THE SALMON.
How the Salmon is Enabled to Jump wa
terfalis.


Prof. A. Landmark, Chief Director
of the Norwegian Fisheries, has pub
lished some interesting particulars of
his studies of the capablity of the sal
mon to Jump waterfalls He is of the
opinion that the jump depends as much
on the height of the fall as on the cur
rents below it. If there be a deep pool
right under the fall, where the water
is comparatively quiet, a salmon may
jump sixteen feet perpendicularly, but
such jumps are rare, and he can only
state with certainty that it has taken
place at the Hellefos, in the DRAINS
River, at Haugsend, where two great
masts have been placed across the
river for the study OF the habits of the
salmon, so that exact measurements
may be effected. The height of the
water in the river, Of course, varies,
but it is, rs a rule, when the salmon is
running up stream. sixteen feet below
these masts. The distance between the
two is three and one-half feet, and the
Professor states that he has seen
salmon jump from the river below
across both masts As another ex-
ample of high jumping, he mentions
some instances of Carraunk waterfall,
kCumbec, in North America, where
Jumps Of twelve feet have been re-
corded Pvof. Landmark further states
tIaJ whoa salmon jumps fall nearly
perpendicular in shape it is sometimes
able To remain in t1e fall, even if the

How the Great Robert Houdin Once Saved

THE EGG DANCE.

One of the Amuscments of the Bhopal
Girls in East India.
A traveller gives us a pretty descrip-
ton of the graceful egg dance which
was performed for his amusement in
the Court of Bhopal, India. 1t shows
us that our sword dancers and our
Young ladies of the ballet are not quite
up to the standard of the Bhopal girl.
He tells us that a slender girl, arrayed
in an embroidered bodice and short
skirts like those worn by the peasant
women in this part of India, came for
ward, very fascinatingly to him, with
wreathed smiles and dainty steps, and
also insteps that were very neatly
modelled. 'She seemed to me as If she
wanted me to buy her basket of eggs
along with herself and that the eggs
were real eggs. She did not dance on
them, however She wore on her head
a large wheel of wickerwork, and
around this and equal distances were
placed threads with slip knots at the
ends, in each knot a glass bead to keep
it from closing.

Jerking movement, rather monotonous,
and the dancer spins around in time
with the measure, which grows faster
and faster. As she turns she seizes an egg
from the basket, which is held on her
left arm, and rapidly inserts it in one
of the knots. Her circular motion
causes the thread to stretch out like
the spoke of a wheel She keeps on
doing this till every knot has its egg
and her head is surrounded by a sort
of aureole. When she has succeeded
in placing all the eggs she spins around
so fast that her features can hardly be
seen. A false step and Humpty Dump
ty would have n fall indeed She has
now the most dainty aud difficult part
of her dance to execute, for the dance
is not done till every egg is taken from
its thread and laid safely back in the
empty basket One by one the Indian
girl accomplishes this, never crushing

When all are restored she stops her
