A circus so big that it requires two added rings, eiglit stages, a wider hippodrome track and a 700-foot-long big top to display its marvels is now T headed this way. It is the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows, to give performances at South Bend July 16. ** The five rings now used have been made necessary to present the added attractions got together in the spring to celebrate the combined shows first appearance in New York's New Madison Square Garden. The edifice is the biggest ever built for circus pur* poses. To fittingly dedicate it the Ringling Brothers themselves spent months in Europe mobilizing the biggest circus in history. This same show that for weeks entertaine'd New York's millions is now on tour tinder canvas. The tournament is as brilliant as in the past but has been enlarged by the addition of such novfelties as zebras and llamas broken to harness and hitched to gem-studded floats. Wee baby elephants ride at the top of allegorical cars. The managerie of more than a thousand animals embrace such features as thirteen elephant youngsters with the smallest stationed side by side with the largest pachyderms in captivity. Another importation is the largest and handsomest tiger of which there is record. t Performing horse acts are now presented in quintet—a troupe in 1 each of the live rings. Those elephants who are performers appear in similar formation—five herds at one time. The number of men and women aerialists, bareback riders, gymnasts and high-wire performers has been increased to eight hundred. There are three hundred of which appear in a single display. One hundred double length care-are required to handle this gigantic amusement enterprise. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. O. J, Yoder and family of Elkhart were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Mullett.

Sorry He Spoke During the World war the officers frequently had difficulty In getting the proper salutes from the negro One bright morning a negro private met the colonel of his regiment and greeted him with “Howdy, boss.” There followed a long tirade from the officer on the correct way to salute.

Finally he Interrupted long enough to say: “Land’s sakes, boss, If Ah’d thought you was goto’t* feel so bad about It, Ah wouldn’t hare spoke to you a tali.” Maori Fish Legend Old legends still prevail among the Maoris of New Zealand. One of the earliest of these stories tells of the formation of the north Island of New Zealand, which resembles a fish In shape.

Varnish Long Used by Artists and Sculptors The known use of varnish extend* as far back as the time of the Egyptians. Many of their wooden mummy cases such as the one containing King Tut were coated with a pale, varulshUke Substance. From the Egyptian period through the,.first pnrt of the Christian era our knowledge of varnish making is incomplete. It Is known, however, that the urt was quite widely practiced among artists and sculptors and, in later times, by the monks in the. mom asterles. At that time,. aml>er —or what they called umber —was used entirely for the better grade prnlslies. For the more common varieties sitndarac was usually employed, and even frankincense, the much-mentioned Biblical substance, was used for this purpose. This substance was not, however, the same easy-flowing liquid we know as varnish today. Owing to the absence of any thinner it was a rather thick gummy mass. But ns it was intended to be spread or rubbed on with the fingers a thinner vehicle was not desired. Usually the old recipes udded, no doubt for the benefit of particular ones, that the varnish, might be applied with a clean sponge substituting for the fingers. Cold Discovery Due to Shrewd Observer Gold was discovered in Australia, the great Island continent, for the first time about seventy-five years ago, by Edward Hargreaves, who was a California forty-niner, and who was struck with a similarity between the strata and rocks of the district of Corobolas, near Bathurst, Australia, and those of the Golden stateWhen he returned from California he began digging and in 1851, on February 12, lie.struck gold in considerable quantities. The news caused intense excitement throughout New South Wales, thousands flocking to yie “find.” A few months later an aborigine found a large lump of gold among a heap of quartz, and soon after a miner found 122 pounds of gold, in three blocks of quartz. Gold to the value of 148,000,000 was shipped to England In the first two years after its discovery by Hargreaves.—Chicago Journal.

