ACROBATS' TRICKS.
Many of Them Became Proficient In
Sawmills of the Northwest.

Many of Them Became Proficient In
Sawmills of the Northwest.
Where do all the acrobats and tumb-
lers come from? Where do they learn
their trade? There is no school, as
such, for the training of men who i'm
peril their lives for a living. An old
acrobat solved these questions when
he told where he had learned to leap
and turn springs in the air and fall
on the back of his neck without in
juring himself. Most of the circus ac-
robats and not a few of the rough and
tumble comedians of the stage, who
have graduated from the ring were
reared and learned the rudiments of
their business in the lumber towns
of the northwest. In the business"
these are known as "sawdust towns" "
on account of the sawmills. which are
their chief industry. There are many
of these in Wisconsin and Michigan
and several in Iowa that have turned
out the bulk of the acrobats and tumb-
lers in the business.
In the "sawdust towns the small
boys have exceptional faculties fo1
learning to turn handsprings in the
great beds Of sawdust that surround
the mills: Soon they begin to try
the more difficult feats they see done
in the shows that visit the towns. AT,
ter school hours they tumble until
it is time to go home and do the
Chores From out of them all there
generally rise two Or three boys who
get the knack of the acrobatic feats
and these work in constant rivalry
each trying to excel the other.
One day along comes circus and
the best boy tumbler applies for job
and shows what he can do. Perhaps
he is given chance as a "top
mounter," or the top man in a pyra-
mid act, because he is light and ac-
tive. When he gets older, heavier
and stronger he may become an "un-
derstander," or one of the men who
help to hold a mountain of men on
their shoulders. And thus he gets
into the show business. If he works
hard and studies he may become a
good acrobat in time But he got his
start on a sawdust pile.-New York

WHITE MANS SCIENCE.
Effects Of Hot Climate Overcome by
Science.

LueCU8 Oh uOC CtlmuU0 overcome Oy
Science.
Truxtun Beale holds that the evil
effects Of hot climates on the white
man are being overcome by science.
Heretofore he has had to labor hard,
and thus reduce his vitality, but now
the rapidly increasing labor-sav-
machinery is saving him much mus
cular labor and shortening his hours
of work. Then clothing and hous-
ing and drainage and all sanitation
have been greatly improved, and prop
er ventilation and artificial ice have
come to lessen the detrimental innu-
ences of the climate. Mr. Beale cites
that many cases of the Chinese adapt,
ing themselves to all climates. The
Philadelphia Medical Journal, not
falling into line with this argument,
says: "No mechanical contrvance
for performing labor is likely to be
devised that will operate without hui
man guidance, and if such machinery
is operated by steam, gas, or electric
ity, additional heat must be gener-
ated somewhere. 1t is as much the
direct rays of the sun as the work
that kills by sunstroke; this is evi.
dent from the large number of team
sters who are affected during any
unusually hot days in summer in our
large cities. 1t is improbable that the
poor will ever be able to profit much
by artificial ice or cooling apparatus.
and even if they could afford it this
would necessitate some one to work
in intense heat to manage the power
, needed to run such plant. The Chi
nese coolie can hardly be compared
with the white working man. In the
first place he is not white man, and
furthermore centuries of life like pack
horses have given these men many oi
the characteristics of beasts. Then,
again, the heat and moisture of the
tropics are most favorable to germ
| life, and unless some means is discov.
cred (Which is very unlikely that will
| destroy bacterial life without injur.
ing other forms of life, the problem OF
combating disease in the tropics will
always be difficult one. No doubt
conditions in the tropics will be i'm.
proved so that the more prosperous
classes can live with fair degree o1
safety and comfort, but it seems very
improbable that the working classes
| which constitute the great masses o1
the population, will ever be made OF
anything but native.'

Winston Churchill and the major sat
side by side at the table, and the
martial potentate voiced his opinions
in his usual manner. Churchill bore
the infiiction dumbly for season;
then, taking advantage of pause,
when the major wanted to take
breath, he said, very complacently and
Grelevantly: "Do you know, major,

gladly forfeit fifty pounds for the
