FIRE EATERS' TRICKS

HOW THE SALAMBOS PERFORM THEIR WONDERFUL FEATS.

Very Eur After Ton Know lh« W«jr It I* Done—The Month itntl Skin Are Proteeted by Solution of Sulphur sad

Alam--Crw Generated from f»**olliie.

Among the various methods of earning your bread by the fcweot of your brow, fire eating is one that would seem but few people would adopt a means of livelihood- But for years and years people with cast iron palates and brazen plated lips and tongues have exhibited thtfir peculiar abilities for a stipend. At the present time in this country there area half dozen men and women who go about from dime mttsenm to variety hall and from variety Iiall to a "store show" and astonish the natives. All these people do seemingly the most wonderful things, awl as she business is difficult to learn their numbers are limited.

The present eon** fiery entertainers have, however, been lately augmented by a brother ami tister, whose ability in that line putm vt*ry h»jtfin the shade ever seen hcr«\ TiK-y ate l.nown on the bills as Earlc anil 01 He Bnhtmlw. and are further tligniik-'i for show purjx^eH iw the "Human Electrical Dynatneters."

HOW THIS THICKS ARB DOKE. It was only fcUtuly practice and constant coating of their mouths and hands and Mlcn of their 1'ret with a solution, tin1 this busine.HH WHS comparatively easy and tlicy really did not KWAIIOW anything ut all. Each performer lwut lib own recipe for the solution ho drinka and rinwrt hi* mouth and bands with, but the principal ingredient* of it in each ease remain the same. When iiu« mouth i.s rinsed out in timt it for: .. wort of an artificial nkin or film thr.t it takes little while to destroy, and an long as that coating remains there in absolutely no danger, and the re«t of their wonderful trick/* are nothing but a delusion and in most cases hleight of hand.

There is ono performer who is known in museum circles as fche "Human Lump," and ho make* lots of money by doing thi.s act. He drinks nome kerosene oil in view of the audience, puts a wick iu his mouth, lights the wick with a match, put.* a lamp chimney over the flame nud burn* merrily away. On his stand in a lamp half filled with oil. From the can ho potmi what purports to be oil in the Inmp. It is not. It ifl water, and, of course, the oil already in the lamp floats on top of the water then he lights the oil to prove what he poured out wan oil. He gravely drinks from the oil can, pnta a wick saturated with sweet oil in his mouth, lights the wick, and there you are. Very simple, ia it not?

Now there in another gentleman who walks on 1 hot bars, and seising horse shoe

heated

red hoi in a forge near

by bites the boated endx off and pretends to swallow them. He is not so much of a trickster as the "Human Lamp," and really earn* all the money

gets, for although his bare feet are ooated with a sulphuric solution and his mouth and lips well plastered with tho same, it is real hard work to bite pieces of iron in halves, even if the heat makes them soft and pliable, and if they aro kept in the mouth too long, in spite of the film, they are very hot and uncomfortable indeed. This gentleman call* himself St. £Imo, and another part of his performance is to take oakum balls, saturated with biasing pitch, in his mouth, a half doicen in succession.

TUK HUMAJ* OAS WK1.L.

And that trick gets more applause than the biting of the horseshoe, but it is very easy of accomplishment, because the minute you put fire in a placn where there is uo air it immediately goee out, and *o the instant

.St.

Elmo closes his

mouth tho fire is quenched in the Waiting ball, and ail there is about it is the disagreeable taste of

the

oakum ball

and a little warmth, which may not be pleasant, but can be lorne for $SQ a week.

Another trick of the fire enters is to takv a pirn? of cotton and put it in their mouths, and then open their mouths and blow smoke and streams fire out Every child, or almost every child, knows that if yon put a spark in the water of a ball of cotton and blow through ttjthe lire will eat all the r**tit«-r out, leaving the mere shell.

There is a companion performer to the "Human kamp." known »mnetiuK«$ as "Natural Gas/' or the "Human Gas Well." He gets more money than tho man who drinks water for oil, ami deserves to. What he does is precisely the 1wm of all the work done by the Salamlnm. Instead ot eating cotton ami pitch and wax when heated, he coats his month with his own private &>lntioa and unseen stoops down and picks up a um»S worsted hall iyUttraU\l with gasoline Xow. gasoline is very volatile, and when mixed with air form* a vapor that is easily ignited and giv«» a very fierce and bine flame.

GREAT GRANITE GORGE.

A. Vivid Picture of the Scenery Alms the Baaki of the Colorado. The great Granite Gorge is about forty miles in length. That portion from its head to the Bright Angel exee!i, some fifteen miles, is narrow, dark and gloomy. It stands at the upper gateway of the great canyon as if by its very frown to keep back the intruder, and guard from vulgar eyes cad sordid greed the grandeur, the beauty and hidden treasure of tho lower canyon. At the Bright Angel creek ^vc-rthing changes —the granite slopes are flatter, they are of a softer black granite, cut into sharp pinnacles and crags, and seem more as if formed of very coarsely stratified slate.

