hundredth of a foot.
ARTIFICIAL INDIGO.
One of India's Industries Imperiled by
Recent Discoveries.
Chemical experiments which had
in view the production of artificial
indigo, and which, consequently,
threatened to extinguish a great
East Indian industry, have been in
progress for years, but they have
only recently reached a stage
Where this product can be obtained
cheaply enough to compete with the
old article commercially. There was
a time when, in central Germany, a
large quantity of indigo was manu
factured from a home grown plant.
But for some reason the indigo plant
of East India yielded a much larger
proportion of dye than this one, and
after a century or two, in spite of
protective legislation and the prom
ises of European manufacturers to
use only the domestic indigo, the
Germans abandoned the further pro
duction of the latter. It now looks
as if East India were about to expe
rience a similar fate. At the present
time her indigo industry yields her
several millions of dollars. She fur
nishes the calico printers of the
whole world with dye stuff.
Chemistry has found it a much
easier task to take a substance apart
than to put it together again. Count
less essences and extracts have been
analyzed, and their exact composi
tion learned. Careful lists have been
made, showing the precise propor
tion in which the atoms of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen go together
in these compounds. But when the
chemist attempts to build up one of
these substances from its elements
he often discovers that they won’t
combine. Already several perfumes
of flowers have been exactly imitat
ed by this method, and 30 years ago,
after 45 years of experiment, a cheap
way of getting the coloring princi
ple of madder, a beautiful red dye,
out of coal tar was found. Since that
time it has not been profitable to
raise the madder plant. The possi
bility of man’s putting together the
ingredients which nature employs in
making the essential pftrt of indigo;
and in precisely the same propor
tions, was demonstrated a long time
ago. And “synthetic chemistry”
has since been studying the problem
es cheapening the process, so that it
might be placed on a commercial
basis.
A German house, the Badische
Anitin and Soda Fabrik, of Lud
wigshafen-on-the-Rhine, has placed
on the market an almost pure indigo
blue at a price so very near that of
the East Indian article that a for
midable competition is at last threat
ened. It should be observed that the
indigo plant yields, in addition to
the blue principle (indigo tin) a red
dye.
The manufacturing chemists have
thus far got only the blue dye. More
over, it is alleged that the system of
treating the East Indian plant now
in vogue does not extract all of ei
ther principle which exists there.
Improved methods of manufacture
may perhaps cheapen the natural
article a little more. It is too soon,
therefore, to predict the* complete
downfall of the indigo business of
the east. But it is certainly in great
er peril today than ever before.—
New York Tribune.
NATURE’S COMPASS SIGNS.
How It Is That the Woodman Is Able to
Always Tell Directions.
The many different methods to
determine the cardinal points while
on the mountains, in both heavy
timber and small bush, or upon the
featureless expanse of a great marsh
are exceedingly numerous and reli
able enough for all practical pur
poses during an everyday life in the
bush unless a very long journey is
to be made, which would require a
number of days and would make it
necessary to hold on a very fine
point while making so long a dis
tance.
We will first take notes on the
coniferous trees —pines, firs, spruce,
cedars, hemlocks, etc. The bark of
these is always lighter in color,
harder and drier on the south side
of the tree, while it is in color much
darker, is also damper and often
covered with mold and moss on the
north side. The gum that oozes out
from the wounds, knotholes, etc., is
usually hard and often of beautiful
amber color on the south side, while
on the northern side it remains
sticky longer and gets covered with
insects and dirt, seldom drying out
to more than a dirty gray in color.
In large trees that have rough
bark, especially during the fall and
winter months, the nests and webs
of insects, spiders, etc., will always
be found in the crevices on the south
side. A preponderance of the large
branches will also be found on the
warmest or southern side of the
trees. Also, the needles of all the
above mentioned trees are shorter,
drier and of a yellowish green on
the southern side, while they will
be found longer, more slender and
pliable, damper to the touch and
darker green in color on the north
side. The cedars and hemlocks, as
if trying to outdo the others, al
ways bend their slender tops of new
growth toward a southern sky.
The hard wood trees are equally
communicative and have all the
NUMBER 38
characteristics, as tar as regards
their trunks, as the coniferous treds
except the absence of gums, but
this is more than made up by the
fungous growth of mold and mosses
that is very noticeable on the north
side of these trees.
