That New Circus Ordinance-A
Protest from Managers.
Coming Eyents-Manager Palmer
on "The Bankers
Daughter"

TIE NEW CIRCUS ORDINANCE.
The following city ordinance is now under
consideration by the Committee ON Revision,
recently appointed by the Common Council:
For entertainments Of the third class the fol-
lowing sums: For each circus, or circus and me
menagorie, $500 for each exhibition: for each
hde-s6ow With any circus or mcuagerie, $50 Tor
zach and every day OF exhibition; for each con-
sert. musical or Minstrel entertainment given
nnder covering OF canvas, $e5 for each per-
Iormance.
The possibility Of the passage OF this ordi-
nance has raised a wall OF Indignation
among the circus managers throughout the
country We are In receipt OF number OF
letters from these managers, among others
one from the Hon. Joel Warner, the Super
intendent OF Barnum's shows, who thinks
that the passage OF such an ordinance Will
be a serious detriment to the city. "We
fntended;;' he says, ito visit Chicago with
our shows, but ii this ordinance should b e
passed it will certainly amount to prohibl-
ton Of all tent-shows, and will deprive
Chicago of thousands of dollars annually
left there by travelling circuses. No circus
ever visits Chicago without leaving
all the money they take in, and
often more. The employes always save
their earnings until they reach large city,
and then they draw their money and spend it
In clothing, jewelry. etc. The shows always
repair and reft during q weeks stay. We Of
course make money III place like Chicago
If the weather is favorable. but again, I say,
we leave it all in the city distributed among
bilIposters, printers, newspapers, mechanics,
and shopkeepers. We have always made
Chicago central point for supplies between
New York and San Francisco, but, If we are
debarred from coming there, we shall change
ourdepotto St Louis Boston charges So IL
cellse for Que week for circus and 1nenagerie.
Philadelphia $25 for one week, and it seems
70 me that Chicago can as well afford to be
liberal In such matters. ! really hope the
good sense OF the Chicago Council will come
to the surface in this matter and not allow a
few prcjudiced men to combine in passing
such an ordinance." Mr. Il. S. DinGess says
be has spoken with several circus managers,
and they are unanimous in saying that they
will have to pass the city rather than submit
to any fancy prices. He maintains that cir
Gus receipts are exaggerated, and they could
not afford to pay any such license. Dir.
Charles Stowe, OIL behalf Of Sells circus,
also protests, and ". R. Hayden, the theat-
Eica1 and circus manager, says substantially
what the others say: that the proposed
license is prep0sterous, and no show could
stand it.
There is very simple way OF getting over
the difficulty. If the license is too hign.-
more than the managers eau atforusto pay
then let the circus men raise their prices
while In this city in order to meet the in
creased tax If such an ordinance as the above
should he passed

The PHANARo GRISoUMETER. = The
phanaro grisoumeter is the name of new
apparatus for indicating the presence of
dangerous gases III fiery mines. A lamp
of peculiar construction and pyrometer
make up the instrument. The lamp is
covered with cylinder of wire gauze. A
wire spiral encircles this, and extends the
entire length of the cylinder the wires
are held in place by grooves cut in vertical
bars forming frame to the lamp, and are
fastened at the top to a ring attached to
the cap OF the lamp. The wire at the
lower end terminates in tube closed at
one end. As the wire dilates under heat,
the end of the tube moves a small lever
terminating in q sector gearing into a
pinion, on which needle moving on a
graduated semicirele is fixed. Constant
contact between the end of the lever and
the tube is maintained by small spring,
the indicating arrangement being protected
by a glass. The heat generated by the
presence of the burning gas In the lamp
expands the cell and actuates the needle.
To graduate the scale, the lamp is lighted
IN pure air, and zero ia marked when the
needle is stationary. A piece of iron, a
fifth OF the volume of the wire envelope,
being brought to red heat, is placed
within the gauze, and as the gauze begins
to redden-which represents the condition
of the lamp burning in an atmosphere sat
urated with gas-the position of the needle
is marked 100 after which the interval is
marked off into scale of 100 parts. l..

