THE STAR TRICKS OF HINDOO CON JURERS MADE EASY. The Mango Trick Explained by Kellar, the Magician It Is the Sam. Which Globe Trotter Stevens Claims Is Mlraoulmuly Performed by Yogi Men. The sleight of hand performance of Mr. Muskelyne, a remarkably clever juggler, have excited a great deal of in terest in London. Not only are his tricks skillfully done, but his explana tions of other tricks have attracted much attention among a class of men who seldom visit the halle where feats of this sort are presented. The Mail and Express recently pub lished an article from the London Spec tator in which the writer describee one or two tricks which he saw in India and whitth mystified him greatly. Here is one, which, by the way, is described by Thomas .Stevens, the globe trotter, who says that the Yogi men, who per form it, are aided by an occult force that the world is as yet ignbrant of. • A juggler placed a cloth over the pave ment of the street, and presently he removed it, and there was a mango growing between the stones. ‘ ‘The jug gler, ” adds the writer, “one of the he reditary caste, did undoubtedly make a leaf spring out of the ground? did make it grew into a dwarf mango, and did hand the mango from ft to be eaten. It looked wonderful because of the appar ent simplicity of the juggler, but he per formed his'feat in four processes, and between each he shook out his chudder, or muslin wrapper, so that it passed for an instant between the spectators and the plant. The writer had no doufct then and has no doubt now that this was done not to conceal anything, but to distract attention momentarily; that the first leaf, the upgrowth of leaves, the dwarf mango and the mango on it were all of wax or other carelully made imitation, and that the whole miracle was marvelously rapid sleight cf hand. ” To Americans who arc interested in this sort of tiling this mystery is almost amusing. It was exposed several years ago by Kellar, the prestidigitateur. Four or five years ago Kellar publicly offered 11,000 to anyone who would perform a trick which ho could not duplicate and 1 which he could not prove to be done by wholly human aids. A number of per sons who had recently visited India im mediately deluged him with descrip tions of this and other specimens of oriental jugglery. Os course as they could not perform the trick themselves they did not compete for his money offer, and therefore they were not publicly answered. Kellar, however, gave me personally ' a full explanation not only of these ; tricks, |>ut of several others which have I long baffled the cleverest of the occi ■ dental investigators. The magician has I spent more than 15 years of his proses ! sioual life in India and the far east, and ' he has closely studied the tricks of the I native jugglers with more or less profit to himself. This is how he explained the mango or pineapple trick 'as nearly as I can recall it: “The first time I saw the mango trick,” said he, “was in Bombay in 1879 or thereabouts, and the man who did it was the most skillful conjurer 1 ever saw in India. Even after I had learned the secret of his illusion I could not help admiring its ingenuity and the dexterity with which it was performed. The juggler and his twocomrades chose a spot before the Prince of Wales’ stat ue on the plaza. He first laid down a bag on the hard ground and then drew from it a large bandanna handkerchief. Digging a small hole in the ground with one finger, he buried a pineapple seed, and over this he placed his hand kerchief. He carefully smoothed out the cloth, rubbing swiftly from left to right After this maneuver was ended he made several passes with his arms over the handkerchief, while his com rades beat industriously upon their drums and blew upon their pipes. “Suddenly, to my surprise, I saw the handkerchief begin to slowly rVe in the center and gently sway from aide to side as though a plant were really sprouting to life from the seed which he had planted beneath the cloth. When the handkerchief had risen like 3 tent to a height of about 12 inches, the conjurer stopped his incantations and cautiously lifted up the left hand corner o< the cover and peered beneath it Then, plunging both hands underneath to the accompaniment of loud and discordant music, he threw aside the cloth and showed a full grown pineapple plant. “This is the way he did the trick, as he afterward admitted to me: “In smoothing out the cloth he reach ed into the bag, the mouth of which was conveniently placed near the hand kerchief, and whisked out a hooded co bra snake. The moment the /entile was laid down it began to coil. That made the handkerchief rise. When it had reached its full height, its angry hiss ing meanwhile being drowned by the music of the assistants, the performer looked under the cloth, taking care to draw the corner close to the mouth of the bag. Then he adroitly whisked ont a hollow pineapple from the bag under neath the cloth. It was now the work of a minute only to force the snake into the apple, close the aperture, and the trick was done.

