beneath him when they struck the plat
form, and he turned a series of somersaults
down into the gangway, and then up tothe
platform on the other side. As soon as he

them to fall into. The hot weather, accom-
panied by a north wind, which prevailed
last week, killed great numbers. They
showed discrimination in taste as regarded
grapeyines, being very fond of the Muscat
