FINE FEATURES IN THE CIRCUS


on Tuesday, I4th.
The Sells & Downs circus comes to
Americas on Tuesday, 14th inst The
menagerie is said to be very COM
plete one, containing the finest collec-
ton of rare wild beasts to be seen The
newspapers all along the line speak
highly of this huge entertainment, and
the ''small boy, as well as those elder
folks VINO are ever bright and youthful
IN spirits, will be delighted again with
the feats of the many male and female
performers, the handsome horseF, the
wonderful exhibitions of Wild beasts,
the marvellous aerial acts, and the
exciting races on the hippodrome track.
The reputation of Sells & Downs for
faithfully carrying out all their ad-
vance promises and for dealing fairly
with the public in all things, affords
positive assurance that their show will
eclipse anything of like nature seen
here before.

Delightful Affair at Amerlcus Club Last

the first german of the season, and a

Fifteen points to the good was mark
ed in cotton values yesterday, and the
man behind the firmly held bales smiled
in his wisdom. The advance yesterday
put the price in Americus up to 10s cts.
for the finer grades, while the split silk
quality might possibly have brought
104 cents. But there is little doing In
the way of sales. Farmers appreciate
the value of spot cotton in the face of a
crop of only $40. 100000 bales, or less,
and no amount of "bear" argument
will shake them. Receipts here are
falling off each day, and the barren
fields and empty ginhouses in this Sec
ton point to the fact that the jig is up
SO far as this crop is concerned.

The Water Boat AfIoat.

the water has run out. You can pro-
duce better imitation of speed by u.s.
ing, instead of the pan little wooden
boat of more shipshape model with the
water tube projecting over the stern.
but unless the vessel is very broad Of
bean it will capsize.
In fact, the boat is made not to go
fast, but to illustrate a principle by
going at all; and another illustration
of the same principle is given by the
water mill now to be described.
The mill is made Of the same lamp
chimney, or another, with corks or
plugs in both ends. Instead of one wa
ter tube it has two, three, four, or
more, going out like the spokes of a
wheel and bent at the end-all In the
same direction. The chimney is set
upright between two pivots, which
press against the upper and lower
plugs, and is filled with water through
a hole in the upper plug, which also
serves to admit air when the mill is
turning. The only use of the top plug
in fact is to give point of support,
and the vessel must be open to the air
at the top. AS the water flows out
through the little tubes the mill turns
in the opposite direction, and if there
is not too much friction at the pivots it
will soon be spinning rapidly. The wa
ter boat and the water mill are ex-
amples Of what are called reaction ma
chimes. The principle they illustrate
is that, generally speaking, you can.
not move anything without moving
something else in the opposite direc-
ton. In both Of these cases as the wa
ter is forced out in the direction of the
water tube the boat or the part of the
mill from which it flows is driven in
the opposite direction. The recoil or
'kick" of gun is another illustration.
AT the instant of firing the gun moves
backward, if it can, but it you are hold
ing 1t against your shoulder you feel
the reaction as kick" and if the
gun is heavily loaded you may move
backward with great promptness.
A vessel might be propelled by firing
heavy cannon from the stern.
Now, If your big brother, who is a
Yale sophomore and nearly full of wis
dom, says that the pressure of the
stream of water against the air tr1ves
the water boat and the water mill, tell
him you know better.
The air has nothing to do with it,
and the little machines would go just
as well if there were no air-better,

Turnverein i'm War Time

The first Turner societies in The
United States were founded in Phila-
delphia and Cincinnati in 1871, and
shortly after, the New York Turn
verein had its start in Hoboken. Two
years later ten societies were flourish
ing and these were formed into Ma
tional Turner union, says Outing.
The revolutionary spirit which
blazed fiercely in Germany in 1S4S
was rushed for the time and many
patriots of superior education and in
teligence fed to this country as an
asylum. They were strangers in a
strange land, unable to communicate
with the native born and sociability
was limited to intercourse with their
own countrymen. They had been
Turner'S at home, using this organiza-
ton as nursery of patriotism, in
which high ideals of political, social
and religious progress were cherished,
together with the training of the body
for the hardships of the field and
camp.
This ideal Of classic times, wisely
reincarnated in modern Germany to
serve a nations needs, was trans

The Secret of the Dial.