Where They Are Located and the FomdbJe Danger to Them. Every one interested in mission work in eastern Asia will watch with concern the war which has just broken out, anxious lest any personal friends bo in danger and mission enterprises be seri ously hampered. The fact that all three countries involved are mission fields and that the prominent cities of all are occupied with a greater or loss force of missionaries makes it necessary to look at the situation fairly and candidly. In Korea the Presbyterian board oc copies Seoul, Fusan and Gensan on tho fast coast and Pyeng-Yang in the in terior. Os those Fusan and Gensan are the only places liable to injury from the Japanese fleet. But the work in both places is comparatively recent and not so well established as at Seoul. The Methodist board has little established work outside of Seoul and has with drawn all its missionaries from tho in terior stations to tliat city. The Society For the Propagation of the Gospel, Church of England, has some missionaries at Seoul and Che mulpo. In Seoul the missionaries are practically safe, being under the care of the United States legation and the . protection of United States soldiers from the ship-of-war at Chemulpo, the port of Seoul. So far as Korea is con- i cerned, therefore, there need be no great anxiety. In Japan the principal port that may fear attack from the Chinese fleet is Nagasaki, occupied by the Reformed (Dutch) church, the Methodist Episco pal church and the Church Missionary society of England. It is probable, how ever, according to the latest reports, that the foreign fleets will protect this city, and thus the missionaries there need fear no attack. The same may be said of Yokohama and Tokyo, where al most all of the missionary boards are represented. Attention will be especially attracted to China, for there, aside from the dan- I ger of injury from the Japanese fleets, j there is the still greater danger of inju- I ry from the hostility of the people. The action of the foreign governments in enforcing the neutrality of the ports of Amoy, . Canton, Ningpo, Chin-Kiang, Fuchau, Shanghai, Hankow and Tien tsin, all of which are mission stations, relieves the situation very much, as there are very few other cities along the coast that might suffer from an attack, almost the only one of importance be ing Chefu, where the Presbyterian church and the China Inland mission have a large force of laborers and con siderable property. The greatest danger, however, to the missionaries, as we have said, is not ■ from the Japanese fleets, but from the hostility of the Chinese to all foreigners i without drawing distinction between ; Europeans and Americans on the one hand and the hated Japanese.—lnde pendent. A MYSTERIOUS PROJECTILE. At a Recent Te ‘ In I'ns«sa Tt Produced Amaxeiueot Among the Experts. The so called magnetic shell, which i has been used at the trials of English I armor plates at Okhta, near St. Peters burg, has made an extraordinary record, j The shell was fired at soft St. Chamond plate at right angles, and the penetration waslO’o inches. Another shell penetrat ed 16 inches. One shell was discharged at a 6 inch Harveyized plate at an an gle of 20 degrees. The projectile passed through the plate and backing and fell about 400 yards beyond, a performance which filled the scientific experts pres ent with amazement. Further trials will be made, but for the present no plates of the requisite strength are forthcoming, those already used, which were manufactured special ly for the purposes of the trial, being so shattered as to be useless for future tests. The general impression among military experts is that the magnetic shell is not a new shell at ail, but sim ply a new invention adaptable to any mo.lain projectile. One of the shells that had undergone the secret process was exhibited. Al though it had passed through one of the armor plates, it was in an undamaged condition, and as it showed no traces of fastening whereby the new invention could be attached to it the spectators concluded that the improvement must be a cap of softer metal held on to the top of the shell by magnetism. This nurses the hard point of the shell at the impact Mid so helps it to penetrate the surface of the plato until it reaches the softer metal behind. This, at all events, is one of the guesses at the prin ciple of theviovel projectile.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Sags and Gould Are Out. Russell Sage and George Gould are said to have disagreed of late, and their relations in a business way are so severe ly strained that there may bo an open rupture at any moment. The Gould and Sage interests have always been closely united. George Gould’s wife and his sister Helen, seconded by the family physician, have, so runs the story, induced him to give up working as hard as he has been doing and to take life easier. The purchase of the Vigilant was in furtherance of this plan. Sage, whose whole being is wrap ped up in money making, has no sym pathy with this programme and is much displeased at young Gould’s long ab sence in the present critical condition of business affairs.—Washington Post.

