THE BRITANNIA (GktSgfJw).
Glasgow lias never boasteS an inside Car-
nival,. tbe only town in Scotland up to the
,, - .
'present time where this can be found being j
BdinbtiTgh. But Mr B. A. Pickard, the en-
terprising and genial proprietor of this popu-
lar mid-eity establishment, has brought the
West to tne level of the East by introducing
;hi-8 first aruraal New Year’s Carnival, to
take place within the Panopticon, which has
quite a host of the newest and most up-to-
date novelties having been secured. There
are quite a large number of side shows jj.
which should provide endless amusement w
Sat the merrymaker. At the Britannia, |!
I which is within the same building, a fi 18 ^- jj
j rate variety programme will be submitted, }
! with that popular local Scotch comedian, ,
Mr J. H. Harris, at the top of the bill. The :
! other members of the company are all of a 1
! talented nature and certain to prove enjoy- 1
; able. One of the latest inventions, # the
] Ghronophone, will also be shown. This is
! a wonderful combination of bioscope and ,
gramophone, and has only to be heard and j
] seen to be fully appreciated. In view of j
I tbe enormous rush which is certain to be 1
\ experienced, there will be continuous per- g
formances each day during this week, from
an early hour in the morning.

ORIGIN OF THE CLOWN.
[ Tlie characters to-day of Clown and Pan-
I Saloon retain their caricature of the dress
jj °l fifteenth century, in which, they had
jj their origin; but, whereas Pantaloon, tied-
up love-lock and all. is absolutely Vene-
tian, Clown is essentially English
But (says Dion Clayton Calthrop in the
ijhristmas double number of the “Pall
-Mall Gazette”) though these familiar char-
acters require new costumes, new jokes
new songs, fresh backgrounds, they are im-
mortal, these delightful people, and they
epnng from a source so ancient that it re-
quires a very rag-picker in the big heaps !
threkd^ 17 l ° find th ® end of the ton Sk d
It was the fashion in Elizabethan England
to admire everything Italian; Italian was
the Court language, Italian was the Court
manner; so that, a happy idea occurred, I 1
suspect to Tarlton, ike great Fool of t&is !
ti 1 *)?' J °° Elizabeth, to introduce an j
Italian comedy company into England juet f
as taey had them in France. Tarit.on took f
the character of Clqwn, made him English, !
dressed him, a a evidence shows, in an ex- f
aggerated trunk doublet, and ruff, made his 5
hair into comic likeness of the fashion of
the day, love-lock sticking up and tied with ’
ribbon, and so made a huge hit, with Col- |
umbine as a neat maid, and Harlequin, ruff
round his neck, spangles and wand, os a
magic invisible being more like Mercury
than ever.
The Harlequinade thus firmly planted in
England remains to this day,' but Clown
was principal character and Punch usurped
the spangles of Harlequin when he became
a popular Loudon street entertainment in
James I.’s reign.
We had in 1702 Penkethman of Drury
Lane as Harlequin, and the fame of Harle-
quin was growing from 1688 to 1723, to cul-
minate with the renowned Harlequin Piich,
who is the most famous of all English Har-
lequins.
But if Rich was the most celebrated of
English Harlequins, <as Grimaldi (senior)
was of world-wide reputation as a great
Clown, Barnes well known as Pantaloon,
and the Columbines were as many as they
were beautiful.
To arrive at to-day. There seems to be
a wave of interest in the country on the
11 Harlequin idea. The most celebrated re-
vival of the old Italian figures has been due
to Mr Barrie, who has given us, in "Panta-
loon,” one of the most perfect of quaint
plays, and he has been fortunate in his
company of actors. Pantaloon, whether ■
played by Gerald du Maurier or Albert Che- i
valier, has a touch of immortality : unless I \
am much mistaken, the part of Pantaloon
will be the desire of many actors. Then *
Air -Waller has played "Ine Harlequin '
King.” and W. i?. Gilbert turned Mr Bour- i
| chier's company into tbe Harlequinade ;
characters with a touch of his magic pen. ;
j I must not forget the great favourite of j
I Drury Lane, now, alas! gone — Harry Payne I
— who was in modern times our 'greatest '■
| Clown. _ ^

