Account OF the Wonderful Feat known a.
the China Duck Trick

Account OF the Wonderful Feat Known a.
the China Duck Trick
ga few years ago I was stopping IN
the city of Al1ahabad. near the center
of India, on the Indian Peninsula rail-
way, giving performances in the Rail-
way Theater, says 8 traveller. Every
day a party of native jugglers were IN
the habit of visiting our hotel and ex-
hibiting their skin on the plaza in front
of the building.
''One day was particularly attracted
by an old Hindoo, his son and daughter,
who squatted down on the ground and
waited for the crowd of sight-seers to
gather round They did not have long
to wait. When enough spectators had
come to make the performance profit
able the old fellow drew from the bag
that all Indian juggiers use to convey
their properties in small earthen-
ware jar, filed with muddy water. He
first sprinlLIed q few drops of the water
on the ground and then placed the jar
upon three small stones, which he also
took from the bag.
He then produced a small china duck
and gave it to me for inspection
found nothing noticeable about it. He
asked me to put it in the water. I did
so and it Immediately sunk to the bot
tom. He next drew from the bag
small tomtom, little musical instru-
ment that emits drumming sound
when the handle is turned, and began
waving 1t around the jar.
Instantly the duck rose to the sur
face. He told me to touch it I tried
to do so, when the bird again disap-
peared, to reappear again and again at
the iuggler's will. 1 must confess that
I was mystified. There was apparently
no cause for the strange actions Of the
little bird. 1t was only after the third
or fourth visit of the coniurOr that I
discovered the secret of the trick.
1T was a particularly bright, sunny
day and had chosen a place among the
spectators slightly nearer than the 9th
ers were allowed. I was behind the
scenes as it We're. While attentively
watching the trick noticed in the sun
shine the sparkle OF long hair that ex-
tended from the tOmtOm to the bottom
of the jar.
The moment I saw this I OWNED the
juggler's secret, and afterward found
that my theory was correct. The jar
already contained china duck, pre-
ciseIy like the one had examined. save
that it was buoyant. Attached to the
breast of this duck was the hair. This
hair came through a tiny hole in the
bottom of the jar, The water was
sprinlzled on the ground to conceal any
leakage. When the jar was placed
upon the ground the hair was fastened
SO that the duck could not rise to the
surface.
''As the jugg1er picked up his tomtom
it was ap easy matter for him to fasten
the end of the hair to it by means of a
bit of wax. After this was arranged
you can see how easily he was able to
make this counterfeit duck bob up and
down at the word of command. Chi

Ignorance Of tho, LAW No Excuse

Mr.. w. II. Butler, petitioned the City
Council last night to excuse him for not
connecting the houses recently built by
him on Market,street with the sewer as
required by law Mr.. Butler, appeared
before the board in person, and said
that he was willing to. do what the law
required in the matter, but was not
aware of such law; that he left the mat
ter entirely with his fplumber and the
City Commissioner who should have in
formed him of the requirements of the
law. TheMayor said that ignorance of the
law was no excuse, and that IL would be
setting a bad precedent'for the Board to
set aside one of its own acts to excuse a
person for violating a city ordinance.
Counsellor Revell said the Board had no
| discretion In the matter, it was simply
for themsto enforce the law. The pei-
tion was put to yea and nay vote and
unanimously rejected.
The law which covers the ground is
found in Article 81 of the City Code and
is one of the most important laws in the
Code and II would be well for the city
to haye this article printed in full for
the benefit of property holders and dis
tribute to,every house In the city. The
section bearing upon this course reads
as follows: "Sec. Git shall not be
lawful hereafter for any person or per-
sons to erect on his, her or their premi-
ses, building on any street lane or alley
through which sewer pipe may be laid
or constructed. any sink, vault box or
other receptacle for privy matter, or
Stops or soap soads, or any other refuse
matter on his, her or their premises, but
he, she or they shall be required, under
a permit from the City Commissioner,
heretofore provided for, to attach a
drain pipe with, proper taps from their
premises to connect with said sewer of
sufficient capacity to carry off to said
street sewer all privy or other liquid re
fuse matter which may accumulate in
their respective premises" This section
does not apply to property owners who
have heretofore provided for these things
on their premises

To Repair the City Lamps.

