The Terrible 6ea Constructor of thu

CIRCUS PERFORMERS.
Tho Real Dangers With Which They
Are Concerned.


Are Concerned.
The individual point Of view of the
circus performer toward his work Is
full of surprises. Rarely IL ever is he
worried over the things that the audi
ence imagines make him uneasy and
never about his own equipment Of
nerve. muscle and judgment.
The bareback rider worries about
his horse. for the slightest deviation
from the animals customary course
and gait ruins a harmony between
horse and rider, upon which depends
the success and even the life OF the
performer. The man on the trapeze
is not at all disturbed at being so high
up In the air. The higher up he Is the
more security he feels that In case of
accident he will have time enough In
stinctively to twist his body into the
right position for falling Into the net.
What worries him most is the fear of
some unsupported weakness In his ap-
paratus.
The animal trainer Is more afraid or
an accidental scratch from a good ma
tured but blood poisoning claw than OF
any actual conflict with an angry ami
NAL. More than that, he has a real af-
lection for his animals and dislikes the
stern necessity Of Furnishing them. The
very clown is not SO much pleased by
the laughter of his audience as dis
turbed by the thought that 1t quite
fails to appreciate the time and care
he has expended in working out the
details Of his humorous contribution

LIGHTS TO DRAW TRADE.
Unique Lighting Scheme Adonted by
Some Jersey Merchants.

Some Jersey Merchants.
Newark, the metropolis Of New Jer-
sey, has recently demonstrated that
lights draw trade. In other words, the
human insect is like any other bug or
moth and swarms after the candle,
the lamp or the electric bulb. Man, Of
course, knows too much to bump his
head against the light or SINCE his
wings, but this knowledge is acquired,
while the love of the glitter is inner
ent.
A bunch of Newark merchants have
taken advantage Of the buglike trait
in human nature to increase business.
The chief street In the Jersey metrop-
oils is Broad. Market street bisects
Broad into what are known as North
Broad and South Broad. OF late years
through brilliant electric signs and
other means all the crowds at night
have been drawn to North Broad,
while the south end of the street has
been comparatively deserted. This
borhood to do some thinking. The re-
suit of thinking was an organization.
The result Of the organization was the
most unique lighting scheme ever at
tempted in an American city. 1t con-
sists of a row of orange colored, high
power lights on both sides of the
street. These lights are about fifty
feet apart and extend for five blocks.
The cost is borne by the merchants
and amounts to about hundred dol
lars year to each man. The lights
are so brilliant that they make North
Broad street. electric signs and all,
look like dim twilight in compari-
son.
Since the new system of lighting has
gone into effect the crowds have "fol-
lowed the CLEAN" and now congregate
nightly on South Broad Trade has
followed the crowd, and the enterpris-
ing merchants are already reaplng the
harvest. OF course the thing is yet In
the experimental stage. but 1t is an ex
pertinent that is being watched with
interest by merchants throughout the
land. Crowds of them travel to New
ark from New York and other cities to
study the system. So far the depar-
ture has proved pronounced success
and has made everybody happy with
the exception of the rival merchants
on North Broad street

ARBOR DAY OBSERVANCE.
Value Of Improvement Societies Co.
operating With Schools.

Improvement societies should coop
crate with schools In the proper OBJ
servance of Arbor day. The marked
advantages of such cooperation might
be that the trees planted by the chill
dren as part of the school program,
and often when they are not needed,
would be placed in more appropriate
positions and where competent judg-
ment would decide. More considera-
tlon should be given to the question Of
location. for 1t Is certain that no trees
should be planted without due regard
to the surroundings and necessities Of
the premises.
Comparatively few people have the
knowledge sufficient to properly place
and plant trees. but improvement So
cieties either have competent judges
among their members or are in touch
with those who know. The proper
spirit OF cooperation could accomplish
much In the proper observance Of Ar
Dor day, and good practical results
would cause our federal officials to
modify their statement that much of
our Arbor day planting is worse than
useless"

Likewise Mistaken.

A small boy was fishing on Sunday
morning. He had a basket Of fish
alongside Of him. A clergyman hap
pened to see him and. going over to
where he was busily watching the bob,
said:
"You naughty, cruel boy! Don't you
know that 1t Is sin to fish on the
Sabbath? Besides the sin, think of
the cruelty Of it-taking the poor little
worm out Of the ground and sticking
that nasty sharp hook through its
body"

"Ah, l was mistaken" said the
preacher

THE HIPPOPOTAMUS.
How the Animal Is Captured Alive In
tho Sudan.

now tne Animal Is Captured alive IN
tho Sudan.
There Is q vast difference between
the hunter who kills for pleasure and
the hunter whose business 1t is to cap
ture his quarry alive. How live hip
popotamuses are secured is particularly
interesting. Two methods are resort
ed to.
The so called hawaii, or water hunt
ers. Of the Sudan. all of whom are ex-
cellent and daring swimmers, harpoon
their victims at the noon hour, when
they are sunk In deep slumber. Then
they pull them to the bank by means
Of cord attached to the harpoon and
there make them fast The hunters
use for this special kind of harpoon,
made in such a way that 1t does not
make deep wound. Fully three
quarters Of the hippopotamuses ex-
hibited In Europe have been captured
In this way
Hippopotamus hunts are also con-
Quoted on land. There advantage Is
taken of the fact that the female hip
popotamus makes her young walk In
front of her. The reason for this is
that the beast, being well protected In
the rear by its abnormally thick skin,
prefers to have its offspring in front.
where it can guard them better against
danger. But In spite of Its affection
for its children the mother hippo has
no particular desire to meet danger
when it comes. So the hunters dig
large pits In the forest. cover them
over until they are fully concealed and
then lie In wait near by. Presently a
female hippopotamus comes along
with her child trotting before her.
Suddenly. without warning, the young
one disappears before its mothers
eyes. This Is too much for the old ami
nal. She dashes away, leaving the
little one at the mercy Of Its enemies.
