Blanche billiard. Mrs. Harry Dio and
Clara Ruel, the latter appearing in an
act in which the $40. 900 Arabian stall
lion, Ben Hur, winner of blue ribbons
at the New York and Chicago horse
shows, is exploited. A are and rois-
tering bunch of clowns, comedians
and knock-about specialists disport
themselves continuously throughout
the voluminious and variegated pro-
gram. The corps of fun-makers is
headed by Del Fuego, "the assassin
Of melancholy" and William Marks
and Fred Bachelor, breakneck comedy
equestrians.
Messrs. Sells 4 Floto have a pro-
nounced penchant for animal acts,
and their performance teens with ex-
hibitions of an amazing character by
equines. CANNES, donkeys, goats, pigs,
geese and elephants. Chris Zeitz,

parental feeding. 1t hops about and

MEANS END OF OBSERVATORY

The Greenwich observatory. Eng.

nomical stations OF the world, is about
to be put out Of business" according
TO the Electrical Review. by the pow
or station located near 1t by the Lon
don county council
The power station is located" says
the Review. exactly on the meridian.
about a mile south OF the observatory,
and. although It at present has but
small part OF its complement, the
entire equipment will have an output
OF over 10000 horsepower. Already
some disturbance has resulted from
the observatory authorities have
from the operation OF certain
generating units. and the oh.
servatory authorities have brought
the matter before parliament.
as they fear that when all the ma.
chinery is In place and running their
instruments will become useless"
As nearly all the world now gets
its longitude from Greenwich. all the
world will share In the wonder that
the British government was so inert
as to allow power station to be put
