Many of them are eduthe cated. In the circus natural enemies of the Jungles are taught to tolerate one another. Mystery of Circusdom. Much of the mystery of cirrus-dolies In the moving of this miniature cosmos, with Its citizenry of animals and people from every dime, and in the pitching of the tents that compose the canvas city. The largest circus carries Its own doctor, lawyers, detectives, barber shop, blacksmith shop, fire department, chefs, business experts, and postal service, and It travels on 10) railroad cars In four sections. There are long, steel flat cars for the wagons and other vehicles; huge box cars for the hundreds of horses, elephants, camels, llamas, zebras; commodious sleeping ears for the performers, staff, and laborers. That the moving of the show may be expedited, cook and dining equipment Is packed up at fiifiO In the afternoon, and is sent ahead aboard the flying squadron, along with the wild animal cages and the menagerie tent, which is loaded immediately after the start of the night performance. The land of the white top remains static for Just about six hours between the time the last wagon moves open the lot, in the late morning, until loading begins But, again, in the late afternoon. if there is a late arrival, the time between unloading and packing up again is shorter still. Of course, when the circus arrives on Sunday or when it remains in a city for more than one day. as it does In a few very large cities, this schedule The longest run Is not followed. made by a circus In 10.11 was the Ringline Barnum jump from Spring-field- , Mass., to Montreal. Canada, a Sunday trip of 3.15 miles. The shortest run was 12 miles, from Philadelphia to West Philadelphia. Circus exhibition In the United States had its beginning In 17S5 and President Washington attended Rirkett's circus In Philadelphia In 170.1. The circus of those early days was a puny ancestor of the present-dashow. Indeed, It had no elephant! The first pachyderm to set foot in the United States arrived several years later, aboard a sailing vessel called America. Spangleiand scarcely could lay claim to being a complete world In miniature were it not for the fact that within its boundaries can be seen the freak as well as the normal handiwork of Nature. The side show is a separate and distinct kingdom. ' . r- 1 : ..v-.- " ' iook! six weeks 'Vjr. r- - is . OF MUD AND WATER. NOTHING CAM STOP IT !
