From the ! .me the trained kanga
roos, “Big tto.V’ and "Long Tom,”
start their three-round boxing bouts
with their sparring partners, until the
clown bear, Tony, cuts his capers in
the hippodrome track, there is not an
idle moment in that portion of the
Ringling Brothers’ circus program
which has been dedicated to trained
animals.
The kangaroos, who wrestle and
leap hurdles ir. addition to giving fis
tic exhibitions, are exceptional among
animal talent, and the clown bear
possesses a real sense of humor. But
accompanying these performers are
scores of others even more marvelous.
There are three troupes of wonderful
seals who play at basketball, ride
horses, give concerts on fourteen dif
ferent musical instruments and per
form feats of Juggling which surpass
human attainments. There are five
herds of trained elephants including
the famous nursery troupe of pickan
niny pachyderms. These ponderous
fellows dance the latest tangos, give
an imitation of a mlpHtrel band, oper
and talk over telephones, play at cards
and billiards and walk ropes. There
are a dozen bands of beautiful train
ed horses and knowing ponies. These
are seen in a progression of dances
extending from the quadrille to the
modern hesitation waltz and the
■ grape vine.” Other troupes reared
upon their hind legs, march to the
ra-ta-tat-tat of drums like soldiers,
Jump through great barrels or, stand
ing in them, are wtiisked out of the
rings. Still others of snow-white coats,
pose as silent as marble statutes In
representations of great naintlngs.
Added to these are trick mules, pigs,
goats, cats, geese, and dogs that pose
in living pictures or ride horseback.
There is a troupe of every wild and
domestic animal known to the train
er's art and each has its clown. Ring
ling Brothers are to exhibit here Sat
urday. October 10.

JOHNSON IS THE NEW

George E. Johnson, for many years a
police commissioner and local politi
clan, was winner in the run-off pri
mary for the famous seat warmed so
many years by thenoted "Jedge B riles,”
who goes to the court of appeals.
"Jedge Briles was some bad, but you
kinder knowed what he was inos' apt
to do,’’ said one frequenter of the city
stockade in Decatur stree(*today. "But
dish here Johnson man, you can’t count
on him. I'se bout made up my mind
to move to Blrminham.”
the new recorder, is
not a lawyer, but he knows human
nature and says that’s a lot more im
portant than law in dealing with police
court cases. In Ills campaign adver
tisements lie promised to temper Jus
tice with mercy upon occasions, but
quoted Robert Burns to the effect that
"the law’s the hangman’s noose to
keep the fretch affrighted” and indi
cated that he believed in rigorous
methods. It looks like a dark and
dismal year for Darktown.

To The Herald:
The letter which appeared in your
columns yesterday attempting to give
an idea of the meaning of a billion,
lends me to remember some astound
ing figures which may Interest your
readers
The following once appeared as an
advertisement for a certutn brand of
coffee:
If you place one grain of coffee on
the first square of a chess board, two
grains on tho second square, four on
the third, eight on the fourth, and so
on, putting twice as many on each
“I want to know-
I want to know!”
That s what a dear old lady exclaims when told anything that is new —strange to her.
ror awhile we laughed now we believe that very nearly all humans have the same feeling: they want to know,
they want tacts, figures, and proof that proves. Not generalities not estimates —but actual, unbiased, irrefutable
facts. And, they want these facts quickly—condensed—in a second.
They don t want to go to a library to search —don’t want to wade through a lot of dry, technical encyclopedias—
they want the meat” of the question at the finger tips instantly.
On the market are hundreds of almanacs —but the big majority are merely local directories. They tell
y°u where the City Hospital is—where to find the Orphan Asylum—what car to take to get to A street.
Electrical Measures;
Number of Evangelists;
Expenditure of U. S.;
Farm statistics;
Farmers table;
Ice yachting records;
Number of Jacobites;
Number of people in any given religious sect?
But do they tell you, for instance, anything about the Republic of Mexico —its agriculture—area
and population capital commerce debt education finance - government —judicature
—history language —Jits mines and minerals its monetary system its production and
industry— its towns —states—capitals- -weights—measures- currency?
Do they give you facts about this one question (alone) of the day that you would
like to know in order to intelligently understand their present ana past difficulties?
Do they give you the same important facts of your own state or any other
state in the Union?

square as you put on the last, you
will find that at the end of the sixty
four squares you have put enough
coffee on the chessboard to pack into
sacks, to load on freight cars, to make

(If you could find a chess-board big

Another somewhat surprising prop
osition is this: A penny put out at
compound Interest in the Year One,
the rate of 5 per cent, and left to ac
cumulate until the year 1776, would by
that time have amounted to a sum,
equivalent to a. mass of gold eighteen
hundred (1800) times the weight of
the earth. This latter statement ap-
Can you refer to any of them and know the world’s production in
hops—fire insurance statistics—fire losses in these United States ?
Do they give you facts in general about the earth ?
To put it another way— What do you know about—
pears In Adam Smith, whose great
work “Wealth of Nations,’’ appeared
in the year 1776. By this time (1914)
the mass of gold would weight some
thing like 1,843,200 times as much as
the earth.
