Whatever may hu the state of the

limes make nervous niemlars of the
audience Insensibly shudder, Hall
and ruin are represented by a closed
wooded cylinder about six feet long,
which Is obstructed Inside by various
cross-pieces, a uarl of peas completing
(lie arrangement. By turning this
cylinder first one way up and then the
other, the peas rattle through it w ith
close imitation to the souud of heuvy
rain on the roof.
The wind arrangement consists of a
wheel of about two feel diameter, set
iu a frame like that of a grindstone.
This wheel la furnished with rlba on
its periphery somewhat like the tloats
of a waterwheel, and drawn tightly
ip er there ribs Is a piece of thick silk.
When the wheel Is turned Hut ribs rub
against the silk, and by turning the
handle first ipulckly and then slowly, S
very good lailtatlon of llie soughing of
the wind Is produced. Lightning can
easily be imitated by chemical or
electrical means, anil the usual mode
of producing thunder Is by shaking a
large I lice of llexlblc iron plate. Home
theatres have, however, a far more
elaborate and effective thunder ar-
fsnirement, which Is used as an
auxiliary to the sheet o. Iron when a
storm Is supposed to reach Its height.
Tills couslnls of a number of cannon
balls held In a trough and allowed to
fall at the right moment, and to run
over a Ihsir above Hie celling of the
