Strong Mans Fake Stunts
THE MOST SNOWY M DIFFICULT STAGE FEATS ARE
USUALLY THE SIMPLEST.

a GREAT many big men are moth
IA ing more than helpless hulks,
whose weight and height are an
actual hindrance to them in life. But
1t needs a big man to play the part of
Hercules. The public eye is not i'm
pressed by great feats of strength in
little men; ii is far better satisfied with
a fake feat performed by a massive
man, wen though it suspect the bona
hdes of the performance.
The most snowy feats in a strength
display on the stage are usually the
simplest. In the majority of instances
they are pure fakes. Real feats of
strength are seldom picturesque enough
to be relished by audiences. Tine touch
of sensationalism is needed, n the
presence of danger must be scented.
The weights of the bells and bars an
nounced by the average strong mar
may be generally taken as totally mis-
representing the actual poundage. The
point is that no strong man would be
any the better off or more ~applauded
IL he actually lifted the weights an
nounced. l have never heard of a case
of a member of an audience challenging
a weight litter as to the correctness CT
his statements.
I remember a few years ago, when
weight-lifting and the strong-man bust
ness was a public mania, that a couple
of brothers. well known for their
strength and their showmanship, chal-
lenged all strong men to equal their
feats. says a writer for London Ideas.
One of their greatest stunts" as the
Americans put it. was to lift an enor
NOUS bar-bell. They performed the feat
with a straight lift-which means that
they did not lift it by degrees, resting
1t on the knee and the arms before put
ting it up above the head. Several
strong men accepted the A%,allenge, and
despite the fact that the bar-bell was
not actually heavier than Others they
had lifted, each one failed in turn.
The failures continued and the two
brothers were carrying all before them
till one day a little investigation took
place, and it leaked out that the bar
bell was filed with shifting sand, and
that. if it got out of perfect balance il
the slightest degree all the weight raj
to one end and made the lift well
nigh impossible.
7 recollect, too. that some seventeen
years ago, when the championship a
weight lifting was in dispute between
two of the best known strong men u
England. there came the news that
giant named Loui Cyr was on his wa.
from America to accept everybody

FATAL MINE EXPLOSION

Pittsburg, Kan, Jan. 26.-While Su-
perintendent Logan and a party Of
miners were investigating conditions
in the coal mine of the Merchants
Coal company at Boswell last night,
a gas explosion occurred which has al
ready cost the life Of one man and
may result in the death Of dozen
more.
Because of the anticipated trouble
the night shift was not permitted to
enter the mine, and thus the lives of
many men were spared. Superintend-
ent Logan, accompanied by Mine Boss
Morris, Pit Boss John Cole and eleven
miners had begun an investigation
and were nearly a mile back into the
mine when the explosion occurred.
Such was its force that ten-ton mo-
tor was turned upside down. The
mine caved In and the passage was
completely blocked, with ten men back
of the obstruction. Three miners,
badly burned, found their way out
and carried the superintendent, who
was seriously injured and uncon-
scious. He died soon afterward.
