MODERN SAMSON
is COMING
Worlds Strongest Man will soon
be seen in Wahpeton

The strongest man in the
world is Arthur Saxon. He
has proved it to the scientists
of Europe. He proved it to the
people of New York City. He
will prove it to the people cf
Wahpeton when. he comes on
Saturday, July End, with Ring
ling Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows.
Arthur Saxon can lift a 375.
pound dumbbell above his head
with one hand. No other man
was ever able to do this. He
and a brother lie on their backs
and with their feet support a
bridge over which passes an
automobile with six passen.
gers. Two of his brothers per.
form with him. They are very
| nearly as strong.
Arthur Saxon alone lies on
his back and with his feet
holds plank on which sit
twelve men. With his hands
he holds 200 pound dumbbell
and his two brothers. The
combined wei ght is $500
pounds. During the Madison
Square engagement an official
test was made by prominent
physical culture professors of
| the city. All of these expert
judges pronounced the Saxon
brothers absolutely superior to
all other strong men.
They were torn in Saxony.
This is their first time in this
country. TIL magazines of
America have all told their
wonderful history. Scientists
have been amazed by their su.
perhuman powers. They are
vegetarians and use no tobacco
or intoxicants.
Another big act is presented
by the Schuman in performing
horses, from the Circus Schu.
man in Germany. Albert Schu.
man is the greatest horse train
er in the world. In this COM
pany of wonderful animals is
found the master work of his
life. He is the only man on
earth who can give the people
a real trained horse act. When
this act is seen all others will
be forgotten.
Still another big act is pre-
sented by Robledillo, the only
real wire. walker in the world.
His smallest feat is more diff
ficult than any ever seen in this
country before. 1t is impossi-
bic to describe his work. It
stands in a class by itself.
Among the acrobats are the
great Lorch family of Germany
seen now for the first time in
America. They are the leaders
of their kind. No act like theirs
has been seen here in the past.
A troupe of ponies appear with
them.
Among the aerialists are the
Alexis troupe. Those who are
familiar with circus affairs
know they are the creates per-
formers of their kind. When
they are seen here, this fact
will be confirmed. The two
Klarkonians, of England, are
the only aerial double. Somer-
saulters in the world. They,
too, are with this show. Their
feats are thrilling. Among the
many star riders are the Dut-
tone. Their act is an eque-
strian classic.
Those who like to laugh are
delighted with the clowns. The
Ringlings have the record of
presenting more funny clowns
than any two other shows.
They have more than ever this
year. And they are tunmer.

Peril From Sewers.

The sewers of Paris, made famous
by Victor Hugo since the seventeenth
century, despite their great service,
have complicated flood perils. The
city's foundation is literally honey
combed, and under food pressure these
vast tunnels burst and undermine the
foundations Of the buildings. The
main sewers are eighteen feet in di-
ameter, and the total length Of this
network Of drains is 900 miles. AS
these tubes also contain water con-
Quits, gas pipes, telegraph, telephone
and power wires and the pneumatic
postal tubes, the effects Of a bursting
sewer are greatly complicated.
Another phase of underground Paris
is the catacombs, extending under a
considerable part of the left river
bank.
A modern addition to the underworld
and the part in which there has been
the greatest flood damage at present
is the subway system. This began
with the opening Of the Metropolitan
underground railway in 1900 and has
been continued till the city has been
1nterlaced by a network of tunnels.
The main line runs east and west
through the center of the city from the

How the Inundated City Is Pecul-
iarly Exposed to OyerfloWs of
the River Seine---Danger From
Vast Underground Works :: :: ::
By WALTON WILLIAMS.


TROM time to time France has suf.
* fered greatly from foods, most OF
II which have been due to the river
Seine, but its recent overflow, by
which Paris has been most disastrously
undermined, is the greatest flood since
1915, SURPRISING the next greatest, that
of 1902, by several inches and greatly
exceeding the floods of 1856 and 1876.
According to the estimate of Premier
M. BRAND, S200,000OOO worth of prop
erty has already been destroyed. Hun
dreds of lives have been lost through
out the country and $4,000 rendered
homeless in Paris and over 100000
throughout France
Two circumstances combine to place
the city of Paris peculiarly in peril OF
foods-its situation and its vast system
of underground architecture. Nor is
this disaster by any means rare one.
Overfows of the Seine have several
times assumed the proportions of wide

recently, this becomes an uncontrolla-

ings. Thus the concentrated floods Of
all the wide drainage area in central
and eastern France pile up till they
leap over into the low water front
streets of the city, flood and burst the
sewers and subWays and undermine
buildings. Add to these conditions the
numerous islands that block the stream
during it's course through the city and
banks at it's mouth and the tidal bores
that back up from the sea, impeding
the onrush in the channel, and the
conditions of disaster are complete.
