WKNTAL OFFICE llu Connally Building, over Redwood's Store, Encores, The problem whether a mutineer cnu or cannot compel a vocal artist to ac cept an cucoro has probably not been seriously considered hitherto. I'cr- lonners are, ns u rule, only too ready to respond to demands tniulo upon them by an uudietica or portions of it, and it eau hardly have occurred to any ono to conceive that an ocexsion would ariso in which a vocalist would bo censured by his employer for not con ceding an encore. Such an occasion, uowever, would seem to have arisen in connection witii an English opera theatre, and the case, it is said, is cer tain to come into court The singer has been fined one night's salary for nis alleged irregularity, ami, accord ing to his statement, tho lino has been justified by the management on the oasis of a private regulation, to tho effect that any artist in its employment refusing to take a "call" shall bo liable to a fine- in question. Wo shall not attempt to unticipato the decision which may hereafter bo given, but, apparently, much will do pend. upon tue meaning attached by judge and jury to tho expression "tak ing a cau. in orcunnry uicnincu parlance a "call" is simply a summons to the footlights, not a request for thd repetition of a song or verse.. It would, however, bo almost a pity if the prob lem nameu above- escaped legal pro nouncement because of the nicety of meaning here involved. It would be interesting to have it formally declared whether an artist has any choice in the matter of encores, or whether he or she must concede them willy-nilly. Should tho latter conclusion be arrived at, somo vocalists will feel that a Dew hardship has been thrust upon them, and salaries may rise accordingly. The general public also would be more Ihnn ever at the mercy of thoso whose passion for encores is undiscrimin- ating. London Globe.

Hithorto machines for felling trees have beon driven by steam power, but this is sometimes inconvenient, espe cially in thick woods, and electric power has been adopted in tho Gali cian forests. Usually in such ma chines the trunk is sawn, but in this case it is drilled. When tho wood is of a soft naturo tho drill has a sweep ing motion and cuts into tho trunk by means of cutting1 edges on its sides. The drill is actuated by an electric motor mounted on a carriage, which is brought up close to the treo and shackled to it. Tho motor is capablo of turning round its vertical axis, nml tho drill is geared to it in such a man ner that it can turn through an'arc of a circlo and inako a sweeping cut into the trunk. The first cut mado, tho drill is advanced a few inches and an other section of tho wood removed in tho same wav until tho trunk is half severed. It is then clamped to keep tho cut from closing, and tho opera tion continued until it would bo un safe to go on. Tho remainder is fin ished by a hand saw or an ax. The current 'is conveyed to tho motor by insulated leads urought through tho forest from u generator placed in some convenient site London Times.

Then Mr. Smith requested , tho old fellow to whisper something to him and ho would send it to Costello. IIo did bo, but when ho saw his words written out nt tho other end of the short circuit ho claimed that Costello heard him when ho told Mnnager Smith what to send. Mr. Smith sug gested to him that he should write on paper what ho wanted to say, and then lio could convince himself that there was no "shenaimgin" about it.

Any one acquainted with the man agement of slaughter houses, and who lias previously witnessed the manner in which the animals ore stunned, must have been shocked by the hor rors attendant on the proceedings fre quently involved in the admission of novices to tuo trauo by using the liv ing animal as a block on which to practice. The amount of torture caused in this way by unskilled hands baflles description. Young men come forward each in turn to Btnka a blow at the same ox. The ax may some times fall ten times upon the same un fortunate animal, whose eves are often put out and his whole skull battered in a pitiable way before the practiced blow of tho master butcher puts an end to his sufferings and lays him low. In order to end these cruelties the directors of Uie Berlin slaughter house have provided a practicing apparatus, upon which apprentices are bound to learn their' trade. They are obliged to practice upon it till thev have ac quired sufficient strength and dexter ity to hit a button in the machine wun i no same lorce as is required to make a strong ox insensible; and they are only permitted to touch the liv ing animal when they have proved their competence with tho machine. The apparatus consist of two cast iron cylinders fitting into one another and pressed by means of two power rui springs, w uen tne Dutton upo: tho apparatus is struck the springs art pressed, and the cylinders slip to gether, while the exact strength of tho blow given is indicated upon the dial. Tho apparatus bangs in a strong woodon frame and is movable, to that tho button can bo raised or lowered according as tho practico is intended for largo or small cattle. A mallet of forged iron about 7 inches long is used with this apparatus. It has on both aides a rounded surface of about t inches in diameter. Tho handle, which measures 2? 4 inches long, musi not be used too short, to avoid risk of breidiiug.
