The Little Hoppers Perform Many Won
derful Feats.
There is a circus now giving perfor'
in Germany in which the nc
tors are ordinary f1eas. They walk a
tight rope, draw. drive and ride in a
chariot, do a series Of dances and 9TH
er marvellous things.
1t cost wears of patient labor and
thousands of dollars to tr ain the lit
tie things. but it was ACCOMPLISHED al
last and what they do fills the onlook
er with utter a nazement. Thei- II ost
observation-disclosures is their dance'
and this was the most difficult thug
to teach them The first thing TO DO
was to break up their habit OF hop-
ping. amt this was done by barnessing
In wire a. fine as the thread Of a spi-
der's web. by means OF which they
were suspended 90 that only their
hind legs touched the floor. After n
few weeks of this treatment they lost
the tendency to hop. land were then
traIned to dance.
TIE harness used when they draw
the chariot ia made Of the same fine
v ire, and the most delicate instrr-
ments and the most delicate touch are
necessary in all the training.

MARSHAL SHORTS STATUS.

Congressman Ball Says His Appointment
Was Withdrawn and That He is Now
Holding ON Pending an appointment to
the Succession.
Relative to the announcement that
the Senate had adjourned without con-
firming the reappointment of United
States Marshal Short, which was made
during the term by President Roose-
velt, Congressman L. Heisler Ball said
Thursday afternoon:
Marshal Shorts appointment was
not pending when Congress adjourned.
Some time ago it was sent in by
mistake and Withdrawn at my request.
Since that time no person was recon-
mended for the place and no appoint
ment was made. Marshal Short is in
the same position that Collector Cooper
was after the expiration of his term.
An appointment may be made at any
time.n
But there is still mystery in the
situation, and it is this: If Marshal
Shorts reappointment by President
Roosevelt. was withdrawn, how was it
that the Associated Press reporter,
when he made his rounds of the de-
partments in Washington, Thursday,
found his name among the list of ap-
pointments that had not been acted
upon by the Senate?
Would it not have been stricken from
the list at the time of its withdrawal? :?
