Trained Wild Beasts 'ACCIDENTAL DEATH
to be Big Feature of
Sparks Circus
Coming to Goderich, Friday, Aug. 17
Mgr. Chas. Sparks, of the Sparks
Circus coming to Goderich on Fri-
day, Aug. 17 is of the firm conviction
that variety is not only the spice of
life but of a modern circus as well,
and has this season deviated from N. R. train near his home at an early
the straight and narrow circus tradi- hour on Monday morning. The in -
tions of the past by augmenting his quest was conducted by Dr. McKay,
coroner, of Woodstock.
There was little evidence to be ad-
duced. Dr. H. G. McCaul, of Prince -
'con, described the condition of the
body when examined by him, show-
ing that death must have been in-
stantaneous. Miss McIntyre, cousin
of Fr. Hanlon. who had been acting
as his housekeeper, said she had
noticed his absence from home about
2.30 a.m., an unusual occurrence
with him. The railway line is close
THE BRUSSELS POST
Pointers in Brooder
Management
Experimental work conducted by
the Poultry liivieien of the Central
Experimental Farm at Ottawa shows
that chicks when fed even as early
as front twenty-four to thirty-six
hour_ after hatching, were subjee't to
no greater mortality, and made etlnal
Weight gains with birds of the saute
hatch that were allowed to go forty -
eighty sixty or seventy-two hours
after hatching before being fed,
In one experiment, mortality was
considerably lower in the early fed
pen.,. In another, mortality was
slightly less and weight gains were
equal.
It would therefore, seem to be pos-
sible that the chick's ability to go for
a long period without food, which
makes possible shipments over great
distances, is merely a fortunate cir-
cumstance, rather than the proper
method of. chick management. Cer-
tainly, •the matter of length of star-
vation period for chicks lends itself
readly to abuse with the result 'chat
VERDICT RETURNED chicks sometimes suitor form too
lengthy a fast, and mortality is ex-
perienced from inpaction caused by
straw shavings, or other litter mat-
erial picked up in an effort to find
food.
Work has also been carried on in
contrasting two methods of feeding
chicks which are commonly practis-
ed.
ed. namely, that of leaving dry mash
continually before the chicks from
'the start, and that of restricting the
amount of mash consumed at any one
time by closing the hoppers for dif-
ferent periods during the day. In one
experiment considerably greater gain
per chick and slightly greater mor-
tality was experienced when mash
was left before the chicks contin-
uously. In ano'cher experiment of
one week's duration, the chicks hav-
ing the mash always before them
made double the weight gains, with
less mortality to three weeks of age
than those birds receiving masa six
times a day for half hour periods.
In other words, the practice of limit-
ing the feeding period of brooder
chicks for the purpose of controlling
overeating was detrimental to health
and growth, rather than advantag-
eous.. When the enormous amount
of ex'cra time and labour required
are taken into consideration, it is
without doubt poor economy to use
the intermittent method of feeding.

Coroner's Jury Investigates Death of
Rev. Fr. Hanlon at Princeton
Princeton, Aug. S—A verdict of
accidental death was reached by the
coroner's jury here this evening in
concluding the inquest into the death
of Rev. Fr. James Hanlon, who was.
instantly killed when struck by a C.

number of trained wild animals of a
thrilling nature, among them being a
group of five real forest bred African

Candidates for Priesthood have Nine

.t--4tolry of the East.
To the `Vestertt mind China has
been ever en enigma. Through our
aenturiee of progress, her ancient
civilization may be said to have re -
ambled ail-:tuineient for her people,
and evert the welter of revolutions,
internecine strife, and the scores of
„generals" who spring up in a niLlit
and disappear as quickly into obliv-
ion, have but scratched at the sur-
face of the true character of the
phlegmatic, ancestor - worshipping
Celestial.
Yet behind the expressionless
masks smoulders a grim fanaticism In
no tray more clearly exemplified than
by the ancient ritual of the Buddhist
tuenl,e.

