He Bwallotra thr Lighted Clfr, to th Consternation of III Kreper. ThoreVnn a performance In tlic or "trlch department of tliesyiitlicnteshows the other tiny, says the Tucson (A.T.) Star, which had not been advertised. It took the plaee of thestronp-nmn fea ture which was advertised but didn't come oft. Sanunie Hughes was stand ing near the ostrich conservatory mak ing n scientific study of the birds and smoking n freshly -lighted ten-cent eisar. An ostrich suddenly lengthened his neck about a foot and removed the eisiir from Mr. Hughes' mouth aud swallowed It. lire aud all. The lencrth of an ostrich's neck furnishes a wonder 'u opiKjrtunity for a lighted cigar, and it burned every inch of the way to the prompting of his Indiscriminate appe tite. A geutlemnn connected w ith the show in the capacity of elinnilet timid for the ostriches saw the cigar disap pear w ithin the bird's bill. He accused Mr. Hughes of having made a voluntary vVt,0T.r,,T:: WHICH wuh licmifi juui.ii mi showing that the spiritual trainlnc ot this great educational menagerie is not what it is cracked up to be. He threat ened to eject Mr. Hughes from the prem ise?. Mr. Hughes tried to explain that he was the chief loser by the transac tion and that the whole thing was an affair between himself and the ostrich. Deputy United States Marshal I'zefciel nho began to say that the ostrich had brought the trouble on himself. The showman pushed Mr. I'.zekiel aside, and the oflicer was compelled to exhibit his sun as his badge of authority. In the meantime the cigar had been extin guished in the bird's giz2ard, and he seemed to have forgotten the episode of the cigar and was looking longingly at au empty soda-water bottle which lay on the ground just out of reach. TRICKS IN HIGH DIVING. Kspertd llo Not r.nn an Many ISUks a 3lot People Supptwe. --"i'.'- i . most iteoplc who think the subject, said Kent-! "What bothers aiivthinff about nev I Speed v, a hiprh diver, who, re cording to the New York Herald, began his public career by jumping-head first from the St. Louis bridge four or live years ago, "is how a dive of lifty or six ty feet can be made into a tank of thirty-six inches of water. You see they confuse diving with bridge jumping quite a different thing. Bridge jump ers are neither jumpers nor divers they're droppers; that is, they reach the lower rods of the bridge truss aud drop feet foremost into the water. The trick is to maintain the perpendicular. They must have plenty of water under them. too. The high diver, as you have seen, makes a clear dive, head first, just a boy does from a springboard in swimming. 1 do it in very shallow water. I weigh, stripped, one hundred and eighty pounds, and never do any training. 1 have been diving from the top of a circus tent all summer into a tank but seven feet wide and into water but three feet deep. The shallow water dive is possible from the same principle that a cannon or riile shot meets the most resistance the more powerful the impact. You see, I glw my body and head a slight inclination upward at the instant I strike the water, which causes me to pop out os a board would do or an oar on the feather. I learned this trick in the St. I.ouis natatorium when a boy practicing in shallow water and from a greater height. Then there is a certain elasticity in the water known to the high diver, but the trick is in the strike and turn, for water will break liones and crush chests, as many a man knows." BOYS ARE CRITICAL. In Wrltlnjf Stories for Thcra Authors 3Imt lie Sure of Kaet. In an interesting article on "How to Write Stories for Hoys," in the Writer, James Otis, the popular juvenile writer, gives an amusing illustration of the necessity of accuracy in stating facts in lioy's stories. "Carelessness in stating alleged facts," he says, "is a serious offense in the eyes of the boy. He will forgive a glaring improbability when it is boldly lalwled fiction; but you deliberately insult him when you state that which he can ascertain from books of refer ence is absolutely incorrect. This is best illustrated by an exiierience of mine in connection with one of my bonks. "The incorrect statement made was regarding the depth of water at a cer- tuin point on Tampa bay, and I gained my information from an old chart of tin Florida coast, carelessly giving no heed to the fact tlmt there might Ik- ii h.t r publication bearing on the sub ject. In less than thirty days from the issuance of the book four letters were n (.fivcii from as many readers, uiwiiicii the mistake was ixjinted out,. ith more or less sarcasm as to the wisdom of the author. "The latest coast mirvey hnd discov ered that this particular portion of the ( bay was dry at lou water, and nt least four boys hud made themselves ac-, (juainted with thliat fact. "It was an error such as an older reader would have passed by unnoticed, . or with a smile of pity because of the author's ignorance; but a boy does tint allow anything of the kind to go with-1 out rebuke, aud always rememlKirs it to tbe disparagement of the writer," Jl b IIUnil.VfiTOK.
