IN THE MYSTIC ORIENT.
Performances Of Hindu Fakirs That
Cause Travellers to Wonder.

Strange stories are told of the
mystic powers of Hindu fakirs Care
full attention has not discovered the
secret OF their startling Illusions with
certainty; but Captain James Parker,
the English traveller lately returned
from India, believes they perform
these tricks by means of hypnotism
One incident which he describes bears
out his view.
The trick which is acknowledged to
be the greatest of these Hindu mystic
performances, says Captain Parker,
and the one that has been described
by trustworthy persons too often to
be doubted, is the one in which the
fakir throws ball of Irvine into the
air above him, until it disappears
from sight. The loose end of the
string he holds in his hand, and after
the boy assistant has climbed up the
string until he, too, is out of sight,
the fakir himself follows, with a knife
between his teeth
The spectators, surprised when both
boy and man climbed out of sight. are
Mortified when the boys severed head.
arms and legs, followed by the trunk,
fall to the ground, and the man slides
down close behind. Their astonish-
ment is increased when the faklr
gathers the severed members and re-
stores the boy to life
Well, saw this performance once,
and once | didn't see it; and the latter
v
the other. l had some London friends
visiting me, and after having left
them for few minutes on the
Veranda of my bungalow, | saw, as |
was returning, the same fakir and his
assistant whom | had seen perform
the trick, standing about forty feet in
'front.' OF my friends, apparently pre-
pairing to begin performance. AS I
was about as far behind the natives
as my friends were in front of them,
and had not been observed, | stood
quietly where | was.
The man placed a drawn knife be-
tween his teeth, took the usual ball
of twine in his right hand, made a
motion as If throwing it into the air.
and then stood perfectly quiet. My
friends on the veranda were looking
INTO the upper air with establishment
on their faces, which in a minute
turned to look of horror as their
eyes came back to the ground. In
another minute their countenances
lighted up with pleasure, and they
applauded roundly.
They could not say enough abou,
the wonderful performance they hao
seen, and they were astonished be-
yond measure when told them | had
been as near the fakir as they, and
had seen nothing of what had so
wonderfully impressed them.
III that was not hypnotism, what
was is?

Letter were the bridesmaids.
No announcement cards were sent
out previous to the wedding, and, un-
der these circumstances no presents
were sent from Washington, not even
from the president and Mrs. Roosevelt,
nor from any of the cabinet officers.
This is a most unusual occurrence and
marks a departure in the social and

SUBTERRANEAN FISH.

An extraordinary phenomena made
its appearance the other day in the
,neighborhood of Brockley. A man
working in a field had his attention
suddenly diverted to a small column of
water rising in jets from a spot
where no water had been before. and
on making closer examination the
laborer discovered a number Of un-
usual-looking fish swimming about in
a pool formed by the uprushing water,
The total number Of fish elected from
the spring reached 500 or 600. They
resembled carp in shape, but possessed
curiously formed fins, of brilliant
brick-red color. and some were blind.
A local geologist expressed the opinion
that the origin of the spr.ng was prob
ably to be found i'm either one of the,
subterranean streams which are known
to exist in this part Of London, or else
in a spontaneous outbursh from the
water bearing strata some hundreds of
feet beneath the surface. He favored
the latter hypothesis, as he considered
1t likely that owing to ,he recent heavy
rainfall water might have accumu-,
lated in such volume In the upper ter
tiary formation that It was able to
force itself Through the clay and chalk
deposits, and 10 to the soil.--London
