CATCHING A CANNON BALL

A very singular exhibition Was given
recently, at the Jardin Nabile. There
has been performing there at the Folies
Bergeres. = man named Holt1n. an
American who has aeannen fired nc hun
and catches the ball in his hands. This
prOdigious feat was witnessed nightly.
and although the actors present ayowed
that there was no trick. Pierre Vernon.
Of the Monde ILZzstrg, would not believe
it. He said the cannon ball must be
thrown to HOltum from the stage. The
latter made bet Of 5000 francs that
be would perform the feat under eondi-
tons which left no room to doubt. and
when the BEE was taken. Vernon desig-
mated Mabile As the place for the trial.
All the journalists Of Paris were invited.
and they found Holtum there before his
cannon It was examined with minute
care. and the heavy ball was passed from
hand to hand. Il am no longer in my
own house" said Holtum; You are
master here, and you must watch over
all the arrangements. Having care
fully aimed and lashed his cannon. it
was charged. and HOltum took his place
against plank target some ten yards
away. This was TO show that the ball
WAS solid. and the force Of the powder
great enough to send it through the
place. Holtum got the am Of his gun.
and then placed his head in certain
position against the plank. giving the
command TO fire. The ball Just grazed
the hair aud broke through the plank
rolling some twenty yards further on
The same ball was picked up by the
journalists, who again charged the can
non and sent home the ball. and this
time HOltuu caught the ball in his
hands As neatly as he does nightly upon
the stage He won his bet. and no one
seemed disposed to accept his offer Of
5000 francs to any one who would per-
form the same astounding feat The
