Even while spectators sit, bewilder ed by the sublime splendor of the sight above them, they do not for a moment lose sight of the daring and the danger involved. It is a thriller of the most pronounced type. It does not depend on a mass of ponderous machinery to give a death-trap suggestion. There is real and not merely the semblance of danger in the act. This fact is quite evident at first sight This is a high-priced act and an ab skirts and ribbon showers, as novel ties. Others among the aerialists who add to the strength and the novelty of the Bhow are the famous Klarkonians, the Flying Wards, the Richard sisters, the great La Fayette and the Nelson families. The regular performance opens this years with a newly added spectacle, telling the story of Joan of Are on a stage bigger than a hundred ordinary theatres and with a cast of 1,200 per sons. Also 600 horses and a train load of special scenery Is used. The spectacle in itself cost $500,000 and is attraction enough to fill the main tent If there were nothing else to be seen there.

Napoleon the Great was exceedingly superstitious. The following is told as one of the illustrations of this: When Napoleon, in the upiing of 1799. was lying before Acre he was anxious for news from upper Egypt, whither he had dispatched Dessalx in pursuit of a distinguished Mameluke leader. Not many days after a cour tier arrived with favorable dispatches, favorable in the main, but reporting one tragical occurrence on a small scale that to Napoleon outweighed the public prosperity. The commander as a brave man felt that any fate that awaited bini would be better than to fall into the bands of the enemy. He set fire to the pow der magazine. The vessel blew up and the crew perished. For all this Napoleon cared little bnt one solitary fact that was in the report which struck him with secret ! alarm this 111 fated boat was called L'ltalle. and in the name of the vessel Napoleon read an augury or the fate which had befallen the Italian terri tory. He felt certain that Italy was lost, and Napoleon was inconxolable. But what possible connection, it wa asked, can exist between this vessel on the Nile and a remote peninsula of southern Europe? "No matter." re plied Napoleon, "my presentiments never deceive me. You will see that all is mined. I am satisfied that my Italy, my conquest. Is lost to France." So. indeed, it was. New York Press. Work That Congress May Do, but, Once Done, Cannot Undo. Several times it has been proposed to make two states out of the state of New York. In fact, resolutions have been introduced in the state legisla ture once or twice, but have died in committee. The purpose has been to include all of the present state south of Westchester county In a new state to be called (in one Instance) the state of Manhattan. North of the Bronx district the name of New York was still to be retained. The surrounding islands of the south all those of Long Island sound. Long Island complete and all of the counties comprising New York city were to be embraced within the new state of Manhattan. The creation of a new state confers a right thnt cannot later be abrogated and in this respect is unique in the establishment of political areas. After the people of the district In question have decided by vote that the carry ing out of a new state Is desired, con gress passes upon the application. Up to this point congress Is supreme. Once, however, congress agrees to the new state creation and the new state becomes fin established fact, then no power of the republic can undo what has been done by legislative act. No repeal can revoke the privileges of a law abiding sovereign state. New York Sun. Pretty Useful Shoes.

Of all the games ball seems to be peculiarly a girl's game throughout the ages. The Roman girls used to strike balls with the palm of the band to keep tbem bouncing or would fling them against the wall to drive tbem back on the return or would pass the ball from hand to bund In the ring or in a row. The ball of the olden times was much like the one now in use. It was soft or bard, as occasion demand ed; It was plain with painted or em broidered cloth; it was a hollow large balloon or a small right sphere. The German poets make frequent allusion to ball as a girl's game. It was de scribed as a first sport of summer. One writer observes. "WheB I saw the girls on the street playing bail then came to our ears the song of birds." The game was a favorite one with youths and maids, who would contend for the ball, that the one who gained It might throw It to the one loved best Kansas City .Times.
