Dangerous Aerial Clide Annually P er­
formed In India.
India offeta many curious things In
the way o f rellgl i. and the strin g e n t
of them all is the aerial slide, which U
performed annually nt Kulu. in the
H im alayas. At n point w here there Is
a clilT overhanging n precipitous gorge
several him«rod feet In width and a
hundred fe d In depth a rope Is made
fast to the mck. The other end of this
Is carried across the gorge and there
secured to a stake. The total length
of the rope between the two points Is
when drawn taut 2,600 feet, and the
end attach e I to the • HIT Is several hun­
dred fee! higher l lu a th at fastened on
the opposite side o f the ravine. Thus
a slide Is contrived, and il Is a d an ger­
ous one to all appearance.
It Is down this incline that the per
form er has Ids path.
Fo r the lofty
Journey a sort o f caddie Is provided
made o f wood, with holes iu II, through
which the rope passes. But before n
start Is made the whole length o f llie
rope Is wet to prevent the saddle from
catching lire from the friction. The
perform er sils astride th is scat, and to
his legs are fastened bags o f sand,
which serve two purposes they enable
him to m aintain an upright position
during Ids lightning like descent, and
they Increase the momentum.
The
lower end o f the rope Is carefully
wound with bits of carpet to check ihc
speed before tbe stak e Is reached.
W ithout this precaution the perform er
would be dashed to pieces.
The terrific velocity o f the descent
for the first few hundred yards Is
shown by the stream of smoke th at
trails from the wake o f the saddle, d e­
spite the fact that the rope has been
wet. A fterw ard the Incline dim inishes
som ew hat, amt the pace becom es co rre ­
spondingly slower. By the lim e the
goal Is reached the Jtaerl, as the per­
form er Is called, is able to come to a
standstill without d isaster.
This slide In the air Is supposed to
reveal the will of the gods as to the
crops o f the approaching season.
If
the perilous trip Is accom plished In
plentiful harvest Is assured.

The town o f Medford, Mass., l i a s a
legend of a phantom ship beside which

runs that a ship laden w all rum ami
gold and silver bars put out from that
place in the days when the Spanish
main was infested w ith pirates.
It
was headed fo r a W est Indian port,
but got Into the doldrum s and w as s<>

of thirst and starvation.
W hen the
wind cam e up again the ship sailed
aw ay with her ghastly crew , was seen
by a buccaneer, chased and over
hauled.
The pirate captain m ade fas! lo his
prize without firing a single shot, and.
attributing the vessel's nonreststance
to fe ar or lack o f arm s, he w as the
first man to leap on board. Bill the
rope with which tbe captured ship
had been carelessly lasbe.l to his own
parted under the strain o f the seaw ay,
and he found him self rapidly borne
nwny from his com rades on w hat he
soon discovered lo be a floating coffin.
A stiff breeze filled the sails o f the
derelict, and before his own vessel
could overtake It night des. ended on
the ocean, and the pursuing ship I >st
sight o f It altogether. Left alone in
pitch d arkness on the grewsom e < raft,
the pirate w ent mad w ith terror and.
seizing the wheel, raced aw ay before
the wind and. aecordlng lo the legend,
was condemned to range the sens fo r­
ever thus in command o f his horrible
prize.
.Woe to the ship that encountered it
scudding along by moonlight or In the
lightning’s glare, manned by sk eleto n ,
and steered by a shouting, g e sticu lat­
