somewhat remarkable. and the effect
produced on prowling CANNES very
peculiar. \ space on the floor is damp

ligh, connected with the spot, in the
center of which is Il piece of meat with
the other wire attached To it. A dog
entering the establishment is naturally
attracted by the meat and approaches
il, having TO stand on the moist space.
The moment he touches thu meat the
circuit is made and the ln,.uo,- is
thrown some distance 10y the shocn.
The other night an Irish bulldog made
four attacks on the meat, and had, after
Il severe shaking, 10 relinquish his grip

There was quite sensation at the
Paris Varieties recently, when Mile. Iora,
the prize beauty from Buda-Pesth, made
her debut. When the young lady ap-
peared and raised her veil there was an
animated discussion among the audience
as to her claim for good looks. The
majority, however, gave their verdict in
her favor. As to the beauty herself, it
appears that she does not know word
of French. and the short part that the
authors had written for her had to be
cut down to the interrogation, lou,

for the dcbutante 10 master correctly,
for, TO the horror of the stage manager,
