slid Down Lookout.

A short, compactly built man With
a heavy blonde moustache took a to-
boggAn slide do WI lookout mountain
a few days agl, says thu Chattanooga
Times.
He went by way of the incline, and
made the trip from the Point hotel to
the engine house, Il distance of $500
feet. In three and one half minutes,
which is just cne.third the time that it
takes the Car t. descend. Fully one
hundred pe, pie saw HIM make the
lghtning-IiS, descent, and all we're
greatly excited. The nervy coaster,
however, var IT'S cool as the proverbial
cucumber, and, upon reaching the
foot of the mountain, walked away rs
cooily rs though it had taken him an
hour TO descend.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
coaster appeared at the Point hotel
with what appeared to be Il block Of
wood about eight inches square under
his arm. On one side of the block
was IL steel horseshoe, in the curve of
which was small Hanged wheel. The
other side of the block was slightly
concave. The block was put on the
outside Of the incline, the wheel fitting
CLOSE, and the horns Of the horseshoe
were on the other side. Then the
man put heavy glove on his right
hand, and, sitting down on the block,
started down the mountain without
more ado. He held his feet crossed
straight and before him, and rested
them on the iron rail. For few feet
the little QUE y heel car moved slowly,
and then the speed increased until it
and it's human freight were going
down The mountain at a rate that
made the spectators hold their breath;
When curve was reached the coaster
slowed up slightly by pressing his
heels against the rail and steadied
himself by touching the cable with
his glove hand. Finally, when he
reached the very heavy grade Just
above the engine house he took of
all the brakes and came down like
a shot out Of gun. Arriving at the
bottom, he put on the "heel" brakes
and gently came to stop just in the
depot, Coolly rising from his queer
vehicle, he placed it under his arm
and walked quietly away before any
of the astonished spectators had time
to recover their breath or ask any
questions.
