Caring for Pets
By HORACE MITCHELL.
Odd Mention,

Hot weather, gang! Boy. has it been
hot where I live! Two or three days
were like the inside of our furnace
last Winter. And you know what that
means! YeS, extra care for petS'
All the cool water your dog and cat
want to drink! They'll consume lots
of it and it must be in the shade and
available to them all the time.
Feed animals lightly during hot
weather and don't try to make them
eat more than they want. In fact, I
believe it to be q better idea II they
don't get quite all they really want.
Give them enough to keep them in
good condition, but do not overfeed.
This is very important. A great many
grown-up human beings, who should
know better, eat large quantities OF
heavy" food on hot days and then
are surprised If they suffer sunstroke
or acute indigestion.
Dogs must not be chained out in the
direct rays of the sun, either. Give
them plenty Of shade and a nice bed
in the coolest spot.
Watch your aquaria, too. This heat
will evaporate the water very quickly.
Replenish It! And be on guard against
the rays Of the sun through the glass
windows and the glass sides Of the
tank, making the water too hot. Fish
die when the water becomes too hot.
Better move the tank to q north
window or q well shaded wall.
Cage birds shouldn't be in the direct
heat, either, not for more than little
while each day. Make them happy
with q bath-pan of cool water. And
should any of the birds refuse to
bathe you ought to sprinkle them with
IN atomiser.
Then you want TO take good care Of
yourselves, too! Get plenty Of swiras.
but not too many. Drink plenty OF
Lemonade, but not too much! And have
. generally swsIl time al around!

Modern Circus Dates Back to Rome
Nothing Under The Big Top Except Stunts Like Firing Man Out
of a Cannon and Doing The Leap of Death"

w YHILE most boys and girls
\Aj believe the circus was born
wv in America. 1t actually got
started 1000 years ago.
In 81 BIC, Pompey the Great, one
Of the triumvirate that ruled Rome.
decided he would Ike to become sole
ruler Of the empire. AS first step
he tried to win the favor Of the COM
mon people by putting on a great free
show. It WAS advertised. almost as
circuses are today. as "Five Days Per-
formances in the Circus Maxinus.
Free to Every One!"
Among the acts advertised was the
slaughter of 800 fierce Numidian
lions and 200 ponderous pachyderms,
performances to be interspersed with
chariot races, plus equestrian and ac-
robatic fests of great daring and
dexterity." And preceding the show
was gorgeous street parade!
Pompey's show literally packed
them in," for 100000 spectators saw
the first performance. 1t was such a
success that soon similar shows were
given throughout the Roman Empire.
And that was the start OF our modern
circus.
But that Is only one of the fascinst-
ing things about the big top" that
you should remember when next you
visit the circus. Still more amazing
Is the tremendous amount Of detail
and the efficient organization that is
necessary to keep circus moving
from city to city. playing in q new
place every day.
Every move that q circus makes
must be perfectly timed. and made
according to a rigid routine. A big
circus Of today travels In as many as
four trains, totaling 100 or more cars.
1t may have only 800 performers, but
l,400 people In all are necessary TO
put on the show.
In addition to the clowns. acrobats,
aerialists. equestians and such per-
formers there are many others whom
you may never see, but who are vital

In. Months before, the route for the
Summers tour has been carefully ar
ranged, and more than o hundred men
travel days or weeks ahead Of the
show, making all preparations for its
visit. These men include contracting
and purchasing agents, publicity men,
bill posters, and the 24-hour men, who
travel Just one day ahead Of the show
to see that all Is in readiness for 1t.
But even so, circus men frankly ad-
nit that many times they would be
unable to hold their performances If
it were not for the boys in the town
they are visiting. Whenever the circus
gets in trouble because of rain, wind
storm. mud or some other misfortune.
the boys are called on to provide extra
labor, and paid with free tickets. Cir
Gus men look on boys from II to 1s as
their best friends, and know they can
always depend on them for help.
But one old-time job Is no longer
available, and that Is carrying water
for the elephants. Big circuses now
have a more efficient way Of watering
the 'bulls"-they lead them to q
stream or q fre hydrant.
If you attend an evening perform
ance, note that the animal wagons are
all carefully arranged. After you
have gone inside and the show has
started. these will be loaded on their
cars. When you come out, the cook
house tent, the menagerie. and most
of the other stuff outside the big top
will be gone. As each act finishes, its
"riggin" Is loaded. The performers
themselves ride on the last train, and
are almost the last to leave the lot.
And remember just one other thing.
as you watch the smooth, effortless
stunts Of the aerialists, equestrians
and other stars. Those stunts may ap-
pear to be easy and not too dangerous.
but 1t has taken constant practice and
endless patience to make them look
that way. And every moment. those
performers are actually risking their
lives. for the slightest slip may mean
death or serious injury.

