FRENCH PLAYHOUSE ON BOAT
' Actors In Remarkable Theatre Are
Said to Find Their Occupa.
tlon a Pleasant One.
France lias n playhouse, built on n
bnrge, which travels from Tours to
Strasbourg. U Is k gorgeous afTnlr
painted In white nnd silver and cnlled
the "bateau-theatre," it wanders
along the canals nnd wherever It stops
the French, who linve few entertain
ments, crowd Into the Fulmlnunt to
' ee a dramatic representation. It Is
agreeable life to move leisurely by
canal and river, to stop where one
pleases, to piny to a crowded houe In
a salle, which Is always ready, to
k!vc pleasure to n whole community
and profit to oneself. The room where
the performances take place Is spac
ious enough. It holds five hundred
persons, and every one of the faut
euiilla covered In red velvet In this
blue and gold decorated hall Is oc
cupied whenever the floating theatre
casts nnclior In an out-of-the-way town.
The actors nre their own mariners.
There Is much work to he done on
hoard nny kind of hont, as nil who
hove ever helped to snl! n yacht will
agree. They all lend a hand. They
scrub the docks nnd they make the
preparations which nre constantly
cnlled for. What do they not do?
They go out shopping and Is there
nnythlng so delightful ns to shop nl
wnys In strange towns? They pre
pnre their piny bills nnd announce
their ndvent. The mere business of
noting Is only an Incident In this va
ried life.
LINKED WITH GLORIOUS PAST
Town of Stelnamanger Within, Terri
tory Once Important Part of the
Old Roman Empire.
Perhaps It wns not without deep sen
tlmentul reasons thut former Emperor
Charles of Austrlu-Hungry chute the
town of Stelnnmnnger to the Hun
gurluns, Szombnthely as a place from
which he hoped to receive the ncclulm
of his former subjects ns their returned
ruler, says a bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic society.
It has been the cherished policy of
the Hapsburg rulers of Austria-Hungary
to rejuvenate the old "Holy
Iloman Empire," the Frnnklbh and lat
er the German union which claimed
to be the heir to the power nnd over
lordship of Rome. The ufllllatlons of
whut wns Austro-Hungurlnn territory
before the World wiir, with the old
Itomun empire, were perhaps closer
through Stelnnmnnger than through
any other town. The present town Is
In the site of the Ilomnn Snbrln, which
wns the capital of one of the chief
divisions of Pnnnonln tho nnine given
by the Jtomnns to tho province which
covered the heart of modern Austria
Hungary. A "Sand-Bow."
The unusual optical phenomenon of
A rainbow produced by the sun shin
ing not on ruin-drops, but on particles
of sand suspended In the nlr by wind,
was witnessed over a pnrt of the Great
Suit Lako by some surveying parties.
The colors were very brilliant, nnd
there wns a secondary bow visible.
The main bow was fully double the
width of an ordinary rainbow. Only
u segment of It was seen. The sand
was cotltlc, consisting of calcareous
spherules of fairly uniform size, rang
ing between thu limits of No. 8 and
No. 10 shot, which nre polished nnd
exhibit n pearly luster. It Is pointed
out that the production of the how
must hnve been due to reflection from
the outer surfaces of the spherules,
nnd cannot he explained on the rule of
refraction and total reflection, gener
ally applied In tho explanation, of the
rainbow.
Selenium a Rare Element.
Selenium Is a rare and llttle-ued
element described by the United
Strifes Geological survey, Department
of the Interior, ns having Its greatest
use In giving n ted color to glass,
such as thnt used In railroads for
slgnnl lights, nnd In coloring enameled
ware red. It Is nlso used to overcome
the nutural green color of ordinary
glass. Selenium Is peculiar In being
a very poor conductor of electricity In
the dark nnd a fairly good conductor
In the light nnd Is used In several
electric Uoviccs wboe utility depends
on this peculiarity. It has been used
In telephoning along a ray of light and
In transmitting sounds and photo
graphs from one place to another nvei
n wire.
China to Have Large Mint.
One of tho lurgest mints in the
world, with a posslblo dully output of
600,000 sliver dollars, is to be erected
nt Shanghai, China, at a cost of about

American expert. When completed, in
