FEATs OF SLAMEsE JUGGLERS.

The Siamese jugglers are superior to their
brethren OF the craft in India, judging from the
following story, which is vouched for as au-
thentic: One trick which Minhman performed
was a very suparior version of the msngo-tree
feat of the Indian jugglers. He took an orange,
cut it open and produced a serpent. This he
took down into the audience, and borrowing o
robe from one cut the snakes head of and
covered it with the robe. When the robe was
lifted again fox was, in place of the snake.
The fox's head was cut of, two robes borrowed,
when they were raised there was q wolf, which
was killed with sword. Three robes and a
leopard appeared; It was slain with javelin.
Four robes covered most savage looking buff
falo, that was killed with an ak. Five robes
covered in part, but not altogether, q lordly
elephant, ,.who, when the sword was pointed at
him, seized Minhman by the neck and tossed
him violently up. He mounted feet foremost,
and finally chung by his toes to the capital Of
one of the columns. Tepada now leaped from
the stage and alighted upon the. elephants
shoulders. With short sword he goaded the
beast on the head until, shrinking, the un-
wieldy animal reared upon its hind feet, twined
his trunk about one of the columns, and seemed
trying to lift itself from the ground and wrap its
body around the great pillar. The music
clashed out barbarously. Norodom faLhed
forth G dazzling firework Of some sort, and the
elephant had disappeared, and Tepada lay upon
the stage writhing in the folds of great boa
constructor, and holding up Minhman upon his
feet

Iacerated sensibilities. II he finds relief and

BILL has passed the Massachusetts, LeeisIa-
ture providing for separate prison for women.
This is the frst step in reform the necessity for
which must be seen to be understood. MANY Re.
males arrested for petty offences (such IS assault,
not involving moral degradation are helped "a
ruin by their associations in prison. It may be
only the temporary prison Of pelice CELL but che
influences are the same. The see ne witnessed a,
police station when female, respectable or dis
reputable, is brought in, is revolving to every
feeling Of decency. The search by an oficer and
tie confinement amid drunkards bowling slang
and profanity, must deprive the woman Of any
selfrespect which may have had; and when self
respect is gone from men or women they are lost
Women should not only be in separate prisons
but when arrested they should not be searched
except BY women. 1900.

DEPTH OF LAKE CHAPLAIN

The United States coast survey of that portion
Of Lake Champlain lying between Burlington
Harbor and Houses Point is now completed The
results Of this work are embodied in three elegant
Autographed charts, q set of which has recently
been forwarded to the trustees of the Pittsburgh
Academy. One ofthe most striking-and TO the
citizens Of Plattsburgh Observation-Disclosures Of
this survey is the determining of the depth Of
water in Cumberland bay. Inside of line drawn
from the point Of Cumberland Head to Crab Is
land, and thence direct to the main land, the
greatest depth is less than sixty feet and at no
point for two miles south Of Plattsburgh dock is q
greater depth than twenty feet found, at q dis
lance Of eighty rods from the shore.
Fhe greatest depth between the dock and break
water is thirteen feet in the vicinity of the Cakes
Ames slip It is nine feet, while inside line drawn
from that point across TO the Nichols place the
"Point, |" the depth Is only from one and half to
three feet. Dredgings around the margin OF the
by reveal the fact that there are immense de-
posits Of sawdust mixed with fine white sand, and
this is undoubtedly the main cause of the gradual
reduction in the depth of the water which We
know is constantly going on. Very near the east
shore Of Cumberland head the depth Of water In
cresses abruptly, showing a deep channel between
the main land and South Hero-the deepest
soundings being one hundred and ninety-three
feet about midway and on line from "Wilcox
cove" on the island to "Gravelly point" on the
main land while in direct line from the Cumber-
land Head lighthouse to Gordon's dock the depth
for four hfths Of this distance is one hundred and
sxty-two feet.
From the south end Of Isle La Motto to Rouses
point, the deepest place is slxty-seVen feet, be-
tween Horseshoe Shag" and east side of Isle
La Motto, and the greatest depth between SCAT
fish point" and Fort Montgomery is twenty
three feet-just north of the railroad bridge and
o short distance east Of Old Rouse's point -
about one-fourth OF the distance across. The
deepest soundings in the Broad Lake" seems to
be three hundred and thirty-three feet ct several
points opposite Burlington and near Colchester
reef, Just south Of the lighthouse. OF Trem-
blesu point the water sinks abruptly to depth
Of from hfty-fve to one hundred and twenty-five
feet, and very near Port Kent dock depth Of
over one hundred feet was found. The shallowest
sounding near the southwest point Of Valeour
island is given as thirty-four feet. 1t was in this
vicinity that the Royal Savage" was sunk
almost century, ago, and the impression has
prevailed that the water here was much shall
lower. The charts smbOdy great amount Of
useful Information. @
