How 1T Is DoSE..--Much curiosity having
been expressed as to how Lulu performs her
Astonishing feat at the Theatre, VIC give our
information is TO the kind Of power by
which she is propelled in her unique and
lofty fight. The small wooden trap upon
which she stands forms the cap Of Il perpcn-
dicular steel bar beneath the stage. This
bar, working somewhat in the style Of the
piston of an engine, is driven upward ut
given signal with terrific force for Il distance
of about three feet, the power used being
simply that of multitude of strong
lndia-rubber bands, which are stretched
one by one 10 their utmost ten
sion. just before tho leap. and which, when
simultaneously released, give Lulu any re-
qulred impetus, this being increased ut will
by adding to the number Of rubber bands.
The tar after being shot up Is forced back,
by IN ingenious spring, SO instantancously
that, unless there is some blmgllnS OH The
part OF the operators, IL is almost Impossible
Tor the spectators to detect its agency. Tue
skill of Lulu. of course, is chiefly shown IN
maintaining her arroW.!ke posture, ana III
gracefully alighting on her dizzy perch.
