The Barnum & Bailey “Greatest Show on Earth” will exhibit at Fort Wayne Saturday July 18. for two performances and street parade will lie given. In recent seasons the big cirrus lias had spectacular features hut this season the management has gone to untold expense in investing the big cirrus with a wonderfully brilliant pageant of Oriental splendor entitled “The Wizard Prince of Arabia.” This collossal innovation is offered at the opening of the show, thereby doing away with the old. stereotyped “grand entree” idea which has been worked to deatli by all the tented aggregations throughout the land. The latest addition to the family of motor-driven vehicles is the autoped. a picture of which is published in the August Popular Mechanics Magazine. This machine has the carrying platform below the wheel axles, and is designed to be ridden while standing on one or both feet, the control being in the steering pillar. The engine, 2% lip., is built in the front wheel, and the steering pillar is hollow, serving also as the gasoline-supply tank. The working parts are entirely inclosed, making them dust-proof, and there are no pedals or cranks about the machine, which will maintain, so the inventor claims, an average speed of 20 miles per hour over country roads, with a consumption of gasoline of hut 1 gal. to the hundred miles. During the past few days, Bluffton physicians have had to keep a strict watch on a young traveling salesman, who is known to have paid a visit to a physician’s office while the physician was absent ,and to have stolen morphine tablets. The young man called at the office of a doctor the early part of the week and begged for some herion tablets but was refused. He is later said to have confessed to have become so crazed for the drug that lie went to another office and stole some morphine. In his story the young salesman said that he jiad formed the habit last Thanksgiving when he took some heroin tablets while on a “spree" with some companions. He now claims to eat. fifty one-twelfth grains of heroin a day while the habit grows.

Phyalelana tn Colonial Virginia. Physicians In the early dnvs of the United States were regarded as "persons of extraordinary character," and were accordingly given a special share of the profits of the Virginia company, according to their services rendered to the colony. Another leas practical sort of remuneration is Indi caied In a certain document from the council of Virginia to the Heralds In England, which ntates that the names of certain physicians are to be inserted in a given paper "lest those dignitaries be offended at not being given due prominence.” The fees paid by the patient himself were very meugnr; In pre-revolutionary days, ordinary via its were worth sixpence and a "jaw splitting tooth drawing” eightpence extra. Very often a community retained a boneaetter at public expense, for his individual fees were too alight to support him. Meteorology In Russia. The meteorological service of Rus aia finds Itself in the position, rare in the experience of European scientific institutions, of having ample funds for Its present needs and future de velopment, thanks to a liberal in crease in Its budget recently author Ized by the government. The build Ings of the central physlcsl observatory the headquarters of the servlet in St. Petersburg, are to be enlarged; a meteorological observatory is to be established Immediately at Vladivostok. under which will be organized a network of new Siberian stations; a new aerological observatory Is to be erected this year near Pavlovsk, and in 1915 aerological sections will be added to the observatories at Tiflis Ekaterinburg and Irkutsk. industrial Education. What is considered to be the first extensive list of books and articles on industrial trade and vocational education yet compiled has just been issued by the United States bureau of education. The bibliography was prepared by Henry R. Evans of the edditorlal division of the bureau, assisted by members of the library staff Literally, hundreds of books and articles have recently appeared on this all important subject and ft Is in order to furnish a guide to the material now available that the bureau has issued its bibliography. About 500 carefully selected titles are listed and the more Important works are summarized for the busy reader who wants to see at a glance what a book contains. Horse Latitudes. Edwin C. Martin, 'author of "Oui Own Weather,” gives an explanation of the curious name by which the tropical calm belts are sometimet known—that of Horse Latitudes “The name,” he says “would seem, though to belong in strictness only to the northern belt; for the account com monly given of Its origin is that ves seis carrying cargoes of horses from New England to the West Indies were so often caught in tropica) calms and compelled by the shortening supply of fresh water to cast some of the horses overboard as to make the region a byword for this expe rience."

Aeroplanes as Ambulances. Two interesting papers were read it the navy and army and ambulance section of the Doctors' conference by Major Blrrell on the work of a Britisb Red Cross unit with the Bulgarians and by Lieutenant Colonel Donegal on the utility of aeroplanes In medical services in the field. Colonel Donegal expressed the view that in a very few years the airship would replace the present ambulance train, at least sot the removal of “sitting up" cases. He described a large biplane built for medical service with accommodation for the pilot, three others and an op erating table. Staggering Intelligence. Great Is the intelligence of the typical conductor of a "sightseeing car.” One of these cars was passing the Luther Memorial church, in Wash fngton, a few days ago, when the statue of Martin Luther on the church lawn was pointed out and an interest ed countryman asked, "Who Is Martin Luther?” The conductor promptly replied: "Why, he was the first pastor of that church.” That conductor’s knowledge of churches was almost uy to that of the typical policeman. Packing Flowers. Send flowers in a tin box, such ar crackers are packed In. These boxer come in various sizes Line the bos with paraffin paper, then with moist cotton. Place the flowers carefully in this, sprinkling lightly, and placing on each layer of the blossoms a thickness of moist cotton. Fasten the top or securely aud wrap in stout brown paper. When you have addressed the parcel print on it in large clear let ters: "Flowers, Perishable! Keep in a cool place ” “Musical” Conversation. It is regarded that a certain musician. disgusted with the chattering that usually takes the place of listen Ing during a musical performance, arranged with his violin, bis violoncello and *he rest that the music should suddenly stop in the midst of the loudest passage In the piece. It was done, and, clear and distinct above all the loud talkers’ voices, these words were heard: "We always fry ours In lard!” He Had the Experience. "What did the city doctor tell you about, your complaint?” “Told me a lot of nonsense! Said I was eatin’ too much pie. It s just, fool nonsense! Why I've been eatin’ pie three times a day for 28 years, and ort to know.” —UM
