Besides belog atrociously murdered, much of the so-called music was what the Chief Justice would call "totally frrelevant "--and it should not have been admitted. Miss Trigge's Highland Fling was one of the features of the performance and elicited great a: plause. The dressing was equally wide of The point; the hero bimself was all right, in one- rectile and with proper weapons, but some of the Clan MacGregor turned out in dark green tar-Woong this alternoon. She is so deeply laden tans, and one in a big tarpsollo-apparently meant for the Clan Macintosh.

After the play, Mrs. J. F. Brian and Miss Belle Brian came on to "sing a duet," according to the programme; bat without wishing to hurt anybody's feelings we would beg to express our high appreciation of the modesty they have piciously displayed in letting others slag. Mr. D. C. Smith in his comic songs, and Miss Tamelll in her clever and graceful trapeze act, fully deserved the applause accorded them. Miss Marla Brian, by special request, favoured the audience with her own particular version of "Ta-ra-ra," which brought down the house and compelled su encore. Evidently this Item, as rendered by this artiste, is as great a favourite as ever.

A word of praise must be given to the band of the Shropshire Regiment for their admirable efits throughout the performance. The Imita- tion of the bagpipes was immense-far better than the real thing to evidence last night, and no praise can be too high for Mr. Vallance's ablilty and discrimination in conducting the

"ECLIPSES."

Notwithstanding the adverse circumstances attending the inner eclipse os account of the very cloudy weather, the writer witnessed two important phases during a brief Interval of clear sky at the timen previously reduced for the Inngitude of the place of observation from the Greenwich phases, viz.—First contact with the shadow, March 21d, gb. zm. 338.

Middia of Eclipse March 21ỏ, gh. 57m, 136. Magnitude of the Eclipse (Moon's diameter being 1) nearly 3-lenths,

For comparison the Greenwich mean times gre given:

For the bencht of the navigator, it may be Middle of Eclipse 21d, zb, zom, 308,

stated that it is impossible to note the critical instants of the eclipse of the moon with any degree of accuracy on account of the Indefinite ness of the moon's shadow ; a lunar eclipse is therefore only an approximate method of deduc. ing the longitude. By means of a solar eclipse avery accurate determination can be arrived at

As an illustration of the results attainable by shore observations of eclipses of the ma, the following may be of interest :-In 1766 Captain Cook determined the longitude of Eclipse Island (one of a small group off the south coast of Newfoundland) to be 57 deg, 15 min, go sea. W., and in 1974, the same spot by telegraphic determinations was found to be la 57 deg. 36 min, ga see. W., thus being deduced within 22 acconds of arc, or about a quarter of a mile.

passing with surprising quickness from the three-volume novel to the single-volume tale, and from the latter to the "short story," waleb itself shows signs of shrinking. This is as it should be, slace nobody in these days bas either time or inclination for weding through the bulky romances which pleased our ancestors, and brevity to the vince in fiction that we prize above all others. The only cause for complaint at present is that this process of condensation bas not been carried anflictently far. We have much pleasure, therefore, in bringing before the pablic our recently-patented Telearnphic Novel, which will soon supersede all others. The brand has only to be tried ance to be used in every household.

Hers, for instance, is a complete romance written on this system, in which, it will be observed, the personal as well as the psychological por- teallure is all the more vividly rendered by con- densation. As a great critic pats it, “It is what be omits shows me the master in style”—–

Justly indeed will the reviewer, no longer meriting the wanted epithet of "jaded," praise the terse, strong, melodramatic faterest which. breathes in every syllable of such a story as this. Gaily will the general reader forsake the shortest of modern short stories for the telegraphic novel, and right gladly will editors welcome the intro- duction of a system whereby life will lose its terrors for them, since a few telegraphic forms will replace bulky rolls of MS. And we may conclude with a modest hope that when all other forms of fiction, as they inevitably must be, have -been superseded for ever by the telegraphie novel, the inventors of thlä remarkable and magnificent scheme may not go forgotten and anrewarded.—Globe. ..

SKIRT DANCING.

