WILD ANIMALS WHO ACT.
Taught to Perform Comedies and
Dramas in the Hagenbeck-
Wallace Shows.

The marvellous pageant of trained
wild animals that has been prepared
for the delectation of the amusement
seeking millions that each season Wis
it Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows which
will exhibit at Gooding July %, has
never before been equalled in the
history of the world. The answer is
that these circus kings are not alone
control the wild animal market of
the universe, but select for their own
great shows the choicest specimens
who are the most apt pupils of their
expert and skilful trainers. In the
enlargement of this wonderful organ
ization these same wild beasts per-
formances have by no means been
made a secondary consideration, but
have been amplified to the wide limits
of the possible under the personal d.
rection of the great wizards of the
wild The result Is series of exhi-
billions so wonderful and awe-inspir-
ing that the spectator Is soon under
the spell of the vague but real i'm
preston that he has been transplant
ed to a realm of magic, the truth of
which assertion will be apparent to
the reader who may visit the classy
circus known as the HagenbeckWal
lace Shows, and meets with sensa-
tional surprises that come so fast
1 h<xr
Waving the varied circus features of
these great shows, such as the midair
and arenic performances, and the
large colony of clowns, all of which
would more than fill the programme
of two ordinary circuses, the trained
wild animal exhibition deserves more
than passing comment These wild
beasts performances are condu ,ted
in a colossal steelgirt arena with such
precautions that it Is a matter OF re-
cord that no accident TO a patron mas
ever been known to occur. Here one
is forced into a state Of speechless
amazement at the almost unbel'evable
spectacle of former most implac'ble
foes of maddest ferocity responding
to single trainers gentle ind bare
ly perceptible directions, amicably
and with undoubted pleasure at their
own historic ability, and all In happy
accord, building dizzy p"ramids OF
themselves, riding tricycles, cavorting
on the see-saw, balancing with skill
not short of human upon rolling bar
rels, form themselves into soft living
touches for the temporary repose of
their human master, feasting at the
table and stretching their terrible
red months for the insertion of the
trainers head in sign of peace and

DOUBLE sEANK SPIKE.

and a slight bending Of the spike
causes a movement of the spur with
respect to the body Of the spike and a
loosening of the spur.
In order to overcome these Difficult.
ties new form of spike has been in
vented which Is illustrated herewith
and which consists OF two separate
shanks, A and B. connected to the
same head, d. Furthermore, the bridge
c that connects the two shanks Is ar
ranged to cut into the wood. The head
is of such form that the spike may
readily be withdrawn whenever de.
sired. 1t will be observed that the
shank adjacent to the rail is longer
than the other one and that each
shank terminates in a chisel cutting
edge of such form as to facilitate the
driving Of the spike into the tie. The
bridge G connecting the shanks is
formed with cutting edge adapted to
sink into the wood. Lateral thrust on
the spike is resisted not only by the
area of both shanks, but also by that
Of the bridge portion G. The substan-
TALLY parallel sides of each shank rem
der the device less liable to work loose
than If it were tapered throughout its
length. Fig. shows spike in detail.

CEDAR FOR PENCILS.
Only Wood the Price Of Which 10
Quoted by the Pound.

Only Wood the Price of Which 10
Quoted by the Pound.
The lead pencil is one of the most
common articles in everyday use, and
since practically the only wood used
In Its manufacture is red cedar and
since the pencil industry is steadily
growing C320lOOO,0O0 are manufactured
annually in the United States) the sup
ply of red cedar is becoming greatly
depleted.
Red cedar has soft, straight grain
and is very free from defects when
properly grown. Because of its pecul-
lar qualities no good substitute for it
has ever been found, and It is doubtful
If any other wood using industry is so
dependent upon single species as the
pencil industry is dependent upon red
cedar, 1t Is the only wood the price
OF which is quoted by the pound.
The popular belief is that the second
growth of red cedar never reaches
marketable size, says Country Life In
America, but the forest service has
made careful study OF the subject
and has reached the conclusion that 1t
can be probably grown in regions Of
its development.
Some changes are recommended In
the present forest management In or
der to secure the desired growth. In
the southern forests it must have a
better chance instead of being consid-
ered' as now, a negligible quantity in
us younger stages. Many OF the for
est grown trees which are now cut for
Ienceposts can probably be left to
attain their full development and thus
become available for pencil wood.
