FIRE EATERS.
The Trick Of Breathing Flames and
Sparks From the Mouth.

The Trick Of Breathing Flames and
Sparks From the Mouth.
Fire tricks were practiced in very
ancient times. The first known fire
breather was a Syrian slave named
Eunus, q leader in the Servile war In
Sicily, 100 B. G. He pretended to have
immediate communication with the
GODS When DESTROYS Of inspiring his
followers with courage he breathed
flames and sparks from his mouth.
In order to accomplish this feat Eu-
nus pierced a nutshell at both ends,
and, having filled it with some burn
ing substance. he put 1t in his mouth
and breathed through 1t. The same
trick is performed today in a more
approved manner. The performer rolls
some fax or hemp into a ball about
the size of walnut, which he let's
burn until 1t is nearly consumed.
Then he rolls around it more fax
while 1t is still burning BY this
means the fire is retained in the ball
for long time. He slips this ball
into his mouth unperceived and
breathes through it. His breath re-
wives the fire, and he sustains no in
Jury so long as he inhales only through
his nostrils.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for other feats of this sort
performed by the ancients. An old
! ordeal was the holding Of a redhot
iron by the accused, who was not
burned IL he were innocent. Probably
some protective paste was used on the
hands. The peculiar property of
mineral salts, such as alum, in pro-
tecting articles of dress from fire has
long been known. An old Milanese
devised costume consisting of
cloth covering for the body which had
been STEPPED in alum. A metallic
dress of wire gauze was added to this,
and thus protected 9 man might walk
on hot iron-Harper's.

attached any Importance to the astrol-

london,s Dramatic censors.

London has had its absurd dramatic
censors even If it cannot quite come up
to Vienna. Colley Cibber in his auto
biography tells us Of one master of the
revels who was responsible for the H.
censing of plays in those days expung-
ing the whole first act of Richard III"
on the ground that the distresses of
Henry VI. would remind weak people
of King James, then living in France.

MIGHTY ARcTuRus.
II This Star Were Our Sun II Wou'o
Instantly Consume the Earth.


The parallaX of : 'r Is It's Angular
displacement as seen from TWO OPP
posite points on the earth's orbit. Inc
base line employed in this gigantic spe-
cies of surveying Is 1S6,OOO,ooo miles
in length, but the calculation Is re-
duced to the semidiameter of the orbit
The results are at the same time amaZ-
ing and instructive.
Let us take the famous star Arc
turus, often called the "star OF JOB
because in the Old Testament the
Almighty is represented as saying TO
the unfortunate patriarch. who NAM
tains a certain dignity in spite OF his
helplessness and his sufferings, "Canst
thou call forth Arcturus and his sonsF
Many conflicting measures OF the
parallax Of Arcturus have been made,
but the latest made at Yale seem more
probably correct than their predeces-
sors. They fix the parallax at DOGS
seconds. e., sixty-six one-thousandth
of second Of arc. From this 1t Is
easy to calculate the distance OF the
star. 1t comes out at nearly 100000
OOO, 200. 900 miles two hundred and
ninety trillion miles,. This is more
than 100000 times the distance of
the earth from the sun.
Having this distance, we can calcu-
late the actual amount of light shed by
Arcturus. or in other words. its ac-
tual brightness as compared with that
of our sun. on the supposition that
both were at the same distance from
us. We thus find that Arcturus ex-
ceeds the sun as light giver about
$500 times! 1t is sun $500 times
brighter than ours.
Put the earth as near to Arcturus
as it Is to the sun and all life would
disappear from it's surface as IL swept
off by blast of inconceivable heat
The summer temperature would rise
to tens Of thousands of degrees. The
oceans would boil away. Vegetation
would be burned up in twinkling
The eyes of living beings would char
in their sockets. The plains ant
mountains would burst into flame
Minerals would run in molten streams
There would be no comfort for liv
ing world nearer to Arcturus thar

spectful distance. And yet nearly

WHEAT CROP
Will be above average and
small fruit in abundance
this season.

Fine wheat crops and a beautiful
yield of small fruit, except peaches,
are predicted by NJ. C. Rankin, Com
missioner of Agriculture, in his crop
report for April, which was issued this
week Wet weather has retarded
the planting Of tobacco in some dis.
tricts. but on the whole the report is
decidedly optimistic. Following is the
report
Although the month of April has
been warm and the conditions of the
weather for growing crops favorable,
yet on account Of the excessive rain fall
generally throughout the State and the
floods which has been reported from
different sections of the State, farm
work and farming have been greatly
retarded, and the crops planted in the
spring are at least two weeks late in
the State generally. and in some sec
tions month late.
The winter months and the spring
have so favored the fall and winter
sown crops that they are in extraordi-
nary conditions, and will, with a good
season, equal, if not exceed, the crops
Of last year
With all the work that the depart.
ment has been doing to encourage the
farmers to SOW alfalfa, we find that
more than half of the counties of the
State fail to report any alfalfa in the
county. Our reports show that where
it has been tried that good stand has
been secured and that good results are
obtained. With alfalfa growing in
every county in the State we could
reyolutionize Kentucky in one year.

experiments in the right way and fol
