sionary. Any attempt to photograph 1t
results in failure. The plate reveals moth
ing. You are simply made to see things
which do not exist
And what things? This Is one trick
which you can see being performed in
India in many cities on the days of gem
eral festivities. Round falSr, why
little man, whose clothing consists only
of a loin-cloth, are assembled a vast audi
ence. The little fellow in the center
gives a shrill whistle, and throws up into
the air what appears to be a rope. You
wait for this rope to fall, but 1t doesn't.
1t Strengthens itself out. and looks just
as If it were hanging from the sky. The
fakir claps his hands and gives vent to
another whistle. Apparently out of no.
where. for the crowd Is quite fifteen feet
from the fallir a boy appears, clothed in
the manner of his master. The fakr
picks up the boy and filings him into the
air toward the dangling rope.
You hold your BREATH while the boy
clutches hold of the rope, and shns up 1t.
monkey fashion, till he disappears from
sight In the clear sky a few moments
later, up goes the falxir, until he, too, is
lost to yiew. Sud- anly, from Inc sky, you
see and hear sections of the boys body
fall and strike the ground with a dun
thud. Then the fakr reappears. descend
ing the rope, first as a mere speck In the
heavens, but gradually becoming larger as
he nears the ground. The fakir gathers
the boys head and limbs and body, sticks
them together, and behold the boy, all
smiles and activity, runs once round the
fakr, and then disappears as mysteriously
as he came.
This. the favorlte feat Of Indian .fakirs,
has been witnessed scores of times by off,
GERS and other Europeans whose word Is
indisputable. The officers of British war
ship, having several civil officials aboard,
youch for the following particulars. Their
ship had come to a halt In an East In
dian port after journey Of many thou
sand miles, when the fakr made his APP

scrambling to the deck by the anchor
chains. Thus he had no confederate, nor
any means of assistance aboard
First he took from the hand of an officer
the half of a cocoanut shell, from which,
when held aloft he caused twelve pailfus
of water to flow to the deck. A large
earthenware dish was next borrowed from
the pantry. The falkir poured into 1t gal
lon of water, and held 1t on his out
stretched left hand, placing the other hand
on his forehead. AS the crowd OF officers
and men stood watching in wonderment,
the dish began to shrink in size. until
1t entirely disappeared. They still stared,
as brown object, like a Grain Of sand,
gradually grew larger and larger and
assumed it's normal dimensions, and was
found not to have spilled drop of the
water poured into 1t.
Another performance of this same fakir
was still more amazing. On first reaching
the deck after leaving the water, he had
united a large red cloth from the back of
his neck, where It had obviously been
slowed to keep 1t dry. This he passed
around the company for inspection 1t
was merely an ordinary cloth, of coarse
texture. Spreading 1t flat upon the deck.
the fakir walked around 1t several times,
mutterlng in his throat. and occasionally
turning his eyes upward. All eyes were
glued to the cloth, under which something
was apparently growing in size
Suddenly out hoped a grinning and
chattering monkey which danced all
round the deck; II was followed a minute
later by an ugly and venomous-looking
COBRA wriggling away from the cloth to
the feet of the astounded beholders. Once
again, something, far larger than the 9TH
ers began to stir beneath the cloth Of
mystery Soon a girl of about IA years
of age emerged and stood smiling at all
around her. While those stury Jack Tars
stood rubbing their eyes and pinchlng
themselves to make sure that it was not
a dream, the fakir clapped his hands, and
monkey, cobra and girl canished into the
dair. Then, quickly folding up the cloth

into a bundle. and without soliciting
money from officers or crew, the faklr
leaped into the sea, swimming away with
easy and graceful strokes.
As an explanation of these marvellous
feats, 1t is generally accepted that India i
falsirs, by long sojourns and by hereditary,
or some secret power are enabled, ny
merely forming pictures is their own
minds, to produce Illusions in the minds
of those persons who crowd about them
expecting to see some wonderful feat
The pictures the fakirs eonjure up they
mentally impress upon the minds of their
spectators II is different from hypno-
tism, in that not enc person, but a hun
dred or q thousand, willing or unwilling
to become the Victims of the faltlrs.
The collective hallucinatlon, as experts
term it, Is induced by falxirs by reason of
their knowledge of the relations that ex-
list between objective and subjective states
Of existence. For instance. If we con-
ceive I'm our mind a picture of a thing
we have seen before. an objective form
of that thing comes into existence within
our own mind. and is composed OF the CUB
stance of our own mind.
If by continual practice we gain suffi-
cient power to hold on to that image anu
prevent Its being driven away by other
thoughts, IT will become comparativel,
dense and be projected upon the mental
sphere of others, SO that they may actu-
ally believe they see that which really
exists only as an image within our own
mind.
On the other hand, II we cannot hold on
to that one thought-that mental picture
and control it at will, we cannot produce
its reflection upon the minds of others.
Europeans fail TO reproduce the feats Of
ia kris through weakness of concentration
and of control of their own thoughts

REMARKABLE FEATs
Performed by Indian Fakirs Said to be
Illusions.
From Parsons weekly.

From Pearsons Weekly.
The Indian fakir is the worlds most
wonderful illusionist. 1t is easy to de.
clare his feats are all humbug; it is easy
to laugh at persons who. having seen
his performances, regard him with awe
