fuel used was bricks made with the
dung of cows or camels, mixed with
straw and allowed to dry in the sun.
These were of slow combustion, with
very little smoke. The doors which
opened into the gallery served as
Chimneys to let out the smoke, which
finally escaped through openings in

fires were lighted from two to four
times a day, for one hour each time
according to the weather.
When the smoke from the fire had
subsided the openings from the rooms
into the gallery were carefully closed
by stuffing them with coarse tow, by
which means the heat was more eff
fectively confined. When the fires haa

not make this discovery until long
after even the son was dead. Old DR..
Hoover made some wonderfully fine
white wine from some siXty-year-o -old
vines on a tract near the First street
bridge in the SOS. He practiced in
the SOS and belonged to that class of
physicians, rare in these days, who
kept no accounts and made few or no
collections. .p ..
Dr. Edgar was a well known and
highly respected physician of the An
gellc City. He came here originally
with Gen. Fremont. He was stationed
at Drumm barracks during and after
the Civil war. lie practiced In the city
during and after the early '70s, his ac-
tive service extending during about the
whole of that decade, although ] cam
not recall the exact date of his retire
ment.
Edgar was a very superior man. He
was a great friend of Gen. Winfield
Scott Hancock, they were very much
alike i'm the suavity of their manner,
and were very much together during
their residence here, Just before the
war The doctor left his wife, who was
q chum of Mrs. Hancock, rich; al
though he was not noted for collecting
his fees with much punctuality, he had
the extreme good sense to invest in
real estate, owning a splendid estate
up in the San Gorgonio pass and valu-
able realty on Main street and else
where, which has made Mrs. Edgar q
very wealthy woman, fact which
pleases the community not little.
DR.. Bush Was Another
DIR. Bush practced here in the early
'7Os and had lived there to his death,
very recently. His brother, G. H..
Bush, the jeweler died still more re-
Gently. They both left large estates.
The doctor had done very little in med
icine to help accrete his fortunes. Thir-
ty years ago he was elected to the
state senate on an independent ticket,
although the doctor was and remained
to the last day of his life even fero-
cious Democrat. In those days, when
Volney E. Howard and one or two old
rocked ribbed Democrats became ennui
of the regular operations of the party
they generally rugged up some side
show, to one of which Dr. Bush owed
his temporary elevation. 1t was fun
ny episode i'm politics. j don't think
the doctor ever knew what 1t meant
and certainly l never succeeded in
formulating any acceptable theory Of
the episode.

education. as well as by nature, a man
of considerable significance, disappear

of speed would spell death to the per-
former
A novelty in this race with death is
afforded by reproducing wheel with
in the larger wheel, in which the per-
former rides in defiance of all the laws
of gravitation. The smaller wheel,
about seven feet in diameter, is so ar
ranged that the performer can be
lashed firmly inside it, his arms and
legs tied fast. something in the man
ner of spokes. The wheel is then
rolled down a steep incline for about
fifty feet and round and round the in
ner circumference of the great wheel,
which is about twenty-five feet in di-
ameter.
The speed thus obtained is so great
that the mans legs and arms are lost
to all appearances in one whirlinS
maze. In training for this feat the in
ventor, a German named Eclair, had
himself strapped to d wheel which was
turned with crank, thus accustoming
himself to stand upside down. Several
performers have been killed while do
ing this trick by a rush of blood to the
head.
Circle of Death
The "circle of death" came next. In
this act large fiat truncated cone is
used, which is supported in an inclined
position with one side, that of the
smaller diameter, resting on the floor
One or more bicyclists climb over this
circular fence, and, after riding around
the floor at top speed, steer their wheels
on to the almost horizontal sides of
their cage and whirl around and
around, their bodies meanwhile being

held in a horizontal position by their
momentum. The feat is certainly thrill
ing enough i'm itself, but the interest
in it dragged after time and was
revived by raising the vertical track
in the air while the riders We're in mo-
ton. still further novelty was intro
duced by suspending the track with the
riders above a cage of lions, preSum- |
ably of the eating variety. While |
this act was being performed in Ber |
lin one of the riders fell, carrying the
other two with him, but without fatal
results.
Another development of the circle
was the "globe of death" The most
thrilling features of looping the loop
and the devils Wheel are combined
in this feat. while the element of dan
ger is somewhat reduced. Two bi
cyclists are engaged in this act, a man
and a woman, and the riding is done

