The Chicago Herald presents a series Of
pictures, reduced from photographs, depict
ing actual scenes in one of the greatest ag
gregations ever exhibited beneath canvas.
Their accuracy will not be questioned by
those who have visited the circus recently
Reference is made to the spirited drawing of
la Tascot, the Human Fly, " in her daring
act of diving into net. The artist has evil
IDENTIFY made mistake in his perspective, for
as the picture is drawn the suggestion that
the stakes are too short forces itself on all
who make critical analysis of this spirited
sketch. The LA Tascot" on the bill boards
is far prettier female, but her face lacks
the decision and character portrayed in the
original Many are disappointed that the
dive is not made head first, as per advertise
ment, but this feeling soon passes away.
The artist has shown Signeor Kelly in the
star act of the evening. Signeor Kelly is the
champion "bear-buck" rider of the world.
Those not acquainted with the dangers which
surround the life of circus performer may
fail to properly appreciate the risk taken by
Signeor Kelly in the feat undertaken by him
as shown in the sketch. There is a cdance
that the upright SO firmly grasped by the
rider may break or pull out What would
become of the unfortunate MANI He would
be dashed to the sawdust track. Then, again,
the horse might drop dead. Those not in tn
business have no right to criticise, but it is
hard to keep out of ones mind the recollec-
ton of a scene shown on the bill boards,
where flying horse dashes around the great
ring, carrying on his back graceful rider,
whose toes seem hardly to touch the gallop-
ing steed.

tried to bray but the effort died out in
feeble cough, and with a gentle convulsion
peryading his frame, he fell upon the
yielding soil to rise no more. The gentle,
Webb sterian zephyrs of summer and the
merciless blasts of winter now whistle
through his polished bones as they lay
upon big real estate bargain just beyond
the dam site over Jordan, and we shall know
him no more.

ACT.
He could have given valuable pointers about
the proper proportions of the various ami
mails, and would have added to the collection
beasts and birds and reptiles which could now
be used to advantage
The circus artist is q wonderful man, with
a phenomenal size of imagination and su-
preme contempt for facts. He looks with
disdain upon the modern realistic school of
art He has no use for realism. The circus
artist probably knows his business. For
many, many years he has been drawing pic
lures of elephants forty feet high tramping
their way majestically through scenes OF
Oriental splendor Five generations have
stood with glaring eyes and open mouths be-
fore these great works Of the photographers
art They have patronized each succeeding
circus, and swallowed the rising lump of dis
appointment occasioned by the discovery
that the seventy-fve foot giraffe could stani
erect in a seven foot cage. One hundred
years from now it will be the same.
No man looks at the bill boards after the
circus has left town. As he passes by he
looks the other way. 1t is matter of regret
that the circus is so far behind the progress
made by the artist and the advance agent.
The advance agent is talented gentleman,
with an enthusiastic temperament. AS the
circus becomes more and more Anticipated
the advance agent grows more eloquent. He
announces that all former achievements will
be cast in the shade; that the colossal aggre-
cation is grander than ever and that the
price of admission will not be increased. The
circus artist is equal to the occasion. He de-
signs new elephant, with a trunk thirty
feet in length, and draws vivid representa-
ton of life and death fight between the
wild yat of Patagonia and company Of
sailors who have stepped ashore from man.

Shoes of the Japanese.

A Japanese shoe for ordinary wear is
block of wood with flat top, an up
ward slant in front, followed out place
in the front of the heel, a covering of
hghtly-woven straw mating on the top
on which the shoe rests, and V-shaped
cord or thong, with point at the top
and the two ends at either side of the
heel
The point of the V is fastened to the
shoe by another cord or thong. The
shoe is put on simply by running the
foot into the V so that the big cord at
the point goes in between the big toe
and its neighbor.
The Japanese in their houses wear
light shoes or slippers with woven soles
without heels, or else go in their stock
ing feet. These stockings are made
with thick soles and are divided like
mittens, there being a place for the
big toe and another compartment for
the four lesser toes. This bifurcation
of the stocking enables the wearer to
put ON the shoe described above and get
a good grip ON it with his toe. Japan
ese peasants wear also a rude wooden
shoe raised ON stills, like the Persian
ceremonial shoe.

