Director Merriam is credited by the
Washington Star with saying that his
chief aim in taking the census OF 1900
will be to secure the bestmen available
for the work Of enumeration and anal
ysis, that he will observe the spirit OF
the merit system in his appointments,
that he will subordinate all this to the
considerations etfecting the general
questions Of population, vital statistics
and the mechanical and agricultural
schedules. IfMr. Merriam sticks to his
promise, he will succccdin giving the
country complete and reliable array
j of figures. Ii he is merely talking
buncombc and intends to serve the
ends of the place hunters of his party,
he will succeed in producing as great
an abortion as the last census.

INDIAN MAGIC.
Wonderful Feat Performed Before
the Late Lord LyttOn.

Wonderful Feat Performed Before
the Late Lord LyttOn.
Longman's Magazine.
Tie following story Of Indian magic
was told me by the person to whom it
was told by the late Lord I-ytton. l give
it in my own words for the excellent
though humiliating reason that I have
mslaid the MSS When in India Lord
Lytton often sought out conjectures, but
never saw any but the usual falsts, such
as the mango tree trick and the basket
trick. The method in each case is known,
or, at all events, plausible explanations
have been given by Mr.. Maskelyne and
ether experts On one occasion Lord
Lytton liked something in the looks Of
the conjurer who was performing In the
open space before his house. After the
ordinary exhibition his lordship asked
the magician if he could not do something
more out of the common way. The man
said he would try, and asked for ring,
which Lord Lytton gave him. He then
requested an officer to take in either hand
a handful of seeds-one sort was sesame.
The name of the other sort my informant
did not know. Holding these seeds, and
having the ring between his finger and
thumb, the officer was to go to we'll in
the corner Of the compound. He was to
dispose of the seeds in a certain way-I
into the depths CT which he was to throw
the ring. All this was done, and then
the mage asked Lord Lytton where he
would like the ring to reappear He
answered 'in his dispatch box" Of which
the key was attached to his watch chain
or at all events he had 1t with him on
the spot.' The dispatch box was brought
| cut, Lord Lytton opened it and there
was the ring. This trick would be easy
British officer lodi IA
OF the jugglers, and if he possessed q
duplicate key to the dispatch box In
that case he would not throw the ring
into the well, but would take it into the
house, open the box and insert the ring.
Fut this explanation involves enormous
! lmptobabiitties, while it is unlikely, again,
that the conjurer managed to Insert a
duplicate ring INTO the dispatch box be-
forehand. Lord Lytton then asked the
iuGgler If he could repeat the trick He
! answered In the affirmative and a lady
lent another ring. Another officer took
it, with the seeds, as before, and dropped
the ring into the we'll. The countenance
Of the iuggler altered in the pause which
followed. Something, he said, had gone
wrong, and he seemed agitated. Turning
TO the second officer he asked: Ibid YOU
arrange the seeds as L babe your" NO"
said the officer, II thought that was all
| nonsense and threw them away" The
| juggler seemed Mortified DO Won think
do this by myself?" he said, and, pack
| ing up, he departed
The well was carefully dragged, and at
! LAST the lady's ring was brought to the
| surface. That ring, at least, had GER
| tainly been in the water. But had the
| first ring been as faithfully consigned to
the depths? Experts will be of various
opinions as to that-yet the hypothesis Of
| confederdcy and of a duplicate key to the
| dispatch box is difficult
