Edwin Booth once told a little cum- < pany of his iutimatss that tbs moat ro mantic, memorable and delightful en gagement that he .ever played In his • lift was one lu which he was obliged to put* his own bills. It was In the early years of his ca reer, long before his fanums hundred nights’ run of “Hamlet” at the Whiter Garden In New York, and at a time when romunco and enthusiasm were t atlU young In hU heart. Ho had played with varying success In many parts of tils country, Journeying even to San Francisco and the few. camps In the gold bearing country that were large enough to sui>ply him with audiences. Hero he had done so well that he felt encouraged to try his fortune In still remoter climes and accordingly cm-, barked from the Holden Gate for the Hawaiian Islands, where, In the Hono lulu theater and under the direct pat ronage of the dark brown royalty that then held sway, he played an engage-' meut to which he looked back In after years with much pleasure and satit- * faction. “But after the play was over.’* said Booth, “I found It mH-essary to climb down from the high plane of art to common ground and la Ice steps to an nounce my. repertory to the public. This was done almost entirely by way _ of posters, and 1 could not trust the Job to the native boys, because they al ways ate tin* paste ami threw away the bills.

He takes the support of the Jar and pushes It forward In full view of the students. The change occur:; almost fnstauta- ooously The cat takes a rich orange color on which black transversal stripe* rapidly paint themselves. The cat has become a tiger The whole transformation is pro duced by emanations of hydrogen sul phide. which Is generated in the jar Itself without any visible apparatus.

A few decigrams of pulverized sulphide of Iran folded in a piece of blotting paper are deposited behind the cat on tJ»o elevated side of the bottom of the Jar. Two or three cubic centimeters of di lute^ sulphuric ncVd are dropped with o pipette on the opposite side. Whct> the performer wlslu*s the transforma tion to take place he takes the wooden support and pushes It forward as If he wanted everybody to eee better what Is going to happen. By so doing he suppresses the slight Inclination which kept the Iron sulphide beyond the reach of the sulphuric ackl. The gas Is evolved, and the formation of the orange sulphide of antimony and Mack sulphide of lead takes place In h tew seconds. -G. Michaud In Scientific American. -f, MOVING IN PORTUGAL.
