Climbs Il ladder up 10 the mouth of the

only his heads left visible. Zlia who
is an active little woman, climbs II rope
up to 4 small trapeze at the top OF the
auditorium and hangs by her feet, head
downward with her arms extended.
Loyal and Xaila wear solemn faces, and
the spectators are wrought up TO feel,

Fire = cries Loyal.
An assistant touches oil the cannon,

puff of smoke and Loyal is shot TO the
top Of the auditorium, where Xmla
catches him. Then both descend to the
stage all the spectators applauding

afternoon there was Il variation, begin

Locomotive Longevity.
From the selentillc Ameriean.


The IRON horse does not last much
longer than the horse ofilesh and bones.
The ordinary life Of locomotive is 30
years. Some Of the smaller parts re-
quire renewal every six months; the
boiler tubes last live years and the
crank axles six years; tires, boilers and
fire boxes from six TO seven years; the
side frames and other parts thirty
years. An important advantage is that
q broken part can be repaired and does
not condemn the whole locomotive to
the junk-shop, while when horse
breaks a leg. the whole animal is only
worth the flesh, fat and bones, which
amount to very small sum in this
country, where horse.hesh does not find
its way to the butchers shambles.