Bouches du Rhone, at Gardenne, is the in.

The Westminster Review" for October
A SENSITIVE TnERMoMETR1c

A SENSITIVE THERMoMETRIC APPARA-
TUs.-Prof. Dufour, of Paris, has arranged
thermonletric apparatus which shows
the changes of temperature in very
marked way. The mere approach of the
hand to the bulb will throw needle over
the whole of graduated arc The device
consists of a bent tube, having bulb at
one end, coated on the outside with lamp
black. The middle of this tube is filed
with mercury, and is supported by arms
nicely pivoted Above the pivot is fixed
an index needle, which moves across
graduated arc, and beneath the pivot
hangs rod to which is attached by fric-
ton a small weight, which serves to bal
ance the needle so as to make it point to
zero ON the arc. When the temperature
rises in the slightest degree, the heat, be-
ing readily absorbed by the lampblack on
the air-bnlb, drives the mercury forward
and displaces the center of gravity so that
the needle turns at once toward the right.
When the bulb is exposed to decrease of
temperature the needle points toward the
left. So sensitive is this apparatus to
changes of temperature, it has been neces-
sary, to check its sudden tipping over
when exposed to rather high heat very
quickly, to place two fixed pins at con-
venient points beneath the tube.

Americas Capacity for wheat


The English Government is interested to
know the American capacity for wheat pro-
duction. 1t is probable that no definite an
swer can be given at this time to this inquiry,
but we are inclined TO believe that the answer
given by the agents of the British Govern
ment has been at least satisfactory to that
Government-that this answer has for the
present at least allayed all fears that America
will fail to produce all thai England will re-
quired for consumption. a writer in the
american Miller, apparently well informed
on the subject, estimates that there are at
least 40, coo, 900 acres Of land in the United
States that can be devoted to wheat culture
The fact that the great crop of the whole
country for the last year would not be suffi-
Gent to seed the area upon which we could
sow and produce crops of wheat. gives some
idea of our great capacity in this direction.
With this vast area in wheat, the United
States would produce more than enough
wheat to feed the world upon. If the agents
sent out by Great Britain have comprehended
and reported our vast resources TO their Gov.
erment we think the report ought at least to
allaY al fears for the present.

Will be eagerly watched by all cattle men OF
the whole country. If there is any advantage
of one breed over the other it is matter of
great moment in a business sense that this
fact be fully ascertained and determined. If
there be difference of but FIVE pounds on
an average in favor of the Shorthorn at the
age OF three years, to know this fact is worth
millions of dollars to the beef-growing inter
ests of the United States alone. If, on the
other hand, that difference is in favor of the
Hereford, it is of equal Importance that the
fact be known, and the sooner the better.
These fat cattle shows are calculated to settle
this question sooner, and il more salts.
factory manner than it can be settled in any
other way. In view of the importance of
this question to the cattle growers of this
State and coast, would it not be well for our
State Board of Agriculture to take steps to
investigate the subject? This could be done
by separate fairs or shows held in the winter
or by offering premiums for fat cattle TO be
exhibited at the regular annual fairs in Sep
tember

Imports and Exports.

Nothing can show more plainly the mate
rial prosperity Of the United States than a
comparison of the imports and exports. The
figures of the Bureau of Statistics show that
in 1870 the imports of the United States,
gold value, were si19, SOS, l1S, while for 1880,
ten years later, the value of imports was only
S656, 1913, 44O-a ,tal increase of S236 395, 327,
or little over 56 per cent The same fig
ures show that the value Of domestic exports
of 1870 was s576, GIG AS, and the value of
exports for 1880 was 1874. LOG, 799-a total in
crease of SAL, 400, 326. or little over 1I9 per
cent, the ratio OF increase in value of ex-
ports being more than double the ratio of I'M
ports. This expose does not present fair
rate of increase production for the reason
that home consumption has more than kept
pace with home production.

Speed the plow.