The canyon grows more and more picturesque and beautiful the farther we proceed. The granite has lost its awful ahd threatening look, and slopes back in beautiful hillsides of variegated black, gray and green.

At the side canyons, and from the bends of tho river, the upper portions of the whole gorge are brought into view, showing the great marble and sandstone cliffs, benched back far away from the river, while mountains jut in close between the side canyons and #ashee nearly a mile and a quarter in height. As we look down the river, or up a low side canyon, with the placid water between its polished walls of black and gray and green for a foreground, there rise above the dark sandstone, tier upefn tier, bench upon bench, terrace upon terrace, stepping back farther and farther, and higher and higher, and in immensity of height and proportion seeming to tower almost over our heads. First above the dark sandstone come the-ilattened slopes of the lime and mineralized matter, in horizontal layers of yellow, brown, white, red and green.

Then rise sheer walls of stained marble 1,000 feet or more, the lower portions yellow, brown and red, the coloring of red growing brighter as it nears the top. Above this smaller benches of marble, at the top of each a little mesa covered with green bunch grass and bushes, and above these a or more terraces of scarlet and flame colored sandstone, stained on their outer points with black, and the little benches between them relieved by the bright green of the grease wood and bunch grasf. the whole crowned with perhaps a couple of .thousand feet of the lighter gray, yellow iind white sandstone ledges, capped by pinnacles and spires, turrets and domes in every imaginable shape, size and proportion.—R. B. Stanton in Scribner's. .• v.

Niiuie*.

There is a certain amount of satisfac tion perhaps in giving a whimsical name to a pet animal, but such names often require so much explanation that thoy beeome a burden. A Boston lady lately related this little story of her cat "We had a kitten who had a marvelous talent for escaping from all kinds of perils. He was shut up in an oven by a heedless servant and left there "over night, but although it seemed that he must le baked to a crisp, he came out in the mottling none the worse for the fiery ordeal. "He was run over by a railroad train, but crouched close to the ground and escaped injury. He received a charge of bird ahot one day while he was himself hunting birds in the woods, but we picked out as many of the shot as we could, and he began at once to recover and soon was all right again. "Finally he was put into a bag with a stone and thrown into a river, but he managed to find a small hole in one corner of the bag, and enlarged it so that he was able to get out. Then he swam ashore and came home. "In view of these marvelous escapes we decided to keep the cat, and gave him the name of Plutarch, because he had so many lives,"

The name was a happy one, and yet, as the story of Plutarch's adventures had to be told each time his name was men tioned to anew acquaintance, his owners wished at last that they had named him plain Tom or Dick.

Similar explanations were necessary on the part of the man who named his two canaries Wheeler and Wilson, "because neither was a Singer."—Youth's Companion.

In English ware the Doulton ranges in price from $10 for a set of 126 pieces to #135 for one dosen plates. There is a difference in the quality of the ware as well as in the decoration. The cheaper seta, from $ 10 to |80 each, are porcelain the finer and more expensive are china. The porcelain is decorated by stamping or painting the colors on, and little or no gold is u&cd. All the fine English and French chinas show a great deal of dull or burnished gold in the decoration. It wears better than bright gold and has a softer All the gold used for this purpose i* fourteen or sixteen carat, and its cost is a heavy item in the price of the ware.

JThe Mas with a Patent..^-

There were only half a dozen people in the palace car all daylong, and after dinner, when the man who had been sleeping and reading in seat No. 18 came over to me for a chat, I welcomed him with open arms. He said his name was Saunders, and that he had a patent or improvement on some part of a locomotive. He was going through to Cincinnati to have it perfected or adopted or something of the sort. He had been in partnership with a mean man—a man who had tried to swindle him out of r. fortune. To get even he had stolen the patent and run away. Hehaditwith him in a valise. That was all he said just then, but later on he confided to me the fact that at a town about thirty miles away this wicked partner of his might possibly be on hand to board the train and attempt to wrest the treasure from his keeping. He wanted my advice, and I offered to take charge of the valise. He thanked me with great effusiveness, and as we approached the town he shut himself into the smoking compartment.

As the train drew up I saw an old acquaintance on the platform, and while we were talking a posse was hunting the train for my friend. They didn't find him, as he had dropped off and struck out for the country. I went on to Cincinnati, taking his valise along, and although I was there four days he didn't show up. I arranged to leave it with the landlord, and it was carried jfco the office to be opened by a meddlesome clerk.

Instead of a patent it contained wedges, drills, a brace, fuse and other neat little devices for successfully working a burglars job, and it cost me two days of the hardest kind of talk to satisfy the chief of police that I wasn't in it. I had ridden over 100 miles with a full fledged burglar, and one who had made his mark, and I must say he was a better talker and more of a gentleman than any governor I ever met.—New York Sun.

Will a Corpse Bleed?

