First Wild Animals
Trained for a Circus

1UST hundred and two years ago a
man named George Wombell started
the first show Of wild animals. Train
ed monkeys and trained dogs and even
trained bears had been known before in
Europe, but lions and tigers had never
before been conquered to such an extent
that they were the daily companions of
the trainer. In those days people knew
less about the habits of the Asiatic and
African wild animals than they do now.
Importing such animals was much more
expensive than it is today. George Wom-
bell had imported two young lions from
Africa.
When they arrived they were very
weak. having suffered from sea sickness
and from neglect. In order that the ami
mails should not die Wombell gave one
man charge of them, SO that he might
care for them day and night. BY feeding
the young lions properly every day and
keeping them warm and clean. as well as
by their unclean quarters on board ship.
the man soon became a favorite with
the animals. Associating with the beasts
continuously made the man SO fond OF his
charges that he was unwilling to give up
his new friends. Wombell thought it
would be quite a novelty to exhibit the
man In the cage with the beasts as
lion tanner. When this was done thou-
sands came to see the wonderful person.
From that time on wild animal training
became a part of every circus. Now
trainer can make great number of
lions perform at the same time. Even
tigers and elephants are taught to obey
commands and master difficult tricks.

To Make Kings Laugh.

A GREAT many years ago. before
~ books were printed, few people
= knew how to read the scrolls of
writing which were then used instead OF
books Few of the kings had any learn
ing, so when they were not busy fighting
in war or hunting game In the forests
they had little to do to pass away the
time. The great castles in which they
lived were built to be strong enough for
fortresses and were usually surrounded by
water so that the enemy could not get
near. Inside, these great royal homes
were very cherries. No wonder then
with nothing to do and with nothing
pretty in their homes to interest them
that the kings wanted to have witty
people near to make them laugh. Almost
every great man of wealth and every
king kept jester whose business it was
to say witty things and to act in cOmical
ways SO that all around would be enter
tanned.
Although one had to be very smart to
be a lester, vet he was called fool
because he made fun for everybody.
Usually the FOOLS suit was made of rich
materials cut by fancy pattern. Some
times one suit would be made of several
bright cOlors, but whatever other color
was used yellow fringes or ornaments
were always seen. Feathers and fox tails
were frequently worn to give the testers
queer Appearances. Sewed all about the
brilliant clothes of the testers there were
many little bells which tinkled whenever
the queer little men. who were usually
dwarfs, moved. A jester usually carried
a stick which had queer head carved
on 1t at one end or instead had balloon
like bladder rafting with beans fastened
to IT, Although the kings kept many
testers. each king usually had a favorite
fool who could go to his master at all
times. day or night. Because the king
and the favorite Jester were together so
much the jester influenced the king.

Game of Whistle Puff.

"A SMALL fluffy feather is selected for
"a this game. All of the players sit in
circle. Some one starts the game by
throwing the feather as high as possible
into the air. The feather must not be al
lowed to fall to the floor nor to alight on
any player. To prevent this any player
may blow the feather to keep it from
alighting. but he must whistle before
every puff which he gives. If the feather
should touch any player or any player
should not whistle before blowing, the
game must stop long enough for the per-
son upon whom the feather alighted or
the player who did not whistle before the
pun" to whistle any song selected by
the starter OF the game.

comfortable place when the March winds
blew. But Arthur, an enthusiast on the
subject of aeroplanes. did not notice
weather. He was too full OF the inven-
tion of ship to fly through the clouds to
think about climatic conditions, and he
worked both early and late, cold or warm
For many months Arthur had studied
every available scrap of information per-
tanning to the subject in which he was
deeply interested, and his indulgent
father had supplied him with money to
buy the material necessary to develop
his invention. IT know I'll make a ma

you ought to be ashamed Of yourself,
trying to make something to n.y. re-
peated Oracle.
And Why" asked Arthur, pausing in
his work.
Because, if God had intended people

wicked for men TO try to fly. Only birds
should do that"
Arthur laughed. And what do you say
about express trains and the fast-goins
ocean steamers? Were people intended
TO fly across land like that? Were We
not just made with feet to walk and
run? We hadn't steamers or trains grow
ing onto us-to help us to go fast. l
can't see the difference between an air
ship and a steam car, only one is an
old invention and the other is a new
one. And both are necessary to man in

when men come flying through the clouds,
maybe frightening the very life out of
them?'
And Oracle looked the indignation she
felt. II don't think it right for people
to try TO take the place of birds" she
went on. And / hope all inventions OF
airships will fail. Steam cars and ocean
steamers are fast enough and quite
enough for the world. And you ought
to be ashamed to try to build an airship."

A S We are SO often visited by comets
those tramps of the universe-it may
be interesting to the young folks TO
know something about the theories held
by the ancients regarding these mysteri-
Gus bodies, with their streamers of light
extending across the heavens. The FOL
lowing extract is quoted from an exhaus-
tive and authentic work, History OF
the Universe.
The term comet derived from the
Latin coma, or hair, applied to celestial
bodies, which appear to have hairy ap-
pendage, goes back to the time OF the
Romans. A similar word, 'cometa, was
used by Cicero, Tibullus and other an
cient writer's.
while the ancients distinguished be-
tween comets and meteors, yet they be-
lieved them to be of the same nature,
and to be found in the eartes atmos-

Master White Lamb, his face flushed
from the pleasure he felt at having the
hearty approval of so great a creature
as Mr.. Lion, the bold and brave.
And then they proceeded to carry out
Master White Lambs plan. They hur-
ried to the meadow at the foot OF the
mountain, and on the way arranged as
to their manner of conduct. Arriving in
the very center of the wide and deep
meadow, they began to jump about and

Apollonius. the Myndian. believed that
the Chaldeans were responsible for this
notion of the comets, for they spoke OF
them as travellers that penetrated far
