Of energy for power also for light and
heating purposes. II Is far superior 10
petroleum or any forms Of gas which are
made from this substance Recently II
Is found 10 be Of great value with mean
descent nantes as a light, and also in
cooking Il yields more heat, is more cas-
lily controlled. and without odor; as
motor power for engines, motor wagons
and farm work II exceeds any force, even
electricity. The great obstacle 10 its
practical use in this direction is its ex-
pense. In Germany. where petroleum is
expensive, alcohol from beet roots is
found 10 b. cheaper and far more val
liable as a fuel. When free from taxa
ton in this country II can be used 10
compete with all forms Of petroleum. AL
ready inventors are turning their at
ienti0n 10 this most promising field for
light and power. The German expe-
rience gives promise Of great activity
In this direction. II is already used in
power stations as a fuel for the manu-
tacture OF electricity. and in this country
one or two motor wagons have appeared
with this as fuel Alcohol cannot be
banished, butitwillcometo be used as a
light and power producer and for the
purpose Of heating our homes. and not,
as at present, on some mythical theory

4 Mean Bull Subducd.

A common domestic bull when once
angered is the most dangerous beast a
man can run against, no! excepting
any wild beast They are feroclous and
treacherOus.
One OF the most remarkable cases OF
animal training on record is that of "a
Michigan man training a stubborn and
dangerous bull The OK in question
had made a reputation for his mean
disposition and it seemed as II every
one W. afraid of him.
Arthur Sunlen heard Of it and
bought the animal. He worked with
him for months and not only subdued
the bull but trained him to do every
thing but talk. 50 friendly is the bur
~ OK now that he would follow his
master around like faithful dog if he
could.
This particular bull and its trainer
are this Sc son with the Great Wallace
Show, and when it appears IN Farm
vile, Saturday, Sept. 18th, the unique
act given by this pair will prove To be
one Of the many surprising novel fea-
lures 10 be seen for the first time with
the Wallace Circus.