The strand waves in the breeze
until it touches some object to which
1t clings. Then the spider stretches
II taut, fsstens it firmly where she
stands. and begins to walk along the
single thread like a tight-rope walker,
TO the end that the wind has blown.
It is the first side of the outside wall
of her snare.
If necessary. she repeats the process.
but more than likely she can build
the next part Of the rim by walking
and spinning as she walks. being
careful to hold the silk away from
any leaves in the way by her seven
jointed hind leg. Arrived at the
chosen place. she again stretches the
thread and fastens it down by touch
ing the spot with her spinnerets.
When she has completed the outer
strand. she begins the spokes by at
taching q new thread to the wall and
letting herself drop, hanging upon the
very silk she Is spinning, to the
opposite side Of the outside rim.

One Bright Idea.

but thought that I was wise. l recK-
oned I'd not be so green if I'd just
use my eyes. and, jimmy Whos my
closest pal and went along. SAID ne
was kinda green himself and in the
eelfsar1e fix as me. And so we kinda
stuck around and helped each other
out, and wasn't long before we felt
we knew our way about.
Well, one day Jim says, "Looky
here, does 1t occur to you that some
day YOU might lose your way. and
then what would you do? Such things
do happen, Herb. you know; you
might Just get astray and leave the
bunch and then first thing you know
you've lost your way. 1t makes me
feel 50 shaky-like to think OF 1t at all
Saws I, That's not so very bad.
Well lust arrange a call. Remember
those detective yarns we read and how
that guy named Tompkins and his
brainy pal arranged bird like cry?
An owl 1t was; you recollect? The
notes could carry far; now If you'd
use a thing like that, I'd find out
where you are"
"A swell ideal" says Jim to me, "and
kind of thrilling, too-a secret call
twixt you and me-that hoot owl cry
will do. And II you're lost I'll hunt
for you and call for you all day. The
gang won't need to know you're green
enough to lose your way"
Two days from then the very thing
we'd talked of came to be. As luck
would have 1t, why, of course, the one
that strayed was me. Twas almost
dark when was sure I'd lost my way
to camp. sat down on a mossy
stump, all worn out from the tramp.
MY head sank down-dejected like
and then I heard an owl. I knew
that Jim had kept his word; gave

toward the place from where the
"Hooing" came: but somewhow seemed
as though the spot was never quite

returned the cry Till 1 was hoarse as
I could be. I kept a-running back
and forth-it came from all around
At last I couldn't stand at all; sank
down to the ground.
And then saw little light come
cleaning through the trees, and there
was Mr.. Williamson-and Jimmy, If
you please! IT thought we'd never find
you. Herb" says Jim, because you
see. when we fixed up that signal stuff
I never thought you'd be so thoughtless
as to lose the bunch at night instead

As Science Sees It
Spider Webs.

The spinning of its airy silver web
requires q bit of courage. a firm root,
a practiced eye and considerable
acrobatics on the part OF the spider.
For the spiders web is at once a
resting place, trap for food, and
sometimes a fairy airplane, upon
which the spider goes floating on any
breeze.
When the common garden spider
selects q place to build her nest tthe
females are the expert spinners), she
must decide whether she needs the
help Of the wind of whether she
can walk from point to point con-
veniently. If there are no easily
reached twigs, out from her spin
nerets comes a thread of silver liquid,
which harGens into a fine strand Of
silk as soon as it is in the air.
Evening star., 1935-07-07

Then she climbs to the middle Of
the last thread, attaches new one
at the central point. thus dividing
1t into two spokes, and begins spin
ming a third spoke. This she holds
out with her hind leg until she can
walk back again to the outside rim
and around to the point at which she
wishes to attach 1t.
More and more spokes she spins.
always going back to the center, and
Strengthening and patching as she
walks around wherever repair work
