HE CIRCUS AS A BUYER.
The Stock of Dry Goods Required by One
of These Big Organizations.

The Stock of Dry Goods Required by One
of These Big Organizations.
A recent issue Of the New York Dry
Goods Economist. in an article on Bar
mum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth,
mentions the following interesting facts:
In this connection it may be said that
few realize that great circus organiza-
tion is one of the largest buyers in the
dry goods market But few statistics
will be IAN eye oyener" in this respect.
Some think that circus provides its
forces with cheap materials. But in the
case of Barnum & Bailey, certainly there
is an error Everything, from the can
vas for the huge tents to the draperies
for the ballet and 'supes' is Of the best
which the market provides, aud Is
bought at TIE best stores, such, for
,xample. as Arnold, Constable & Co., and
E. ]. Denning Co.
The spread of canvass in the Barnum
& Bailey Show is something immense.
There are twelve tents taken by the cir
Gus when it travels, and altogether these
measure up 40, 900 square yards OF water
proof canvass The carpets and rugs
used in the rings, etc cover at least
3, 900 square yards OF ground
There are hundreds of embroidered
gowns. mantles and cloaks used by the
employees, aud these are made of the
heaviest plushes and velvet, while the
art work Is of itself an important fea-
ture. Many thousand yards Of tinsel
are used. always of the finest quality
| The 1000 pairs of tights and Jersey s
wpuld form a large stock in any dry
goods store, while there are hundreds Of
sBins of the wolf, leopard, bear, lion, etc {,
making q large fur stock The show
uses about 700 blankets for the various
animals. all Of fine quality. ThFre are
several single blankets for elephants
that cost between $500 and s 600 each.
The drsperies us at the entrance,
etc are very expensive, aud the up
holstery work throug ghout is Of great
elegance The shoe trade is not forgot
ten. as it takes 6, 600 pairs of shoes tc
supply the company. These are all
hand-sewed and represent large invest
ment The beautiful costumes in Col
umbus and the Discovery Of America,
are made Of the finest silks, setins and
real laces In short, when we learn that
to pack the dresses and upholsteries ol
the circus, 500 cases, each 125 cubic feet
In size, are required, we can see what {
vast consumer a circus is, and we arr
not surprised u learn thaJ every season
Barnum & Bailey spend from $500 t
500, 600 in new costumes, and in the ! e
pairing and refreshing of old ones.
The whole undivided show will b
here on Saturday. August 10, with tn
new million dollar free street parade j
the morning. and in the latter will b
seen hundreds of these elegan, sostl
costumes

Howard }. Cone, who for the past year
has been the agent of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad company at Salton, is at
home in South Pasadena on leave OF
absence for a few weeks A reporter en-
joyed talk with him about the Salton
sea, or lake, that has caused SO much in
terest throughout the country.
Mr.. Cone says temperature of l16
and l20 degs in the shade is quite a
regular and common thing at Salton,
but that the few white people about the
station and salt works manage to stand
it pretty well They prespire profusely
and drink enormously, all the water
used at the station being brought from
up the road by rail They find that
mixing oatmeal with the water is nour-
ishing and that it prevents illness. De-
spite the great heat. sectionmen work
out in the hot sun regularly, but, with
the exception of the boss. they are Mexi-
cans
Mr.. Cone brought up some excellent
photographs Of the lake. the station and
the submerged salt works, from different
points of view. He says the inflow and
the evaporation of the water about ccun-
terbalance each other, and that there
fore the level Of the lake remains about
the same, although the wind sometimes
carries floating debris back and forth in
a way to lead to the belief that the water
is rising or falling. He believes it likely
that the basin will continue to fill up
from the Colorado river to level with
the gulf. and that it will be permanent
body of water, with the Colorado fow-
ing through it to the gulf
The salt deposits are entirely under
water, and that industry is ruined. The
warehouse and small portion of the
Southern Pacific's track running beyond
the salt beds are still above the level of
the lake. but the main track is still 900
feet or more from its NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Eiectricity ana Ice cream Poisoning.
A new experience of the danger of
electricity has to be recorded DR.
George s. Hull recently conducted some
experiments with ice cream freezers.
and he finds that galvanic action takes
place, which results in the introduction
of poisonous salts of copper and zinc
into the cream. 1t appears that the
freezer and the paddle are generally
made of dissimilar metals, and the
cream, especially If mixed with fruits or
other acids or even saline substances,
forms an electrotyte, which naturally
completes the necessary conditions for
galvanic action.
With galvanic action there is, of
course, chemical action, resulting in
the formation of salts of zinc and cop
per. which become mixed with the
cream. DR., Hull has probably discov
cred the cause of many mysterious cases
Of poisoning which have followed the
consumption of ice cream. The remedy
however, seems very simple; if the
freezer and the mixer were made of the
same metal, no galvanic action could
take plaoe.
