the Outlaws are booked right into the
middle of 1908.
What they do is in measure shown
in the illustrations. One of their
tricks is with a rope, the ends of
which are held by the teeth of the
male performers, who project in
horizontal position from steel bars
three yards long inserted into the ped
estals seen in the photographs. The
horizontal position OF the performers
is maintained in the only way possi

The lady. who, by the way, weighs
130 pounds, vaults into the dip of the
rope, and after a few graceful poises
to show that she is quite happy and
at home, sits upon it as one might
sit upon a swing rope, and performs
the whirlpool" which is not very
accurate designation, for a whirlpool
revolves in a horizontal plane, where
as Madame revolves in a vertical
plane, turning thirty somersaults, as
it were, only she is on the rope all
the time, her hands grasping the
sides.

form in each, sometimes as contor-
zionist, sometimes as rider in the ring,
sometimes on the trapeze, and some
times in general acrobating. Then he
had to do the cooking for the others,
who all belonged to Sunny Italy, and.
Indeed, to one family. When they
came to st. Petersburg he went to the
Austrian Consul and revealed the
plight he was in-how he worked and
yet had no money, and so could do
nothing for himself The consul
promised to assist him and between
them Outlaws fight was arranged. He
fed to Odessa and there Joined an
other circus as an accomplished all
round performer, at the magnificent
salary of twenty-five cents a day and
his food 1t was magnificent to him,
who had for eight years shaved for
nothing; and in two years he found
himself the proud possessor OF $50.
He now quit circus life ana with an
other acrobat began to perform in
halls at gradually increasing prices.
Soon after came his marriage to an
expert French wire performer.
Meanwhile there was nothing in
Outlaws show that differed from what
many other acrobats were doing.
Five years ago, however, he and his
wife were out Of an engagement. At
such times acrobats have to work just
as hard as when they are engaged
for they must keep up their practice
The gymnasium the Outlaws went to

end of it, the other end being attached

be kept up, else her occupation would

In searching for an answer to this

After the rope comes the wire

wire it is, and six yards long. 1t is
suspended from the teeth of the men
standing on the pedestals, as shown
in the illustration. The lady treads
it. passes herself through hoop while
on it, juggles on it, plays the guitar
on it, while the men accompany her
on mandolins. The men next got on
their heads as seen in the illustration.
Their heads rest on pads inserted in
steep pipes and receive the downward
force exercised by the lady performer,

ing resisted by the men grasping the
handles of the supports in front of

RUBIEs THAT ARE NOT GENUINE
"Reco ms structed" Stones That Have Lit
tIo Monetary Value.

Between two and three years ago
there appeared on the market what
is now known to the trade as re
constructed" ruby. 1t is not an imi-
tation gem 1t has all the chemical
and physical properties of the real
thing. 1t is as hard. 1t possesses the
same specific gravity and is as genu-
inely beautiful in color. Even the
cleverest of experts will admit, if he
be pressed, that he distinguishes it
rather by the absence of flaws than
by the presence of defects. A recon
structed ruby is apt to be too perfect.
OF course, as soon as these stones
began to be sold, people in the jew
elry trade began to try to find out
where they came from. They discov-
cred that a Frenchman had learned
how to fuse small rubies, or fragments
of rubies, in an electric furnace and
mold the resultant product into one
perfect whole.
In time the purchasing public got
to know this also and the price of the
quasi-artificial gems dropped by de-
grees from 500 a carat to about $50
Nevertheless, at this reduced price
the manufacturer" and his wife and
son are rapidly accommodating huge
fortune, and their pile" will continue
to grow doubtless until either the pub
lie tires of his stones or some one
gets hold of the family secret.

FIVE DOLLARS FOR RARE BIBLE

Esaisr Gets Valuable Aitkin Edltion
for u soPE.
One of the rarest books turned up
the other day in a Boston auction
room in a wholly unexpected manner
The library was not remarkable onei
but there were enough desirable books
to attract almost every old book deal
er in the city.
The bidding on the box containing
this hook was rather lively on account
OF some book plates in certain books,
and was finally knocked down to a
Bromfeld street dealer for S5
When he examined his purchase he
found himself owner of the rare Ait
kin Bible, the first Bible in the Eng
lish language published = in the Unit
ed States of America.
It's rarity can be estimated from the
fact that there was no copy of 1t in
the Livermore sale, which took place
in Boston in 1894, and which was
thought to contain the most complete
collection OF Bibles in America, among
them a copy of Cromwell's Soldiers
Pocket Bible, that was sold for 81 900 ,
the Coverdale Bible, $780, and Eliot's
Indian Bible, which brought $3.50.

Youths Have Theories OF Their Own In
Regard to Sermons
Presbyterian elders may sit severely
in judgment on the theology of young
preachers. but for ruthless criticism
on preaching it is hard to equal a col
lege audience. Manuscripts in the pull
pit are considered undesirable by
them, and any sermon the length of
which is more than twenty minutes
must be more than passing good to
gain approval. Most objectionable OF
all is an attempt to play to" the audi
ence by reference to athletics. This
is felt to be an obvious departure
from the preachers province, and is
not to be tolerated. The 1 oys keep
