evidencesit will make an argument 30
strong that even that enthusiastic laborer

But these jugglefs could do some very

you completely. They have one trick
that tho slight of hand performers In this
country never have been able TO initiate.
1t Is called the mango trick. I did not 30
it but other men have witnessed the per-
Torrance and I cannot doubt their word
The mango ID very delicious fruit about
the size Of Bartlett pear, with favor

It and covers 1t with q cloth. Then 10
sits down beside It, reaches his arms I'M

working with his hands, singing low
song. After while he raises the basket,
and you see mango plant ten or twelve
inches high, growing where only . law

You think, perhaps that he had the plant
in III basket and set It out; but II yea
had examined the basket or the cloth you
would have found no plant concealed.

to grow. In . few moments he raises the

Do you ask how II IL donel / have mot

il seems to DO reality. II they could pro-
duce plants in that way they. could beat

But nature heats these jugglers at their

performer in the world cannot do what
nature is doing right before our eyes all
