Circus Facts


Ever want to ask a lot Of questions
Of some body or other when you
were at the circus? Things that the
program didn't tell anything about?
An agent ahead of the Ringing
Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus
came to town yesterday to say that
it is to exhibit in indianapolis on
Friday, July 25.
He was asked to jot down some
odd facts about the big show. Here
they are:
Travels on 100 railroad cars, made
up into four trains.
Out of $50 places visited in a sea-
son less than twenty are played for
more than one day.
Travels 10000 miles in a summer.
Exhibits more than 1000 jungle
animals in its colossal menagerie.
Carries owe 1900 people on tour
all of whom are given three meals
each day in the circus dining tents.
Daily expenses of show between
$4,000 and $4,000.
-Four hundred draught horses car
ried to move the show.
Three hundred ring-stock horses
used in performance.
Two thousand two hundred stakes
driven and pulled each day.
A complete new set of canvas used
each spring.
Tents contain forty-two miles of
rope.
If you could set the elephants on
n another's heads the topmost
would reach to the roof of a thirty
story building.
Supposedly "untamable" zebras
taught to draw floats in the tourna-
ment.
Does not S local light plant,
but carries its own dynamo wagons.
AS many acts shown in one per-
Torrance az are given in many
theaters in an entire season.
One hundred clowns running in
age from 10 to Is years old.
Tom lynch, boss hostler, 70
years old, has been with the circus
f1fty-three years.
Tallest member of family" Nosey,
the giraffe, Is years old, twenty
one feet high.
Smallest human member, Major
Mite, % years old, stands eighteen
inches.
Opens its season in New York
City the last week in March or first
week in April. Gives its final per-
Torrance in some one of the At
lantic seaboard states in late Oc-
tober or early November.
The tour of the big show ranges

a WEIRD c1ake dance was per-
"A performed Ia absolute silence
by thirty employees Of Paramount's
New York studio when one Of the
longest dolly" Gamers shots ever
attempted in a talking picture was
successfully accomplished during the
filming of Jack Oakie's starring We
hicle, @Ths Sap from Syracuse"
A sound camera travelled 500 feet
in two minutes along the deck of an
ocean liner. while behind IL tiptoed
thirty workmen carrying the three.
half-inch electric cables attached TO
the machine.
The camera followed a group OF
actors from the royal suite Of the
vessel, along the transverse passage
which extended from rail to rail and
down the entire length of the prom
enade deck With no stops en- route.
Dolly shots" which used to be
quite common in silent days when
there we're no microphones, and
cameras were cranHed by hand, were
practically abandoned with the ad-
vent of the talking pictures, due to
the extreme difficulty of moving the
great camera booths about the
stages.
This was overcome to some extent
by introduction of "blimps," or suit
vase sized camera silencers and dolly
shots again we're made, although
their movement was restricted still,
due to the fact that microphones,
cameras and light r~eflectors must
travel together, dragging their
power cables behind them.
Desiring to give audiences an i'm
preston of the size of an ocean
liner, Director Edward Sutherland
solved the problem by mounting a
blimp on a small r~ubber-tired truck
together with a microphone, re-
fector and three man crew. All the
cables in the studio we're collected,
spliced and wound on a drum.
When all was in readiness two
men pushed the truck after the
actors while others stationed in a
long line beside the drum, gripped
the cable every fifteen feet and tip
toed after The camera.

Editor Of The Con~gregationalist


BY WILLIAM Z. GTLROY. d. d.
Editor OF The Congregationalist
TT is an old saying that expert
i ence is the best teacher. But.
unfortunately, it is true that much
of its teaching comes too late for
one to profit by it.
There is. however. an experience
of individuals, an experience of the
race. from which the thoughtful
person of today may profit. If our
eyes are sufficiently alert, We are
not likely to fall in5o the pitfalls
into which other already have fallen.
We are not likely u stake our in
terest upon some project in which
We have seen some one else fail.
AS a matter of fart, we do profit
considerably by such observations OF
experience in material things, but
man shows too often a strange
blindness in perceiving the moral
and spiritual effects of conduct.
There is always the hope that in
some way in that realm cause and
effect will not operate. and that one
is going to be mor fortunate than
those who have found disaster in a
particular course.
The lives of Jacob and Esau are
still somewhat instructive for those
who can profit b. the story Of var
led experiences: aid we are apt to
profit all the more today in as much
as u freer reading of the Bible
does not induce us longer to feel
that we must defend its heroes
where their characters and actions
can not be defended.
Jacob was certainly not alto
gether either a lovely or a lovable
character. All that can be said con-
corning him is that he had some
excellent qualities and that upon
these qualities there could be built
something worth while, even If
there were IN the man elements Of
over-reaching ana trickery.
ESau. while a much more likable
character. had in him. however. no
element Of stability. He was like
a great many other men wo are
pleasant enough. and whose lives
are not characterized by any par
ticular list of imnloralitieS that one
could charge against them, but
whose whole attitude and life are
immoral because there is n sense
of duty or obligation. no linking
up Of will and character with things
that are worthy and good.
The contract between these two
men is very marked, and on the
whole il is true to life So often
the man Of energy and devotion is
not free from Objectionable quail
ties. His ambition often becomes
too jealous in making him over
reaching and crafty in dealing with
his fellows. When We see these OBJ
iectionable qualities in the steady
and successful, we are apt to prefer
the ESauS TO the Jacobs. But the
biblical story after all chooses for
the child Of promise and succession
the stronger man.
The larger story of Jacob, as it is
suggested in the whole text Of our
lesson. shows considerable of the
progress that a mar with grave
faults and grave temptations made
in conquering his besetting sins; but
the final stage of the story in our
lesson shows also how even in spite

ONE of the most often asked questions that come to my desk and to
