kfafsier of Circus Gymnasts Tells How

But 1t is not in the least dangerous,

er should attempt to fall in a net from
any height whatever he would be al
most sure to break some bones. Should
he stretch out his arm to saw himself,
he would be very likely to break it In
two places. Should he light on his
heels, he might break his leg, or, more
likely, pitch forward and break his

and hold them full, double yourself up
into a knot, leaving no limb free, and

come to no hurt. This explains the
cannon and catapult tricks. Why, once
we attempted the catapult trick in a
hall where the roof was so low that we
had to sink the catapult below the floor.
The gymnast forgot all about having
his net lowered a corresponding dis
tance, and when shot $50 feet forward
and upward at the same time-didn't
he come down underneath the net and
land slap-bang IN his shoulders on the
bare floor? We picked him up for dead.
You may hardly believe me, but it had
only knocked the wind out of him and
shaken him up a bit. The next night
he was performing as usual. That just
shows what the muscles of the Shout
1ers, together with an elastic cushion
of air in the lungs, will resist. Then,
Of course, in the case of gymnasts, the
