burnt umber play an important part;
and tlie lights are put in with white
slightly  tinged with   emerald  green.
The strong moonlight of the foreground
is produced by a calcium light thrown
through a  green glass.     Tho  fainter
light upon tho scenery at the back of |
the stage is obtained from " green mediums "—a row of argand burners with
green chimneys.   These are placed upon
the stage just in front of the main scene,
and are " masked in " from the view of
tho audience by a " ground piece,"   A
row of  them is often suspended from
the " flies," in order to light the top of
the scene.   This upper row is
in by  "sky borders."   Thus  a  soft
green light is thrown over tho entire distance, while its source does not meet
tha view of the spectator.   A usual feature of stage moonlight scones is water,
because it affords  an opportunity for
tho   introduction    of    the   "ripple"

Many of the peculiar effects produced
Up in the htafre, imitating moonlight,
sunlight, thunder, wind, rain and other
natural phenomena, are a pur/le to those
outside of the business. How such realistic representations of tln.se things as
r>re often witnessed upon the stage can
ie made is a tpiestion that often enters
the mind of the spectator, and-is seldom
miKwered in a salisfaet i'v manner, lt
is always the ambition of scene painters
nnd stage carpenters to devise improved
methods of imitating tht se things, and
tieiice the stage may bo said to try to
."hold the minor up tt) nature in a material, as well as a moral sense. Authors, in writing plays, aro always on
the loiiitmu f<ir au opportunity to produce a telling effect. The amount of
work hi stowed ujirn their production in
a tin ater is simply astonishing to those
•iinncipiainted witii that mysterious realm
known as "behind tho scenes."
Thunder is a common stage effect,
and is used with great advantage in
many plays. In former days it was
produced by shaking; a large piece of
shtvt-ir. 111 hiuig immediately above th.
pr mptirVt des!;. Thi'i contrivance pro-
Miici-il a good imitation of sharp, rat-
fling thunder, but failed to give the dull
r.i.tr wliich is always heard in storms. A
'ouitrivance for tliis purpose was soon
invented. A heavy box fr-ituo is made,
and over it is ti;;htly drawn a c.ilt skin.
Upon this the prompter operates with a
slick, tine ei.d of which is padded ttu.l
covered with chamois il'.in. A flash of
lightning, produced with magnesium,
and a sharp crack of thc sheet-iron, followed by a long decreasing roll upon
the "thunder drum," produces an effect
which is startlingly realistic. Traveling companies are compelled to be satisfied with tlio sheet-iron alone; and the

A fiuffieiently-good one, however, is Jloourise, in a scene where ihere is no

hoop is obt'.iinel, and a .lie.-t of brown'
paper is pasted on it utter the manner of
a circus-rider's balloon. A handful of
bird-shot i-. placed upon the paper.
The "machine " is canted from one sido
to the other, and the shot rolls around
the paper, producing a fairly-good rain
effect.
Wind is an item that is very useful in
heightening the effect of stage storms.
It is often dispensed with in the iters
wliere strict attention is not paid to details, but not without n loss of "realism." It has, moreover, a great influence over the feelings of spectators.
The wind machine is constructed hi this
taanner. A heavy framo is made, in
wiiich is set a cylinder provided with
paddles, and resembling very much the
stern-wheels seen on Ohio river tow-
boats. Across tha top of this cylinder
is stretched as tightly as possible apiece
of heavy gros-grain "silk. This silk remains stationary while tho wheel is
turned by a crank. The rapid passage
of the paddles across tho surface of the
silk produces the noise of wind. Often
traveling companies are in theaters
whero there is no wind machine. Then

A Big Rat-Killer. j
i    Vnclo Aaron lived near Hartford, and 1
1 was a matter-of-fact man.    His bam and j
1 out-houses fairly swarmed with rats, aud j
1 uncle Aaron was telling a friend from
1 another town who was visiting at hia '
house how he was troubled by rats and j
how he had seen a hundred at least at a
j time.    The fri-nd laughingly told him a '
i hundred was a good mauy rats, and bog- j
1 gcd to take off a few. J
Uncle Aaron replied to the effect that ',
j lie was fixing a trap,  aud if his friend
j would wait a few days ho would convince
i him he was not lying. i
'     "All right," itiiswered his friend;  "if
you will catch any win re near a hundred,
just let me know."
Uncle Aaroi, ton, said:    "Allright," ,
adding:   ''111 let you know."
When his friend started for home the
lust tiling he said was: "Be sure and
let me know how many rats you catch.
A hundred is a good many."
The trap uncle Atu'on was at work on
was a sort of platform almost as large as
a big barn door, acd the plan was to
weight it wilh heavy socks, raise one end
about three feet from the lloor, and havo
• it so rigged that the pull of a string ;
would spring it and l?t it fall to the Iltxir,

Every one has heard the startling crash
that is'produced when the hero kicks
the villain Uirough a four-inch oaken
door. One woidd think that not only
the door but the villain must be. completely shattered. This noise iB produced by the crash machine, ono of the
oldest implements of imitation still
used on the stage. It is similar to the
wind machine in construction. A wheel
with paddles set at an angle of about
forty-five degrees to the radii is the main
part of the mnchine. Upon tho top of
the wheel one end of a stout piece of
wood is pressed down by fastening tho
other end to a portion of the frame-work.
When tho wheel is turned, the slats
passing uuder the stationary pieM i>ro-
duco a rattling crash. Tho principle of
tho machine is illustrated by the Bmall
boy who runs a stick along a paling
fence and is gratified by introducing
into the world an additional morsel of
hubbub.

The Fenians.
These people, if we believe the early
historians so far as to allow them an historical existence, were a body of Irish
militia, forming a kind of standing army,
which was employed to defend tho coasts
of Ireland from tho invasion of foreign
' foes. They wero billeted upon the inhabitants during winter, and obliged to
maintain themselves by hunting and
fishing during summer. Each of the
four provinces had its own band of thesa
warriors or champions, but Leinsterwas
the most fortunate province in incorporating distinguished names in the list of
its Fenians. Pingal himself was ono of
the illustrious band, which included also the ever-memorable Ossian. When
St Patrick came to Ireland, Ossian narrated to the Apostle of Ireland the exploits of the valiant Fenians. The
record of their conversation, which is
still extant, is called the Dialogue of the
Sages; but it seems that the saint and
the bard, sage as they both were, wero
sometimes on the point of quarreling.
Our readers may remember the version
of an ancient Ossianio poem which, according to Sir Walter Scott, Hector
Mclntyre gave to his undo, the antiquary. St. Patrick there complains that
his devotional meditations and psalms
are disturbed by the old women's tales
of Ossian; and Ossian, annoyed at tho
implied comparison of psalms to the
tales of the bare-armed Fenian, declares
in no measured terms that he_ should
think it no great harm to wring the
stunt's bald head from his shoulders.

Tho Possibilities of American Wheat.
Speaking of our gigantic crops of
wheat, the American Miller remarks
that few people, even iu our own country,
realize how inexhaustible our resources
are for wheat growing. The total area
of lands available for wheat culture in
tho United States is not less than 470,-
000,000 acres. Onr entire wheat crop of
tho past year would not supply seed
enough to'sow so vnst an area of land.
