was sitting on the floor playing with some
other children when he was observed to
slowly assume perpendicular position.
and while the other children were watch.

noticed that his feet gradually left the
moor and he began gently to ascend in the
air.
The children screamed. az did the
yOunster making the ascent. and the lat
ter not content with screaming, made the
most frantic attempts to clutch something,

the mother Of the child, hearing the din. |
rushed into the room, and, making . Wild
spring for her son, giving utterance at the |
same time to an ear-splittin9 shriek. suc-
ceeded in clasping him around the vaist.
A loud sound, somewhat resembling the |
slamming of cellar door, was heari. ac-
companied by rushing of wind from the |
mouth Of the boy, who, slipping through
his mothers arms, fell in heap on tie |
