MARvELS OF INDIAN MAGiCIaNS
Wonderful Feat OF which Lord Lytton
Was 70 Witness.

WIS ~ w ituc~>s
The following story Of Indian magic
was told me by the person To whom 1t
was told by the late Lord Lytton. !
gave Il In my own words. for the cx-
cellent though humlliating reason that
l have mlslald the MSS. When In
India Lord Ly,ton often sought out
coniurers, but never saw any but the
usual feats, such as the mango tree
trick aud the basket trick. The method
I'M each case Is known, or, M all events,
plauslble explanation, have been given
hy Mr.. Maskelyne and other experts.
ON one occasion Lord l.ytton liked
something In the looks of the conjnrer
who was performing In the open space
before his house. After the ordinary
exhibition his lordshlp asked the magi.
can IL he could not do something more
out OF the common way.
The man said he would try, and ask.
ed for ring, which Lord Lytton gave
him. He then requested an officer TO
tuke In either hand q handful OF seeds
one sort was sesame. The name OF
the other sort my informant did not
know. Holding these seeds, and hav'
ing the ring between his finger and
thumb, the officer was 10 go To we'll
In the corner OF the compound lie
was 10 dispose OF the seeds in a certain
way-l think on the low wall around
the well, into the depths OF which he
was 20 throw the ring. All this was
done, and then the mage asked Lord
.yttOn where he would like the ring 10
rcappear. He answered lin his dis
patch box" OF which the key was at
tachcd 20 his watch chain, or at al
events he had IT with him on the spot
Tho dispatch box was brought out
Lord Lytton opened II ana there was
the ring This trick would be easy II
the British officer was . confederate OF
the jugglcrs, and II he possessed &
duplicate key 10 the dispatch box. IL
that case he would hot throw the rins
into the well. but would take II into thC
house, open the box aud Insert the ring
Hut this explanation Involves enormou,
lmprobabllitles, while II Is unlikely
again, that the conjurcr managed I,
insert a duplicate ring into the dlspat,l
box beforehand. Lord LyttOn theI
asked the jugglcr II be could repeat thu
trick He answered in the affirmative
aud lady lent another ring. Another
officer took II, with the seeds, as before
and dropped the ring into the well. TIL
c0untenancc OF the juggler altered II
the pause which followed. Something
he said. had gone wrong and he seemed
agliated. Turning 10 the second officer
he asked: Did you arrange the seed

Eating and Weight.

1t has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after meal. and they have even
gone the length OF explaining this by
the amount Of gas that Is developed
from the food. Average observations,
however. show that we lose three
pounds and six ounces between night
and morning; that we gain one pound
and twelve ounces by breakfast: that
we again lose about fourteen ounces
before lunch; that lunch puts on an
average Of one pound; that we again
lose during the afternoon an average
of ten ounces; but that IN ordinary
dinner to healthy persons adds two
pounds ana two ounces to their weight,
