Theatres of the future will have not only a revolving stage, but a revolving audience, in the opinion of a German architect, who plana to build a theatre in which the floor, with its audience, can be turned at an angle of 180 degrees. The spectators will thus suddenly find themselves transported to another part of the round theatre, where they will see a different stage setting from that on which they gazed at the previous angle. In Iceland codfish have formed the coins of the realm, and at one time, in Abyssinia, salt; while cakes of tea in India, and pieces of silk in China, have also taken the place of cash.