EXTRAORDINARY HUMAN FREAK
IN GLASGOW.
The popularity of tho “skeleton man or j;
the “fat woman” in the side-show and of |
the numerous “freaks” continually being |
j presented to the public by tho showman re- j
- veals how universal Is the interest displayed j
j by men and women towards the abnormal of j.
j' their own species.
p' :j A very extraordinary anomaly of the |
l^HSl human kind is being exhibited in Glasgow 5
y
j| just now at Mr. Stewart’s Waxworks, 1^'
j Oowcaddens. Designated “tho wild man, ’
il. he is an extraordinary and wonderful speci- [v r;
d men of tho human species, resembling |-"’ !
Jfl physically as much a boast as a man. Tho |
i; shouldors, part of the back and chest, and I '
i'ono of the arms are entirely covered with gj|
; large quantities of black, shaggy hair, having rH
the appearanoe almost of a sealskin coat, £.'£
i while on the rest of the body aro patches
of discoloured skin, from which grow tufts J|£
of hair, and which have occasioned tho title L:,
of the “leopard man” sometimes bestowed £
on him.
The face, which is covered with a thick j
beard and moustache, presents no abnormal I
characteristics. The expression, if perhaps r ;
somewhat furtive, is by no means stupid or tv_
ferocious. Ik
Tho man was bom in Siberia on the 26th k
April, 1879, and belongs to a family of four, Fo
This is his first visit to the British Isles, U
though he has toured for years in Franco 1
and on the Continent. He is usually docile ft
in temperament, though he becomes C
occasionally violent, especially — and this is up
an interesting point — in hot weather. The ft
presence of a largo number of spectators U.
also predisposes him to ill-temper. p
Sometime© his departure from his usual hjj
equanimity takes the form of stubbornness, j i
ho often refusing, for example, to stir out |
of bed all day. Such occasions, of course, p
mean pecuniary loss to his exhibitors,
j Tho language bo speaks is French, which * *■
, ho ro£ds and talks fluently. Ho has also r
! picked up a few words of F-glish. His j
staple food is underdono irfeat. Vegetables R
aro distasteful to him, and ho partakes of S
bread only in small quantities.
} A peculiar habit of emitting a strange \
I hissing noise, almost Ilk© a cat, adds con- ij
I side rally to tho uncanny sensation or.o ox- |
j poriences in his presence, as does his strange !
’ walk, aimost bc&r-like in its heaviness. * ►

i tion was no doubt the chronophone. shown
j for the first time in Scarborough. This is a
| combination of the bioscope and the gramo-
j phone, figures being thrown upon the scene
in the usual way by the bioscope, whilst the
i gramophone illustrated what fliey said. It M
being the first time the combination was ’
;-t shown, there were one or two little contre- |
J temps at the outset, but afterwards the pic-
<] tures with songs were exhibited in a capital

r A TALKING LAMP.
TELEPHONE AND ITS WORKING^!;
j Rjdfessor W. Dttddell yesterday delivered, !
I bet Sr,, a largo audience, at the Royal Instd- !
j .tu’Afflii, London, the fourth of his Christmae j
i cotnv.e of lectures on signalling. His 6ub- j|
, jeet was “The Telephone and its Working,” |'
which the lecturer introduced by giving a l|
' number of interesting experiments, indicat- j|
i ing how the vibration of air produces and L
’ affects sound. Bjfdantem slides he showed
the varying effects of musical sounds and i 1
the inflexions of the human voice, and then ji
went on to explain the fundamental prin- iii
1 ciples nf the bell telephone, the carbon
. transmitter, and its development into the
c modern microphone. \
j - On the soreen appeared a series of views
-j illustrating how messages are received and
■ answered through the telephone exchange,
and in this connection the lecturer men-
tioned the interesting fact that, popular as
the telephone is in America, whereas in
London every person who has a telephone
uses it on the average six times a day, in
New York the corresponding averaga is only
a fraction over fonr times a day. One of
the most interesting experiments shown wa3
that Of telephoning along a stream
Hfeht.
Tha lecturer remarked that from the
latest experiments made in Berlin an are
lamp might be made capable of talking,
tlyimrh U, what practicable use this might,
be made to apply could only at present be
conleoture d.
The fate of a floating menagerie oarried by
tne German cargo steamer Lichtenfelf, which
put into Xow-Ybrk recently, is one of the
most tra.gio chapters in animal history.
The crew of the Lichtenfels are animal
lovers to a man, and when the vessel left
Calcutta she carried quite a hundred pete.
She arrived in New-York (says the Express
correspondent) with one — a mangy cat mat
had seen many viois^ita idiSSi.... « r
The captain had a ecUlS dog, the first officer
a. Young - crocodile, the second officer halt a.
dozen parrots, the chief engined a doe. the
‘•second engineer a choice pair of hooded
cobras, the fifth and sixth engineers divided
the ownership of three mongooses, and so on;
while the Lascars in the forecastle had thirty
monkeys, several hairy-nosed porcupines*
Malayan squirrels, and numerous birds. The
cook was the proud owner of a well- developed
young cheetah. All hoped to sell their pens
profitably in
, NEW-YORK.
The cheetah. began the trouble. He sur-
reptitiously bit a piec out of hie owner s Leg
in the cootc’s galley, and killed -the chief en-
gineer’s doe. He was finally driven over-
board by a party of angry seamen.
Within two days of Suez, a Red Sea sand-
storm blinded the monkeys*, and almost drove
them mad. Finally, aLl but two jumped over-
board. The Lascars, depressed by so any
suicides, sold the survivors at Suez.
A day later tho crocodile hit one of the
engineers so violent, a blow on the head that
he remained stunned for some time. The
sailors chastised him so vigorously that they
cracked his skull, and- he was heaved over-
Goinsr through the Canal, the colLio barked
vigorously at a
A GESTICULATING ARAB
on the 'bank, lost his balance, and was
drowned. £ .
The squirrels died. Tho cat was worsted in
encounters with the porcupines, but she sur-
vived, whlie they died from various causes.
Two parrots were killed by the cat, ^ and
tho rest died of • the cold in the ' North
Atlantic. , ... ,
Then a gale, which raged seven days, killed
off others, and there were only left the oat, i
one (mongoose. atk| th<H two cobras.- — 'all
