HE illusions ol
stageciaft are
constantly a
marvel to those
before the cur
tain Despite
newspaper and
magazine arti
cles showing the
manufacture ol
thunder gallop
ing horses and
other effects
that have been so plentifully exposed
by illustrations the public still views
them with awe and enthusiasm
Probably the premier among stage
illusions is Claude L Ilagen who con
structed the stage of the New theater
New York and is technical director ol
all its effects Mr Ilagens career has
been a long one and a catalogue of his
achievements reads like a procession
of theatrical reminiscences to almost
any playgoer of the present day
For instance Mr Ilagen was the in
ventor of many of the tricks and illu
sions used by Alexander Herrmann
the first of the celebrated trio of magi
cians of that name Then there were
the sumptuous productions of Cleo
patra and Gismonda by Fanny
Davenport Afterward Mr Hagen was
connected with the theatrical syndicate
that produced Ben Hur for which
he invented the world famous chariot
race scene Later Mr Hagen pro
duced this at the Drury Lane theater
In London where it scored an immedi
ate success So great was the en-
j thusiasm that Mr Hagen was given
the singular honor of being the only
man in his line of business during the
CLAUDE Ij UAGEV
houses 140 years of history who had
been forced to appear before the cur
tain in response to the demands of the
audience to personally show their ap
proval of the wonderful mechanism
that spelled success for the Lew Wal
lace dramatization
Then being overworked Mr Ilagen
thought he would try something light
er and emigrated to Coney Island
As a result of this change of base the
famous fire spectacle entitled Fight
ing the Flames appeared and has
since been seen from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Then came the call to the
New theater the contribution of the
artistic wealthy to the cleansing of the
drama with its opportunity for strug
gling playwrights
With such a theatrical record it
would seem as if Mr Ilagen must
have been literally born on the stage
Instead he Is a native of Chicago and
spent his boyhood in Minneapolis
Philadelphia and Kansas City arriv
ing at the Missouri burg in 1871
when to use his own words the town
was practically a brickyard But
he entered the theatrical business
there and erected several theaters for
capitalists during his stay Then he
began his wanderings which have car
ried him all over the United States
and into some foreign countries as
well
One of tho best of the specimens of
the Hagen handicraft at the New the
ater is the revolving stage probably
unsurpassed in America if not all oth
er countries as well The idea is not
claimed as original by Mr nagen who
said in explaining its workings
The first revolving stage was in use
during the sixteenth century by the
Japanese It was merely a round
turntable Since then various modifi
cations have been devised Tho stage
of the New theater is a distinct type
Inasmuch as it revolves moves back
ward and forward or transversely and
up and down as a whole or in parts
It also permits sections of the trans
verse stage to be dropped and the rest
of the sections to be opened so as to
form sinks or cuts through which to
lower whole sections
This stage enables us to reduce to
a minimum the tima between scenes

HUMOROUS INCIDENT IN NEW
YORK STREET CAR
Twinkling Eyed Old Irishwoman Got
Her Transfer Regardless of the
Companys Rules What She
Wanted It For
When the street railway companies
in New York posted notices that pas
sengers desiring transfers must ask
for them at the time of paying fare or
otherwise forfeit right to receive them
of course people constantly forgot The
troubles of the street car employes
were materially increased thereby
except in occasional Instances The
conductor on an Amsterdam avenue
car was one day accosted by a quaint
little twinkling eyed old woman who
demanded her thransfer
You should have asked me when
you paid he objected
Sure but I thried to do ut me
bhoy she said her innate friendli
ness overflowing In a smile but ye
wuz that quick n lolveiy yed
sthepped off befure I cud say a

The conductors evidently reserved
the right to make exceptions This
one was a good natured looking young
man indeed by this time every one
about had begun to look good natured
All right grandma he said jovi
ally Ill give you one this time What
other line do you want
Whut line she repeated doubtful
ly I dont wan anny other line
Dont you know where you want to
go

