In order to avoid the spear, and u make it appear to pass through his body the assistant doubles up in as His legs small a form as possible are drawn up close, with the chin rest ing upon the knees and the arms folded round the lower limbs across the shins. When in this position at the fiftieth breath the spSar passes under the attendants arms between the abdomen and the thighs.

In this trick the Hindu fakir has his assistant get into a sack, the mouth of which he firmly secures, and then unceremoniously hurls his helpless victim to the ground. Without a sign of warning the fakir drives his spear through the center of the bag. After withdrawing his weapon, upon s the point of which no blood stain appears, the fakir stands and gazes dreamily over the heads of the spectators. The body within the bag flounders about as if in mortal agony. At last when the occupant is apparently dead the fakir again plunges his spear into the motionless body. The same antics are repeated. Then the fakir releases his attendant from the bag and he steps out without a scratch upon his body. Although the trick is performed with all the carelessness imaginable, it calls for more patience, skill and exactness than any of the From the black art achievements. time the attendant enters the bag both fakir and assistant count every breath they take.

THREE BARTOS Americas Foremost Athletes so-call- ed centuries. , Moguntiacum was built by Drusus, the son of the Homan emperor Augustus, in the year 14 B. C. Upon the site of the ancient Roman., castrum or encampment near the city the excavations in question brought to light many interesting relics, including some water cisterms of Homan make. It was in one of these, which was located some twenty feet below the surface, that a damaged Homan clay pot was discovered, containing the shell of a broken egg and also a whole egg that had been kept from being smashed by a shread of the damaged pot, which covered it. The ancient egg was deposited in the municipal museum. About the time the scarcity of feathered talkers reached its height some one recalled that parrots in captivity had been known to lay an occasional egg. The dealers began to open their eyes. Then they proceeded to develop a brand new American industry which bids fair to do away with the importation of birds of the parrot family by raising them in captivity like ostriches or barnyard stock. The first attempts to produce a domestic supply of parrots' and cockatoos were made with incubators. This was unsuccessful. The eggs hatched, but the baby birds perished for lack of mother's care in feeding them, all young birds of the parrot family being fed from the parent birds crop, like doves or. pigeons. Efforts were made to feed the incubator hatched, birds by hand, but to raise a single parrot by this method almost required the services of a special nurse. Sitting parrots and cockatooes were then tried, and with greater success. The nesting room is virtually an artificial jungle in which the temperature, is I .
