London has been entertained lately by
'eats of strength that are certainly re-
narkable and probably unsurpassed in
modern times. First, there was a man
FAMED Sandow, who was an enormously
powerful man. he was succeeded by
Sampson, and he in turn by an Irish
American named Sullivan. Curiously
The three names begin with the letter S,
which is also the initial of strength
stheHos. Sullivan, the latest conner, is
thirty years of age, stands five feet eight
, md one fourth inches in height, and
weighs one hundred and sixty eight
pounds. His appearance presents little that
IS unusual in the way of muscular devel-
opment, and his biceps are neither very
arge nor onderfully rigid. 1t is in his
neck and jaw that his strength chiefly
lies, and the majority of his feats are
such as bring this popularity into special
prominence. AT an exhibition in Lon
don he fastened a chain to a fifty-six
pound weight, and the other end being
gripped between his teeth, swung him
self round and round until the tuirling
chain assumed nearly horizontal line.
The feat was repeated with the weight
doubled, and as the performer, with both
hands to his hips, and using every
snew in his frame, swirled round and
round, the audience wondered with anx-
,ety what would happen if one of the
links should fly asunder. The most re-
markable feat that Sullivan performed,
however, was the lifting of an elephant
by his teeth. 1t was baby, it is true,
but it weighed over eighteen hundred
pounds, and was lifted three inches
from the ground, its whole weight pend
ant from the jaw of the man above. Sui

break a chain with his arn having in.
jured his limb on the previous night, He
succeeded, however, in proving that his
orowess was not entirely confined to
seats with his teeth, by lifting a barrel
Of water, weighing five hundred and
sixty pounds, with the middle finger of
his right hand.

GOLD MINING IN 40.
Description Of the "Eocker'' md
How IL Was Used.

Description of the Rocker" md
How IL Was Used.
The most expensive instrument of tho
.arlv miner was the rocker, which,
hough simple in construction, cost in
he mines from fifty to a hundred dol
ans. In general appearance it was not
unlike a baby's cradle as used by our
-rarHmothers, and as still seen on the
frontier Ii consisted of fiat bottom
with two sides that Jared outward, and
At, end board at the head, W lille the foot
was open save a rifle about an inch and
half high at the bottom to catch the
gold that might pass another rifle across
he bottom near the middle. At the
n"ad of the cradle was a hopper about
eighteen inches square, with a perforated
,hcet-irOn bottom or wire screen. Under
Ibis was an apron, or board, sloping
downward toward the head. Two sub.
,tantial rockers under the whole COM
,leted the simple machine which gave
10 the world millions of dollars.
The modus operandi may be described
as follows: Two sticks of wood hewn
IN the upper side were imbedded at the
.iver's brink, ore four inches lower than
the other, on vi ich the rockers We're TIC
rest, thus securing grade in the ma
chire to facilitate the outward flow of
tie water and sand. Two miners usually
worked together as partners One shov-
.lled the earth into the rocker, while the
other, seated on a boulder or block OF
wood. dipped the water from the river
and poured it upon the earth in the hop
pei with one hand, all the time rocking
with the other When the earth was
thoroughly washed he rose, lifted the
hopper from its place, threw out the
stones and gravel, replaced it, and thus
:le work went on. AS the ground about

move as far as possible all but the gold.

Tricks the Memory Plays.

Much has been written concerning the
pleasures of memory, but no one. it
seems, has cared to present the other
side of the subject. But there is another
side to it.
Remembering when you are half way
to the opera that you have left your box
ticket at home upon your dressing table,
and at the same time recollecting that
the overture was what you wished espec
tally to hear, is an incident not calcu-
lated to add to the pleasures of mem.
Dry. After you have sent boquet to
your lady love with a note intimating
that the flowers were the finest that
could be purchased, but you cared not a
cent for expenses, it adds nothing to
your pleasure to remember that the
florists card on which was written,
TWENTY-FIVE cents, collect" was
ughtlessly permitted to accompany
the boquet.
When tired papa, who has walked
thirty one hundred and sixty nine times
around the room with a restless baby,
finally quiets the child and is himself
just about to drift away into bewitching
dreamland, he derives no happiness from
the suddenly engendered recollection
that he forgot to lock the hall door and
to put the cat out.
When we are telling some man of the
grand and brilliant schemes we are work.
ing whereby we are coming money so
fast that we scarcely know what to do
with it, it is a real source of annoyance
rather than pleasure, to call to mind the
Fact that we are owing him FLYER, y

ago, but which we cannot pay because
We have not got that much ready cash to
our name.
