CROSSING TEQUENDAMA CATARACT.
were extraordinarily daring and skillful
and have astounded the spectators by their
deed of prowess. History tells us that in
1885, upon the entrance of Isabel of Ba-
varia into Paris, Genoese allowed him
self to slide, singing, from the tops of the
towers of Notre Dame to the Point de
Change, over which the queen passed and
entered through an opening in tho blue
taffcta sown with golden flowers -de-luce
with which the bride was covered. After
having placed crown on young Isabel's
head, the cquilibrist continued his aerial
journey. When it was nearly night, the
Genoese assembled to the towers, carrying
lighted torch in each hand, which must
have caused a singular appearance from
q distance, and doubtless gave rise to more
than one story of fantastic apparitions.
If history has preserved for us through
five centuries the tradition of this descent
from the towers of Notre Dame to the Point
de Change as q marvellous feat, what can
we say of Blondin and his imitators, es-
pecially of Warner, who has dared not
only on wire to cross the cataract of Nj
a2ara, but has just performed the wonder
full feat of crossing the terrible abyss Of
Tequendama on a rope?
The crossing of Niagara gave Blondin o
universal reputation, he being the first to
try this daring act, but if considered con-
scientiously, that is nothing compared
with the crossing of Tequendama, for the
conditions of the two cataracts are quite
different. At Niagara an acrobat who be-
came dizzy and lost his equilibrium would
fall into waters that are perfectly tranquil
and very deep, circumstances which, taken
in connection with the fact that tho fall
would not be more than about 100 feet,
would give the equilibrist the assurance of
salvation, for he would not encounter
rocks, and, if he knew something of SWIM
ming, he would rise to the surface and
swim 30 one of the banks or to boat,
which would land him safely.
at Tequendama all the conditions of the
abyss are against the equilibrist, who, in
case he experiences the slightest dizziness
and Falls, would be very certain of break
ing his neck, for he would fall into
q raging torrent from the terrible height
of 40 feet! What would be the size of the
largest fragment of the acrobat that could
be picked up at the bottom of such an
abyss?

A Sunday Afternoon at the Chi

OF CURIOUS VISITORS.

ThronEs OF Men, Women and Children
Drawn to the Deadhouse by Motives Of
Morbid curiosity-Many Of Them Are
Regular Callers.
Four long, desklike boxes are in the
room. They are glass covered and have
slanting tops. Two extend along the north
and south walls of the room, and two back
to back down the center, leaving two al
leys for the passage of the people who have
business there or are drawn by that NOR
bid curiosity, the desire to gaze on the fea-
lures of the dead. 1t is the Chicago Inorgue.
The room is lighted only by a dim sky
light, and the atmosphere Is chilly and
impregnated with the indefnable odors
which belong to the charnel house. In
those boxes were a dozen white, sheeted
figures, with drawn and emaciated fea-
lures, exposed to the curious gaze OF all
who wished to see them.
Outside the sun was shining bravely in
the calm afternoon. Inside constant pro-
cession of people, old, young, male and fe-
male, PASSED in review before that client
group. Babies too young to walk were
borne in the arms of parents, and their
childish faces held over the boxes that the
little ones, too young to realize the signifl-
figures, the most cruel and depressing
form of death known to civilization.
Young men jauntily attired attended their
best girls and made the journey from cage
to cage, gazing flippantly at the corpses,
