One Of the greatest attractions Of the
circus is the horse. To give a circus
without horses would be like produc-
ing an opera without music, or run
ming a watch without a spring.
When the modern big circus Of to-
day, as best illustrated by the Barnum
& Bailey circus, comes to town with
its calllope and red wagons fluttering
flags. and enormous spread OF tentage,
the horse in all his glory is a vital
izing part OF the picture, and he is
there in numbers that old Dan Rice
never dreamed Of.

THIS WAR OF SCIENCE
BEATRG THE MINES,

Not all the ships that 90 to the
cotton are sunk by submarines.
A great many have struck floating
m'ns, Here is one Of the perils
our soldier boys will meet as they
cross to France. But thanks to
the persistent work to avert this
danger. the mines may not get
any OF our transports.
The German mines are one of
the most devilish acts Of this war.
They have been a peril to all
American and neutral shipping.
The Germans have been placing
these mines by the hundred thou
sand. They cost $500 apiece.
The common type have been
huge steel eggs, so anchored as to
f1oat some eight feet below the
surface Of the water, where no
lookout could ever see them. They
have small cylineds of lead pro-
jecting from their tops, which are
broken on contact with vessels.
This breaks walls that contain
chemicals, which uniting WIN
other chemicals produce an cleo
trical charge, and connect with
the detonator. The explosion will
take the bottom out Of power
full ship.
Originally the Germans en-
ployed disguised merchant ships
to lay these mines, Now they are
laid almost entirely by subma-
rines, which can conduct this work
without discovery, but of course
are liable to pursuit by the Amer
lean and other destroyers when
they came to the surface.
These mines would be a terri
BILE peril were it not for the eff
cient work Of mine sweeping done
by British trawlers. Sweeping
these mines is the most dangerous
work in this war. The casualties
are 60 per cent higher than in
service in the trenches. The traw-
lers will drag between themselves
a wire cutter supposed to sever
the wine holding the mines. If
they have good luck, the torpedo
rises to the service, otherwise the
trawlers rise in the air. It is he
role work, and is making posi-
bic the comparatively safe pas