BESANT’S PATHETIC STORY OF “PAUL THE WANDERER.” The Quiet Dignity of u Mau Who Wimi Liv ing For Poaterity—A Pretty Little Skit Written In the Kngilxh Nowliat'a Inimi table Style, I knew him for several years before his death. Wheu 1 firat made his ao- , quaiutance, lie was already an old man. He was also, as was evident from the first, a very poor man. He went about Shabbily dressed. He carried biscuits in his pocket to the reading room on , which he lunched or took snacks at in- ' tervals during the day. Perhaps be had i dinner afterward, but I always auspect ed his dinner to be an uncertain and a movable feast It was understood tliat he was something in the literary way. | I got to know him by sitting next to him day after day. We exchanged the amenities of the reading room, apolo- . gized for crowding each other with > books, abused the talkure, vcmarked on the impudence of those who go to the ■ room in order to flirt and so forth. Wheu I got to know him better, 1 , made little discoveries about him, as, ; for instance, that he liked a glass of beer in the middle of the day and that he oould not afford the twopence. I may say, not boastfully, that I was able to offer him this little luxury. We used to go out together for the purpose. He j was good enough to take an interest in I my work. He proved to have a consider able knowledge of books and gave me considerable help in this way. One Sunday 1 met him in the street. ' We stopped to speak. Ho lamented the closing of the museum on Sunday. For his own part, he said, he would have the reading room open every day in the week. Why close the avenues of kuowl- , edge? Why damn the fountains and' springs of wisdom? So we walked and talked. He was perfectly dignified in his manner, though his great coat was so thin and shabby that one might be ashamed to be seen with him. He stop ped presently at the dour of a house in High street, Holborn. “I lodge here,” he said. "Will you come up stairs and see my hermitage?” I remember that he called it grandly his hermitage. Ho led the way; the stairs were dark and dirty; he took me to the filth, or fifty-fifth, floor. He liv ed in the back attic. “This, ” he said, “is the cell of the recluse. I live here quite retired. There are other lodgers, I believe, but 1 do not know them. I live here with my library in simplicity. The air is whole some at this height. ” ' He threw open the window and sniff ed the fragrance of the neighboring chimneys. The room was clean; the furniture was scanty; there was no fire in the grate; on a shelf wore about 25 books—his library. The man looked per fectly contented with his hermitage. There were no papers on the table, nothing to show that he was a writer. 1 do not know how he lived—certain ly he did no work at the museum—but he never borrowed. In one corner stood a woo-Ten chest. He lifted the lid and nodded and laughed. “Aha!” he said, “now 1 am going to reveal a secret. You didn’t know, no body at the museum knows, the people in the house don’t know, that 1 am— what do you think? —a poet. It is 30 years since I paid for the publication of my collected poetical works. Yes, sir, and I am going not only to commu ni:'.,te tills secret to your honor—in safe keeping—but to present you with a copy. There, my young friend!” He pro-, duced a thin volume. “I am Paul the Wanderer.” In fact, the title page bore the legend, “Collected Poetical Work of Paul the Wanderer. ” “Thirty years,” he repeated. "There were 500 copies. The press received 50, the public bought four; there remained 446. I have now given you one. There now remain 443. I have bequeathed these to the public libraries of the na tion. Sir, you are young. You will yourself perhaps publish your poems. Remember for your comfort that it hikes 50 years, or two generations, for the noblest poets to take their proper place. Greatness —true, stable, solid greatness, not the empty applause given to an ephemeral favorite—re quires 50 years at least Go, sir! Take the lxx>k I have given you, and in after years, when I am gone, tell the world that you knew—Paul tl»e W’auderer!" I wrung his hand in silence and left him. More than 50 years have passed since he published that work. No one has yet spoken to me of Paul the NVan derer. But I now understood his digni ty, his self respect and his content He was anticipating and enjoying bis fu ture fame. He was living for posterity. Present poverty and neglect were noth ing.—Walter Besant in London Queen. Another Mammoth Statue. The sculptor Nikolaus Geiger is put ting the last touches to his statue of Barbarossa, which is to symbolize the ancient kingdom in tire Kyffhauser monument, to be unveiled in 1896. The Barbarossa appears at the end of a ves tibule in the style of an ancient castle, on the steps of the throne upon which he is sitting like the sleeping figures of the courtiers, with fabulous animals of the old mythic world. Barbarossa is rep resented at the moment of waking from his long sleep. In his right hand is his sword; his left hand strokes his long waving beard. Contrary to all other figures of the old hero, he is here repre sented as an actual emperor, with the features of a noble man. The whole monument, hewed from the rock, will be about 80 feet high. The figure of the seated monarch is about 30 feet high. —Loudon Sun.