"Showing Off” Seldom a Trait of Sterner Sex Modesty in man seems to be inherent. It appears at a very early age and Is apparently Independent of training. The little girl begins to show pleasure in .being noticed and In wearing nice clothes. The little boy is tlie shyest creature imaginable. His one longing is to look exactly like all other boys and to be lost in the mob, is the assertion of Itamsey Traquair, in the Atlantic Monthly. Most boys pass through agonies on going first to school, because their collar is not quite the right pattern or their tie is the wrong color. It is not until a fairly’late age that they learn to have an Individuality. Many men, Indeed, remain boys in tins all their lives, each one is of “the crowd,” and unfortunately our present system of education tends to keep them so. One of the difficulties in introducing the boy scout movement into Canada was the shyness of Hie boys. They were ashameSfo show their knees or elbows. In tiiFCnlted Stales the'bsy scouts still modestly Cover these parts. Girls, as we know, have no such shyness. Wherever man is supreme, as in Turkey or India or classic Greece, he enforces modesty on women. Wherever woman rebels against Ills rule lie denounces eucli new tiling she does ad Immodest or unwomanly. Pomposity Rebuked A certain man is inclined to be pompous and obstinate. A short time ago he visited a navy dockyard, and somehow managed to get aboard a vessel where at the time excluded. An officer encountered him upon the deck and told him that he could not remain. The visitor swelled up and said that lie was a taxpayer, that as such he owned part of the warship upon which he was standing, and that he had a right to be aboard and would not depart. The officer looked at him a moment Then he walked over to an anchor chain and with his pocketknife’ scraped a bit of rust from it. Returning to the visitor, be offered him. she flake of rust, and said: ,". ; “Here’s your share 'of .this ship. Take It and get out.”—Loudon Answers.

Abraham Claimed byMoslems as Brother Besides the Biblical account of Abraham there Is a great deal of apocryphal and rabbinlcul literature concerning him, a writer in the Cleveland Plain, Dealer remarks. He looms very large also In Sfohammedan legend, wherq lie appears as the most important of the Biblical personages mentioned in the Koruh. Indeed he Is claimed us a Moslem, and Mohammed made him the most prominent flg- . lire. Os pre-Mohammedan religious history. The Jewish Encyclopedia digests and Interprets nil of this material In its article on Abraham. There are also Tompkins’ “Studies In the -Time of Abraham" and W. J. Deane’s “Abraliaui : His Life and Times." * There Is a similarly large body of legend and -undent literature concerning Solomon and the queen of Sheba. The Jewish Encyclopedia deals with this also. The Abyssinians as a people do not claim to be descended from the royal pair, but their tradition Is thut their reigning family’s ancestry may be traced directly to Solomon and the queen. Unlucky Number Not Inimical to Wagner The number 13 played a curious trick in the life of Richard Wagner. He was born in 1813. The numerals -of the year of Ills birth added together make ,13, and he was given a name (Richard) the letters of which added to those of his family name (Wagner) also make 13. He finished “The Flying Dutchman” on September 13, 184-1, and completed “Tannhauser” on April 13, 1844. The scoring of “Das RhelngoTd” was finished on May 13, 1834, and thut of “Parsifal" on January 13, 1882. He wus exiled from Germany for 13 years, and his long-cherished plan of giving his own operas In Purls was carried out with a production of “Tannhauser” on March 13, 1861. The first performance of “The Ring” complete, at Bayreuth, was given August 13, 1876. He composed 13 complete operas, and, curiously enough, h!.s death took place on February 13, 1883. Tiles Long in Use Ancient peoples made use of tiles thousands of years ago and many examples of the decorative tilework of the Babylonians, the Egyptians and the Persians have been found. The world lost many valunble things, among tlieui the art-of making tiles, during the conquests of Alexander In the latter part of,the Fourth century, B. C. More than 1,700 years passed bv before tiles again came to the fore. Tlie Saracens made tiles in the Fifteenth century and the use of this decorative medium spread to other parts of the civilized world, first to Spain, and thence to Italy, Holland, England, Germany, Mexico, France and finally to America. Jlie Spanish tiles of Mexico founl| their way into California and English tiles reuched us through New York.

World’s Noisiest Place There Is at least one place In the world that Is even noisier than New York city’s busiest street intersection, and that place Is Niagara fulls. Recent test made with an audiometer,a- new n<riSe-'measurittg Instrument perfected by tlie Bell telephone laboratories, showed that the tumult of the cataract t the mouth of the ’Cave of the Winds would smother the roar and clatter of trains and cars at the intersection of Sixth avenue, Broadway and Thirty-fourth street. Niagara's noise measured 70 units,while the test that busiest spot In the metropolis could do was 55. —Popular Science Monthly. Bird Travels With the approach of autumn, the warblers, swallows, martins, flycatchers and boats of.other birds quit these shores on a long journey, .flying south for warmth and food, 3ays London Answers. Tills great trek Is one of the mar vels of bird life. Millions of birds have never undertaken the journey before; many more have traveled it several times. But In some Instances the young leave before their parents. In some wonderful manner go direct to the country, perhaps 3,000 miles distant, to which their parents will eventually go. # .
