She Ls here to interest American theatrical men in her new ighting scheme and is to on this week introducing dcas.The following from the new York 'elegraph will be read with interest iy many friends of Miss Fuller here: Loie Fuller is back.She arrived Wednesday evening n the Amerika with Henry Rus-oll of the Boston Opera Company nd several of the sing birds be* is ringing over to astonish America rith.It :s eight years since Miss Fuller ?as in the United States and she as been doing a lot in that time, he has built a big laboratory in faris, where she is at work much of ie time, studying the chemistry of ght, and has for her confidantes ml assistants*such people as Camil- Flammarion, Madame Curie and cientists of that calibre.Miss Fuller is to supply the bal-Jt for the Boston opera.

She is going back a eek from tomorrow and this is annewhat hurried transatlantic jour-ey. But she has bigger projects in lind than merely furnishing a bal-it of pretty girls who will captivate merican audiences.Miss Fuller has introduced at the arisian opera houses a new idea in I age scenery. Painted scenery is one away with. In its place an ar-ingement of lights and stereopti-ons produces what is wanted to be ^presented on the stage, aside from ie people. It is Miss Fuller’s own tvention, or discovery, or applica-on of well known /principles, what-ver one may call it, and on this dieme she has been spending all io money she has made by her dam ing for the past eight years.other urns that have been so much talked of of late years, is one of her able aides.

None of our old fashioned houses would do. But to compensate for that she can carry ten thousand stage settings in a small trunk. She has a bundle of them she is taking to Boston -to show the opera house people there. There are six thousand stage scenes in lhat bundle and she can carry them under her arm.That is all she came over for th|s time—just to teach Americans some thing they do not know about light and what may be accomplished with it. She will return a week from tomorrow. In June she will be back again and will bring her ballet girls with her.It is a new idea in a ballet. The old fashioned toe dancing, simpering, skipping lady of uncertain age will not be the charmer in this new style of ballet. It will be arranged just as the singing part of an opera is arranged. One girl may dance but a single bar of the music. Another will dance a line or two. There will be dancing duets, trios and choruses, each dancer will step that portion of the music for which she is particularly fitted by figure, by tem/era-ment, by ability. .Just as the singers take their parts, sopranos, tenors, bassos, so will the dancers of the new ballet go through with theirs.fWORDS TO FREEZE THE SOUL.“Your son has consumption.