An order was offered by Alderman
Strange last night in the Council meet
ing approprfating three hundred dollars
for the repair of the city lamps. The
city lamps have long since been discard.
ed for the use of the more improved cleo
trio light, and we can't see the necessity
of expanding three hundred dollars for
glazing of the city gas lamps that were
removed from the lamp posts more than
a year ago These lamps, or glass frames
rather were taken off the lamp posts in
comparatively good condition, where
they had been in daily use up to that
time and stored away for safe keeping.
Now, unless the city intends going back
to gas lamps again, land this 1t cannot
do under IFS three years contract with
the Electric Light Company we cannot
see the necessity of this appropriation of
$500 to repair few old lamp frames,
unless it is to give some one job, and
we don't think the ax.payers are will
ling to be assessed for this kind of BUSH
berry, when our streets and many more
needed improvements are pressing hard
upon the city treasury. Let the corpora
ton explain what this expenditure is
for.

Residence Lots at Murray Hill.

In noting the progress at Murray Hill
the manifest advantages of this beauti-
full addition to the city are constantly
recurring. There is the spot above all
others where the growth and overflow of
the city must concentrate So near, so
entirely part of the city already, Muir
ray Hill lots must come into. market
rapidly in fact, we look forward to
unprecedented sales. :. No'more crowd
ing into narrow streets and small sized
lots, for which threeprices are demand
ed. For high, healthy and inviting To-
cations in what is destined to become the
most fashionable and desirable section
of the city are offered at Murray Hill at
prices that cannot be rivaled by prop
erty having equal advantages in oF.near
this city. Here is room for spacious
lawns, ample shade trees, your tennis
courts, your fruit and shrubbery and
flowers. Everything-that can add at
traction to home or.make 1T cosy and
desirable may be enjoyed at Murray
Hill.
So soon as six residences. are complet-
ed, the Water Company will introduce
pipes so the houses can be now built with
bathrooms, and every convenience en-
joyed by those in the heart of the city.
Franklin street is expected soon to
be opened and then extreme beauty and
convenience of Murray Hill will strike
every one, and there will be rush for
the choice of lots. There are hundreds
of lots located in most desirable situa-
tions. Out Franklin street and along
Southgate and Murray avenues are some
of the choice lots. Then there is high
and beautiful plateau stretching over
toward and directly connected with
West street, by way of Second and
Third streets, within stones throw of
thea. w. & B. Railroad Depot and inn
provements of that part of the city.

nary inducements to purchasers both
for residence and for purpose of specu-
lation. In short, the advantages OF
Murray Hill grow upon you as you 60 out
there and walk around noting its .acces-
sibility-the firm, high lay of the land
and the handsome plan which Mr..
Melvin has adopted in laying off lots.

tent engineer. He viii be glad to ex-
plain it in detail and show the lots to
purchasers. These lots can be purchas-
ed on the instalment plan, giving a

STATE AFFAIRS.
The Court or Appeals Adjourns for
Lack OF Heat.

State affairs. on the appellate Court
side came 10 a stand still to-day. The
Court of Appeals met this morning and
oyerruled the motion of a reargument
in the cases of the Fidelity Mutual Life
Insurance Association VS. Ficklen, and
then entered this emphatic paragraph on
its minuaes 1.-THE Court met and was
compelled to adjourn in consequence of
neglect TO have the Court room heated,
the repairs of the furnance having been
delayed" The adjournment is to Tues
day Oct 20th, with the following assign.
ments for that date Nos. 81, %. %, "a and
25. The whole trouble lies in the fact
that three weeks ago the order was given
to a stoye-house 10 furnish new CRATES.
These have been delayed and to add TO
the muddle on Saturday the old CRATES
were allowed to be taken away and sent
odt of the city This fiasco is in keep
ing with the heating of the State House
for years The annex TO the Library has
no heat in it whatever and never can be
occupied in winter; the State Library
from some defect in the heating appara
tus is often like the frigfd zone, and the
Executive chamber is dependent on
which way the wind blows for its heat.
