baked hard at first, then cut in small pieces
and further dried in a heated oven; small
quantity of salt and some soup. The soup
is boiled in huge caldron capahea of hold
ing 400 gallons. Into the water is cast some
cracked barley, together with the shell
dirt, and to this a little salt is added, but
nothing of the meat kind enters into it's
composition. The soup is dealt out by a
number of men with dippers, every soldier
in his turn receiving his allotted quantity.

The performer was a fakir whom he acci-

he continually affirmed were the work of
other inteilisences.
On some sticks fixed upright in flower
pots were placed some leaves from tree,
with holes in each sufficiently large to
make them fall to the level of the mos1.
Standing at a considerable distance, the ia

breeze seemed to pervtde the room. then
the leaves quivered and gradually worked
upward on the sticks. Jacolliot placed
himself between the flower pots and the OPP

Illustrate any trickery, but nothing he did

the leaves.
The more familiar feat of seemingly su-
pernatural growth of flowers was utterly
eclipsed by another instance vouched for
by the same narrator. His own servant

which he selected and marked one. The IA

motion of his hand he made shavings of

FEATS OF HTNDoO MAGICIANs

One need not go to the realms of space or

hensible. Despite modern science and in
genuity this word still remains the only
applicable epithet for some Of the achieve
ments of Indian conjurers. We can smile
at the luminous appearance of the beautiful
face, before which, as the revelation of
Osiris, the old Egyptians prostrated them
selves in awe-for the marvels of the magic
lantern are familiar to us; the early exist
ence Of gunpowder gives an easy explana-
tion of the oracle's lightning and thunder,
the weird harmony of Memnon was mere
ly the result of an ingenious mechanical
contrivance.
But shrewd travellers of later date whose
veracity is beyond dispute, tell of much
more inexpicable things than these. One
