RELIGIOUS ACROBATS.
dangerous Aerial Slide Annually Per-
formed In India.

Dangerous Aerial Slide Annually Per-
formed In India.
India offers many curious things In
the way of religion, and the strangest
Of them all Is the aerial slide, which Is
performed annually at Kulu, in the
Himalayas. At point where there is
a cliff overhanging a precipitous gorge
several hundred feet in width and a
hundred feet in depth 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 the 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 ravine. Thus
a slide is contrived, and it is a 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 it, 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 to maintain an upright position
during his lghtning-like 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.
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 diminishes
somewhat, and the pace becomes CORE
spondingly 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 perilous trip is accomplished in
safety a plentiful harvest is assured
Naturally, therefore, every care is tax
en- to minimize the dangers of the per
Torrance. The ceremony is of ancient
origin, and those who engage in it as
jheri form small caste apart.-New

A MEDFORD STORY.
Legend of the Phantom Ship and Its
Mad Pirate Captain.

Legend of the Phantom Ship and Its
Mad Pirate Captain.
The town Of Medford, Mass, has
legend of a phantom ship beside which
the Flying Dutchman is only a peace
full merchantmen. The Medford story
runs that n ship laden with rum and
gold and silver bars put out from that
place in the days when the Spanish
main was infested with pirates. 1t
but got into the doldrums and was so
long becalmed that water and provi-
sions gave cut, and all hands persisted
of thirst and starvation When the
wind came up again the ship sailed
away with her CHASTITY crew, was seen
by a buccaneer, chased and over
hauled.
The pirate captain made fast to his
prize without firing a single shot, and,
attributing the vessels nonresistance
to fear or lack of arms, he was the
first man to leap on board. But the
rope with which the captured ship
had been carelessly dashed to his own
INC SlIilu VI Tic oSu way,
and he found himself rapidly borne
away from his comrades on what he
soon discovered to be floating coffin.
A stiff, breeze filed the sails of the
derelict, and before his own vessel
could overtake it night descended on
the ocean, and the pursuing ship lost
sight of it altogether. Left alone in
pitch darkness on the grewsome craft,
the pirate went mad with terror and,
Selling the wheel, raced away before
the wind and, according to the legend.
was condemned to range the seas for
ever thus In command of his horrible
prize.
Woe to the ship that encountered 1t

lightning's glare, manned by skeletons
and steered by shouting, gesticulat-

casions 1t was sighted in the fog Off
