TRAINR N CAGE [ WITH 2 ANIWALS Pits Nerre Honde ™ Vigian Pebw, Ind, Feb. 8 UPM—Clyde Beatty, youthful animal trainer, is ready to pit his nerve and know- ledge against a cage of 32 jungle animals for the entertalnment of circus audiences. Folk of the big top at this winter circus city say never before has a teainer controlled so many per- torming animals in a cage. They call it dangerous, and mean it. The 23-year-old Beatty, with jagged ridges of the jungle claw across his body, know thers always is danger in the exhibition cage— the more animals the greater danger. Throughout the winter he has worked with his animals at the Circus City zoological gardens, winter home of several circuses. “Nero” Is Viclous Among his animals is “Nero,” ever watchful for an opportunity to spring at the smiling young man, waving 2 whip and pistol. Twice, at Shreveport, La. last year and Texarkana, Ark. two years ago. “Nero” bowled Beatty over, and; twice “Babs,” a lioness, j trom her pedestal and drove * away. In 1924 a black Javanese panther slashed the trainer before | attendants could prod it away. “Watch the animals closely, par- ticularly the ones you know to be bad; never reveal a trace of nerv- ousness or panic, and keep the an mals thoroughly subjugated,” is| Beatty's formula for longevity for animal trainers, There also are lesser advices, such as fairness with the anima thorough knowledge of their habit | and physical condition and alert | . attendants outside the cage. | Nerve Is Chief Asset | Posibly the best asset of an en- imal trainer is steady nerves, said Beatty, who never had been a wild | animal untit he followed a circus | wway from Chillicothe, Ohio, seven | years ago. * “One night while I was doing my act the lights weat off for a few seconds,” he related. “Had T shown a trace of nervousness the animals would have become panic stricken and that would have been the last of me. I snapped my whip and| called the commands in the usual | manner and the lions and tigers maneuvered in the dark. T can tell you my heart stopped beating.” Beatty left school to become an " 13-4 to said Randolph F. Hall and animal endant at 16. He first an act of 16 lions. At 31 he was working 19 lions. Next year he added two tigers and this yoar in- creased his act to 32 animala, The act’s debut was before an automobile company convention in Detroit. The “king of beasts” is mnot by far the most undesirable of cage companions, said the trainer. Ti- gers are less dependable, and the lesser cat species more treacherous than the tiger. Bears sometimes are crafty and ferocious when aroused. Patents Issued to Connecticut People | s List of patents complled weekly from the official Gasette by the office of Harold G.

Two warrants. drawn in 1894, were presented to Herbert Fairall, state treasurer, by a Providence, R. L, brokerage firm. They were valid claima, and in order to pay principal and interest promptly, the treasurer had to issue a special bond. One warrant for $150 was origi- nally made in favor of J. A. Sewall, to compensate him for 15 days' work as a chemist for the state dairy commissioner. Interest on this warrant amounted to $144. The other warrant was for $66.75 and it drew $64.07 interest.
