THRILLS IN A BARREL
Persons who would like to know how it. feels to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel without actually making the trip can enjoy some of tiie sensations by taking a ride in an ,amusement device at Venice, California. The main attraction is a giant barrel, forty feet tall, made of coloured glass with water beneath it, which is seen through the glass. Eight persons sit in a car, the seals of which turn upside down inside the barrel, while the barrel itself turns over in the opposite direction. Most riders emerge from the experience with enough thrills to last at least for th« day*
