Hagenbeck-- Wallace Circus
Corinth Monday Now
ember 18th.

When the Carl Hagenbeck ane
tGreat Wallace Shows Combined
visits Corinth Monday November
18th there will be seen on the down
town streets the day Of the exhibi.
tion a street parade that represents
an expenditure Of more than
$1,OO0,OOO. 1t is entirely the origi-
nation and execution Of the best
artists, designers Ind property
masters of Italy. England and
France.
1t is the policy oi Che Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus never to repeat its
novelties. For that reason the
parade for this season is entirely
new. For months day and night,
artists, artisans and decorators toll
ed like Trojans in the winter work.
shops, at West Baden, Indiana to
build the parade which is this year
amazing the cities Of America.
Not in any way does the street
parade resemble the pageants Of the
past. 1t fairly glistens with new
ness. There are heats Of FURNISHED
gold made by Oriental workmen,
costumes and tapestries from France
and Persia. flags and banners from
China, statuary from Italy, band
and orchestra wagons of bronze,
hand carved and decorated with
pure Furnished gold. Almost every
type of man will be seen in native
dress and the characteristic music
of the world Is represented by
trumpeting brass bands, chanters,
bag pipers, tom tom players, drum,
fife and bugle corps. The great
menagerie, the pride OF Carl Hagen
beck, is shown in open dens.
The performances this year too
has undergone many changes. The
stellar attraction remains the per-
formance Of the ftaned fsfrl Hagen,
beck,trained wild animals. These
beasts of the forest and jungle will
be seen in an immense steel arena.
Daring wild animal trainers have
them broken to perform remarkable
tricks. More than 800 arenic per-
formers will be seen in the circus,
performing in three rings and on
two elevated stages. Performances
will be given at 2 and Sp. m.
Doors to the Hagenbeck ZOO will be
opened an hour earlier.

What is to be done with the Dec.
laration of Independence, the his
toric document that has been so
safely guarded and preserved in as
best condition as possible during
these many years. 1t is loekedsin
a specially constructed vault built
in the walls of the State Depart
ment building, the idea being that
shut out from light and air, it would
be preserved indefinitely. About
every six months it is brought out
for an examination, the last inspec-
tion disclosing the fact that some
special treatment must be given the
parchment to further hold it to-
gether, But just what process is
to be followed officials are at loss
to state. They do not want to ex-
pertinent too much for fear of doing
more harm than good. Experts who
have had to do with restoring parch-
ments recovered from Egyptian pyr-
amids, and other ancient ruins will
be consulted, and upon their judg-
ment proper treatment will be given.

Coal is not the only fuel. The
people of the country will soon have
this cheerful information placed
thoroughly before them in cam
paign of education conducted by
their Uncle Samuel. While several
branches OF the government are in
operation dealing with the present
conditions OF the coal situation, one
Department, that Of the Oil Divis-
ion of the Bureau OF the Interior,
has started the wheels in motion to
bring about as complete change
from the use OF soft coal as possible.
The East is to profit by the expert
ence of the West where oil is the
chief fuel. The oil wells of the
West and Southwest are daily pro-
ducing hundreds of thousands oil
barrels of oil and more wells are be-
ing drilled every day and the sup
ply is looked upan as unlimited
Oil is used as fuel in the West and
Southwest in locomotives, in fac.
tories and in residences. Oil burn
ing has never been practiced East
of the Mississippi to any great ex-
tent because OF the steady supply OF
soft coal. The first big change to
be considered is the gradual elimi-
nation Of the coal-burning locomo-
tiyes of the railroad administration.
1t is to be insisted that only oil
burning engines be constructed in
the future. Factories, Office build
ings, department stores, all large
usersof soft coal, are to be shown
how to make the change from coal
to oil as a cleaner and better fnel
and at no greater cost than at pres
ent, ii as much. Then the cam
paign will be broadened to reach
the average householder. If the
department Is given the hearty sup
port OF Congress, it Is convinced
that soft coal can be cuEtailed more
than half the amount now used.

Action by the supreme council at
Paris in fixing, December I, as the
date for formal proclamation of a
state Of peace between the powers
ratifying the treaty Of Versailles,
fulfilled the expectations Of admin
istratSon officials. After the senate
lad ended it's special session with
out ratifyirg the treaty the general
feeling here was that Europe would
not wait longer for this country's de-
eision.
Under the treaty's provisions, the
exchange of ratifScations could have
been made as soon as three Of the
great powers had ratified, but the
date was delayed, it was ANNOUNCED
largely because it was desired to have
the United States a party from th'
first. All four of the other great
powers, Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan now have ratified.

Eskimo characteristics.

The Eskimo are heavy, strong of
arm and back, and very light on their
feet. They are short-legged, but very
lleet-foOted and great jumpers. They
begin to practice jumping as soon as
they can walk. The favorite way of
jumping is to spring up and kick with
the toes of both feet and come down
again on the feet. Many of them
can in this way touch point from II
10 30 inches above their heads. In
looks they resemble the japanese far
more than the Chinese, but they are
lighter In complexion and very ruddy-
faced. The girls and young women
are good looking. Some are handsome.
Their eyes are clear brown and very
bright, and their eyesight is marvel
Gus. Their food is what the sea pro-
duces, SEAL walrus, whale and fish.
The hair seal is the most useful. 1t
furnishes the skin for footwear, nit
tens, trousers, material for nets, rope
and bags for oil. The flesh is used for
food. The blubber which is the largest
part of the seal, furnishes oil for food,
light and heat. The quantity OF seals
seems to be unlimited. Unlike the fur
seals, the hair seal never comes
ashore. 1t is captured in nets and
when the ice forms 1t is shot.

before the temple Of Amenhotep near
Thebcs. 1t was brought to Paris in
1896.
1t was on the present site of the
obeliSk that the guillotine was erected
in 1892 and Louis XVI died beneath
its blade in 1893. Among those who
died in the red days of the square
were Charlotte Corday, Marie Antoi-
nette, Danton, Camille Desmoulins
and Robespierre, and in all upwards
of $500.
But the French remember those days
of tragedy with less sorrow than they
do the crOwning indgnity of the pres
enCe of the Prussians on the Place de
la Concorde in 1871. The soldiers of
William / showed the usual German
disreSpect for art by hanging their ac-
coutrementS on the great statues, by
littering the place with the refuse of
army camps, even at times by hitch
ing their horses in and about the
square.
Should some heroic figure commemo-
rative of the great war be erected
there the spot where France has sor-
rowed for more than 40 years will be-
come spot where France can re-
joice. Even without this final trib-
ute of the artists imagery, the gar
land crowned figure of the Redeemed
Sister" will remain forever a thing OF
/ joy to the true son and daughter o1
France, as well as to the lovers of lib
