 The girls, immediately clad in white uniforms, use but SiX-foot square surface for their dazzling act which is fatal to people with weak tickers. The ease and grace exem- plified by the performers in swing ing each other around like nobody's business created 8 most favorable impression on the minds of their ap- preciative audience.
 Viennese Troupe Good
 The famous Neiss Troupe, extra ordinary aerial bar specialists com- posed of three men and woman. drew rounds of applause for their difficult feats while the famous Fly ing Danwills, Viennese acrobatics, gave marvellous performance of hair-raising stunts.
 "Poodles" Hanneford and his vet eran family of equestrian wonders, favorites here for years. proved their popularity is still prevalent although their act is practically the same as previous years.
 Spillers famous seals, direct from successful engagement at the French Casino in New York, netted plenty of hand clapping. The three seals juggled. danced, balanced and what have you.
 An unusual novelty act featuring Mazelle and L,amonti scored decis- sivcly as a crowd pleaser. Miss Maz- ellie skipped rope on a rolling globe while comical Lamonti rolled a huge globe up an inclining board while he juggied lamp on his head and played My Wild Irish Rose" on a Saxopliorie. a

The automobile industry last year,
he added, used approximately 25000O,-
900 pounds OF copper and its alloys
and thus far this year production is
running II per cent ahead of 1896,
despite strikes, indicating use OF cop
per by auto makers may ring up a new
yearly record.

the alr-conditioning industry is ex-

in 1887, or double the record con-
sumption of 100000 pounds last
