Circus Horses Work Hard.

Travelling with a round top Calico
found to be no slnecure. The Grand
Occidental, being a wagon show, NOV
ed wholly by road. The shortest jump
was fifteen miles, but often they did
thirty between midnight and morning,
and thirty miles over country high
ways make no short jaunt when you
have q five ton chariot behind you.
The jump, however, was only the be-
ginning Of the days work. No sooner
had you finished breakfast than you
were hooked In for the street parade,
meaning from two to four miles more.

over the intricate subject during the
day, retired to bed. Some time after
ward he arose, dressed, and, seating
himself at his desk, worked out the
problem accurately, covering sheets Of
paper with his calculations. He had

An Odd Eiah.

One Of the oldest fishes that ever
swan in any sea is that known to nat
urallsts under the unattractive name Of
ophiocephalus. A species of 1t is found
{n the sea of Galilee, where 1t builds a
nest which for beauty of design and ell
egance Of workmanship excels the eff
forts of the majority of feathered nest
builders. Its favorite spot for building
is in an old root or rock projecting I'M
der the water, and the material con-
sists Of seaweed, grass and leaves.

M ade Them Work.

When electricity vas first being nut
to commercial uses, the Carnegie Steel
company invested in electric travelling
cranes to the extent of $3.50, 900. After
the cranes had been delivered and paid
Tor, the discovery was made that they
wouldn't work. AS a result, the men
who had talked Mr.. Carnegie into Civ
ing his approval TO the purchase of
the. cranes sat up nights trying to find
y way to nlake them travel, and Incl
dentally wondering what would happen
TO them IL they did not discover the
way.
While these lieutcnants were thus oc~
cupied an transformations chemist in
the Edgar Thomson works, who has
recently come from Germany, spent his
spare time in making a mysterious set