Yangtze and opposite IIanlcow, lately
the centre of pandemonium, blood-
lust, and ineendlarlsm, stanch the
hill of Hung Shan, its summit crown-
ed with the pagoda of Pan Tung
Shin, the Monastery of Pervading
Preciousness. It is here that can-
didates for Buddhist priesthood must ,
pees through the physical torture
that Is their initiation, and so ensure
their spiritual welfare,
Over a thousand years old is this
pagoda, erected at the beginning of
the Tang dynasty between A.D..630
and A.D. 907. Of all the Yangtze
temples it is, perhaps, tho one in best
repair, thanks to the ceaseless work
of generations of monks and the vast
wealth they are said to administer.
At the time of an ordination, if the
traveller is fortunate enough to gain
the
1pass through admittance he will g
monastery woodshed, by way of
kitchene and refectory, to the eerie
heart of the temple. And just before
dawn the awesome ceremony will be-
gin. Male voices chant in the sha-
dows, drawing ever nearer to the dim
light of the central hall, Gilt images
grin down, nine on either side—the
Lo Hans, earnest of Buddha's dis-
ciples—and in the centre is the great
cross-legged figure of Buddha him-
self,
On either side stand three cowled
monks with books held before their
faces, chanting and reading in turn,
the pauses punctuated by the clash-
ing of gongs and the roll of wooden
drums. At the head of the table
stands a monk with brilliant scarlet
headdress, and in the adjacent room
the candidates wait.
There may be sixty of them ready
to attend the ceremony, their faces
like death -masks, and clothed in long
robes of drab grey. After an hour
of chanting and gong -sounding and
drum -beating, they appear before the
great idol, where a long bench has
been placed, with straw hassocks in
readiness.,. On the benoh are the in-
struments to be used in the agonizing
process of burning holes in their
heads. There are sticks of incense,
wax, and slices of raw turnip,
They' enter, kneel, and on each
shaven head the officiating monks
mark nine spots where the flesh is to
be burned. The sticks of incense are
affixed to the spots and the taper
ignited. It takes two minutes — an
eternity to the onlooker—for the in-
cense to burn its way to the scalp.
Between the patches, pieces of tur-
nip are placed to prevent the heat
from spreading. And all the time
there is the rolling of the drums.
On no single face is there a quiv-
er, but the pain must be excruciating
as the live ash iespressed down into
the burnt-out holes, and then these
newly -ordained monks are led away
by their seniors.
TO STOP TRAINS.
Automatic System Installed Said to
Ile Quite Successful.
A naw, devica for stopping trains
automatically is about to bo installed
on the Berlin -Dresden line in Ger-
many.
Tho new device is worked by an
electric -magnetic system, one magnet
being attached to the rails between
the first semaphore, or warning sig-
nal, and the principal semaphore,
while the other is affixed to the loco-
motive. On observing the warning
signal, the engineer can disconnect
the locomotive's magnet by means of
a simple lever, failing to do so, how-
ever, the brakes are automatically
applied about a quarter of a mile be-
fore the principal semaphore, when
the locomotive cannot be started
again until the engineer gets off and
operates a releasing device attached
to the semaphore. Neither snow, ice
nor any other foreign substance can
diminish the electro -magnetic power
of this device which therefore can
never become clogged as other mech-
anically operated contrivances.
World's Most Powerful Station.
Germany possesses by far the most
powerful radio transmitting station in
the world, It is situated at Zee -
seri, fifteen miles from'Berlin, This
station has the tremendous ene-
gy of 120 kilowatts, or six times that
of Daventry, the meet powerful Eng-
lish station, and about a hall more

masts that bear the antenna aro near•

A newly -tapped hot spring at Nie-

its kind in Europe.

Dehydrating Canadian
Fruit
The process of dehydration as ap-
plied to fruit inay be 'used to save
from waste many of the orchard and
garden crops. Canada imports more
than five million dollars worth of
dried fruits each year, including ap-
ples, apricots, currants and peaches,
besides the tropical fruits which we
cannot grow. The Department of
Agriculture at Ottawa has conducted
(investigations covering a period of
several years to find out among other
things whether fruit dehydrated in
Canada can take the place of import-
ed goods of the same class. In the
report of the Committee in charge of
this work it is clearly brought out by
the excellence of the fruit dehy-
drated at the stations in British Col-
umbia and Ontario, that when fruit
of good quality is used a thoroughly
fine marketable product results, I't
was discovered that dehydrated fruit
when properly soaked refreshes al-
most to the original fresh weight. It
was made equally clear that a good
i product cannot be made from fruit of
inferior quality. Dehydration differs
from what is generally known as
evaporation in that the process is dif-
ferent and there is more moisture left
in. the stock. The report of the coin-
niittee, available at the Publications
Branch, Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa, contains information that
fruit growers may well carefully
