AMERICAN AMUSEMENTS. The Immense Amount of Money Spent in Theaters. A Large Army of Profeadnnala An Kept llujr-i ort uum Aunually Hpmt In Truvrlln J on the Railroad. It in estimate! that there are per haps as many as l.uno traveling thcatri eal comjMinies in tlie I'niteil States, says the Washing ton I'ost. This in cludes everything that ean le con sidered strictly professional companies, to say not liinir f f the countless amateur oriraui.ations. Of th.t strictly theatri cal orirani.'at ions it is safe to presume that the average receipts jer nijfht for the 1,(nn companies are SUM) each. At seven performances per week for each company the weekly average, as will he seen. wouM )c SJ.NMI. The average theatrical season is forty weeks. The entire I.IMM) companies with an average nightly receipt of S 100 would produce weekly receipts at seven performances ht week amounting to S.SOO.OuO. This multiplied ly forty, the number of weeks in a soiison, would 3'it ld gross receipts amounting to Si rj. 000. 000. From the above estimates some idea can be formed of what the American eople spend annually for amusements by companies which are known as strictly professional. Thousands of dollars are also spent with . amateur theatrical organizations and lecture bureaus. It would apiear from the alxive. state iueut that a great deal of money is made by theatrical people. The expenses in cident to earning' SI 12,000,000 are very large. It is reasonable to say that one-third, or Sol,ooo,ooo, of the total 81 12.000,000, is spent with railroads. Another very large item is expended for printing, Great fortunes have leen amassed by printing houses in the production of theatrical printing alone Hundreds of thousands ef dollars are also spent for advertising in news papers. It is safe to say that 40 per cent, of the correspondence between theatrical managers is carried on by telegraph, which amounts to a great deal in a year s time. The traveling companies, howevwr, are not the sole possessors of the grand total, 112,000.000. This is di vided between the traveling companies and the owners of the houses where the companies play. The net receipts de rived by the companies would perhaps be in the neighlorhood of 05 percent, or 70 per cent., making an average net re sult of between $75,000,000 and JfSO.OOO, 000. Out of this, of course, comes all of the expenditure for railroad transpor tation, and over one-half of the total amount paid for newspaper advertis ing. Out of this also is paid fully 15 per cent, of the amount paid to print ing houses. ' The 1,000 traveling companies will average fa ft ecu people to a company, making a total of 15,000 theatrical peo ple traveling over the country forty weeks out of the fifty-two. This, of course, does not include the number or people employed at theaters. I'pon the estimate made as to the number of companies there must of necessity be the same or more number of theaters, as two companies cannot play at the same theater on the same night. There are at least on an average fifteen peo ple emploj-ed at every theater, which would be 15,000. This added to the number of people traveling would make a total of 30.000 people. It it said that there 3,000 actors and act resses now out of employment. There are at least engaged in the theatrical business directly or indirectly those who make a living from it f.0,000. Some actors make a great deal of money; some do not. Those who niake- the moat are generally those who say the least about it. Those who make the least on annual tours are as a class those who tlo the most talking alout having done the greatest business. A great many managers and stars hold to the old-fashioned idea that they must always talk about the enormous business they are doing, the people they are turning away from their houses, and how many times a week the '"Standing Room Only" sign is out. They do this for the express purpose of attempting to deceive the public. Tin Ix-st evidence that a traveling theatri cal attraction is a good one is the fact that large audiences attend it. Old Mexican Minos. Whenever a cave is newly discovered in New Mexico or Arizona the finder's first hope is that he has unearthed an old Spanish or Mexican mine, but the seldom or never has proved to be the case. Generally these holes in the mouutains are natural caves in lime stone or sandstone formations, but sohietiuies they lie between, walls of hard rock, which perhaps contain mineral deposits, indicating1 that the primitive civilized Indians may have dug1 their way in following a soft streak iu search of talc to use in pot tery making, with no thought for precious metals. Stalactites, snowy white, hang from their roofs, and where mineral water has jn-rcolatcd these crystallizations take on gorgeous me tallic hues. Human bones are some times found in these caves and other evidences of human work or former occupancy. The Coffee cave ami Rob inson's cave, in the ISIack range, in southern New Mexico, have leen ex plored for several hundred feet, and other large caves iu that region remain to be explored. IDENTIFYING CRIMINALS. The Ten-Year-old System. Which Ha l'roveti a I nironu sureeas. The identification service at the pre fecture of police, Taris. is one of the nust recent and not the least curious creations of the department. It is now ten years since this service was organ ized by M. Ilertillon. At the prefec ture 1 was shown (writes a correspon dent of the Leeds Mercury) a collection of about one hundred anil twenty thou sand photographic records of arrested Hjrsous who had Wen taken, to the depot. These are ranged in five hun dred drawers on rollers, called "cahrio lets." Hy a process of elimination tlie packets are so classified according to distinguishing physical features as to enable a stranger goiug there for the first time to identify an arrested person if previously apprehended bv the pre fecture in less than five minutes. A practical exemplification of the system was given me. in company with some other visitors, the other day. A rou-h-looking youth of twenty years of the souteneur class had just liecn brought to the depot on a charge of the three- nmU,icmv irit-k. To the ques tion. "Have you ever lecn here In-fore?" a sullen "No" was elicited. "Your name?" "Leon Renault," which ap propriation of the identity of a former prefect of police and distinguished ad vocate caused a general titter. In the twinkling of an eye the alleged first offender was put through the mensura tion process, which the lad rather n nented, on the ground that he was not there "to be made a sight of." ISut "M. Reuault" was quickly reduced to reason. When the measurements were taken, one of the party was invited to search for the duplicate in the pig.-on-hole. In less time than it takes to write this Leon Renault appeared tinder the name photographic resemblance as a certain "Rossinol." which the culprit was at last forced to reouLze a Li never wants ta learn, but the reads that OLiD Honesty CHEWING TOBACCO is the best that Is made, and at ONCE tries it. and eaves money and secures more satisfaction than ever before.

It is now proposed, by means of a submarine cable, to connect the Nor wegian and Swedish capitals with CV- Ienliagcn.
