Magic In Thibet.

From the Chicago News.
India and neighboring countries are the
home of mystery and the black arts. and
devil possession Is spoken of and believed
in there as much now as it ever was IN
Palestine In the days of holy writ. Even
In the centers Of civilization there are for
tune tellers and wonder workers to whom
supernatural powers are attributed by
those who scorn superstitious belief. Says
a writer: 'Thibetan peddlers have affirmed
over and over again that living In the
mountains near the city of Lhassa there
are men possessing extraordinary powers.
distinct from and far higher than the ordi-
nary lamas of the country. These men
cure the sick by giving them rice to eat
which they crush out of the paddy with
their hands. They perform many other re-
markable feats. We are told that young
Bengal In 1882 testified before a number
of respectable witnesses that while travel
ing In Thibet, In the neighborhood Of the
Lake of Manasarawara. he met one OF
these men accompanied by number of
chelas, or pupils. The master saluted him.
and finding that he had nothing to eat.
gave him some ground grain and tea. As
the Bengal had no means of obtaining fire
the master called for some fuel and kindled
II by simply blowing on 1t with his mouth.
He also cured shepherd who was brought
to him suffering from rheumatic fever. then
and there, by giving him few grains OF
rice crushed out Of paddy, which he had in
his hand"

Fable Of the Hen.
From the Boston Post.


Once upon a time very recently hen
went upon a strike and refused to lay
Other hens followed her example, and the
scarcity Of hen fruit which resulted caused
eggs to retail. for something like so cents
per dozen. In other words strictly fresh
eggs laid by scab hens were worth about
cents each In the shell. Even cold storage
eggs which were deadly explosive and had
to be handled with care brought 80 cents
The people got together and demonstrated
with the hens, but it did no good. Finally
an arbitration committee waited on the
hens and tried to persuade them to go back
to work. The arbitration committee pointed
out that only the rich could afford to eat
eggs. but the hens refused to return to
work. The arbitration committee then told
the hens that IL they persisted in the strike
they would bring race suicide on them
selves.
Then wise old hen arose and spoke as
follows:
In the spring when us hens wish to sit
the people give up porcelain doorknobs to
sit on. If the porcelain doorknobs are as
good as eggs to sit on, they ought to be as
good to eat as eggs. Tell the people to eat
porcelain doorknobs."
The arbitration committee could not an
swer this argument, and departed in tears.
Moral-Deceit will come home to roost.

Travels Of Hotel Elevators.
m the New York Sun.

from the view 1Ofk sun.
Nobody who spends much time in the
skyscrapers can help noticing the increased
speed attained by the elevators since the
Introduction and perfection of the safety
clutch. This increase In speed applies to
the elevators in apartment houses and
hotels equally with those In office buildings,
though the hotel elevator Is usually still
the slower, as 1t always has been.
The maximum speed for passenger ele-
vator in ordinary use has been reached for
the present at any rate, In Duane street
office building, where one runs with
rapidity averaging from coo to TOO feet
minute.
Some interesting experiments have Just
been made by the Edison company to dis
cover what distance is covered by the or
binary hotel elevator in the course of a
months travels. In one apartment hotel
In which there are two passenger elevators
and a shaft 316 feet high travelling ordi-
narily $50 feet minute, the elevators COW
cred in q month 1853 and 1873 miles A freight
elevator almost half as fast covered In the
same period only thfrty-two and a half
miles.
The two elevators in another hotel. one
with 254 and the other a 21S-foot shaft,
covered 1G6 miles and 146h miles In
month. travelling $50 feet minute.
The conclusions reached were that In
hotel service busy elevator customarily
travels from fifty to eighty miles month
for every 100 feet of shaft and consumes
approximately two klowatt hours OF cleo
trtcity for every car mile.
