ARMY WILL STUDY smEwror circus Officers .to Learn How Big Shows Handle Transportation Problem.

In the near future two army officers from Washington will be sent to travel for a couple of weeks with the Ringling Bros, circus, which shows -here Tuesday to study the wonderful method by which a circus moves so smoothly and rapidly without friction. It has been estimated that taking into consideration the total number of people with the circus, nearly thirteen hundred, and the fact that it carries about one thousand animals and 650 horses, besides all the necessities of a moving village, without friction, the machinery of the thing must be worth observation. No army detachment in action has ever pitched camp and moved each day with such rapidity. A train one mile long is required to carry the Ringling Bros, circus from city to city. It travels in five sections, comprising in all eighty-five cars. The forced marches of the circus are accomplished by & series of elimination. The 'first section of the train carries the commissary department. This section leaves town about nine o'clock every evening, so that 'there will be no delay in getting breakfast in the morning for circus people have a right to be hungry folks. A corps of 70 cooks, waiters and k?tchen helpers travel on it, as well as '150 horses. As soon as they arrive in town they 'unload the kitchen and the "cook jtent," and fires . are burning in the jranges twenty minutes after they ireach the lot. v On the second section come the menagerie and more horses. On the third train are the parade equipment and jtbe bulk of the draft horses. On the Ifourth are the fourteen acres ofcanIvaes, the hundreds of ring properties, rigging, poles, seats, shops, and other paraphernalia. The performers, business staff and the elephants and cam;els arrive on the last train. By this (time breakfast is ready. , ,. The cooks and chefs have a big Job, and prepare for breakfast 5,000 pan I -cakes, 600 pounds of pork chops, fifteen bushels of potatoes, 150 gallons of coffee, and other aids to hunger in like amounts.

A Lost Language. A monument to a lost language la to be found in the village of St. Faul, near Penzance, in Cornwall, and it is believed to be the only monument in f existence which marks the death of a vanished tongue. It commemorates the death of the last woman wbo spoke V in the Cornish language and was erected by a Frenchman. It is a granite obelisk about seven feet high and is built into the churchyard wall, the front facing the highway, where it is plainly discernible by all who pass that tway. The upper part is in the form of Maltese cross. The inscription reads as follows: "Here lleth interred Dorothy Pen treath. who died in 1777, said to have been the last person wbo conversed in the ancient Cornish, the peculiar language of this county from the earliest records till it expired in the eighteenth century in this parish of St. Paul." The Memory. ' Unquestionably the memory of the race Is deteriorating. Plato knew perifectly well what he was about when he declared that the invention of let- , ters was the deathblow of memory. In the old time men depended upon their memories - for all the affairs of life. The songs of the bards, the laws, ail business, transactions, everything that took place was lost unless men rememf bered it. And they remembered it. '.They had to remember it. The difference between the memories that carried the total content of human knowledge and the memories of today is , tremendous. There is no particular reason for remembering things today. They are all on record, and the memory of the Tace is accordingly dying out New Tork American.

IS COIISISTEIICY

Nature Is Inconsistent and the Great .Things Done by Man Have Sprung from Inconsistencies What Emerson Says! . ,

