to renew the bond. Six baggage cars ana
two automobile cars were necessary ioE
transport, and in some mysterious man

appearance il resembles a Chinese puzzle
to the lay mind, and an expert mecha-
rician even would have to study his blue
print in order 10 understand the work

sent to the foundries to mould replica
Of the ironwork. for without it the scenes
o. the spectacle could not be operated.
One Of the functions of the wiEch was
to hoist into the flies entire scenes weigh
Ing twenty tons, and without this opera
ton the pantomime would have been I'M

unpopular that men named Monroe de-

to him, and he retired to Virginia, pre-

elected governor again. and in 1913 be-
