HORACE ROBINSON
DISAPPEARED MONDAY

Residents of the north side are i'm
terested in the disappearance, last
Monday of Horace Robinson, about
seventy years old, from his home.
Mrs. Robinson says that he took his
coat on his arm and left the house,
without telling her where he was GO
ing. She thought that he was acting
peculiar but left the matter pass from
her mind until he did not return at
night.
No clue has been found as O his
whereabouts but the supposition is
that he went 10 the home of some Of
his relatives Robinson has been
known To be demented for some time
and application was made at one time
10 have him adjudged insane. This
may have had a bearing on the mat
ter Of his leaving home.
The Robinsons have lived in Bedding
for about two years. They are dis
tant relative of Ashur Shaw.

LARGE CROWDS GO
TO SEE AL. G. BARNES
BIG animal CIRCUS
ING 1T THE BEST THEY HAD
EVER SEEN

The Al. G.. Barnes wild animal cir
Gus, advertised as the greatest wild
animal show in the world bears out
the truthfulness of the assertion as
was made evident to the local people
during two entertainments, afternoon
and evening last Tuesday
From the start to finish of the two
hour attraction there was not "A duh
minute. The feats performed by the
animals were beyond equal In point
of numbers, and scores of them have
never been seen in any other circus
on the road Daring men and women
worked with ease in the large arena
with lions, tigers and leopards. At one
time all of the drove Of lions were
made TO act i'm unison by the trainer

time.

in a way that could be attained by
very few other men if by anyone.
This is the first appearance of the
Barnes show i'm the state Of Michigan.
The show has been making the towns
Of Michigan for about ten days and
will remain in the state until August
s.
talk with Mr. Barnes reveals
some interesting facts in regard to n
career. He was born in London, Oh
tario. For many years he worked in
the north woods, after leaving his
home in search of adventure. There
he received two dollars a week for his
work, but soon won the admiration Of
his fellows by training all of the
horses and dogs in camp to perform
and his wages increased. Starting
from this almost pennless position Mr..
Barnes has passed through the whole
category of showmens experience un-
til he has gained the distinction Of
having the largest wild animal circus
in the world. His various experiences
do a Win NtSl llutl, a lIiONlHS picture
Snowman. an introducer of the phono-
graph in the west. and his methods of
training the beasts of the forest are
all interesting but involve long story.
At the present time six hundred and
nineteen animals are carried in the
show. Every one of them does some
thing Of interest. In its lines each ami
NAL does something that is different
from the usual feats performed by
wild and domestic animals The
number and completeness of the wild
animal collection add to the pleasure
of attending the circus.
The mammoth crowds attending
both the afternoon and evening en-
tertainments were unanimous in pro-
claiming the Barnes Wild Animal
Circus the best they had ever attended
and at the same time different The
circus is to come here again next year.

fence that had barbed wire running
along the top He failed to clear the
barbed wire and was caught by the
hind leg after the barbs had inflicted
severe wound. When Mr.. Buck
came along he found the canine hang
ing from the top of the fence in a
helpless condition.
AS luck would have it Mr. Buck had
a pair Of wire pliers with him and cut
the wire to liberate the dog. The poor
animal lay down on the ground, look
ed up with a satisfied look on its face
and wagged it's tail bespeaking the sat-
isfaction of having friend in the per-

Crops Saved by Dam.

Cairo, Egypt, June eff last year
the Assuan reservoir saved the situa-
ton by augmenting a low Nile suffi-
GENTLY to provide water for a cotton
crop, almost the largest on record,
there is this year an even greater op-
portunity for service. The lowest
flood on record has been followed by
a very low state of the river this
spring.
Last year a sharp rise took place
at Mongolia, about 1000 miles above
Khartum, in the middle of April, but
this year on April 27 the river at
that point was extremely low and still
falling.
All possible preparation has been
made to meet this condition. The
reservoir was filled to its utmost, 20
inches above its official limit, and
began to augment the Nile in the mid
die of February, six or seven weeks
tefore the usual time. Since that date
the reservoir has continuously added
about 40 per cent to the natural VOL
ume of the river, and this supply can
go on till the middle of July at the
same rate if required.
Reports from the agricultural ans
irrigation departments show that the
water has been effectively used. In
most parts of the country the supply
has been sufficient and the cottol
pl;.'lts are said to be above the aver.
age condition. Other crops ar: above
the average in lower Egypt, but be.
low the average in upper Egypt.
Special care has been taken in dis.
tributing the water, which is alter.
natelY supplied for five or six days
and cut off for twelve to fifteen DAYS
This system known as rotations
Is usually put in force only in the
summer, but this year it has bccl
commenced very much earlier and ap-
parently with good results.

EVOLVES PERPETUAL.
ELECTRIC CURRENT

New York, June 9.--Professor Kam-
merlingh Onnes of Loudin university,
who received the Nobel prize in phys
les last year, has demonstrated the
maintenance of a permanent electric
current with no potential force to
drive it, in coil of wire in which
the power of electrical resistance in
the metal has been reduced to nil, ac-
cording to a report from Holland. The
discovery suggests to the electrical
work what the possibilities of perpet-
Tal motion or mechanical friction re-
Guced to zero would mean in other
fields.
The commercial possibilities of the
discovery cannot be considered as yet,
because of the large expense involved
in reducing metal coils to point of
zero resistance. However, Professor
Pegram of Columbia university to-
night pointed out that if the electrical
resistance in copper wire could be
ISuuSeQ ny oHiy q oiudh peiSSHtdSS
it would mean the saving of millions
of dollars.
Professor Onnes' discovery shows
that the electrical resistance of met
ais vanishes or becomes zero if they
are eooled to the temperature of liquid
felium, which is only Is degrees above
absolute bero, or 271 degrees below
zero centigrade.
The apparatus in Professor Onnes'
latese experiment consists of coil of
1000 turns of fine lead wire, the ends
joined together and the whole i'm
mersed in liquid helium.
The current was started in the coil
by induction and as the wire has no
resistance it continues to circulate
for the same reason that the planets
circulate about the sun. At the end
of four and half hours no decrease
could be detected.
