Houain.s Gift of "second Sight"


It is almost astonishing to student of
the history of conjuring to find, as he
surely will, that there is hardly trick
of modern performers which does not owe
either its existence or modern development
to Robert Houdin. 1t was only few years
ago that q writer in one Of our leading
monthly magazines, himself conjurer of
some local repute, stated that he had
learned second sight" from Polish Jew,
who had also taught it to Heller, and this
apocryphal Hebrew was made to affirm
that he had 'treamed i'd" much as Mr..
Stevenson tells US he dreams his marvellous
romance5. The fact is that Houdin was
undoubtedly the father Of this clever de-
ception, which, for nearly half century.
has never failed to anuse and bewtlder
audiences ell over the world. II was on
Feb. II, 1916. that the following announce
nent appeared in his programme for the
first time:
In this performance Robert Houdin's
son, who is gifted with marvellous Sec
nnd sight, after his eyes have been covered
by thick bandage, will designate every
object presented him by the audience"
HoudIn was first led to the invention Of
this trick by observing his children at
play ono day The younger had bandaced
his elder brothers eyes and made him
guess tho objects he touched. and when
the latter happened to guess Alright they
changed places. The quick witted French
man, ever on the lookout for novelties to
be added to his entertainment, saw here
the germ Of great discovery. and after
applying himself diligently to working
out the problem. succeeded in laying the
foundation on which Heller and others
subsequently erected more elaborate
structures. Townsend in Phla-

HANGED AND NOT HANGED.
Murderer Who Went Through the

A Murderer Who Went Through the
Process Still Alive.
GlusrsyiLIE, Ga, Jan, 10. For week
rumors have been coming into this city that
Tlllnian O. Justice, barring a slight sore
siees in the neck, was ahve and well in his
mountain home. Yesterday gentleman
arrived from Towns county who gives posi-
tive assurance that the hanging of Justice
was sham; that his body was quickly cut
down and resuscitated, and that dozen
men in Hiamansee conversed with him on
November 10, when he was supposed to
have been hanged.
Justice was an Illicit distiller in Towns
county, who has for neighbor John b.
Goddard, retired lawyer, aged seventy
two. Goddard was suspected OF giving the
revenue officials information concerning
the moonshiners, and for this reason he
was shot dead by Justice. The murderer
was kept in Jail at this city awaiting his
hanging, and when the date arrived was
carried to that county. Towns county is
high up in the mountains, sixty miles
away from the nearest railway station, and
10 cut off so that its existence il not known
10 most people. IL is overrun by moon
sinners, and therefore it woald be an easy
matter for friendly officers to save a friend.
The editor of the Falonega Signal is au-
thority for the statement that Justice was
still breathing when he was cut down.

You must know, first Of all, that the

10 very different from the animal as he
appears in his native Jungle. In the
rircus he is 40 ''cabined, cribbed, con
fined" that he il never able properly to
airetch his muscles, and the roar with
which he greets the keeper who il
bringing his food resembles the roar
with which he awakens the echoes OF
the forest, AS the piping OF a tin
trumpet resembles the screech OF a
steam. whistle. 1t is difficult to describe
tho roar of a tiger when he is angry.

A REMARKABLE CASE.
lFrom the Gate CltY.I

e. S. Ravens, who lives about five
miles southeast Of Memphis, Mo-,
while drinking from a slough about six
years ago, swallowed something he
supposed ut the time to be a small
snake. Matters went along with him
about az common (thOugh occasionally
restless) until about three years ago
he could feel something crawling about
his stomach. At times it would crawl
IN into his chest and he would almost
suffocate for want of breath. He states
that for the past two years he has been
continuously hungry, and could eat at
any time, and was restless during that
entire period, shifting from II foot to
the other when standing. lie suffered
great pain and tried five different ply
sicians without relief. During the
mouth Of March he employed a lady
physician, who administered medicine
10 him for a period of three weeks will
the result that the reptile passed frou
| the emaciated and suffering man. A
correspondent of the Gate City writin!
from Memphis says of this remarkable
easel
"Seven distinct pieces were preserv
ed for a while, two of which he still
has. One of those pieces was the ser
penis head, which vas round AM
about three fourths of an inch in thick
ness. After taking the medicine for
time that destroyed the snake, il con
men;ed to sting him. 1t stnng hin