furious speed both in vertical and hori-
zonta directions. crossing and recross-
ing one another's paths. A fall IN this
case is not so much to be dreaded.
The "loops" held the center of the
stage for some time until it was dis
covered that the wheels, when being
ridden upside down, jumped a certain
section of the floor In other words, |
in traVersing n considerable arc of the
circle the wheel was literally in mid
air. AS a result, an act was devised
similar to the loop, but with the super
fiuous arc cut out. The word gap
then came to be used instead of loop,
and the performers therefore looped the

I, ly reversing its position in doing so
and running off on a horizontal at the
other end.
This feat was made more or less safe
by having the wheels run in f1anges
so that the car could not leave the
track. The trick soon became familiar
and audiences were no longer inter-
ested in feat, however thrilling in ap-
pearance. which lacked the actual dam
ger of death. These revolving cars are
familiar at seaside resorts the country
| over.
The new act is called "the whirl-
wind of death and has already APP
peared in Paris. In this act the auto
mobile, with it's occupant firmly lashed
to the seat, runs down an incline at
terrific speed and up short curve,
when it is launched fairly into space

used is practically the same as the
one employed by the human arrow"

mind as to whom the joke was upon.
Probably 1t was about the time a lot

Was a Great Rebel
The old doctor was a great rebel,
though he toned down greatly in his
later years and grew to know the value
of restored union and the worth of
the men who had made it's maintenance
possible. l remember his telling me,
in that spring of 1873, that when Lin
coin was assassinated his soul was so
irradiated with joy that he must yell
or burst To give Il loose tongue to his
sentiments in Los Angeles in those
times of excitement meant death, In all
probability. So he and a friend took a
buggy and drove out to the doctors
San Pasquale ranch and had a good,
long howl and returned home satisfied.
The old gentleman undoubtedly in
time came to a realization of the fact
that Lincoln, if he had lived, would
have been the most potential friend of
the south. Strong as were his rebel
sympathies, the doctor never lost the
warm friendship OF Gen. William Te-
cumseh Sherman or Maj Gen. Win
field Scott Hancock. They never failed
to hunt their old ante-b bellum COM
rade up when they came to Los An
geles, which, in the case of Sherman,
was quite often.

Some Early Doctors Here
Written for The Herald by Col. Joseph 0. lynch

~ r physicians in Los Angeles there
( is no end just now, and singu-
lary enough they have always
abounded here in great numbers. For
a health resort of worldwide reputation,
this is to be accounted for probably by
the fact that the doctor, as other men,
has pondered Christ's admonition
Physician, heal myself" and is as fond
of good climate as are his patients.
OF all the old-time physicians DR..
John S. Griffin was the most dis
tinguished. He was a brother-in-law
of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. In ad-
dition to his medical practice he was a
shrewd and active business man. He
came here before the war, having been
a surgeon in the United States army
He became so attached to Los Angeles
that he determined to settle here. He
was one of the men to whom the city
fathers gave in 1869, a thirty-year
charter of the water company, and
which was repurchased for the city a
few years ago for So, 100000.
In the early days the city ran into the
doctors debt for a considerable amount
and decided to pay him in land lying
across the river, where East Los An
geles now is, at so cents an acre. The
doctor told me he got so tired of seeing
Engineer Hansen measuring off endless

Hansen, if you don't stop claiming
off that land to me I'll take a double

your head Off"
From this, and other things of like
kind, 1t will be seen that there was a
grain of humor in the old doctor. was
his guest on a short visit made to Los
Angeles in the spring of 1873. He was
living at that time in the only house in
East Los Angeles. Think Of it! only
thirty-two years ago.
DR.. Griffin sold the tract on which
Pasadena now stands to Wiley & Berry
for the Pasadena colony. They pur-
chased one-half of the old San Pasquale
rancho and one-half of the waters of
the Devils gate for $3.50 an acre. DR..
Griffin was for some years in the habit
of thinking that he had taken In and
done for the Yankees" as he called
the Hoosiers, at a terrific rate. He
had sold them the worst half of the

as if he had been ossifed and set up
somewhere as an invertebrate structure.
1t is said that certain German widow
could have told the story of these un-
toward developments, but she did not
and died before the doctor. And there
you are.