The first real rainy day of the present sea-
son was the first day of December. On the
first and second the rainfall generally over
the State was more than two inches-an
amount sufficient to enable farmers to start
the plows. One year ago the rainfall up to
the first Of the present date was a little less
than we have had this year, and the fear
at that time was quite prevalent that there
would not be time enough to get in full
area Of land in wheat before it would be too
late to SOW. The same feeling has been en-
tertained this year, but since the rain has
been so general and SO plentiful this fear will
now disappear, and all will put the plows to
going with all their force and energy. Prob
ably within the next thirty days there will
be more land plowed and wheat Gown by a
less number Of men employed than has been
sown IL any other State in the United States,
or any other country. On all the large farms
one man viii handle six animals and will
run gang-plows of three plows in each gang
The grain will be covered with harrows from
ten 10 twelve feet wide drawn by an equal
number Of animals, and thus one man will
perform what in most of the older States
three men are in the habit of performing. Nos
only the gang plow but all the plows viii be
out to the best speed and the work of seeding
will be done up as rapidly as possible and at
She least possible expense of money and hu-
man labor. December is considered as good
month as any and perhaps the best in which
to put in wheat. Il is too late in the season
to be in much danger Of being injured by
drought after the grain has sprouted, and it is
still early enough to insure a pretty good
root and hold of the soil before warm spring
weather and rapid top growth. Wheat sown
In December is considered good for FIVE
bushels per acre at least more than wheat
sown in January or later. Hence we say
speed the pillow, but at the same time do the
work well. Wheat put in well-that is, where
the soil is well prepared and pulverizsd, and
the seed well covered-is considered good for
at least ten bushels per acre more than wheat
poorly put in There is more danger that the
crops will suffer from the seeding being done
badly than from its being done slowly. Let
what is done be done well though less be
done

a LUCKY HORSESHOE.

A farmer travelling with his load
Picked up horseshoe in the road,
And nailed it fast to his BAN door,
That Luck might down upon him pour,
That every blessing known in life
Might crown his homestead and his wife,
And never any kind of harm
Descend upon his growing farm.
But dire il! fortune soon began
To visit the as ounded man.
His hens declined to lty their eggs:
His bacon tumbled from the pegs,
And rats devoured the fallen legs;
His corn, that never failed before,
widowed and rottld on he floor;
His grass refusei to end in hay;
His cattle died, or went astra3;
In short, all went the crooked way.
Next spring great drought baked the sod,
And roasted every pea in pod;
The beans declared they could not grow
SO long as nature acted so
Redundant insects reared their brood
To starve for lack Of juicy food
The slaves from barrel sides went off
As ii they had the hopping cough,
And nothing of the useful kind
TO hold together felt inclined:
In short, it WIS no use to try
While all the land was in fry.
One morn, demoralized with grief,
The farmer clamored for relief;
And prayed right hard to understand
What witchcraft now possessed his land
Why house and farm in misery grew
Since he nailed up that lucky" shoe.
While thus dismayed DER matters wrong
an old man CHANGED 70 trudge along,
To whom he told, with wormwa cd tears,
How his affairs were in arrears,
Aud what desperate state of things
A picked-up horseshoe sometimes brings.
The stranger asked to see the shoe,
The farmer brought ii into view;
But when the old man raised his head,
He laughed outright, and quickly said,
" No wonder skies upon you frown-
You've nailed the horseshoe upside down,
Just turn it round, and soon you'll see
How you and Fortune will agree"
The farmer turned the horseshoe round
And showers began to swell the ground
The sunshine Laughed among his grain,
And heaps ON leaps piled up the vain;
The loft his hay could barely hold,
His cattle did as they were told;
His fruit trees needed sturdy props
To hold the gathering apple crops;
His turnip and potato fields
AstOnished all men by their yields;
Folks never saw such ears of corn
AS in his smiling hills were born;
HIS barn were full OF bursting bins
His wifi presented him with twins;
His nelgh0ors marveied more and more
To see the increase in his store.
And now the merry ia mer sings
" There are two ways If doing things;
And when for good luck YOU would pray,
Nail upyour horseshoe the right way
