on day after day, night after night,
until trainers and beasts were almost
dead with fatigue.
Several Of the groups exhibited
there were memorable. Twenty leap
ards had been assembled and taught
to walk ropes, shoot guns. Jump hur-
dies, ride bicycles, roll barrels and
pose in many positions. Another
group, which consisted Of seventeen
animals, included lions. tigers. pumas.
bears, hyenas, boar hounds, wolves
and one panther. In addition to the
difficulty Of teaching these beasts to
perform there was the task Of train
ing them to forget their natural In
sincts and enter a cage together with
out fighting.
Most remarkable Of all these groups
and in fact the most remarkable AMI
NAL group ever assembled. was Cap
tain Bonavita's company OF thirty
lions. Everyone was fierce black
named Numldian lion. Yet Captain
Bonavita had complete mastery over
them.
Animals so schooled are often
spoken of as "tame." Animal train
ers say there Is no such thing as
tame wild animal. Performing ami
mails are trained, not tanned. They
do not reason, but go through their
tricks parrot-like-
Serious indeed may be the outcome

one occasion an sdmirer Of Madame
Pianka sent her some red roses just

cage. A lion sprang forward and
made a sweep at the roses. fearfully

from their pedestals and pounced on
the roses. They had mistaken them
for meat. At another time Mr.. Bcs-

Pianka with a sulky icness. He
thoughtlessly struck his whip against
his boot. Instantly the mate Of the

She instantly fired two shots. which
was the cue for the next act. and the
lion dropped Mr.. Bostock and fell into
his accustomed pose. To this hold OF
fhabit upon the lion, Mr.. Bostoch
owed his life.

Diarrhoea is a disorder very COM
mon among children during the au-
tumn months 1t Is attended by a
high death rate. especially with chill
dren under two years of age.
The cause Is usually improper feed
ing. The common practise among
certain classes Of people Of feeding
young babies various articles Of food
is very unwise. Up to the age Of
nine months baby needs nothing but
milk and is able to digest very little
else. Yet how often we see people
feeding babies coffee, potatoes, meat
and even things that are hard for a
grown person to digestl Babies fed
entirely upon milk often become sick
because proper attention has not been
given to the care of the milk and bot
ties. Cleanliness is certainly neces-
sity here. With older children the
diarrhoea is often caused by eating
unripe or over-ripe fruit or vegetables.
The symptoms are an increased
number of bowel movements, attend
ed by gripping pains in the abdomen.
They sometimes are accompanied by
vomiting, headache and fever.
The treatment is frst to stop all
food, and clean out the intestinal
tract. This can be done by giving an
enema or injection of warm water or
by giving a dose Of castor oil. Some
people are unable to understand why
this should be done when there al
ready have been numerous bowel
movements. The diarrhoea is caused
by some food that is remaining In the
intestine and setting up an irritation.
The irritating material must be re-
moved before we can overcome the
diarrhoea and we do this by means
Of an enema or dose of laxative. The
child then should be kept quiet and
warm. Heat applied to the feet and
abdomen often will relieve the pain.
A little peppermint water may be
given to aid in expelling the gases.
but nothing else should be given ex-
cept on the advice of a physician.
Paregoric and various pain relievers
should not be given as they may be
very injurious. Many deaths are at
tributed to various soothing syrups
which contain harmful drugs. After
the attack is oyer care should be taken
with the diet. At nrst give only a lit
tie rice water or barley water.
In young babies, collie and diarrhoea
often are caused by giving sugar in
various forms. A tiny baby gets thirsty
the same as an older person. Mink
does not quench this thirst. so It
should be give- = little warm water
several times day. Many mothers
are not content to let well enough
alone and put little sugar in the wa
ter. This forms gas and causes collie
and diarrhoea- In giving peppermint
water to young babies It is not neces-
sary to add sugar. OF course the pep
permint water should be very weak.

In the training Of horses some very
wonderful things have been accom-
plished by DR.. Martin J. Potter, a
New York veterinarian. who prepares
practically all the horses that appear
In special acts on the American stage.
Everyone viii remember the Hippo
drome plunging horses. that leaped
overheard with their riders on their
backs IN the course of battle, and
swan to the other shore. It took
Doctor Potter six months to prepare
the horses for that act. He began by
leading them gently into shallow wa
ter. Then they were made to jump
into It from a small platform Grad
ually the height of this platform was
raised to four feet. When the horses
had gotten accustomed to jumping
from this. they were taken into the
empty tank and the water raised until
II was SO deep they had to swim.
The last stage was to make them

Dogs, as everybody knows. can be
taught a multitude Of tricks. But
dogs are so easily trained that usually
a dogs owner is It's trainer as well.
A dog will naturally sit up to bee
