INDIAN MAGIC.
A Trick that MystiGed Lord Lyttoa
and One Tint Didn't Work.

A Trick that MystiGed Lord Lytton
and One Tint Didn't Work
The following story Of Indian magic
was told me by the person to whom it
was told by the late Lord Lytton. I
give it in my own words for the eS-
celIent though humiliatins reason that
T have mislaid the manuscript.
When in India Lord Lytton often
sought out conjurers. but never saw
any but the usual feats, 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 other experts. On one occasion
Lord Lytton liked something in the
looks Of the conjurer who was perform
ing in an open space before his house.
After the ordinary exhibition his lord
ship asked the magician If he could not
do something more out Of the common
way. The man said he would try and
asked for a ring, which Lord Lytton
gave him. lie then requested an OIL
Ger to take in either hand 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 bis finger and
thumb, the officer was to go to q well
in the corner Of the compound. He
was to dispose of the seeds In certain
way-I think on the low wal! round
the well, into the depth Of which he
was to throw the ring. All this was
done, and then the magician asked
Lord Lytton where he would like the
ring to reappear. He answered, "1n my
dispatch box" Of which the key was
attached to his watch chain, or, at all
events, he had it with him on the spot.
The dispatch box was brought out.
Lord Lytton opened it, and there was
the ring.
This trick would be easy if the Brit
ish officer was 4 confederate Of the
juggler and if lie possessed dupli-
cate key to the dispatch box In that
case lie would no. throw the ring into
the we'll, bu. would take it into the
house, open tie box and insert the
ring. But tLis explanation involves
enormous improbabilities, while it is
unlikely again that the conjurer man
aged to insert duplicate ring into the
dispatch box beforehand. Lord Lyt-
ton then asked the juggler if he could
repeat the trick. He answered in the
affirmative, and q 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
juggler altered in the pause which fol-
lowed. Something. he said, had gone
wrong, and be seemed agitated. Turn
ing to the second officer, he said, did
you arrange the seeds as I bade you"
NO" said the officer. 81 thought that
was nonsense, and threw them away"
The juggler seemed horrifed. do you
think I DO this by myself?" be said,
and, packing up, he departed.
The we'll was carefully dragged, and
at last the lady's ring was brought to
the surface. That ring at least had
certainly been in the water. But had
the first ring been as faithfully con-
signed to the depths? Experts will
be Of various opinions as to that, yet
the hypothesis Of confederacy and Of
a duplicate key to the dispatch box
is difficult Magazine.

THE SILVER STATUE.
IA Strange Story Of Odd Happenings
In Bohemian Village.

In bohemian y lAaSC.
NJ. dc Blowitz in his memoirs men,
toned this little story Of his birth
place, the quaint little country village
of Grunberg, an out Of the world nook
in Bohemia. The church, poor mod
est affair, possesses life size statue OF
st. John in massive silver. Curiously
enough, the statue has only one arm;
hence this strange incident. The statue
had been stolen and recovered as If by
a miracle by the falling Of a priests
cross during a procession Of lamenta-
ton into deep pool, where in recov-
ering the cross they found the statue.
The thieves had hidden the latter, but
had taken away one Of the arms.
AS the sacred burden was taken back
into the church the archway over the
door gave way and fell straight on the
shoulder of peasant, the last person
in the procession, and cut off his left
arm. The crowd Immediately sur
rounded the wretched man, yelling:
Hes the thief! He's the thief! ST.
John has punished him by cutting off
his armv' There was a terrible mob
from all sides. The people attacked
the peasant, and in minute his clothes
were all in shreds. They were about
to drag him along and hurl him into
the pool without having asked him a
question and without even hesitatins
as to whether Or not be was the real
author of the theft when the old priest
interfered.
81 alone have the right to command
here" he said. "Do not touch that
man."
The crowd fell back little, and the
priest went on speaking.
"You are in my church." he said, ad-
dressing himself to the peasant "and
this is an inviolable and sacred place.
No one has right to touch you here.
Stay inside the church, and do not
leave it, for once outside you belong to
human justice"
And the mutilated peasant remained
there. HE was in the church all day
and all night" continues NJ. de Blowitz,
"and he was still there the following
day when I left GrunDcrg.
give years later, when my voyage
through Europe was accomplished, as
I passed through Grunberg on my way
to my native village, saw at the door
Of st. Johns church an old man who
had lost his left arm. He was on his
knees at the threshold Of the sanctuary,
which he had never dared to leave
lest be should be torn to pieces by the
people,

pcop1e who Do Not Whistle.

Arabia must be heaven for those
whose lives are made burden to them
by the whistler. The Arab maintains
that a whistler's mouth cannot be purl-
fed for forty days and nights, and they
assert Of the whistler that Satan has
touched his body and caused him to
produce the offensive sound. Then
there are the natives Of the Tonga is
lands, Polynesia, who hold that it Is q
sin to- whistle, as it is an act disrespect-
full to God. Even in some districts in
north Germany villagers declare that
if one whistles in the evening it makes
the angels weep.
