coNJURING BIRDS.
Trick Sparrows of Hongkong and One
of Their Feats.

Trick SParrows of Hongkong and One
of Their Feats.
The famous Chinese conjuring birds
are Java sparrows. At street corners
in Hongkong sedate old Chinese may
be seen putting the birds through their
tricks for the benefit of strangers.
Each birdcage has sliding door,
and just outside this is pack of little
cardcases, each containing a picture
and small pot holding half a dozen
grains Of rice.
When the stranger, pursuant to the
suggestion of the owner, hands over
the necessary coin this is placed with
the pack of cards at the cage door.
Then the owner will undo the fasten-
ing Of the door. The bird, eying the
coin, then the cards, then the coin
again, as If he thought his perform
ance TOO cheaply valued, descends
from his perch, opens the door with
his beak, hops outside, draws a card
from the pack and passes 1t to his
master. He receives in reward one
grain Of rice.
The man takes the little picture
from the case received from the bird
and hands 1t to the stranger to inspect.
He then returns 1t to the case, accom-
panied by the tiniest fat slip of bam-
boo, and shuff1es the case up with the
rest Of the pack. The bird descends
and selects case, and the stranger
opens 1t, to find the identical one con-
tanning the bamboo.
How can this be accounted for? The
only possible way Of explaining is
that the bamboo slip is slightly scent |
ed. Exchange.

FREAKS or NATURE.
Two cueor Rock Formations on this
Island Of ST. Helena.

There are at least two queer freaks
ofnAure on the island of st. Helena
or rather four. for one of them is
group Of three figures - known the
world over as the Devils Nose" and
LOT and His Daughters" Any one
who is able to study the island as it is
and not run wild over the Napoleonic
legends which have clustered about
that "seabound rock since the days
when the Little Corporal was housed
there in his living grave viii find much
that viii repay for investigation. time
and study.
The queerest of the natural forma-
tions are the oddities above alluded TO.
The first Of these initiative forms is
rocky promontory which has been
known by names which signify Old
Nick's nasal projection since May %,
1902, when Juan Castella and his men
sighted the island just in time to see
the devil disappear beneath the waves
in the best harbor. leaving his nose as
a reminder Of what might happen
should the venturesome Spaniard seek
to take possession of his Satanic maj
esty's favorite haunts.
'Lot and His Daughters" are three
conical rocks which can only be con
jured into representing man and two
women by a strong play of the imag-
ination. According to the views of
some writers they are weather worn
statues of colossal size, probably the
work of some aborigines of the island.
Their gigantic size, however, would |
seem to preclude this idea. When or
by whom they were dubbed Lot and |
His Daughters" no authority has ven
tured to say.

oriqin of the Opera.

The opera, like nearly everything
else interesting in the world of mind,
had its origin in ancient Athens. The
earliest librettos were by Sophocles
and Aeschylus, such as the "Abamem-
non" and "Antigone," band of flutes
and Tyres constituting the orchestra,
the dialogues being musicalIy declaim-
ed and the choruses sung 70 the best
music of the time Thus do we have
the germ of all later developments in
the line of opera.-Exchange.
