Formerly, the head prop erty man of each theatre caused his sub ordinates to manufacture it by cutting white paper into little bits, but of late years the papermakers have supplied it in large sacks, and cut up lino by a mechan ical chopper, The snow thus prepared is so condensed that it has to be crumbled between the fingers before it can he used, j Of late’ the theatres that are illuminated ; 1)}’ the electric light have given up the ! use of paper snow, as the particles as they descend are attracted by the flame and might catch fire; moreover, under the intense white light it was scarcely visible nnd produced no effect. Various substi tutes for paper have been tried. Whale bone shavings did very well and were in expensive. costing only sixty cents a sack. But the best of all possible imitations cf snow is found to be the scraps and clip pings of kid left over from cutting out gloves. They fiont in the air, descending with very realistic slowness, and they cling visibly to the garments of the actors. These clippings are furnished to the Grand Opera by several of the leading glove houses of Paiis, and cost $2 a sack.— Paris Letter. : one w line 1 lingui.-hnl 1c from the ui!e .\i.n< : 3 of lettcriuj r.cid ti i almost >>erfc< an intrinsic value of fl.OO, leaving only 8 per cent, to cover the cost of manufac ture and the risk cf a term in prison.

While it may seem singular that the division line between animals and plants cannot be clearly traced—some forms appearing to belong to either or both kingdoms—it is still more remarkable that mineral substances should seem to be living creatures.