The Oldest Pair of 4 wins.

Samuel and John Wise, who are be-
lieved to be the oldest pair of twins in
the United States, if not in the world,
reached their eighty-frst birthday yes
terday. Both learned the undertaking
and cabinet making business, and from
1928 to 1868 carried on that business at
Main street and East Washington lane,
Germantown. The site has been used
continuously for that purpose since
1863. The two brothers resemble each
other very closely, and even their rela-
tives have got "Uncle Sammy" and
" Uncle John badly mixed up. Both
are widowers, both were twice married,
both have the same number of descend
ants and both are very deaf. Their
physical health is good, and they are
two as jolly old gentlemen as one viii
meet in days ride in a stage coach.
1t has only been within few years that
they have shown any signs of mutual
decay. Neither of them ever used to-
bacco or any strong stimulants. Many
friends called to congratulate them yes

A VANISHED RACE.
Queer Sculpture and Painting on the
Rocks in West Virginia.

The erection Of the new government
dam in the river near this city has hid
den from sight the famous pictured
rock" one of the familiar landmarks Of
the Kanawha Valley and one which has
occasioned much wonder and fruitless
speculation, writes a Charleston CIV.
Va. correspondent. The rock was 10
Gated near the mouth of Paint Greek,
and, while the river was in the natural
condition, was visible at low water
every summer. Some years ago part
of the stone was removed for building
purposes, an act of vandalism which
should have been prevented at all haz-
ards, and now the remainder is sub
merged at all seasons Of the year.
When whole, the surface of the epic
tured rock was about twenty by thirty
feet in extent, and was covered with
representations of animals, fish, and
fowls, carved deep in the smooth sur
face. On one side were the figures of
man and bear, the latter being about
life size. Near by was buffalo track,
and short distance away was the rep
resentation of large fish and number
of footprints, evidently representing
the imprints of a child's feet. The
work was evidently done by prehistoric
people, as the traditions of the valley
are that the representations were on the
stones when the first white man visited
the region, and that they then bore un-
mistakable signs of great age, being
water-worn with age.
The vicinity of Paint Greek is rich in
aboriginal and prehistoric relics, and
volume might be written of the discov-
cries which have been made there.
Almost every excavation brings TO light
something OF interest to the antiquarian,
and there is every evidence that in past
ages the valley was thickly peopled by
an unknown race, probably contempor-
airy with the mound builders OF the
Ohio valley.
At Moorefield, from the time Of the
first settlement, the cliff known as the
Gap Rocks, in the Petersburg Gap, has
borne the gigantic representation of
common fox. The picture is upon the
sheer and inaccessible face Of the rock,
some thirty feet from the top and nearly
one hundred from the bottom, and
being colored dingy yellow, in sharp
contrast to the brown stone, has been
visible for long distance. Last Tues
day, Glen McGill, of Ohio, who was
visiting Cell Beans, near this place,
went out to view the fox, accompanied
by Mr.. Beans. After an inspection
from the bottom Of the cliff the two men
assembled to the top, and making rope
fast to a tree, McGill lowered himself
down TO the fox. He describes it as
being about twelve feet long, and paint
ed or plastered upon the cliff with q
substance resembling earthenware glaze,
which is as hard as the rock itself. The
surface of the fox is quite rough, as
though the stuff was roughly smeared
on by hand before il hardened. There
was a high wind blowing at the time
McGill made his venture, and he ran
risk. He took along a
mallet and chisel, intending to cut his
name on the fox, but was prevented by
The force Of the wind, which swung him
about at an alarming rate.

The Buffalo Tree-Hopper.

This active little insect belongs to the
order Hemiptera. 1t is one-third of an
inch long, of light grass-green color,
with whitish dots and a pale-yellowish
streak along each side. 1t gets its name
from the curious resemblance of two
points, one jutting out from each side,
to the horns of buffalo. Its body is
three sided, not unlike a beech-nut in
form. Like other hemiptera, it takes
food by suction, being furnished with a
sharp pointed beak which it easily
thrusts through the bark into the sap
cells.
1t feeds on the apple and many other
trees from July until the end of the sea-
son. The winter is passed In the egg
state. The eggs are laid in rows of
punctures made by the female oviposi-
tor, which is thrust through and under
the bark. The young Larvae are of the
same color as the adults, and also pune
ture twigs and leaves to feed upon the
sap.
Before the young obtain their wings
they may easily be caught and destroy
ed; but the adults are entirely too ac-
tive for this measure to be successful.
However, it is not probable that it will
ever become more than a temporary an
noyance to sde fruit-grower. Twigs in
which the eggs are placed may be cut
of and burned.

