RELIGIOUS ACR0BATs.
Dangerous Aerial Slide Annually Per.
formed In India

India offers many curious things I'm
the way Of religion, and the strangest
Of them ali Is the aerial slide, which Is
performed annually at KClu, In the
Himalayas. At point where there Is
O cliff overhanging IA precipltOus gorge
several hundred feet In width and q
hundred feet In depth a rope Is made
fast TO the rock. The other end OF this
Is carried across the gorge and there
secured to stake. The total length
Of t. rope between the two points is
when drawn taut $500 feet. and the
end attached TO the cliff IS several .hun-
dred feet higher than that fastened on
the opposite side OF the rayine. Thus
a slide Is contriyed. and 1t is danger
Gus one to 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 IL, through
which the rope passes. But before Il
start is made the whole length Of the
rope is wet 10 prevent the saddle from
catching fire from the friction. The
performer sits astrlde this seat, aud 10
his legs are fastened bags Of sand,
which serve two purposes-they enable
him TO maintain an upright position
during his llghtnlng-lilie 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 prccaulion the performer
would be dashed TO pieces.
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 iaClnc dilninishcS
somewhat, and the pace becomes CORE
epOndingiy slower. by the time the
goal is reached the jheri, as the per
former IS called Is able to come to
standstill without disaster
This slide In The air is supposed TO
reveal the will Of the gods as to the
crops Of the approaching season. If
the pcrilous trip Is accomplished In
safety a plentiful harvest is assured
Naturally, therefore, every care Is tax
cn 10 minimize the dangers Of the per
formance. The ceremony is Of ancient
origin. and those who engage in ii us

SCARLET FEVER.
A seourge Of White Races In All Ages
and Countries.

Now that smallpox, thanks TO com.
pulsory vaccination, has become a rar.
fly In civilized communities, scarlet
fever steps forward as the worst Of
the eruptlve diseases Of childhood
1t Is a malady OF enormous antiquity.
Thucydides, writing nearly 500 years
II q heritage from the remote past
II has scourged the whlse races In all
ages and all countries. and the ply
Bicians OF all schools have levcled
their heaviest artillery upon 1t. Yet
Il remains puzzle unSolved and an
enemy unconquered even today. We
are In doubt as 10 It's cause, and there
is no drug or :ntltOxln that Will cure
It. But despite all this the death rate
from scarlet fever is steadily dcclin
ing, and we may expect IL TO decline
more and more as the years go by
The reason for this, | take II, lies Ia
the fact that the modern doctor Is a
great deal more sparlng with pills and
powders than his predecessor and "a
great deal more lavish with water, air
and nntlscptics. In the old days IT,
was customary to dose scarlet fcvc:
patients with all sorts OF violent RENE
dies In staggering quantities, and as a
result many OF them died Today
medicines are but minor auXiliarles In
the slckroom, and both doctor and
nurse devote their main energies tO|
preventing n spread Of the Infection

HENRY GLEWS, CHEERFUL

The striking news developments oi the financial week says Henry Clews under date of Sept. F, have been, first, the decision of the United States Circuit court of eastern Peunsylvania, declar- ing the commodity clause of the Hep burn law unconstitutional; second, the promulgaIiou by the department ot agriculture of what for practical pur' poses is its preliminary harvest return and, third, the sudden advance in call money to q per cent. The first two ot these items were reaSsuring; the last named is not surprising. rEe wheat and corn harves,S, it is true, will prob ably not figure quite up to expectations current a month or so ago; they are, however, considerably above the aver age, and as the danger point even for corn may now be considered to have been safely passed, one of the chief sources Of uncertainty in the general financial situation is removed. The wheat promise is 32,OOO,OOO bushels ahead of the financial harvest returns of 2 year ago, itself an excellent crop year, and prices are fully as high as those current at this date in l907- about sl.O4 per bushel for No. ? red, ths standard. The market of the immediate future promises active auct- nations and will probably be success fully taken advantage of by the nimble trader. The fact should be kept actively in mind. however, that the prlce-range Is high and caution cannot be too strongly urged. A particularly encour. aging influence is the continued de- mand for bonds and the fact that with the scarcity of the exclusively high gradee interest is now being shown in the best of the second grade issues.

HERE'S 5000 LUCK 10 ATLIN

The number of men who have recent ly come out of the Atlin country with cheering reports of that section, the record of several of whom has been written down in the Alaskan, must have attracted special attention by this time. All speaS of the camp in the most hopeful tone. Those who pass through from there or who come to sojourn here, as many have recently to "rest up bit," wear the air of prosperity. All report prosperity whence they come. New creeks are attracting attention in these, quartz is reported to have been definitely To- caled, the placers are being worked on extensive scale, hydraulicing chiefly and with good results, and now coal Is reported to have been found there-a mountain of good cOking coal. These things are very pleasing to the ear Of Skagwsy. Here the developments Of that country are watched with lively and sympathetic interest. Atlin is an old camp-expIoited in lS9S-but there
 -. ..,,. ,,-h, b.1;ay., it haS pnL val seea its best days. The scenery of the Atlin couutry is beautiful, and is every year growing in favor with tourists, the number that took the trip this year being quite notable. It is inviting not only by its beautiful water ap- proach but by splendid drives and scenic attractions after one gets there. May the camp live long and prosper.
