The Slide for Life.

One of the most daring acts ever per-
formed for public amusement by any lv-
ing being is that of YOuturkey, the death
defying Japanese in his daring slide for
life down a tightly drawn rope from the
top of telegraph pole eighty feet high
The rope is stretched on sharp incline
and the sturdy little Jap ascends it
wearing queer shaped socks the great toe
of each of which is divided, The rope
passes between this toe and the others
and by sheer muscular power of the
toes he grips the rope as the cable car
grip does the cable and ascends with
out apparent difficulty or exertion. When
he has reached the top, and while still
standing on the rope he turns about and
with the hempen fabric still stretching
between his toes he shoots earthward like
a rocket and is caught by his attendants.
In his native land Youturkey was the
premier entertainer of the Mkado and
together with others of his troupe often
appeared by royal command in the palace
gardens where he entertained the Japa
nese ruler and his distinguished guests.
In statue Youturkey is short and inclined
to stoutness and his fiat little facc IS fgu-
passive even in the moment ut nrome
peril, when death is staring hi. in the
face as the cost of the sligh SHIP or
mishap. He will he here as ono .t .1e

The Inside Route.

The commercial bodies of Savannah
gave willing and enthusiastic endorse
ment to the project for an improved in
land water route between the north
and the south, as: advocated by Con-
gresham Small, of North Carolina. The
benefits that would flow from the open
ing of such a naVigable channel along
the coast as that proposed are so well
understood by shipping and sea-far-
ing men as to need no argument. For
a greater part of the distance the
INSIDE route is, already practicable;
with the aid of government appropria-
tiOns in q reasonable amount the whole
distance could be opened to the pro-
posed width and depth SO that cargoes
of considerable weight could be trans
ferred betWeen the north and the south
without running the great risk Of the
shoals of Hatteras. The present pro-
ject, if We understand it, contemplates
the using of the outside route from
Beaufort inlet, North Carolina, to
Georgetown, but has in view the ult-
maze construction of a continuous in
side route without this break. The
short outside passage referred to is
regarded as safe and easy, and may be
made without difficulty with small
craft, tugs and barges. Not only would
the inside route, as proposed, be a good
thing commercially, but it would be
invaluable in time of war.-Savannah
