SHOOTING THE CHUrEs.
TobogganinR in Boats Is the Latest

From the Chicago Record.
Have you shot the chutes2 If not you

Shooting the chute is combination of to-
bogganing, flying and boating.
1t is the inven tion of an American, and
is intended to entertain people who have
grown weary of the tame sports and need

Paul Boyton, the Chicago man, who
made his reputation by padding up and
down rivers and across channels in his

''chutes.n Last year he frightened
the Londoners with the exhilarating pas
time of shooting" and at present he is
operating the lively contrivance at the
Antwerp exposition. Mr.. Boyton is in
partnership with the inventor, an East
ern man, who began the sport for the en-
tertainment of his friends.
He would load them into fiat-bottomed
boat and let them slide down hill into the
Rock river. When the boat struck the
water it would take hop, skip and Jump

occupants chung to their seats and shouted
with excitement.

Americas simply an elaboration of the
first idea. A strong but slender structure
feet long. Inc platform where the pas
sengers are loaded into the boats is sew
enty-five feet above the ground and is
reached by an inclined plane railway
running parallel with the chute" There
are two cars working on the pulley sys-
ten, one going up while the other comes
down.
Between the railway and the chute is
IN endless chain which carries the boats
TO the top os the incline, where each is
whirled about on turn-taole and headed
down the chute" The latter is a de-
ception. It appears to be a narrow stream

1t feel after three or four movements that
their swing is going rather high, but this
is not all. The apparent amplitude of
the oscillations increases more and
more, until presently the whole swing
seems to whirl completely over, de-
scribing full circle about the bar on
which it hangs To make the thing more
utterly mysterious, the bar is bent crank
fashion, SO that it seems demonstrab
impossible for The swing to pass between
bar and ceiling. 1t continues to go round
and round this way. imparting a most
weird sensation to the occupants until
its movements begin gradually to cease
and the complete rotation is succeeded by
the usual back and forth swinging, and
in a few seconds, as the children say,
the old cat dies" The door of the room
is opened and the swinging party leave.
Those who have tried it say the sensation
is most peculiar and the deception per-
feet.
The illusion is based on the movements
of the room proper. During the entire
exhibition the swing is practically sta
tionary, while the room rotates about the
suspending bar. At the beginning of op-
| erations the swing may be given a slight
| push; the operators outside the room then
| begin to swing the room itself, which Is
really large box iournaled on the swing
| bar, starting it of to correspond with the
movements of the swing. Theys wing
| it back and forth, increasing the arc
| through which it moves until it goes SO
tar as to make a complete rotation. The
| operatives do this without special ma
chinery, taking hold of the sides and cor
ners of the box or room" At this time
the people in the swing imagine that the
room is stationary while they are whirl-
ing through space After keeping this up
for some time the movement is brought
gradually to stop, a sufficient number of
back and forth swings being given at the
finale to carry out the illusion to the end.
The room is as completely furnished as
possible, everything being. of course,
fastened in place. What is apparently a
kerosene lamp stands on a table near at
hand. 1t is securely fastened to the ia
BILE, which in its turn is fastened to the
floor, and the light is supplied by a small
incandesCentl lamp within the chimney but
concealed by the shade. The visitor never
imagines that it is an electric lamp, and
naturally thinks that it would be impos-
sible for a kerosene lamp to be inverted
without disaster, so that this adds to the
deception materially. The same is to be
said of the pictures hanging on the wall,
of the cupboard full of chinaware, of the
chair with hat on it, and of the baby.
All contribute to the mystification. Even
though one is informed of the secret be-
fore entering the swing, the deception is
SAID to De so complete that passengers in
voluntarily seize the arms Of the seats to
avoid being precipitated below

LESSONS IN THRIFT.
How the Public Schools in England
are Made Into Savings Banks.
From the St. Louis Globe -Democra


From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
81 am not an Anglomaniac, +" said L. w.
Hitchcock of New York, who was at the
Lindell yesterday, "but l am interested
in an attempt that is being made in the
east to introduce into the public schools
object lessons in thrift, such as are taught
in the English board schools. Up TO
within a few years ago the anomaly
existed in England of persons in all classes
of life being compelled, under threat of
Imprisonment, to send their children to
school, although fees varying from cents
to IL cents per week had TO be paid, no
matter how poor the parents might be.
When free schools were established in
England plan was devised whereby
those parents who could afford to pay
fees could teach their children habits of
thrift, and at the same time accumulate
sums of money for them in very easy
manner.
''Arran9 ements were made with the
Postal Saving Bank whereby children
could take their fees to school as usual,
purchase penny postage stamps with the
money, attach these stamps to special
slips provided for the purpose, and then
deposit the slips in the banks as soon as
a shilling or "a cents has been accumu-
lated, The idea took so well that the
government allowed penny banks in con
nection with the postoifice TO be estab-
hshed in the schools, and there are now
over 4, 600 of these. Nearly one-half the
children bring their fees and make use
of these banks, nearly 100000 forms for
sticking the stamps on being supplied
every year. The number Of deposits in
these school penny banks is now enor-
nous, and the annual savings are nearly
$4,000. The adoption of this plan in this
country, where so many children who at
tend the free schools could take them
every Monday dime or a quarter, would
result in object lesson sin thrift which
would prove a national blessing"
