Everyone almost has seen circus as it appears
from seat in the tent but there are few who have
travelled with the company day and night, studied
the inner life Of the circus folk and the thousand
details that make up the organization of modern
circus. The August cosmopolitan's article "The
Organization Of Modern Circus" deliberately IL
Illustrated with photos specially taken by the Cos
mopolitan's staff photographer, reads to the layman
like achapter from the Arabian Nights. Much has
been written about how Americas millionaires ac-
cumulate wealth in their business hours, but little
has been said about how these interesting individ-
uals spend their millions in their hours OF leisure

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Fruit Tree Parasite to Be Used
in This Country.

The department of agriculture is
preparing to fight the ravages of the
San Jose scale throughout the coun-
try with it's natural enemy, the lady
bug, brought from the interior of
China.
Assistant Botanist Marlatt has re-
turned from the orient, where he
sought the original home of the
dreaded scale. Far in the interior of
China, where European plants have
not penetrated, he found the scales,
and also the ladybugs which kept the
scales in subsection and permitted
the native plants to flourish. Mr..
Marlatt started home with good
supply of these ladybugs, but only
16 survived on his arrival in this
country, and IA of these subsequent
ly died. The two remaining ones,
however, were nursed carefully by
the government, with view to fight
ing the scale in the same manner as
in China. There are now so of them,
requiring the constant gathering of
scales from the department grounds
for food.
Although not expecting the scales
to be eXterminated in this country
experts are planning to attack them
with their natural enemies.
