An UnbreakabIe Cigar.

DROPS. JAMES S. LONG and Henry
l. UIIman Of the chemistry depart
ment of Lehigh University, Bethle-
hem, Pa, after year of research
work have successfully discovered
d. method Of treating cigars 80 that
they will not break in the pocket
says the Scientific American.
They concentrate their attention
on the binder OF the cigar which is
It's strength. It was found that to
bacco stems which are left over after
the tobacco leaf is stripped, and
,whicf, have been considered as refuse.
would make D very tough paper-liks
material, resembling a tobacco leaf
when rolled out on a paper pulp
machine.
TO preserve its odor a liquid which
was pressed from tobacco leaves was
mixed with It when It was rolled out.
This made a very desirable binder;
but when smoked II gave an odor like
that from burned paper. The prob
lem was how were the chemists to
restore the tobacco odor.
There was no mechanical means by
which this could be done. In expert
nenting chemically, 1t was to be re-
membered that the law permits the
use only of q few chemicals in cigars
After tests, extending over the
period of a year, q chemical substance
was discovered
In fact, they discovered two things;
that the refuse part Of the tobacco
plant can be utilized in the rnanufsc-
ture Of cigars, and that cigars can be
made of such q durable binder that
they can be carried without any risk
Of breaking.

Columbia proved a drawing card.
Later, when the great combination
was made, she was with the Barnum
and Bailey show. Perhaps she was
spoiled by too much attention; for.
when she was two years old, she
began to show signs Of nasty dis
position. The older she grew the
worse it got
She used her trunk chiefly for strik-
ing her keepers, two or three OF
whom she injured, and by the time
she was seven, she had to be kept
hoobled. AS a point Of honor Mr..
Bailey would not have q bad-tempered
elephant; nor would he sell one at
any price. When Columbia was eight
years old--she was almost full grown
--he condemned her to. death.
Big cat animals have intelligence

tiger; for he is lazier in his move
ments--lsss vicious. But even a lion
can never be persuaded to do any
thing striking. He jumps through a
hoop and poses with . group on q
pedestal, but the king of beasts Is
not the king OF actors. When it
comes to the burning hoop. 1t Is a
pretty well seasoned lion or tiger that
has the nerve to go through.
pLACK leopards are the most diff
cult Of all cats to train. There
are very few either trained or in
training. II the tiger could ever
be got to show, in a ring, his feats Of
strength or the length of his jump,
there would be something worth
seeing. have known a tiger, after
a kill in the jungle, to carry or drag

NAyeE III.

The Harmston circus drew a strange
crowd in calcutta-human samples
from all over the earth. Officers
and civilians OF the foreign popula-
tion came in more or less formal din
ner dress and sat in the circle of
boxes that was next the one ring.
Above these were the usual CIRCUS
seats arranged In circular steps.
There were SO many castles that it
was impossible to have candy
butchers" and cold drink sellers. In
the stalls sat the high-class natives
and Eurasians. unless they had money
enough to buy boxes, and in the pit
just anything and everything human.
The Hindustani. Bengali and Mo-
hammedan women could not sit with
the men and their faces must not
be seen; SO for them a section was
partitioned of with cheesecloth
stretched between bamboo poles. The
Eurasian women and the Tamils
stayed with their husbands and
fathers.
Through every change OF bill and
every performance, private or public,
there was one act that held on
George King, an Australian, and Raja,
the big tiger. Raja measured over
nine feet He was eight years old
and weighed all of $50 pounds. He
had fine markings and was in prime
condition. Day after day and night
after night for two years King had
gone into Raja's cage, a whip in
his hand, and put him through an
act.
The beast had a bad reputation,
which for show purposes was nat
urally exaggerated. He was said to
be a regular man killer. I knew for
a fact that he had killed four men,
-
KNG seemed to be fond of him,
~ however, and he acted as IL he
returned his trainers affection OF
course, King always fed him He
was brought to the point OF taking
bits of raw meat out of Kings hand.
King used to make up to" the tiger
while he was eating. and later coax
him to the bars and rub him behind
his ears. Raja would purr. purr. q
sort of smooth rumble, and new like
great tom cat Then he would
turn over on his back and roll while
King laughed and talked to him
When he was not with the tiger,
George King was q nobody about the
place--a helper with the canvas and
in the menagerie and a hard worker,
too. Everybody works hard in a cir
Gus. He got $40 month gold and
found" That is, he had board. lodg-
ing and transportation free But
when he entered the ring. then he
was somebody.
