all the time The moving painted
curtain beyond them and on each side
of them gives the realistic impression
of their motion around the circle
The treadmills are placed inme-
diately beneath the stage, and are
covered by sections of planking,
which are removed and carried out
to the wings when the race is to
take place There are eight, twelve,
sixteen or twenty treadmills, as the
scene demands, one for each horse.
Each chariot is drawn by four horss.
The chariot of Messiah is ar
ranged so that it appears to fly TO
pieces when the chariot Of Ben Hur
seems to strike 1t. This device is
effected by a catch, dropped by a
spring controlled by the driver. The
chariot Of Ben Hur seems to overtake
that of MESSIAH, because the tread
mills on which Messala's horse runs
are retarded in their motion when
the moment comes for Ben Hur's
great burst of speed.
Appearance Of realism is given by
the dust that seems to fly from be-
meath the hoOfs of the horses, and
from the wheels. This dust is a veg
etable powder which is blown up
ward by bellows under the eatmill.
1t requires about eight minutes to
set the scene, after the stage Is ar
ranged by the carpenters and electri-
clans, The preliminary work of ar
rangement, however, takes up several
DAYS.

CORN SHOW To
BOOST RICE AS
BEST CEREA AL
Dallas Exposition Is intended to
Embrace All Farm Crops and
Needs In Its Scope.

DALLAS, Nov. s2.--rts % De ths
sixth National Corn Exposition, but
rice will be one Of the principal ex-
hibits, it seems. c. P. Bull. the ma4-
ager, explains:
THE word corn is used in q broad
sense in connection with the EXPOSE
ton to cover all farm crops, the mod
ern machinery necessary to produce
them. good roads to take them to
profitable markets and good homes
for their producers.
Comfortable and conveniently ar
ranged rural homes will claim spe.
cial attention at the sixth National
Corn Exposition, and how to reduce
the cost of their maintenance will be
fully demonstrated. An important
display will be the instructions and
Instruments to enable the housewifs
to detect the adulterated from tho
pure foods"
At the fifth Corn Exposition, in CO.
lumbia, s. =, last year three States
considered rice such q valuable and
| Important factor In reducing the high
cost of living as to make It the prtn-
cipal feature of their exhibition. Ten
States are now raising this grain
ercially-Louisian Texas. Mis-
sissippi. Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
California, Arkansas and the two
Carolinas.
Rice was first introduced into South
Carolina by accident In 1884, when a
vessel bound for Liverpool from Mad
agascsr was blown out of her course
and put up at Charleston for repairs.
Before leaving her captain presented
planter named Smith with u small
parcel Of rough rice, which was
planted and produced a successful
crop In few years enough seed was
produced to supply the needs of thu
colony and also to ship to England.
Now millions of bushels are pro-
duced searly. The exposition man
ayers believe people of the United
States do not eat enough of the cereal
which dietetic experts value moro
highly than wheat or corn. BesideR
they say, It is cooked to perfection
only in the South.

But as a matter OF fact. the kind of
talent needed by big corporations IS
exceedingly rare.
THE question Of salary is not tho
paramount one.
The real question is the worth OF
men of extraordinary genius The
great executive who can put cor
poration on It's feet Is genius There
ought not to be any limit to the sal
airy OF such a man. Some men vita
good regulations have sent promising
corporations to me wall. The man
with the real capacity would have put
them on their feet Why. then. should
there be any limit to the financial
worth Of the latter?

stance. There's man who expedited

we find such a man." And the 1900
200 a year man could usually induce
his company to double his salary
rather than let him go. But that kind
Of man doesn't ordinarily deal in such
demands
Back IN 1905 there was a great eX-
posure of life insurance workings. It
was disclosed that President McCur-

that was none too much-that he had
