EYOLl TION OF THE FOOTLIGHTS
Story of b advance from Tallow to
Electric it How the Candle Snnffer Be
came an Electrician In Fonr Peesdea.
In the days of the Elliabethan thea
ter the performances took place In the
open and began at 3 p. m., so the arti
ficial light was rarely required. Sunset
and sunrise, moonlight and starlight,
high noon and midnight existed only in
the vivid Imagination of the spectators,
who must, in those days, have found
much education, for their fancy and
inspiration for their sympathies in
theater-going, which natrons of today
are relieved of by the cleverness of stage
managers and electricians and painters,
says the Boston Herald. The first arti
ficial light upon the stage was furnished
by two large branches of lights, one on
etiher side of the stage. These branches
of light obstructed the view of the audi
tors and tbey were Anally replaced by
Bmall circular wooden frames, fitted
with candles. These hoops of light
were suspended from the proscenium
and there were no footlights between
the actors and the orchestra. There
were usually eight hoops of candles,
four on either side of the stage, and
these were of wax or tallow, according
to the manager's purse. The body of
the nous was lighted by "cressets or
large open lanthorns, nearly as large as
those In the poop of a ship." An amus
ing Incident in which one of these hoops
of candles la employed is related by
Klchard Jenkins, In his "Memoirs of
the Bristol Stage." One Winston, a
ntocio actor, who would play tragedy at
times, was doing "Richard III.," when.
In flourishing his sword In calling for
"a horse, u horse." he accidentally cut
the rope that held up the Illuminating
urcli, and. as he dodged. It descended
fairly and squarely around his neck, to
his great discomfort and the great de
light of the audience. Theater-goers In
those days were not a jut different from
theater-iroers of today, and an accident
was. then as now, always productive of
a peal of uproarious laughter. Still, It
must have been funny to see Catesby
strugglliiK to relieve his monarch of
that embarrassing position before the
little affair at Tewkesbury could be set
tied.
-:!:-
One of the first managers to use foot
lights was Uarrlck, who Introduced vari
ous improvements into Drury Lane,
London, among them. In 17. It), a row of
footlights. Candles were used for that
purpose, but were soon replaced by oil.
footlights being then known as "the
flout," and consisting of one long tank
of oil with a series of wicks. With the
disappearance of the oil lamp, which
served to illuminate the theater far Into
the nineteenth century, disappeared
also from the playhouse a character
who up to then was an institution the
"candle snuffer," or, as he was called
In Paris, le moucheur de chandelier.
This party's duty was to watch the
lights und walk right on to the stage at
any time during the performance, to
snuff the candles as they needed It, In
due course of evolution the "candle
snuffer" became the tender of lumps,
then the gas man, and finally the elec
trician. In Ills hour; the candle-snuffer
was a favorite butt for the humor of
the audience. He was pelted If fancy
seized It: he was guyed and scoffed at.
That humor of the audience exists to
day, although the modern method of
setting and resetting the stage and
changing the scenes has largely re
moved the opportunity. We all re
member the days when stages had deep
aprons and the queer looking men and I
boys always came In front to take up I
or put down tne carpets Between tne
acts, or to sweep up torn paper or a
snowstorm with which a previous act
had littered the stage; or in the days
before dark changes, how the same
man brought on or carried off chairs and
tables to the delight of the small boy
in the gallery or the big one down stairs.
-::-
It Is a little uncertain just when gas
was first introduced Into the theater. It
first came out In London, some time
during lSlS.when M. de la Forte was
sent from Paris to London to Investi
gate the effects of the use of hydrogen
gras, as applied to lighting the stage.
His report was so favorable that after
some experiments, on February 26, 1S22,
gas was successfully introduced in the
opera house, Paris. By a curious coin
cidence, the first opera lighted by it
was "Aladdin," a new and posthumous
work by Nlcolo. This example was
quickly followed by all of the other
Paris theatres. Today tho work of
lighting the theater is a work of art as
well as mechanical ingenuity, and,
while the great master of that effect has
gained much in America In the way of
aids to carry on his ideas, Henry Irv
ing nas been studied, but hardly emu
lated, by American managers, many of
whom still secure brilliant effects with
out reason and startling results that
scorn nature. Today, electricity is
used in nearly all theaters, and foot
lights are supplemented with - side
lights, meant to do away. If possible,
with lime lights. The border lights
which were introduced to give to the
scene a natural glow by coming from
tne ngnt direction, nave todav. from
one line across the top of the proscen
ium arch, increased to six, so that the
light can be directed on any part of
the scene, or shed completely over it.
The modern lighting Is so complicated
that the switchboard, with its dozen
regulators, capable of doing marvels In
the way of lighting. Is the most expen
sive, elaborate and interesting fontnra
or the world behind the scenes. The
candle snuffer of the sixteenth century

Discovery of a Burled City In Turkestan
by a Party of Prussians.
From Information.
' In Turkestan, on the right bank of the
Amou Dlara, In a chain of rocky hills,
near the Bokharan town of Karkl, are a
number of large caves which, upon ex
amination, were found to lead to an un
derground city, built apparently long
before the Christian era.. According to
effigies, Inscriptions and designs upon
the gold and silver money unearthed
from among the ruins the existence of
the town dates back some two centuries
before the birth of Christ.
The underground Bokharan city Is
about two veruts long, and Is composed
of an enormous labrylnth of corridors,
streets and squares, surrounded by
house and other buildings two or three
stories high. The edifices contain all
kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns,
vases,' and so forth. In Bome of the
streets fall of earth and rock have ob
structed the passages, but generally the
visitor can walk about freely without
lowering his head. The high degree of
civilization attained by the Inhabitants
of the city is shown by the fact that
they built in Beveral stories, by the
symmetry of the streets and square, and
by the beauty of the clay and metal
utensils, and of the ornaments and
coins.
