Many Novel Sights When Circus
Comes to Town.

zebras harnessed to a light buggy
and driven as horses is one of the
novel sights that will be noticed in
Ringing Brothers parade when the
big circus appears In Newark on Fri
day, May 81. A team of twenty camels
hitched to a great Egyptian chariot,
also teams Of elephants, llamas and
deer, are other remarkable features of
the street display.
For many years Ringing Brothers
have had the reputation of presenting
a circus parade far more attractive
and longer han hat given by any
other show. This seasons street en-
t~ertainment more than ever reflects the
genius and skill of the five brothers.

p~lainant. n he stated that all the
witnesses were present. They were all
notified to be in attendance again next
Wednesday, WIN the hearing is to be
held. Mr.. Kalisch stated that the COM

TRIO To
FIGURE IN SUIT

Are Sightless.

Trial of an action for damages, in
which blind people are the chief actors
or interested parties. is scheduled for
trial in the Supreme Court circuit be-
fore Judge Heisley as soon as the
pending case is closed.
1t is a trolley suit, in which John

fore was crowded into a dozen circus
programs. New York city declared it
to be the best circus bill ever seen in
that city, and Madison Square Garden
was not half big enough to hold all
who sought admission. The perform

there.
The Arthur Saxon trio Of strong men,
the wonderful Schumann performing
horses, the Taximeter stations, the
double somersaulting automobile and
Roblidello. the Spanish wire wonder,

the bill. Not in fifty years anywhere
on earth has there been a single act

This is to be the biggest circus event

to New York for a visit He was a
guest at a well-known hotel, where
everything pleased him except the abb
sence of the very torrid auces and
spices to which he had become accus-
toned in the Ear East. Fortunately,
he had brought with him a supply of
his favorite condiments, and, by ar
ranging with the lead waiter, these
were placed on his table. One day an
other guest saw the appetizing bottle
on his neighbor's table and asked the
waiter to give him some OF that
sauce.
I'm sorry, sir" said h waiter, but
1t is the private property Of this gentle
man" The minister, however, over
heard the others request and told the
waiter to pass the bottle.
The stranger poured some of the mix
ture on his meat and took a liberal
mouthful. After a moment he turned
with tears in his eyes to the minister.
You're a minister of the Gospel?"
"Yes. sir"
"And you preach hell and damna-
ton?
Eyes" admitted the minister.

COMPARATIVE CYCLE EXPORTS.

In 1908 Germany exported 14,126. 100
worth of cycle and parts, against &c.
$685. $50 the year before. Despite
the decline the Germans are ahead Of
Great Britain, the next leading ex-
porter, which sold abroad last year s6,-
$3.50. 185 worth Of cycles (other than
motor cycles) and parts, while of
motor cycles the sales were $27s,672.
The British, however, have extended
their export trade in both these lines,
the respective amounts in 1907 having
been IS. 2S0,O52 and $259.00O, while the
exports in 1906 were proportionately
less.
The American manufacturers OF
cycles and parts have been steadily
losing their foreign trade. The exports
in 1903 were over 81, 600 900 in value, in
1907 they were only 100000 aid last
year only 800. 900. The foreign market
has been allowed to be absorbed by the
Germans. who have rapidly increased
their sales where American makes
| we're once predominant.

A SUCCESSFUL NEW
CHINESE YARN MILL.

According to a Chinese journal, the
Kuang vi Spinning Mill Uiinited1, in
Changtehfu, Honan Province. has a
bright future before 1t. as it is cen
trally situated both for Chilli and
Honan, with the railway in its vicin-
ity in the east and the Grand Canal in
it's rear to- the south. 1t is tho only
spinning mill in the five northern pro-
vinces, and the cotton it consumes Is
produced locally In Changtehfu. The
total cost of a bale of yarn works out
at about SAL gold, and in Chengting,
Shunteh In Chilli Province. and
ChAngtehfu In Honan some 100, 900 bales
Of yarn are consumed yearly, at over
S54 a bale, The mill has at present
$4,000 spindles, capable of turning out
20 bales every twenty hours, working
day and night. 'Reckoning the time Of
work at 300 days in the year. the OUT
put win be 21,0O0 bales, so that it hard
ly meets the demand even in the Chihli
and Honan provinces. When the mill
Is extended, and with lower prices for
cotton, the profits of the mill will be
greater than its present total of S240, 900.
which is at the rate of s12 per bale on
10000 bales, OF the $500, 900 capital for
the concern, $3.50, 900 have been sub
scribed, and the remaining shares are
being issued in Tientsin, as none is
needed to purchase cotton. The mill
commenced working on January II last.

