When the late Lord Penzance was
plain Mr. Wilde, he once took an early
morning stroll round Covent Garden
market. There he entered into CONVEX

that the stranger was an enthusiastic

interesting chat on horticultural topics
as they walked toward oxford street.
Suddenly the fare in a passing hanson

and within the vehicle Wilde saw his
friend, Sergeant Ballantine. Bidding
the old man adieu, Wilde entered the

RELIGIOUS ACRoBATs.

Dangerous Aerial Slide Annually PER-
formed In India.
India offers many curious things in
the way of religion, and the stlungest
of them all Is the aerial slide, which is
performed annually at Kulu, In the
Hlmalayas. At point where there Is
a cliff overhanglng a preclpitous gorge
several hundred feet in width and a
hundred feet In depth a rope is made
fast to the rock. The other end of this
Is carried across the gorge aud there
secured TO q stake. The total length
Of the rope between the two points Is
when drawn taut $500 feet, and the
end attached TO the clif Is several nun
dred feet higher than that fastened on
the opposite side of the ravine. Thus
a Slide is contrivcd, and It is danger
Gus one 10 all appearance.
1t is down this incline that the per-
former has his path. For the lofty
Journey sort OF saddle is provided
made Of wood. with holes in II, through
which the rope passes. But before a
start is made the whole length OF the
rope Is wet to prevent the saddle from
catching fire from the friction. The
performer sits astride this seat and to
his legs are fastened bags of sand,
which serve two purposes-they enable
him 70 maintain an upright position
during his lightning-likc descent, and
they Increase the momentum The
lower end of the rope is carefully
wound with bits of carpet TO check the
speed before the stake is reached.
Without this precaution the performer
would be dashed TO pieces. 6
The terrific velocity Of the descent
for the first few hundred yards Is
shown by the stream Of smoke that
trails from the wake of the saddle, de.
spite the fact that the rope has been
wet Afterward the Incline diminlshes
somewhat. and the pace becomes CORE
spondingly slower. BY the time the
goal is reached the jher, as the per-
former is called, is able to come to a
standstill without disaster.