Raising Their Cneck
How is this for side said the
photographer The other day I went
into a crowded restaurant to take a
noonday picture While I was focus
ing the camera the leader of a party
of men who had been sitting at a
table that would show up plainest in
the photograph asked the proprietor to
make out a ten dollar check in big
figures He did so Their own check
of 465 for the bunch was hidden
under a plate and the 10 check was
laid down printed side up for photo
graphic purposes only
If the proprietor had not assured
me to the contrary I should have set
that down as the most flagrant in
stance of snobbery on record He de
clared that every time the interior of
a restaurant is photographed some
patron whose ambition 1b bigger than
his pocketbook asks for a check big
enough to cover his eating expenses

How Machinery Breathes
An English writer on engineering
subjects Mervyn OGorman calls at
tention to the fact that a piece of ma
chinery such as an automobile laid
aside after being used is in danger
of Internal rusting through a kind of
respiration which affects cylinders
gear boxes clutch chambers inter
spaces in ball bearings and so forth
Every inclosed air space breathes
by drawing in air when a fall of tem
perature contracts its walls and ex
pelling it when the walls expand
through heat The moisture Intro
duced with the air is deposited in
the cavities and may produce serious
damage through rust The popular
belief that oil will protect the inac
cesslble parts of unused machinery
Is fallacious since nearly all oils take
up about three per cent of water in
solution Youths Companion

An Important lnfr ral Occasion at
the Edge cf tre Od Swim- j
ming Hole
The boys knew very well how to
take the conceit or vanity out of their
comrades In the summer days all the
boys of the village used to gather at
a place on the river known as Thay
ers swimming place about half a mile
from the town pump which was the
center from which all distances were
measured in those days There was a
little gravel beach where you could
wade out a rod or two and then for a
rod or two the water was over the
boys head It then became shallow
again from the opposite bank So it
was a capital place to learn to swim
After they came out the boys would
sit on the bank and have a sort of
boys exchange in which all matters
of interest were talked over and a
great deal of good natured chaff was
exchanged Any newcomer had to
pass through an ordeal of this char
acter in which his temper and quality
were thoroughly tried I remember
now an occasion which must have hap
pened when I was not more than eight
or ten years old when a rather awk
ward looking individual had come
down from New Hampshire and made
his appearance at the swimming place
The boys one after another tried him
by putting mocking questions or at
tempting to humbug him with some
story He received it all with patience
and good nature until one remark
seemed to sting him from his pro
priety He turned with great dignity
upon the offender and said Was that
you that spoke or was It a pumpkin
busted We all thought that It was
well said and took him into high fa

Consular Report
The Waste cf the Wind
Everyone who wants a cheap motive
force has tried to harness the wind
Every child has made a paper propel
ler or a windmill But can it be said
that the possible uses of the wind
have been as arduously investigated
as such recently discovered forces as
steam and electricity and gases Is it
not conceivable that the practical uses
of the wind are underestimated just
because they are so familiar
We cannot help thinking that the
wind will be more variously employed
some day In the same way that proba
blv the problem of laying under con
tribution the great physical fact of
the tides will be solved One would
think that the wind could be used for
electric lighting yet there is no prac
tical apparatus for the purpose True
the wind is variable and occasionally
absent but as electricity can be
stored one might suppose that this
was the very case in which variabil
ity did not particularly matter
Lattice Screens for Inns
Many quaint old inns are to be seen
in Kings Lynn and the sign of the
Lattice Inn is one of the oldest in
existence In the olden times the win
dows of inns were kept open and in
order to hide the revelers within a
lattice screen painted red was placed
in the window There is an old say
ing As well known by my wit as an
alehouse by a red lattice The lat
tices continued up to the beginning of
the eighteenth century and when they
disappeared from the windows they
were adopted as signs The latter are
getting very scarce and it is ques
tionable whether half a dozen could
be found in this country Cycling
Aeroplanes
It cannot be urged too strongly that
no time should be lost in acquiring
flying machines dirigible balloons as
well as aeroplanes for the military
service and engaging instructors to
teach aviation France Germany
England and Italy are rapidly train
ing officers in the new means of
reconnaissance and the United States
has not yet made a respectable be
ginning in the business or got beyond
the experimental stage
