A Problem in Phvsios.

R. G. Mack, who has been a puzzle
to the scientific and sporting
worlds for a number of years,
is in the city and will mysti.
fly any man of muscle who believes
himself capable of lifting a few
pounds. A few pounds is the real
weight of the mystery, and yet all,
the champion strong men of vaude-
Vile and arena fame have tried in
vain to lift him from the floor.
There is something about Mack
which cannot be explained by ordin-
airy rules Of gravitation or muscular
force. Stood upon a pair of scales he
barely registers 1876, but at his will
he can become so attached to the plat
form of the scales that five men can
not bulge him. He has Travelled all
over the country and experts in lift
ing, from man who successfully lifted
a Kansas mortgage to Sandow, at
tempted in vain to lift him.
Different scientists advance their
theories for the strange power which
he has possessed from childhood, and
which is of as much mystery to him
as it is to all others. Virchow, the
celebrated Berlin sayant, says that it
is nerve force while Charcot, the
French hypnotist, says that it is a
control of the ocular forces. Be it
what may, he has it, and goes about
causing strong man to marvel and
lightweights to Cleveland

Purity and whitefsh.

Whitefish have returned to Chicago,
ana for the first time in 20 years they
are being caught in quantities in the
region of the four-mile crib ON Lake
Michigan. This is held to be an indi-
cation of the purifying effect of the
drainage canal. Whitefsh cannot
abide the least degree of filth; even
the sawdust of a mill sufices to drive
them away, SO fishermen say. Years
sgo the dirt emptied hourly by the
Chicago river made them retreat from
this end of the lake. There was such
a demand for them IS years ago that
the state passed stringent laws for
their protection.

Peers Not to Kiss the King.

The king is busily engaged in re-
vising the details of the coronation pa

cermony of being kissed by every
peer present. He is reported to have
exclaimed: Imagine me compelling
Devonshire to kiss me! He would
never survive the ordeal"
William ". kicked against this GER
emonial, but he was compelled to sub
nit; but he declared afterward that
he would renounce the kingship rather
than repeat the experience of receiving
the embraces of archbishops and bish-