THE RIVER.

Through winding valleys and by upland
farms
The river sweeps with many foamy crest
Until it falls into the meadows arms
And sleeps with scarce a dimple on its
breast,
Save when the wheeling swallow dips its
wing,
Or leaping minnow leaves a widening ring.
The silver osier leans above its brink,
Weaving a checkered screen of sun and
shade;
And here the shy, swift lizard comes to drink,
The dainty-footed snipe and heron wade,
And, like chain of emeralds and gold.
The silent adder's glttering coils unfold.
The watcr-y dips its vase of snow
In many shallow cove along whose edge
The graceful reeds and purple fag-howers
grow,
And dappled river buds and tufted sedge;
And in the stream beneath their image lies,
Mirrowed like beauty in lovers eyes.
o river, was it for these shadows dim,
The COOL pellucid deeps and rushy fens,
And flowers that bend above thy grassy rim,
That thou dost fret among thy mountain
glens?
o happy river is thy turmoil past
And hast thou won thy perfect peace at last
All, no: l hear low continuous voice,
Impatient ever, from thy broad, deep
breast;
Thou hast not found the haven of thy choice,
Nor yet is it permitted thee to rest;
o river, there is no repose for thee
Till thou art lost in the obliyous sea
o river, rushing river OF my youth
Bright turbulence that ever bears me on
To seek some higher good, some truer truth,
Shall not rcpose be ultimately won
IN some calm haven where my toll shall cease
And all my days be locked in perfect peace?
All, no: the sleepless voice within me cries,
GAN things flow onward like this restless
river;
There is no rest on earth or in the skies,
Nor any ceasing in that strong endeavor
Which whirls the ponderous planet on its
pole
And leads man blindly towards some I'M
known goal"

Uses of Soapstone.

A writer in a London journal calls at
tention to the unappreciated uses and
preservative qualities of soapstone, a
material, he says, which possesses what
may be regarded as extraordinary quail
ties in withstanding atmospheric infiu-
ences, those especially which have so
much to do with the corrosion Of iron and
steel; it being a well known fact that the
inside of steamer which is not exposed
to the action of salt water, like the bot
tom, corrodes much more quickly than
the outside. 1t has, too. an additional
quality in this line, one which adapts it
in remarkable degree as a protective
point for ships, and this is the extreme
t:neness of its grain; indeed, ground
soapstone is one Of the finest materials
producible, and, from experiments made,
it is found that no other material is cap
able of taking hold OF the fibre of iron
and steel so readily and firmly as this.
1t is also lighter than metallic pigments,
and on this account, when mixed as a
paint, is capable of covering a larger
surface than zinc white, red lead, or
oxide of iron. In China, soapstone has
long been largely used for preserving
built Of sandstone and other
stones liable to crumble from the effect
of the atmosphere; and the covering
with powdered soapstone in the form OF
paint on some obelisks in that country
composed OF stone liable to atmospheric
has been the means Of
them intact for hundreds of
years.

The great smelter at Anaconda,
Montana, was destroyed by fire
last Friday. From parties from the
smelter city tits learned that the be-
lief is firmly fixed that the fire was
the work of an incendiary. AS to
the loss, it will be much greater
than had been foreshadowed by the
estimates made at the time of the
fire. The building was 32Ox60O
feet in dimension and it took over
200 mechanics more than year to
build it. 1t contained forty of the
mammoth Brueckner furnaces and
thirtv.two mating furnaces. A
mining man says that allowing 81
per cent to be lost on the machinery.
he did not believe that three-quar-
tiers of a million, would make the
company whole again. A round
million would probably be very
nearly the correct figure, and the
loss in production must also be es-
timated. and with the present
selling price of copper this foots UP
very rapidly.
