At the low end he dives ever the handle bars of his wheel, allow ing It to drop Into a net, while he projects himself through trie air, the In tervening space between Incline and tank, end Into the latter. The rush down the Incline and the flight of the body through the air Is terrifying to the spectators. Russell courts death every time he mounts his wheel. The act will- be opened Sunday afternoon and will be seen every afternoon and night. No act of kindred nature de mands so much money. Throughout the east It waa the reigning sensation, the loop-the-loop and similar acts being placed In the background. The papers everywhere dubbed It the "deliber ate suicide."

And ' everywhere fashion has demanded them as a sacrifice to woman's vanity. Now, however, a brighter day has dawned for the feathered folk. Persistent cglta tlon by the Audubon societies has had Its effeot on fashion. The farmer, fruit grower and gardener have had their eyes opened. And, best of all, the United States gov ernment has declared In favor of the birds. Experts have come to the conclusion that the more we improve our agricultural methods and 'multiply our crops the more we stimulate . the growth of pestiferous Insects. They hold that It has been es tablished that the farmer, fruit grower and gardener cannot expect to overcome the insects without the help of the birds. They go so far as to say that without the help of his winged allies man would have to vacate the land. The birds help the husbandman by eat ing Insects and the seeds of noxious weeds. They hurt him by eating fruit and berries. Since their aid is necessary, the loglo of the situation at that they should be en couraged to continue to eat Insects and seeds and should be diverted from fruit. This, it Is claimed, crn bo done by sup plying food that they prefer to fruit. Take, for Instance, the catbirds and robins, who eat so voraolously of straw berries, raspberries and cherries.

In the same way by encouraging the growth of the elderberry, chokecherry, mountain ash, mulberry, Virginia creeper, and other trees and shrubs, it is proposed to furnish the birds with food so attractive that they will let the garden produoe alone. A special bulletin of the Department ot Agriculture says that while 90 per cent of existing loglalatton Is in behalf of game birds instead of song birds, 80 per cent of the most useful of the feathered vis itors are song birds.
