The Barnum show recently lost a rhi-
nocerous, and was compelled to cable to
lIagenbeck at Hamburg to send on
another at once. Hagenbeck is the
largest animal supply agent on earth.
He furnishes the geological gardens of
London and similar gardens in the cap.
itals of Europe. Elephants are quite
common these days, and half dozen of
them could be bought for the price of
one rhinocerous.
The elephant is the meanest animal
that people have to deal with Every
body Is afraid of him, for no one can tell
when the big brute will take one una
wares to crafty some long-treasured or
fancied grievance.
A few years ago the show was in Roch-
ester, when the elephant keeper went in
the elephant car to see that everything
was secure before the train started. He |
fastened the rear door and thoughtlessly |
passed through the car to examine the |
front door. AS he was passing the ele-
plant, the brute, realizing that he was
alone with his keeper, crushed him 10
death against the side of the car. The
elephant Is the biggest coward of all
animals, and never undertakes to get
the better of his keeper unless he can
take him off his guard.
1t costs not less than $1,000 day to
run big circus and menagerie. Not
withstanding this seemingly large out
lay frst-class show is usually sure
winner. Before starting out a discount
for rainy days is made by averaging the
rainy days the past ten seasons. While !.
this is not by any means reliable, it af- !,
fords fair test.
Storms and tornadoes of late years
have interfered very much with the
profits of circuses. Last season the Bar
mum x Bailey circus was ruined by a
cycloneat Des Moines and they had to
send TO Cincinnati for a new tent, for
which the dimensions were given, and >
in three days it was made and erected y
by the show. All the sailmakers in u
Cincinnati were employed in making
the new canvas.
new canvas is made every yea, and
the one used the previous year is ear
ried along with the show for emergency. =
On the occasion alluded to the old can -
vas was left behind, and the show ex-
libited three days in a tent without
op. Fortunately the weather was fair. ?

DR.. sOmmer,s Theory of Sleep.

DR.. E. Sommer has contributed a pa
per to a well-known and widely circu-
lated medical journal in which ne pro-
mulgates the theory that sleep is the
result of degeneration of the or
ganism in which it occurs. According
to his theory the blood and the tissues
possess the property of storing up the
oxygen inhaled, and then supplying It
in proportion to the requirements of
the economy. When this store of oxy-
gen is exhausted, or becomes too small
to longer sustain the vital activity of the
brain, nervous system, muscles, etc, the
body falls into that particular state
which we call sleep. During the con
tnuance Of this deep repose fresh guam
titles of oxygen are being stored up in
the blood to act as supply to the awak-
ened vital powers. Rest without sleep
produces the same effect, though in
less degree.

THE CZAR'S VISIT TO PARIS.

The much-talked-of visit Of the Russian Car
10 Paris seems now 10 be assured. II will be in
its way one of the most striking incidents of the
year in Europe-indce1. in many years Nicholas
ii will be the first reigning sovereign formally
to visit that city for twenty-three years-the
first. with the single exception Of the late Shah
of Persia since the establishment of the Rcpub-
lie. The last preceding Russian Emperor who
visited IL was the present monarchs grand
father, 10 whom on that occasion VI. FlOque
addressed his famous "Vive In Poogne, Mon
sicur.' Whether or not after Nicholas III breaks
through the boycott there will be a succession
of royal and imperial visitors 10 Paris, remains
to be seen. 1t is not impossible nor improbable.
If the Autocrat of All the Russias can conde-
sccnd to be the guest Of a republic. who else
needs TO hesitate: The very thought Of such a
visit would, if 1t could reach him. make the first
Car Nicholas turn in his grave. He would have
deemed the bare existence Of the Republic al.
most sufficient caus" for war. But the times
have changed. and even Russia has changed
a little-wlth them The Frerch Republic is IN
established fact, which the s0yeregns of Europe
have come to recognize as pcrmanency. and
they may well give ii personal. as they al
ready do political, recognition.
There Is no Government more worthy Of such
recognition. For Of this we may he sure. that

and despite the dcplorable showing Of the cen

war. second TO no other Power on the Continent
of Europe Ii has given in thc last twenty-five
years such spectacle Of thrift and patriotism
as Is perhaps not paralleed in all the history of
the world Not since the Napoconic wars has
any nation been so crushed as was France in
