Coniurer and Juggter.

Out of the SATURDAY Repfeg Nh this
as to the difference between & conjurer and
juggler: 1.-THE gentleman in a dress-lat,
and with a foreign accent, who borrowed
your watch and your friends's hat, and who
'vanishes' the former and makes an ONE
lette@ in the latter. and then revealssto yon
that the watch is in the omelette-the gen
tleman who accomplishes this marvel is q
c~onjurer, a magician. an adept in the art Of
white magic. The performer who spins a
plate on the end of a stick in his left hand
while he is keeping three balls in the air
with his right hand-this performer is a
Juggler. Tire eonjurer does that which
seems impossible and leaves you ii Won
der as to the means whereby he deceived
you. The juggler does that which seems
difficult, but you are never in doubt As to
the way in which it was done, for there is
nothing hidden. and the feat explains il
self. In short, the coniures deceives you
and the iuggler does not: this is the sist of
the matter. and We may 90 further and say
that if the ~juegler uses q 'fake'-a secret
device for assisting his szil-he has taken
an illegitimate advantage

rather quite early-in the morning.

A Freak OF Nature.

The first morning We sighted the little
island Mountain Of Lecko, whose stony
outlines are those Of g~iantess turned to
stone, and miles beyond we came to the
Island Of Torglaetta, which is the most
wonderful freak Of nature along the Nor
wegian coast. We saw it from from afar
Is Il giants hat floating on the water, a
huge croWn and brim Of bare granite, the
brim rising we'll above the water, and the
crown more than 500 feet high, pierced
nearly at the top With a hole thai runs
through the granite crown like a tunnel
Sailing toward it on the placid blue Wa
ter the eye came ia line with the tunnel
and We saw straight through it to the sky
beyond This window through the noun
tain WAS reached by long climb from
the other side, and when we reached the
opening in the mountain there was a
view through it as through a telescope Of
the sea With a score Of islets beyond. The
sides of the tunnel are as square and true
is If they had been blasted out by a mi
ner, and beginning with q height OF 62
feet the floor drops until at the lower end
the yaulted passage is over 200 feet in
height. The work torghatta means a
market hat" such as is worn by the
peasants now, and in the age of legends
was worn by the bad brother of the gi-
antess of Lecko. The brother had inter
copied the messengers from the g;antess'
lover, Hestmand, and kept the pair apart
for SO long a time that the lover, finally
enraged, shot an arrow at the brother
while he was in bathing n day and
pierced hat and skull both. The arrows
flight was something like 100 miles from
Hestmand's bow to the foot Of the giant
ess, where it finally fell, and she, seeing
the Hight through the aperture in her
brothers hat, turned him and Hesmand
and herself all to stone in her despair.
The trio are now chief objects Of interest
lift their hats in mock reverence to the
giantess as they pass by, and the tourist
fiutters the leaves Of his red guide-book
and putting his finger on the page. recites
the tradition and measurements to the
nearest ear. The tourist steamers always
stop to land passengers who want to climb
up to the tunnel, and the women and
children from the ~neighboring farms go
with pitchers Of milk to sell to the breath
less climbers on the way.-NoJpag Letter

be procured without seriously delaying
the work, and if the superintendent IS
found to be accessible to such represen-
%tations, his credulity is sure to be tested
on many other points. The only way III
which young architects can escape being
occasionally made victims OF such prac-
tice, is for them to make up their minds
what is right by the best light they can,
and insist upon their directions being fol
lowed. With a little thought and assld-
uous study of other buildings in process
of construction, it need rarely happen
that tneir orders will be unreasonable,
and a firm stand on such occasions as
arise in the early stages of the work will
not only make their subsequent duty
lighter and pleasanter, bnt will often
save them ultimate discredit and regret.
