JUGGLING WITH FIRE.
Trfciis and Receptions That Were

rficks and DeccptiUns That Were

FIRE tricks were practicrd IN very an

known tricks were employed to deceive
'lie public of long ago. There is moth

In order to perform this marvel Eu-

and, hnving filed 1t with some burn

ana brcatlled through 1t. The same
trick Is performed today in m improv-

and he sustaIns no injury SO long ns

For receptions with fire the ancicnt:i
also employed naphtha, which Is so
combustible that it kindlcs when it
only approaches n fame. The priests
or old took advantage of this property
OF naplltha to make their offerings
catch fire as IL spontaneously.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for other feats. An ancient
ordeal WIS the holding Of n redllot iron
by the accused. Such trials were con-
Quoted by the priests, who covered the
hands of those whom they desired
should escape with protective paste.

They donot wish such an associa-
tiation, its very existence accuses them
Iof being usurpers. They TO not wish
that the voice OF the uaiyed raunicipa
|lities should resounG in the mother
country. They do not wish to run the
risk of having discussed the Incredible
occupation of public Offices and the
Iinnumerable blunders and stupidities
which in their new and unfamiliar
roles of functionaries they perpetrate
constantly.
They wish to see nothing of this.
But before adopting resolute postures
indicating selfish intentions. those
who hasten to the moral defence Of
that which is not theirs and which
they have captured by surprise. ought
at least, to observe the appearance of
not giving spectacles that discredit
them as public functionaries.
The benefit which the island can
derive from the association of the mu-
inequalities is incalculable. On the
other hand what good do we derive,
what advantage is it that the bureau
Gratis have esta bljshed their camp in
the public offices and satisfied their
most incredible csprices and their
most extravagant tastes without spen-
ding one cent of their opulent sala-
ries?
From all this we get no benefit,
nothing advantageous; but it does not
occur to the Assistant Secretary of
Porto Rico to send communication to
the invaders who occupy the public
buildings couched in the following or
similar language:
The Foraker Act (Which is sort
[of mogrehino constitution) authorizes
the Governor, and the Governor only,
to occupy the Executive Mansion rent
free. 1t being known that you, without
right or reason, have invaded buildings
finer than anything you could ever
(dresm of having as dwellings. and
which are needed for other purposes.
YOU are hereby ordered to throw your
furniture-providing it belongs to you
into the estreet--and vacate at once your
free domicjle, not however, before
paying the rent and the cost of water
and Light consumed during the time
|of your occupancy OF said buildings.
Very respectfully etc. etc"
A letter couched in those or similar
terms would meet with general ap-
plause.
And in the event of the municipa-
lities not being permitted to contrib
ute towards the sustaining of the Lea
que, the functionaries might pay
the sum which they save from rent.
cost of water and light. SO that so nee
essary an institution need not disap
pear, of whose utility speaks very elo-
quently the opposition which the Lea
que of Municipalities encounters from
the government.
And they would thereby demons
trate that the conduct of the subaltern
Ifunctionaries is governed by the same
laws that govern oiher citizens, other
property and the public peace which
are disturbed by the last lucubratlonss
of The two Boards of Health with
their apparent irclination to be ex-
travagant and eccentric with their lat
| es. ordinances.
