STAGE LIGHTS.
Their Various tes and the Names
by Which They Are KncWn.
Lights play an important part on ft
the stage of the nwdern theater, and it
they have many us'es. The spot light, G
for instance, is employed to cast a cir- i
cle of light upon the stage where a sin
gle person is to be brought into espe- E
cial prominence. It consists of an arc
electric light inclosed in a cylindrical h
hood about the diameter of a stove
pipe and provided at the open end r
with a condenser lens for the purpose tl
of concentrating the rays upon a small
area.
A flood light is an arc in a rectangu
lar box painted white upon the inside di
to serve as a reflector. It is supposed f3
to flood the stage with light; hence its _
name.
Bunch lights are clusters of gas or
incandescent lights either arranged a
within a reflector or exposed naked. iu
They are used back of a scene behind B
doorways, where light is needed off a
the stage to represent the illumina
tion of that part of a dwelling not e1
shown. For the same purpose "strip" tc
lights are used-rows of incandescent
lights fastened to a strip of wood pro- e
.vided with a hook, by which it may
be hung to the back of a scene when b
required. in
"Side" lights are incandescent lights
arranged on either side of the prosce
nium arch. Sometimes they are built:
within the arch or they are arranged
to be swung outward when the cur- B
tan is raised. bi
The footlights are familiar to all,
and the "border" lights are those hung sZ
over the stage directly above the seen-,
ery. shutting off the top of the stage. h
These are arranged in a trough like an G
inverted "U" to cast their light down
upon the stage. These are practically
all of the lights used upon the stage of
a house, though magic lanterns are
employed at times for the simulation
of water effects, moonlight ripples and
lightning. The old fashioned calcium,
using the oxyhydrogen gas, is so sel
dom employed ii the modern theater
as to call for no comment. te

A Home Thrust. b
There is a good story told about the
late Hlenry Bergh. While walking Ve:
about the streets of New York city one
morning he saw a teamster whipping a B.
balky horse.
"Stop that, yen brute," he exclaimed,
"or I'll have you locked up inside of
fve minutes! Why don't you try kind
ness on the animal? Don't you sup
pose a horse can be reached by a kind
word the same as a human being?"
"I b'lieve ye're right, sor," replied
the teamster, a quick witted Jrishman,4
who, with all his faults of temper, was
not a bad man at heart, "an' if a harse
has feelin's, sor, don't ye s'pose his
dhriver has too? Thry a koind wor-rd
on the dhriver, if ye pl'ase."
The stern face of Mr. Bergh relaxed
into a sniile, and in the better under
standing that followed the horse for
got that it was balking and started off

A Scathing Retort.
An English lawyer who had been
cross examining a witness for some
time and who had sorely taxed the pa
tience of the judge, jury and every
one in the court was finally asked by
the court to conclude his cross exam
iaton. Before telling the witness to,
stanu1 down he accosted him with this
parting sarcasm:
"Ah, you're a clever fellow-a very
lever fellow. We can all see that."
The witness leaned over from the
box and quietly retorted:
"I would return the compliment if I
were not on oath."-"Personalia."