TELLS HOW HE'LL
COURT SIGNALS
FROM MART|ANS
Prof. Todd Describes Novel Plan
to intercept Message
from Balloon.
EXPECTS TO Go UP TO
HEIGHT OF TEN MILES.
Wires Will Lead to the Ground,
Where Records Will
Be Made.

BOSTON, Mass. May IL-Professor
Daxid N. Todd, head of Amherst Col
1ege observatory. today his
plans for picking Up messages from
Mars by means Of wireless instruments
carried up in a balloon to the edge OF
the earth's atmosphere Shut up in an
alright tank, borne aloft in a huge
balloon, Professor Todd will make the
first attempt ever made by the inhabi-
tants of the earth TO intercept mes
sages from the people of the planet
Mars, who, astronomers are inclined to
think. have been signalling 10 the earth
by means of ether waves for years.
The attempt win be made in Septem-
Der, when the planet is at its nearest
point to the earth. Professor Todd will
be accompanied by Leo Stevens. of New
York, a celebrated aeronaut, who will
endeavor to pilot the balloon to a
height Of ten miles. The outlay. it is
expected, will not exceed $1,000.
If there are human beings on Mars
said Professor Todd. Il have no doubt
that they have been sending us mess
ages for year and are still wondering at
our stupidity in not replying.
In the basket of the balloon will be
our two cylindrical tanks, each about
four feet high and from two to three
feet in diameter, and capable of hold
ing a single person. Entrance TO the
cylinders will be by a manhole on the
top, fitted from the inside with a COM
press cover screwed in place from the
inside. As soon as we reach the low
outside pressure above this cover
would hold itself in place. even though
it were not fastened.
"hTe weight of each of these tanks,
which will be built of either steel or
aluminium, is to be about 200 pounds.
We shall carry appliances for taking
specimens of the air in this rarifed
region. as it is asserted by many tha
the character of the atmosphere so far
above the earth is of IN entirely diff
ferent nature from that below.
"Of course, as we mount upward, if
we find il impossible to draw upon the
outside for oxygen, we shall have to
stop the ascent, but / do not expect
any trouble of this nature. Because of
the difficulty of making a straight as
cension directly upward by mean of a
single ground wire, three of these wires
will uncoil from below at stations at
three opposite angles, each acting as a
guide and stay upon the balloon and
assuring practically direct flight up
ward.
Moreover. these wires. which will
together weigh only about 100 pounds.
will be the important instrument of
bringing any possible Marian mes
50 pes straight down tn the earth
These messages will be received on the
ground and will be carefully guarded
until the work of deeipherlng begins."

DEVOTION TO HIS
DUTY WINS BRIDE
FOR PATR0LMAN
Matthew ]. Herman Helped Miss
Dorothy Weiss Over Slip
perry Crossing.

The persistency and devotion of Pa
trolman Matthew ]. Herman since a
certain night last winter when he met
Miss. Dorothy Weiss at her home, "a
Kossuth street, was rewarded last
night when she became his bride. The
ceremony uniting Miss Weiss and Kier-
mar was performed by the Rev. Pat
rick Cody in st. James's r. C. Church.
The bridegroom was attended by Pa
trolman Thomas j. Smith, of the Third
Precinct, while Mrs. Smith acted as
matron of honor.
In %analyzing his romance for the
secret of its successful outcome Mr..
Herman is inclined to give his own
zealousnessfo fol duty much credit. He de-
clares if he had not patroled his beat so
faithfully one cold stormy night last
winter he might never have met his
bride. who thanked him so prettily for
helping her owe a slippery crossing
that it set him thinking.
