The Funnel Trick.

Jerry Lynch has finally learned
the funnel trick. He took it in two
doses-one on one evening and the
other the next. The Senator sauntered
up to the Bohemian Club the other
day and saw two or three Of the
younger members attempting a new
feat, and he watched them with in
terest. One OF them stuck a funnel in
the top of his trousers, threw his head
back, placed a fifty cent piece on his
forehead and tried to drop it in the
funnel by slowly lowering his head.
After all had failed Jerry insisted on
trying it, though all had tried to dis
suade him from attempting q feat too
difficult for them. The funnel was
placed in the waistband of his trousers
and he threw back his head to receive
the coin ON his expansive brownTAt

ment, and the next night at the club
he started to show u couple Of friends
the funnel trick.
''It's this way" he explained; "you
put the funnel in the top of your
pantaloons, SD, then throw your head
back 20, and-vowl"
Again Jerry was forced to change
his raiment, and he is not showing
people what he knows about the fun

How High Can NJ an 90?

Professor Ugolino Mosso, of Tarin,
has made some interesting experiments
on the effects experienced in ascend
ing to high attitudes. All climbers of
lofty mountains are aware that at great
heights, such as the summit OF Mount
Blanc, respiration becomes more or
less troublesome, the heart beats rap
idly and some time irregularly, and a
feeling of exhaustion, often accom-
panied by naes-ea, is experienced.
These effects arigs largely from the
rarity Of the air, aIsr~--ee the atmos-
phere becomes less''sdense Tx higher
one goes, it is evi lent THAT a limit
must soon be reachedshQvb which man
cannot ascend. Profesasr Mosso made
his first experiments o9 Monte Rosa,
next to Mont Blanc tLts highest peak
of the Alps, where he q. 'cended to an
elevation exceeding $4,000 feet with
out serious inconvenience. Returning
to Turin he made his next ascent, so to
sreak, without ascending at all. In
other words, he produced an imitation
of the rare atmosphere of a very lofty
mountain top by partially exhausting
the air from a large pneumatic cham.
her in which he had shut himself.
When the air in the chamber corre-
sponded in density with that which
would be found at a height Of 24,272
feet above sea level, he suffered such
i'll effects that he could not carry the
experiment further. The height to
which Professor Mosso thus simulated
an ascent is almost a mile less than
that of Mount Everest, SO that it seems
improbable that man will eyer be able
to set his foot on the Hottest peak Of
the earth.

A Queer Man.

J. L. Singleton, OF Atlanta, Ga, is
a man with a strange mania for which
he is now under arrest, says the

and running and beating little colored
boys. It is estimated that in the last
Eve months he has slain at least forty
pussies. In fact no cat can live in the
neighborhood with him. Almost daily
he patrols the backyards Of his neigh.
bors with gun in hand, and looks care
fully under the houses and shoots
every cat he ices. A young colored boy
seems to have the same effect on him
as a red cloth does to a wild bull. He
can not tolerate the sight of them.
When a little colored boy passes his
house and is spied by Singleton, he
Jumps off his porch and will chase the
innocent lad al least three blocks, il
he doesn't catch him sooner, and then
