TIME early days Of spring and Bar
mum & Bailey's Greatest Show
on Earth have visited New York
together for O long succession
OF years. Yet while the name Of the
circus remains the same. as does the
scene Of its setting, its character has
vastly changed. Sensa,ionalism and
bombastic and alliterative announce
ments have passed into oblivion along
with the Cardiff Giant.
John Ringing knows that there Is
one born every minute. but he believes
that 1t Is wise one and presents his
show accordingly. Mr.. Ringing is a
constructive Snowman. He began when
he was 16 years old with a five wagon
one ring circus as general agent Of the
Ringing Bros. show just thirty years
ago. To-day he leads the world in pre-
senting this spopular and instructive
form Of amusement.
Any early visitor in Madison Square
Garden might observe a tall. athletic
looking, nervously energetic and pro-
digiously busy man going over the re-
ports and receiving and passing upon
the suggestions submitted by his staff
OF assistants. II You noticed that he

outstanding that two crops of corn,
and in some parts three. can be grown
in a year: that coffee is a paying crop
in the hilly sections: that beans give
two crops year: that potatoes may be
grown profitably, and that poultry may
be raised in unlimited quantity AT prac-
t!cally no cost. All these things and
many others have been neglected in
Cuba, partly because OF the lack Of means
OF transportation. partly because Of not
knowing how. but mainly because the
production 81 sugar and tobacco at the
old time prices commanded every atom

nothing like general farming has ever

Keen business foresight a genius for

among the showmen of the world, and
for those who follow after him he has
set a new standard OF circus manage

Mr. Ringing regards the circus strictly
as business proposition in which there
is little room for sentiment or romance.
Approaching that the public demands

to see in circus and brings them

Cuba Is one of the two most health
ful countries in the world. The NOR
tally of the island per 1000 inhabi-
tants during the year 1909 was 1876,
which was lower than that of any other
country except Australia, where the
death rate was the same. That of the
United States of America was 1862
per 1000.
In the fiscal year 1901 the trade OF
Cuba amounted TO s237.276,647, of which
the exports amounted to $l29l7sS65
and the balance in favor of the republic
was $al,Os10S3.
The trade of Cuba per capita is
greater than that OF any country in
North or South America except the
Argentine Republic. as will he seen by
