The chief electrical feature Is a

requires the exertion of nine men for
a space of about four hours-its dis
manteling about the same amount of
time. IL Is In actual use on the stage
for little over one miaute, which
Is an illustration OF the vast pains
taking exertion put forth by modern
amusement enterprises.

Insert her head-upside down-wirh-
In a small compartment. wherein are
