"PHOTO TEA" IN LONDON
Mrs. Potter Palmer Starts New Craze
in Europe.

London society is in the throes of a
its inception to the fertile brain of Mrs
Potter Palmer. 1t is called the photo
tea and has caught on because it is
productive of much genuine amuse-
ment.
Each guest who receives an invita-
ton is requested to bring a photograph
of himself or herself taken before the
age of five. All the photographs are
duly numbered, and a list of names is
kept by the hostess. After being COL
lected and shuffled they are distributed
among the players.
The fun consists in endeavoring to
trace the Identities or portraits, a diff
ficult matter in most instances. for
time and art play sad tricks in English
society.
So many minutes are permitted for
observation, and then the number of
the photograph and the guess at it's
identity are written on sheet of note
paper. The pictures are then passed
on from one to another. and the same
program in gone through with new
subject The result of the second OBJ
servation is also recorded.
This goes on until every photograph
has passed through the hands of each
guest, The lists are then inscribed
with the players names and are COL
lected. The player who is successful
in fixing the identity in most cases
receives the first prize, and the second
and third prizes go to the next in the
number of accurate guesses
| The sight of perplexed PLAYER
staring fiXedly at each guest until he
can make up his mind who was the
plump boy in the velvet knickerbock
ers or the chubby checked girl in
plnafores and plaits is screamingly
funny. One need not be much of q
prophet to prognosticate the speedy
appearance of the game in the States

ADJUSTMENTS
DOG ACROBAT WITH CIRCUS.
Wonderful Canine Balances Man On
Its Head.


A dog acrobat is the latest European
importation in the arenic amusement
line; and it is genuine acrobat at
that. The animal belongs to the De
Kock trio, a strong feature with the
Ringing Brothers circus, Which is to
appear in Walla Walla, Thursday
Aug. Is.
Two of the De Rocks, with the dog
in the middle, do a three high stand
the dog standing On its hind feet on
the head of the ground man, and the
other man with head down balancing
or. the apex of the dogs Uranium.
One would think such an act impossi-
BILE for a dog to perform, but the De
Rocks are proving that such is not the
case Another act, which in Europe
last winter was much talked about, is
that of the Patty Brothers, one of
whom walks and jumps and goes up
stairs on his head without using his
hands.
Of all the spectacular acrobatic acts
the performance of the Mirze Golem
troup from the court of the Shah of
Persia takes first place. The act is
full of the most difficult of acrobatic
feats, all of which are performed on
high, orientally .draped pedestals. Nov
city and beauty are the dominant
characteristics of the act of the Mar
nellO- Marnites. still another impOrta-
ton. There are four in this troup, and
to the legs and arms of each are
opera music as the four acrobats turn
somersaults and lhandsprings and exc
cute twisters from shoulder to should
err
The eight Belfords are presenting a
big act with many difficult features in
its makeup that no other family of
acrObats are doing, and the Legard
trcup, the Borsenis and the Alvarez
trio, all just from Europe, are other
acrobats with Ringing Brothers cir
Gus who have conceived and are exc
cutting entirely new feats. Marguerite
and Hanley, man and a woman, are
presenting an exhibition of strength
and endurance that is astonishing.
Never before in the world has such
an array of talent been assembled as
is represented on the list of the 300
performers OF this the best of all cir
cuses. The Ringing Brothers have
sounded the keynote of novelty in every
detail of their program. AS we'll as
the worlds leading acrobats, they have
also selected from European talent
the best of the riders, clowns, aerial
lists, jugglers, tumblers and arenic
specialists. Their show is SO large
that five long trains are required TO
haul it from place to place; their
many tents cover II acres of ground
and they have with them nearly 1900
men, women an dchildren, 65S horses,
nine herds of elephants and the big
gest menagerie on earth.

BLOCK SYSTEM IN BUSINESS.
Mechanical Device to be Used Among
Men as "Spotter."

wen as Spotter.
Use of the famous "block system"
in railroading has prevented many
collision and other bad accidents, but
the idea of applying the same principle
to business in the conduct of factory
and office affairs seems little over
drawn, but it is a fact that this will
soon be DONE According to the details
of an invention just perfected at Ro-
chester, N. Y, man has brought out
device for keeping track of employees
and their time in the same manner in
which the block system keeps track
of trains. In this age of increased ex-
penses in all lines, business men find
that they must economic in time. The
rate track of every movement of an
employe whether engine wiper or
stenographer, and it is so constructed
that when an employee is given a task
he can receive no credit for his time
until it is completed The system of
dividing time and work into blocks
as the railroad divides it's right of
way, makes it impossible for a work.
man to enter one block until he has
cleared the last one. Thee device is
absolutely automatic and the record it
makes is infallible. 1t is so construct
ed that an employee cannot beat it,"
1t will save thousands of dollars in
lost time and promises to work some
radical changes in the conduct of large
concerns. The inventor has never eX
hibited his device publicly although it
has been thoroughly tested. The first
time it will be shown will be during
the National Business show at Mad
ison Square garden in New York. Oc-
tober II to 10 and at the same show iI.
Chicago, at the Coliseum, November 3
to 16, and it will prove to be of in
tense interest from many standpoints.
At these big shows many new devices
will be seen. For the first time in the
history Of the business the stationers
will have show of their own. Sta
toners row is attracting a great deal
of attention and promises to be fully
as interesting as the exhibitions of
the wonderful devices that will be
seen there.