The edges of rocks, which may be
part of stupendous mountains or
merely occasional cropping out heiie
and there in the woods, or perhaps
some great bowlder alone by itself,
a silent witness of the glacial pe
riod, all alike testify to the effect of
light and shade. The sunny side
will usually be bare, or at most
boast of a thin growth of harsh, dry
kinds of mosses that will only grolv
when having the light, while ttie
northern side will be found damp
and moldy and often covered with a
luxuriant growth of soft, damp
mosses that love the shade, while
every crevice will bear aloft beauti
ful and gracefully waving ferns.
The forest floor on the sunny side
of hills, ridges, clumps of trees,
bushes, big rocks, etc., is more noisy
under the football than on the
northern side of such places, where
the dead leaves and litter are soft
and damp, holding more moisture
than in places exposed to the light
of the sum
In an open country nearly void <|>f
timber clumps of small bushes dur
ing summer will furnish all the con
ditions found to exist among the
leaves of the trees, being equally
sensitive to light and shade as are
the monarchs of the woods. The
landscape, green with moving
grasses and beautiful to the eye,
which feasts on the countless num
bers of wild flowers, representing
every form and hue known in the
flowery kingdom, also furnishes a
reliable guide for locating the cardi
nal points, as most wild flowers, es
pecially the long stemmed varieties,
hide their faces from the north and,
like the sunflower, turn toward a
southern sky.—Forest and Stream.
Young Head, Old Shoulders.
Apropos of our reference to the
German emperor’s notion of placing
a young head on old shoulders in
the case of an ancient headless
statue, a correspondent writes,point
ing out that tradition asserts the
same thing to have been done with
the equestrian figure now represent
ing King Charles II in Parliament
square, Edinburgh, which by the
irony of fate is erected close to the
grave of John Knox. He says, “The
story runs that this work—in which
the horseman is represented in Ro
man military attire and which, I be
lieve, is cast in lead—was brought
a foreign skipper
Whr> had got hold of it by some
means or other unknown, was pur
chased, decapitated (strange course
in view of the death of King Charles
I) and then had a head of the merry
monarch put on instead.”—London
News.
Meat In London.
It is asserted that if no American
meat were imported into the London
market for two days the price of all
kinds of meat would go up, and that
if the American supply were entire
ly cut off famine prices would soon
be in force, so large is the quantity
consumed.
Effect of Age on the Eyes. ;
The following are some of the ef
fects of age upon the eyes: The cor
nea takes the form of a border ring
of whitish tissue, the cause
the fatty degeneration of the sur
rounding parts of the cornea. The
strength of sight decreases with afce
until it becomes difficult to distin
guish small objects placed close jo
the eyes. This, however, may be in
a great measure remedied by the use
of suitable spectacles. Cataract, al
though frequently accompanying
old age, is by no means a necessary
consequence of it. In youth the lens
is perfectly transparent and color
less. After the thirtieth year it be
gins to acquire a pale yellow tint,
and as age advances this becomes
more pronounced until it is finally
transformed into a deep ambdr.
These changes in the normal trans
parency coincide with a failing in
nutrition, but their progress is not
accompanied by loss of sight. When
a total loss of nutrition ensues, how
ever, the lens becomes quite opaque,
and the operation •for removal,
which has been brought to such per
fection in late years, becomes neces
sary.—New York Ledger.
Stuff That Made Him Go.
While a drove of bullocks were
being driven through an Irish village
from a fair one of the animals sud
denly stopped and, notwithstanding
all the efforts of the drover, would
not move on its way.
A chemist who happened to see
the affair went up to the bullock
and injected a drug down its throdt,
which made the animal career down
the street like greased lightning.
About five minutes afterward the
drover entered the chemist’s shop
wiping the perspiration off his head
and asked the shopman if he were
the party who gave the bullopk
some medicine.
“I am,” said the chemist.
“Well, ” said the drover, “I’ll take
a pennyworth of it, as I have to fol
low the baste.”—Pearson's Weekly.
The Usufruct.
“I’m willing,” said the authqr,
“to admit that I borrowed a few of
the ideas that I use in that work.
It's legitimate to borrow. ” |
“Yes,” replied the cynical ac
quaintance, “but the difficulty ;is
that in this loan the wrong man
gets the benefit of the interest.
