Show THE GREAT ELECTRIC LIGHT. W. W. Cole, the well-known showman, has introduced this wonderful invention to the public and now uses it to illuminate the vast tents of his famous show, and it will be on exhibition both afternoon and evening during the sojourn of his mammoth circus and menagerie in Logan. This marvelous invention bids fair to eventually supersede all other modes of illumination, and the fact that it is to be presented to the public view in a thorough and practical manner, will prove gratifying to the thousands of visitors who daily witness his great show. A thirty horse-power engine is required to furnish the electric current, and seven huge chambers are used, which produce a luminous luxuriant light in comparison with which all other illuminations are but gloomy and shameful shadows, while this wondrous agency diffuses a halo of light more than equal to ??,000 gas jets, and under its sunlike rays every object becomes as distinct as though it were mid-day. Aside from this phenomenal feature, Mr. Cole promises more than any three shows that travel. There are those mighty giants, Capt. Bates and wife, who reach the enormous height of eight feet; a troupe of six trick stallions, which have been educated to a wonderful degree of excellence; a performing Spanish bull, the first ever on exhibition; a den of ferocious performing lions and tigers, and rare wild animals from nearly every zone on the face of the wide world, while the press throughout the land pronounces this circus the best one in existence. Over a million dollars are invested, and all its ?? are made doubly beautifully by the great electric light. |