The popular dancer, or rather artist, who doen the rainbow act,” the "spilt" or the latest French solo in the terpsichorean Hoe is a complex piece of machinery which requires a great deal of care. She has to be olled up and rubbed down, plastered over and bested to the proper temperature and then cooled off again until the human principles on which she was originally constructed are entirely lost sight of

Even thevigorous constitutionals and scientific training of the champlon pogillat fail to convey any idea of the physics education that the average skirt dancer gets. First of all, abe bas to acquite an almost abnormal development of muscular organization in order to do the laborious dancing that constitutes ber sbære in entertaining and edifying the public.

The skirt dancer has most of the ills to which flesh is heir to combat with, says the New York Recorder. Perhaps the most common of tha

All that will be necessary for him will be a stock of blanktul aches and allments is a general dorange. telegraph forms, to be obtained gratullously st the nearest post office. On each of these, with little practice, he will be able to write a complete novel, Here, for instance, is an old fashioned romance in telegraphic form:

"Emil dead, Edwin disinherited. Godfrey takes mandy Woon Angelina. Unhand me. Sir: rejected. Real will found. Edwin' true belt, marries Augellas. Godfrey forged ; prison. Joy." Only 15 words, obieive, but the entire tale la thers, divested of all that superficous padding which is so fastly disliked in these anys. It is indeed not a little surprising that this development of fiction should not have been made before. It has long been recognised that under the old system of verbose literature it was impossible for the writer to maintain a high level of excellence throughout his work, and accordingly we have been given small volumes with such titles as "Gems from George Ello "Diamonds from Dickens," and the like. But when the telegraphic novel comes into general use we shall obtain only the cream of each author's work, as there will be no space or occasion for the less excellent passages ; we shali get only the gems, without having to search for them through vast tracts of inferior writing, There is indeed no season why the works of ent older writers should not be republished on this admirable plan. "Pocket-editions" are very | well in their way, but, after all, they give only a spurious appearance of brevity. How much better would be a telegraphic edition of the best authors, by which we should be able to obtain in a few brief, pithy sentences a complete summary of “ Pickwick" or "Vanity Fair" 1 It would serve to introduce those almost forgotten works to the present generation, and It would also come as an espacial boon to the Oxford man wishing to read for the lately-estab fisked "English Literature Honour School." Nor is the usefulness of the system limited to there old-world stories. The following is quite silly and modern

"Awtally gone on Dolly. Stonybroke. Dolly's governor beast. Take 100 to 3 Bellerophes. Wins; chuck her up] Rake is hoof. Old gent climbs down, Double harness to-morrow.

Ripping! We are not vaio, and do not wish to bosat, but with the greatest possible modeary we siaim that for pore, concentrated, undiluted idiocy this sample will be found difficult to beat, and it is entirely composed in the language that has lately become so popular with neval readers, Arrangements have already been made with some of the foremost writers of the day to supply telegraphic stories. The intelligent render will have no difficult in recognising the authorship of the following t

#Heather, sunsets, loaòs, salmon, Highland |lass, Englishman, yacht, Flirtation, wedding."

Not even suspence need bang for this tale, which is all contained in ten words, leaving two over for the preface and the index. And yet none of the local colour la lost. Only the super. Asus descriptions of the sky and, the imitating conversations in Gaelic are omitted, while, for those who like it. !! Wass you ferry well ?" can be'added for an addiɩjonai twopence. The nex specimen comes from a writer whose style already had telegraphic symptoms about it, and for whom, therefore, our system will be un' expecial godsend

"Mulvaney on considerable bend, Row, nailves.

Blooming civilian anfat appears, Harmony, tobacco. Bu Learoyd. Other story," Once more, we repent, what could be more satisfactory? There you have the crisp marked Individuality of style, “with no added ingre- dients, like the advertised coccus. The system will be an immessa boon to readers, as few 'of us çan find time to read all the novels pub= lahed in their present form, while for the future we shall be able thoroughly to master about sixty stories an hour. Immense, too, will be the gain to writare, for they will be remunerated sian - Indreased esta—for their will become far more, anmazons while what was formerly the labour of months will now be accomplished within a few minutes every novelist will consequently enjoy!« princely income, and the beast of Ms. Besent will
