CIRCUS MAIIMUS.
Another Big Rehearsal for the Pro-
posed Roman Revival.
More Evidence That the Production
VIII be a Great Success-The
Dancing Girls at Work.

The second big rehearsal for the Circus
Maximus, which is TO take place during
the coming State Fair, was held last
evening in the arena of the imitation CO.
Hseum erected for the production.
There was full attendance, with the
exception of the boxers class, quite a
delegation of them being at San Francisco
attending the tournament for amateur
coast championships.
The rehearsal was a complete success.
and demonstrated again that the Sacra-
mento athletes have lost none of their
enthusiasm-on the contrary, they are
more determined than ever to make the
Roman revival the main feature of the
fair. The band was in attendance at the
rehearsal, and the grand march was gone
through with in good shape. Over three
hundred people were in the march, COM
pIetely circllng the immense arena.
After tho march, the young ladies who
are to take the parts of the vestaI virgins
came out and sang their ode to Cesar.
They were followed by the gladiators'
ode, and then the dancing girls appeared.
They surprised every body with their
marching and dancing, and Professor
OMalley, their teacher, was compli-
mented on all sides. The performance of
Llle young ldClleS was OF Jne UfSt order,
and when they were through the other
performers applauded them to the echo.
Miss Maud Caswell, who is to dance
solo In the show. next appeared and gave
the giadiators another surprise. Her
work showed that she had been practic-
ing faithfully. She was graceful and sim
uous, and took the athletes by storm.
Some more marching was INDUCED in
after which the line was broken and the
various departments-gladiat retairii
and myrmillions, discus-throwers run
ners, leapers, javelin-hur etc.-took
different parts of the arena and began
practicing. This lasted for some time.
The club officials had considerable diff
hculty with strangers, who insisted upon
being present to see the rehearsal. 1t
was announced that hereafter none but
the performers and State Agricultural So
ciety Directors and reporters would be
admitted.

Rain on st. swirhIn,s Dav.

The old superstition about st. Swithin
and the rain has very generally died out,
There are, still, however, a good many
who incline to the belief that such a
notion must have had basis Of scientific
fact, or it could not have obtained as it
has done for centuries. Some years ago
the records of Greenwich Observatory
were examined for twenty years with a
view to ascertaining whether as a matter
of fact rainy July 10Th is usually fol-
lowed by rainy period approximating
to forty days. 1t was found that the
years in which st. Swithin's Day had
given no rain were rather wetter during
the following forty days that other years.
1t was concluded than the tradition had
no meteorological facts whatever to sup
port it. Everybody has heard the old
story about the removal of st. Swithin's
bones on July 18th, and of the manner in
which the saint resented it by deluging
the district. It is a curious fact, but we'll
authenticated, that the good mans bones
were shifted from their original resting
place in circumstances of considerable
pomp and splendor, and without drop
of rain falling. The origin Of the super
stition was probably a terrible flood
which in 1919 devastated crops.-London

The BLOOD OF Pnenmonia pntinnts.

According to the Bonichnaya Gazetd.
some interesting observations of the
blood in pneumonia have been made by
Kikodse. He found the white blood cor
puscles increase in number to as much as
double or treble the normal amount: in
fatal or very severe cases there was no in
crease found, though, as a general rule,
the increase begins even before the Dhv-
steal signs OF pneumonia are detected,
and it persists from that time on TO the
crisis, with but little variation. suddenly
falling after the crisis. Ii appears to he
due to the re-entering into the circulation
OF the corpnscles which have passed out
into the alveolar spaces-hence probably
the preponderance OF over-mature cor
puscles, and, after the crisis, this pre-
ponderance ceases. 1t is also remarked
that such increase, when observed. is
found in the fully mature and over
mature corpuscles rather than in the
young ones.