The annual disclosure of the latest discoveries in various branches of science ; being made at the convention of the British association, Oxford, is an inter esting budget. Lord Salisbury's address at the opening of the conference at tracts widespread attention. He pro i claimed himself a scientific agnostic, but the most remarkable feature of his . paper was his outlining of the marvels of unsolved problems to which modern science is now devoting itself. He paid a sympathetic tribute to Darwin's great work, but refused to acknowledge the jellyfish as his ancestor on any evidence yet offered. He attacked Weissmann’s theory of natural selection in evolution and affirmed that the present day has brought a return to the belief thatcrea j tive design was supreme. I It has been in these meetings of the several divisions of the convention that the latest discoveries and theories have been presented. A year ago the biolo i gists, who had believed for years that ■ they wore on the point of solving the i mystery of life, acknowledged them selves baffled. Now Professor Schaefer, l president of the section of physiology, announces the discovery in each tiny animal cell containing life of what he terms “an attraction particle. ” It should be remembered that when the biologists discovered the cell principle of life they thought it impossible to. subdivide tliese < infinitely small atoms, but the mioro i scope has shown the existence of this small particle hi each cell, which is itself a structure sui goneris, having a definite existence and a definite function 'of its own. It is almost as minute an object as it is possible to conceive. In a cell which is magnified 1,000 diame ters the central particle appears merely of the size of a pin point. Yet this al | most infinitely small object exerts an extraordinary influence over thcwhole cell, which may be many thousand times' its size. It initiates ami directs those processes which result in the inultipliq , cation of cells, and indirectly thefefqro 1 it is concerned in directing the general growth of the individual and uttimate ;ly the propagation of species. It is shown, then, that the principle of life is contained in a particle 1,000 times smaller than the smallest object which the best microscopes of a few years ago were able to perceive, and tho latest name for the unsolved mystery of life is “an attraction parti ole, ’’—New York Bun’s Loudon Letter. WONDERFUL GOLD DISCOVERIES. Western Australia Stories Which Rend Like Fairy Talee. The stories of wonderful gold discov , eries in western Australia were con , firmed by an official dispatch Thursday. The details of the principal fiiid near Coolgardie had already reached Lon don. A party of six wero returning from I an unsuccessful prospecting •tou-’r on May )8. When in camp one night, they sep- I arated to test anjl examine tho nt igh ! borhbod. A man nained Mills came to one of the many large “blows” Which are characteristic of the'country. He was astonished on. rubbing liis hand j across a protruding pit re ‘of sftfAu to see gold standing out proi'nini atly. He J knocked a large piece off a bowlder, and 1 at his feet lay a magnificent specimen j literally studded W*i th editse gold,’ while I before him, dazzling his eyes, yas a ! magnificent reef of almost pure guhl, a i fortune in itself. Mills, taking several pieces from the reef, placed them in his bosom, and carefully covering the reef with earth found his mates. On the next morning 25 acres were pegged off, and the adjoining blocks at each end were also taken up. , One man went to town and bought a dolly, the largest he could procure. In one day they dollied 1,000 ounces, and in a short time had nearly SIOO,OOO worth of ore. On Juno 23 they packed it in a cart and landed the treasure at the Union bank. Tho manager weighed tho gold, and it turn ed the scales at 4,280 ounces. A few days after the discovery be came public. One lump has been taken from the reef containing more gold than ora It weighed 240 po«m.s and is worth $20,000.
