Of course there were men whose duties were to see to these things for the performers, but Joe took no chances he supervised everything himself very carefully, as did Tonzo and Sid Lascalla. For when one's life depends on the strength of a wooden bar or on the firmness of a rope, it behooves one to look well to the apparatus.

In 1879, Professor Graham Bell, the inventor of the speaking telephone, and Mr Summer Tamter, brought out an ingenious apparatus called the photophone, by which music and speech were sent along a beam of light for several hundred yards.
In the other rooms are all sorts of apparatus for trying experiments in the various branches of that department of science, over which Mons. C so ably presides. The merit of Mons.