Ask any person to think of some
hour of the day; tell him to deduct
it from twenty and remember the re-
mainder. You take out your watch
and inform him that you are going to
count around the dial, and that when
you have counted the number cor
responding with the remainder that he
must remember he must stop you.
Suppose he thought of 5 o'clock.
Five taken from 20 leaves Is remain
der. You now count promiscuously
(mentally, not orally pointing at each
count with pencil to one of the hours
on the dial (Which must be provided
in advance and is made by cutting out
a circle of cardboard and marking on
it with ink the IL figures of the clock
face).
Be sure when you msxe the eighth
count to point to the "12" and thence
in regular rotation backward toward
the left. When you come to the figure
five" you will be stopped, correspond
ing to the remainder-15-which he
was to remember. You will thus
know that o'clock was the hour
thought OF.
If this trick be repeated more than
two or three times, it is we'll to vary
the number from which the deduction
is to be made. Thus, instead of de-
Quoting az in the foregoing example,
five from 20, the person addressed
may be tola to deduct the hour though
may be told to deduct the hour
thought of from IS; but as Is is only
six more than II, you must be sure
to make your sixth (not the eighth)
promiscuous count be at the figure
"12" on the dial.
In the first example, with 20, the
eighth count was made at "12" be-
cause 20 is eight more than II. If %

l am tempted to ask the reader
merely to believe, because l say so,
that the destruction of disease germs
is possible.
OF course l don't mean to assert
that we are yet in possession of
knowledge sufficient for our purpose,
even supposing that mankind had set
itself on the determination of disease
microbes, says c. w. Saleeby, M. D.,
in Harper's Weekly. For absolute
success we must know much more
than we do. In the case of malaria
our knowledge is practically perfect.
We know the life history of the mi
crobe from the cradle to the grave.
so to speak, and therefore we can ex-
terminate it whenever the public of
the planet gives the word. On the
other hand, we have not yet discover
ed the microbes of many diseases,
such as measles and whooping cough
and humps, and even "cold in the
head" But these are mere matters
of time. Similarly, we must recog-
nize that microbes go through mil
lions OF generations when other crea-
lures go through one. At the end of
twenty-four hours microbe may nave
grandchildren with "great-great" add
ed on. Therefore they can vary very

quickly. And We know that certain
conditions may cause innocent mi
crobes so to vary, after few thou
sands of generations (taking next to
no time), that they become harmful.
All this question must be investi-
gated on even wider scale than at
present; so that we may be able to
kill all the microbes that are even po-
tentially dangerous, or else modify
them so that they are dangerous only
to creatures which are dangerous to
us. An instance of this is already
furnished in a sense, bE the plague.
The microbe of mis- disease-the ba
cillus pestis-discovere ten years
ago by the great Japanese bacteriolo-
gist Xitasato, is mainly conveyed
from place to place by rats, which die
even more readily than man of this
terrible disease. Therefore man has
declared war on the unfortunate rat,
his co-victim.
AS disease gradually diminishes
upon the earth, with the disappear
ance of its chief cause, certain great
changes will occur in human life. It's
average length will be greatly in
creased-certainly by several decades
for microbes shorten the life of
every one of us, even when we die of
so-called "old age"

Odd Things About Money

are being made every month and
shipped to Shanghai. The coins are
officially known as the 10-cash coins,
corresponding to our American 1-cent
pieces. One hundred of these coins
weight slightly over twenty-four
oueces and a pound and half cop
per costs only 10 to 20 cents. No
great amount of power is needed to
convert the copper into coin and plenty
of labor can be had at from 81 to So
gold a month
According to Chinese computation,
the pound and half of copper in
money is worth abont Slip Mexican,
or so cents in gold. While issuedxat
the minis for 80 cents to one Mdxi-
can dollar, go great is the demand for
these copper coins among the Chinese
that they pass current among the
people for from 95r to 81 cents. A
new mint with an output of 100000
of these coins a day will start up in
Hangchau this month. The new coins
are not only driving gold cash out of
circulation, but will have to be reck-
oned with when a new monetary sys-
tenn is made for the Chinese empire.
