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. Washington Star. Close Resemblance.