BY E8THER GRIFFIN WHITE. Consistency is a rare virtue. Or vice. Whichever way you care to look at it. ' Consistent persons are frequently the most unpleasant in all your social repertoire. They won't, in instance, do something they want to do and you want 'em to do because they have "taken a position" which makes them think they can't "consistently" follow the course of their and your pleasure. Consistency is a bogey which is wigwagged by the elect. They gloomily pride themselves upon being consistent the while they peep through the bars and envy their inconsistent neighbors on the latter 's gay and irresponsible way. Consistent people make more trou' ble than their virtue's worth. They hang to a point long after it has been deserted by every logician in the vicinity. ! They will make everything within a city block reek with unpleasantness to sustain their reputation for consistency. They foment quarrels. Foster irritation. Create strife. . Stir up rows. Wrangle. They will argue eternally about nothing at all just to show you how consistent their original position was. They accuse. Reproach. They tell you how much better you would succeed in life if you'd only be more consistent. "Now," they say wagging a portentous finger toward your aura, "isn't it a fact that on December Thirteenth, Eighteen hundred and forty-nine, at half past eight o'clock in the evening while you were standing in front of Wiggleworth's grocery, you said that You admit that this is altogether possible. That it would have been like you to have done that in eighteen forty nine. But as this is nineteen twelve, naturally you couldn't be expected to " There you are, they say. Right at this point you have exposed the blackest blot on your degenerate character. If, they vociferate, you had only been consistent and stuck at your post assumed in forty-nine, look where you might have been in nineteen twelve. In the lime-light mayhap. Possibly with a well regulated and carefully adjusted halo safely anchored in place. Probably repairing to the safety de posit at intervals, there to pull your box out, retire into an inner chamber and clip off little white pieces of paper that gave you a thousand per cent returns on your investment for consistency, and, incidentally, upon which you didn't have to pay taxes. Maybe now you would be courted, admired, feted. You might have, been a great celebrity. Owned a yacht, perchance. Salaamed to by flunkeys. Smiled upon by beauty. And heading subscription lists for the survivors. Clean Your Water-Closet Bowls The Easiest Way

REALLY A VIRTUE?

You besgught the consistent one, at this Btage of his discourse, to modify his linguistic clip. You can't endure it you say. You see only too clearly what you have missed. How you have ruined your life and blighted those of your friends and relations. How you might have been a pillar of society instead of a common, ordinary, good-for-nothing chump hanging on to the fringes and surreptitiously riding the bumpers but, anyway, you say, you are what you are and since the consistent one openly states there is no remedy "Never too late," cries the consistent one fixing you with his awful eye, turning to chapter sixty-eight, page 973, of the complete records of the International Order of Social Regulators, and reading impressively "If dum, dum, dum AND dum, dum dum THEREFORE dum dum dum SAID DEPONENT BE IT RESOLVED by THESE PRESENTS THAT TO VIT WIZ Here, however, you pull the statute of limitations on the consistent one. You say you don't care anyway. That you think its charming' to be inconsistent. It makes for variety, . vivacity, thrills, sensations and nice things happening that you never thought of the minute before. You quote Emerson. Generally you flee from Emerson quoters." But you can't resist the opportunity to ram this down the throat of the consistent one - "Consistency is the bugbear of .little minds." Why, you say, the world has only advanced if it could be said to have advanced by the inconsistencies of humanity. ' If mankind had been consistent we would still be wallowing in a state of polygamous anarchy. Religions have been created through the inconsistencies of faith. States have changed their political boundaries by its lack. Great literatures have owed their origin to its existence. -Celebrated reforms to its work. And Art becomes stagnant if given over to the operation of consistency. You can't "start something," you can't start anything, by consistency. Love is inconsistent. It must be to evolve its raison d' etre creation. Life is inconsistent. Look about you at its manifestations. Are they not unintelligible and lack-

Can you explain why beauty springs from filth? Why gorgeous flowers are nourished on manure? Why ugly parents will produce beautiful off-springs? Why an exquisite pink and white blossom will turn into a sour, wormy, gnarled apple? Why an angelic child will land on the gallows a hideous, polluted man? Nature is inconsistent. Man, being one of Nature's component parts, cannot be greater or less than his own source. ' Consistency may be a virtue. But we have no example to point to. "Do I contradict myself?" says Whitman. "Very well, then, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes." If this has been referred to before, it is nonetheless effective at this juncture. And therein lies the whole essence of human inconsistency. We are not Ourselves. We are a million other human entities who have united in pointing the stream of life our way. We are ten thousand times terf thousand fragments of reincarnated beings. ' ' To be consistent is the impossible. No, He Wasn't. Re And did you call at Monte Carlo while you were at Nice?
