The judge asked the counsel whether
they wished to argue the case, stating
that he hardly thought it necessary to
submit it in so plain q matter. The law

ment. The jury went out and immedi-
ately returned with verdict for the de-

THE TRICKS OF Magic.

Peculiarities of Hindoo Palms,

Hindoo magic is not all that it is repre-
sented to be- If we are to believe the reve-
lations of Mr.. A. Edwin Rood Mr.. Rood
lived many years in India and speaks
Hindoostanee as fiuehtly as English. He
devoted a great deal of time to studying
the characters and performances of the
fakirs
He won their confidence and induced a
company of them to go with him on a voy-
age around the world. giving exhibitions
of magic. The combination broke up,
however and in Boston the other day Mr..
Rood made an exposure Of their most ia
nous tricks, with the assistance OF Nathoo.
q magician Of great skill
Mr.. Rood says that the reason why the
Hindoos are such expert palmsters is that
their hands are formed unlike those Of any
other human beings, the base of the thumb
being SO large and high that they can hold
any article in the palm. from o pea to an
egg, without contracting muscle, SO that
when the back of the hand is turned to-
ward you it is impossible to see that any
article is concealed in the PALM
One of Nathoo's proudest miracles is
the famous basket mystery. This is said
to be performed by the aid of the mahat
mas, and in India is considered nothing
short of supernatural.
This trick consists in putting a man
into a net, in which he is tightly tied and

then laid across the top of a basket about
3 feet long, IS inches wide and 2 feet deep
sheet is then placed over all, and within
ten seconds the net is thrown out from
underneath the sheet, in which is inclosed
the turban of the juggler, who has appar.
emily disappeared from the basket
moment later the cover of the basket
Is removed by the coniurer who Is per-
forming the trick, and who, after arrang-
ing the sheet loosely over the basket,
stamps on it and sits down in it.
After this he gets up, places the lid on
the basket, binds it tightly with ropes and
then with sharp stick or sword pierces
the basket viciously ON all sides through q
small hole in the center of the top.
This always convinces the spectators
that the basket is empty and greatly puz-
zlcs them, for previous inspection has sat

Immediately loosens the cord which runs
from top to bottom, and when it is loosen

side, leaving his headgcar in the net He
laces this together again with the cord at

it is thrown out, leaving no trace of his
escape from the net.

hits. and this is tho explanation of the

miracle:
Two rabbits were placed in small cloth
bag. loosely tied therein and put on the
floor. The small basket was then placed
before Nathoo, who put upon it his rahm-
eamee. or goa made out of cloth and leath-
er and resem fling a cross between a croc.
odile and a boctjack.
After putting it on the basket Nathoo
spread a small cloth over both, and then
after chanting a hymn he removed the
basket with his left hand, with the cloth
still over 1t, and while calling attention to
the fact that the rahmsamee is still there
deity picks up the bag containing the rab.
bits with the hand which holds the basket.
bringing them around in front of him.
quickly removes the rabbits from the bag.
places then, under the basket, throws
aside the cloth in which the bag is con.
cealed, lifts the basket and aston:shes his
spectators with the sight of the rabbits.
Nathoc continued through the entire
list of wonder provoking tricks, conv:nc-
ing the spectators that it's easy enough to
be a Hindoo magician when you know
how.

miiiionaire by his wine bib6ing friends
But he must have been very shrewd withal.

his money when detectives of the Wells
