! wiiter in the New York World who
think the materializing" manifestation,

these feats. We take the following from
his article:
In the - Lives Of the Necromancers," by
" iliiam Goodwin Q.ondon, 1880, there J.
an account Of coniurer at the court Of
Nenccsiaus, King of Bohemia and after
wards emperor Of Germany. On one oc-
casion this person, Zilto hy name, exhibited
his extraordinary skill to the court He
showed himself first in his proper shape and
in those Of different persons successfully
with c1untenances and a stature totally
different from his own. At one time he

and silk. and then in the twinkling of an

skill, he invited them home with him. lie
then conducted them into an inner room,
when presently, 10 their no small surprise,
they saw a tree spring un in the middle Of the
apartment. They had scarcely ceased wonder
i1- at thi, phenomenon. when. in q moment.
there appeared three dimiuu,iye men. with
little axes in their bands for the purpose of

him. There was great crowd. and vim
dictiye looking fellow came ont from it and
claimed to have the honor of killing the
hated Frenchman. The pistols were
handed to lioudin, who called attention to
the fact that the vent was clear. The Mar
about put in a fair charge of powder and
drove the wad home. Among the bullets

down. By the same nrocess the second

On floGdin' giving the signal, took deli
berate aim at him. The pistol went of and
the ball appeared between the magician 5
! teeth. More angry than ever. the Marab0ut
seized the ether pistol. " You could not
iniGrc me- said Houdin. " but You shall
see that my aim is more dangerous than
yours, Look at that wall" lie pulled the
trigger, and GA the newly whitwashed wall
appeared large patch Of blood exactly at
the spot where he aimed
The Marahlut went up to it. dipped his
finger in the blood. and raising it to his
mouth convinced himself of the reality
When he acquired this certainty his arms
fell and his head fell on his chest. rs if he

the moment lie doubtcd everything. even the

feat lipudin performed by means Of prepared
balls. With bullet mould and Bit of

bullet OF the same material he had filled
cd with blood. OF course, it was a sleight
o! hand shat he changed the bullets foscel
upon Lin hy the Mlrabout and substituted
lis own. An old rick enabled him 30 get
the real ballet between hi, teeth while the
waxcu one WAS chattcrcl 20 pieces. So with
the second ball it was shattered upon Strik-
