Ix.!noN. March 15. A dispatch
from St. Petersburg says six students
were arrested on Tcwskl Prospect
near Anitchkln Palsce. having in their
nnascssion a Quantity of explosives.
Tie were awaiting the coming of the
rrtfen Wi vy to trio rainciimi to
take 1 art in the anniversary service.
Tond's r.nrait I'sed alike by the
ieill''l profr ioa and tbe people. It bold
'( Men beld ! T tio olVr tn!'-in D this
tVomen Athletes. '
Many people have been at ft loss to
know where the female athletes learn
the art by which they earn a liveli-.
bood. A professor has a private gym-
nasium in' an uptown street at which
many ol the queens of the air are in-
structed in the science of. hanging by
their toes and gobig through various
other acts well known to the frequent-
ers ot tho circus and the variety thoa-
tre. A reporter for a New York paper
had a long talk with this professor on
tho subject a day or two ago. When
lie entered the studio be found the
professor instructing two young wom-
en in trapeze inniueiivreH. The
visitor was invited into a pri-
vate rocmi as it is ngnitisfc tbe
rules for any ono to bo presen
wbilo pupils are taking lessons. The
rooms were decorated with poto-
;rnphs of the shining lights of tlio pro-
fession whom tho professor has fitted
for tlio business. ATter t ho lesson
wan over tlio professor took the
Mcriiio tliroii'h the different apart-
ments. "I nni tho only man in the
city" said he "who instructs Indies
in the art of performing on tho Ira-
pe."." "I suppose a person must be very
youn nnd supple nt the first start to
ninki) anything liko a uood aero-1
but?"
"That's wliero you are entirely
wrong sir. Any woman emi become a
good performer after a proper course
of training if eho bo healthy and not
too stout. It is nil mechanical and
can bo acquired only ty corihnint
practice. 1 have ladies coino to
me who areunytliini:l)iit gr;tet:tuiana
by following my advice mid hu-ch-lions
closely they have become first
class performers and are now enrnmit
good Mrilaries. Many (ail be::nusei)iey
can't stand the hardship inseparable
from t he first lew days' practice. After
t ho initial lesson they decline to rake
the rest of t'no course. Nine persons
out of evevy ten uive it tip after
tho first le.-.-on. If they would only
keep on the pain would gradually dis-
appear. Tlio first lesson consists of
bnno'inn bv the hands and swintrinctO
and fro across tlio room which 1 have
them to do in order to satisfy myself
of their strength. They generally
swiiii? across twice and fall upon a
feather boi. Tho next liguro is to hang
from tho bar by tho hands. After tliey
have cone so fnr.they take hold of the
ropes and slide up into a sitting posi-
tion. After a few moment's rest I
make them get down by reversing the
motion.
"When I have procresscd thus far. I
teach them to liana by their knees.
This is not ouito so difficult as the
previous lesson. After they have gone
tli couch this motion several times
they feel like Roing home. When a
woman has gone us far as tins with-
out complaining much it is pretty
Bitfe to say she will succeed in the pro
fession she has chosen. Most ot tlieni
t hink every muscle in the body bus
been severed."
"How lonu does it require a woman
to become proficient?"
Tha i depends entirely upon tne pu-
pil; but I can generally toll what the pu-
pil will amount to as a performer af-
ter I have given her two lessons."
"Do you ever have any accidents?"
"Very seldom; I always look out
for them. Slim womon generally make
the mout scientific performers."
An Unsafe Trick.
Some of the small boys down town
have adopted a novel but rather dan-
gerous trick which they play' with "
great success upon their older and un-
suspecting neighbors and even the
day patrolmen get taken in. The boys
procure a piece of wire twelve .to six-
teen feet long. They fasten one end o!
it to the electric light wires and the '
other end is hitched to some object
that will keep it taut. It is generally
placed over the sidewalk in such
manner that the passer-by cannot
but help take hold ot it. The trap is
not put up till the begihing of dusk .
because it is pot effective until the
electric wires are in operation. Then
it is put up and the boys hide near '
by and await developments.
Soon an anwary traveler comes
along and seeing the wire stretched
across the walk just above his bead
reaches up to pull it down. No sooner .
does his hand touch it than he drop
It with a howl of pain and he is erect-
ed with roars of laughter from the i
boys who stand at a dist ance. Our
readers will readily see the cause for
the unfortunate man's pain. The
electricity which passes over the pieco .
of wire is what causes bint to drop
it so suddenly. Ol course it is not so-
strong as on the main wires. If it
was the person touching it might be
instantly killed. As it is the practice
is very dangerous and should be im-
mediately stopped. Already several
persons have been caucht by the sim-
ple trap and the other dav one of
the policemen grabbed hold of one of
th small wire lr the-purpose l
ruilin it down and the electric ihoi-k
be received was pretty severe. 11
sufTered from the pain nemly all
