THRILLING CIRCUS ACTS.

New York Post.

New YORK Post.
1t was about three years ago that the
circus performers passion for making y
human gyroscope of himself became IN
acute mania. In most of its features the
circus OF to-day lis the same the circus
depicted on the Assyrian monuments. There
has been. however, one innovation in tie
last half decade. 1t is absolutely necessary
now for every first-class circus to contain
some peculiarly hair-raising feat performed
with wheels or some sort of whirling things
on some rather elaborate piece OF apparatus
which can be built up i'm the middle Of the
ring. First il was the descent of long
of narrow spiral without any hand rails
on a single wheel. then the thrilling loop
the loop" then the riding OF a bicycle
around the inside of a vertical cylinder.
For the first year a newly invented feat
is usually one mans property being so diff
ficult that no one else can do IL. The second
year there are schools 10 teach the act, and
every third-rate circus can put on the great
act II IL cares to. Ddnger-loying young
men I'm every quarter OF the globe now
spend the winters I'm inventing new sensa-
lions for the circuses OF coming years. Two
additions TO the stock of feats have already
been announced. First comes man who
proposes 10 loop the loop on roller skates.
This should be an interesting act 10 watch
because of the likelihood that the man will
fall on his head when he gets half way
round- The tornado" is even more spec
tacular. There Is scaffold fifty feet high
for the start, two wire ropes 10 serve as a
track leading down. a double loop or
wood at the bottom and a net at the
wooden pathways end. The performer gets
inside of hollow rubber sphere and the as
sistant places the ball on the two parallel
ropes and gives IL gentle push. IL goes
down. makes two revolutions In the loop
and finally bounces into the net, when the
performer steps out giddy but uninjurcd.
Twice around the loops Is the best perform
ance yet IL staggers the imagination TO
conjecture what the coming years will bring
forth In the way Of circus sensations when
so many creative intellects are applying
themselves 10 the subject.

THE "MONO-RAIL."


New York World.
A railway speed of 10 miles an hour,
not for an occasional burst for limited
distance but upon a regular schedule be-
tween two great cities, is promised by the
managers of the new ''mono-ral'' line be-
tween Manchester and Liverpool. England
The distance is thirty-four and one-half
miles; the line happens to coincide pretty
closely with that of the first steam rail-
road i'm England of any importance, and
it has the advantage of level and almost
absolutely straight right of way.
The ''mono-rail'' theory is not unknown
in this country. Remains of line Of this
sort may be seen near Coney Island and at
Patchogue, L. l., but both these attempts
were failures In the Liverpool Manchester
line the track is laid at some height above
the surface; is formed of triangular frames
placed at intervals of about a yard at right
angles to the route. and across the tops of
these frames is laid the main rail. The
carriages are built saddle-shaped, with their
driving and carrying wheels running on
the main rail and their bodies hanging
pannier fashion on either side.
Two guiding rails are LAID along both
sides of the frames, one about two feet
above the other. The carriages are fitted
on each side with horizontal wheels which
run along these guiding rails and have
flanges on their under sides to prevent the
carriages rising or swinging off the track
and where electricity is the motive power
used two further rails are laid along the
ground for supplying the current to the
motors.
There will be double track through
out and as far as possible the course will
be straight On leaving the terminus at
either end of the line Will fall for short
distance on a severe gradient. so that trains
starting may gain speed quickly and trains
arriving may be stopped abruptly prin-
ciple familiar in the tube railways i'm Lon
don.
No attempt will be made TO serve any
places on the way by intermediate sta
tions, and the whole distance will be
covered i'm twenty minutes. There will be
no trains; single carriages will be dis
patched i'm each direction at intervals of
ten minutes. Station buildings will be

VENEZUELAN BAD FAITH ALLEGED.
Action in Settlement of Debrio Claim
Threats Said to Have Been Made.

Wilemstad. Curacao. June 16.-The following
advices have been received here from Caracas:
According to the Mexico-Venezuela protocol
signed at Washington May s. if the Venez-
uelan tribunal did not render a favorable
Judgment before June ], 1903. for the claimant
in the case of the Mexican citizen Martinez
Debrio who claims 100000 for money lent to
Venezuela in 1926, the mixed tribunal was to
consider the claim and adjudge it. To the as
tonishment of all in Caracas and indicating now
Venezuela is disposed to act regarding the for
eign claims the Venezuelan Federal Court was
charged by President Castro to reopen the
case, which had lain dormant since 1859, with
new judges. who within three days and without
notice to Senior Debrio's representative here,
rendered a Judgment for $30,O61, being only
about an eleventh part of the amount claimed
The Venezuelan semi-official press considers
the Judgment as inrevocable, but 1t is pointed
out that Article VI of the protocol says: III the
High Federal Court of Venezuela decides in
favor of the claimant the Mexican claim VIII
not be submitted to the mixed tribunal The
foreign lawyers and legations in Caracas re-
gard as untenable the pretension Of Venezuela
that the granting of only an eleventh part or
the Mexican claim constitutes favorable judg-
ment, and it is believed that Senior Debrio Will
not accept the judgment and that the claim VIII
go before the mixed tribunal
The government official press has been bitterly
attacking for the last five days the American
French and German claimants before the mixed
tribunal calling them Venezuela's pillagers and
threatening them with reprisals. Many of the
claimants are traders and intimidated by
these threats The French bankers who offered
funds to carry out the unification of the Venez-
uelan debts have withdrawn their offer IN the
face of these attacks upon their compatriots