Formerly there was a popular belief in a widespread superstition that the corpse of a murdered person would bleed afresh from the wounds that had caused death did the murderer touch it or even allow his eyes to rest upon it

The belief is shown to have been universally established in Scotland as late as 1068. In that year one Philip Standsfield was arrested for the murder of a person who had been buried several days. Although the man had lain in the grave almost a fortnight, Sir George Maclcinzie, the crown counsel, caused the body to be exhumed and brought into open court to apply what people thought would be the test of Standsfield's guilt or innocence. The sworn deposition of several witnesses is as follows: "God Almighty himself was pleased to bear a share in the testimonies which we produced. That divine power which makes the blood circulate during life has ofttimes, in all countries, opened a passage for it after death upon such occasions. After the wounds had been sewed up, and the body designedly shaken up and down—and, which is most wonderful, after the body had been buried 'several days, which naturally causes tho blood to congeal—upon Standsfield's touchingitthe blood darted and sprang out, to the great astonishment of the surgeons who were there to wat«h the event. Standsfield, astonished more than they, threw down the body, crying, 'Oh, God! Oh, God!' and, cleaning his hands, grew so faint that the doctors had to give him a cordial."—St. Louis Bepublic.

.• A Practical L»Moa.

One chilly evening the sitting room in which my pupils and I sat was warmed by a grate fire. Shaking out some small live coals, I bade the boys observe which of them turned black soonest. They were quick to see that the smallest did, but they were unable to tell why. They were reminded of the rule they had committed to paper, but to no pnrpoee, until I broke a large glowing coal into a score of fragments which became black almost at once. Thai one of them cried, "Why, smashing that coal gave it more surface!" This young follow was studying the elements of astronomy at school, so I had him give us some account of how the planets differ from one another in sixe,how the moon compares with the earth in mass, and how vastly larger than any of its worlds is the sun.

Explaining to him the theory of the solar system's fiery origin, I shall not soon forget his keen delight—in which the others presently shared—when it burst upon him that because the moon is much smaller than the earth it must be much colder that, indeed, it is like a small cinder compared with a large one. It was easy to advance from this to un derstanding why Jupiter, with eleven times the diameter of the earth, glows faintly in the sky, and then to note that the sun pours out its wealth of heat light because the immensity of its bulk has* comparatively speaking, so little surface to radiate from.—George lies in Popular Science.

A TORPEDO ATTACK AT NIGHT.

A Tlrld Picture of "David" and "Goliath" in Modern Naval Warfare.

The opportunity comes—a dark night and tempestuous. The clouds have covered the stars like a pall, and there ia a howling wind which drowns all other sounds. The pigmy vessel makes ready and puts to sea. It rushes along-as swift as the wind and as silent as a calm. Big waves sometimes sweep over it from end to end as it plunges through the darkness, but they are not heeded. Small as it is, it is stanchlj' built and can stand the strain of storm as well as its adversary. All men save one are snugly shut inside, tending the flying engine and preparing the missile of destruction. This is a strange bolt, shaped like a cigar, over ten feet in length, and the crew place it in the bow tube. The man on deck stands behind a little iron tower which shields him from the shock of the waves, and there he steers the boat.

In the darkness they seek their adversary determinedly, and with deadly purpose, since they are the protectors of their native land. The boat searches for a time in vain, for the big ship has covered all lights and is lying like a sleeping monster upon the waves, awaiting morning to renew the havoc. Perhaps if the ship remained thus the little boat would never find her but "Goliath" becomes uneasy: he fears "David" will make an attack, so he has determined to watch.

A dazzling cone of white light suddenly starts from a point in the darkness and broadens upon the water. Slowly it sweeps about over the sea in circling arcs. All at once the little boat is bathed in a brilliant, blinding glare. The monster's eye finds it! But in finding the enemy the battle ship has disclosed itself, and the dauntless little adversary steams straight forward at utmost speed. Streaks of flame are now shooting from under the white light, while the rattling reports of rifles and machine guns rise sharply above the wind's roar. Shot and small shell are falling about like hail upon the water, but the monster cannot keep the range of the onrushing boat, and the missiles fly wide of the mark.

Suddenly the great ship looms uptall, long, shadowy, overpowering. It is not far off—almost near enough to be attacked. Yet a little closer, and the intrepid pigmy, still unharmed, slows and steadies, with that ominous black tube pointing toward the monster's blazing side. Shots are falling upon the boat, and the man who was steering has taken refuge in his iron tower but inside there is a wheel, and he can steer as well as before, for around him on a level with his eyes are little slits through which he can see. Now seconds are precious if the brave little craft is to escape destruction. The moment has come! A lever is pulled, and from that black tube comes a short, hoarse roar. At once the little boat begins to turn, ready to escape with the speed of the wind.

But before the boat can turn a dull, heavy shock has jarred the sea. A gigantic column of white water rushes upward toward the black clouds. In it the tall masts of the monster ship seem to sway about and clash together. The banging of the guns is sharply succeeded by cries of human terror.

The of water falls back into the sea with a roaring crash and scatters over the waves in great wisps of glistening foam. The wind, sweeping on again, forms new waves over the disturbed water. The monster ship hasdisappeared —the Goliath of the deep is oonqnesed by his pigmy antagonist.—J oho lt» cott in St. ffjohfitoa