Attended Pico
DR.. Geleich was the finest type of the

a son. perhaps some other children
and an accomplished Wife. He had
been a surgeon in the army in the civil
war and his first Wife was a niece OF

or all the physicians who ever fig
ured in Los Angeles, in earlier or later
days, the most stalwart and tremen-
dous was DR.. Richardson who came
here from Texas after the "late un-
pleasantness." He was a genuine high
roller. if he rolled at all, because he
was six feet four inches and built

first advent in his profession as a sur
geon on a steamer bound to Mazatlan
from Liverpool in 1912. From that
point he came to Santa Barbara on IA
visit to his brother, and was persuaded
to remain there, finally coming to Los
Angeles.
During the hostilities in California
between the United States and Mexico
in the later forties, Dr. Den was on the
medical staff of the native California
forces, acting as their chief surgeon
and medical director. In 1S4S he went
into the mines in Calaveras county, but
did not remain long affiliated with the
pick and pan. He was one of the seven
original founders of the California
Pioneers. In 1854 he returned to Santa
Barbara, and. in 1866, he came to Cali
fornia for good and all.
Had His Oddities
He had many peculiarities. He was
always well dressed and well groomed
In the color of his clothes he was par
tial to brown, and mounted on n splen-
did black, seventeen hands high or
more, with his white locks flying over his
shoulder, he looked like an elderly
Phoebus Apollo as he dashed through
the streets. He was always clean
shaven courtly in his manners and
with the ladies the wonder grew that
the doctor never married. But bachelor
he was still when at the age of a.
he surrendered his innocent soul to his
Maker for innocent of soul DIR. Den
was looked upon by every man, wo-
man and child in Los Angeles He was
innocent even to eccentricity, was a
deyout Catholic and charitable in the
extreme. With his death daily spec
tacle ceased to delight Angelenos.
DR.. White was one of the famous
early doctors. He was a Southern gem
tleman Of note, and was the center of
great deal of gaiety. He came to Los
Angeles in 1850 from Florida. He was
dignihed old doctrnaire, and, like his
friend DR.. Griffin kept his accounts in
his head, and made a collection when
he was hard up for cash. He was the
father of Mrs. Kewen, Mrs. Judge Nor
rson and II. JEFF White. There was
more joy and social festiyity attached
to these names in the early fifties than
to any other names in the southern
portion of the state.

NAMED lost art. The principle of
- the modern incubator was derived
from the ancient Egyptian egg oven.
The art was kept great secret and
was only known to 'the inhabitants OF
the village of Bernie and a few adjoin-
ing places in the Delta, who left it as
an heirloom to their children, forbid
ding them to impart it to strangers.
Ihe number of ovens dispersed in the
several districts was never allowed to
increase without the circumstance be-
coming known, as 1t was indispensable
to the preservation of the secret that
each oven should be managed by
Bermean, not one OF whom was per-
mitted to practice the art without
certified license from the Aga of
Bernie, who received so for each
license. The Matching oven was
brick structure about nine feet high,
the middle formed into gallery about
three feet wide and eight feet hlgh,
extending from one end of the building
to the other. The gallery formed the
entrance to the oven and commanded
the whole extent, facilitating the vari-
Gus operations Indispensable to keep
ing the egg at the proper degree or
heat.
ON each side of the gallery was
double row of rooms. eight i'm number,
the rooms on the ground floor having
over it rooms precisely of the same di-

three feet high. four or five feet in

of the locality, and their capacity was
from forty thousand to eighty thou
sand eggs. The eggs were laid upon
mats of flax or other uon-conducting
materials. In each of the upper rooms
