it into u tube an inch in diameter.
Apply it to tho right eye AMI look
steadfastly through it, focusing, the
eye on any object keep tho eye
open. Now place the left hand, held
palm upward, edgeways against the
side of the paper tube, and about an
inch or two above its lower end
The astonishing effect will be pro-
duced of Il hole, apparently of the
size of the cross section of the tube
made through the left hand. This
is hole in which we propose to
meterialize another aud smaller hole.
As We need genuine aperture, aud
it would be inconvenient to make
one in the left hand, let sheet OF
white paper be substituted theref II
and similarly held. Just at the
part of the paper where the hole
equaling in diameter the oriiice OF
the tube appears, make an opening
one-fourth inch in diameter. Now
stare intently into the tube aud
the second hole, defined by its differ
ence of illumination, will be seen
floating in the first hole, and yet
both will be transparent. The illu-
sion, for of course it is Que OF those
odd pranks our binocular vision

A STORY OF LOVE AND WAR.

Toward tho close of an October
day in l776, a vessel sailing in a
southwesterly direction crossed the
57th degree of North longitude
Her keel plowed tho waves Of the
North Atlantic, and her destination
seemed to be the Azores. She was
sailing before strong wind and the
arrangement of her sail indicated
fight If fight, from whom The
naked eye could perceive no pursuer
on the bosom of tha ocsln bat the
sen glasses, leveled by u number OF
British officers who graced the clean
decks, revealed dark specl on the
watery rim of the Mort hern hori-
Zon.
The distant object occasioned
much anxiety among the officers
A silence which had reigned among
them for many moments was sud~
denly broken by q man whose bear
ing proclaimed him an English adj
miral.
"He still follows" we're the words
that fell from his lips /; "but with
the help Of Neptune veil outsail him
in the night"
Though the officer spoke with
much assurance, there lurked in his
tongue latent fear which his COM
panions detected, and exchanged
significant glances.
Over the face of the deep, night
was settling, and the vessel kept
straight before the wind to the Joy
of its commander who had lately
spoken. The shadows gradually
veiled the far away pursuer from
sight, and when the officer separated
expressions of triumph were or
their lips.
The British vessel was the Meteor
fast sailor, whose armament consist
cd Of twenty-eight guns. She was
a we'll built double decker, and had
seen much service in the war which
had ragged almost three years be-
tween Great Britain and her Ameri'
can colonies Her speed and her
formidable armament shad made hei
terror TO American vessels in Flu
ropean waters. Her commander,
sea~born Englishman, named Gull
deroy, was an officer OF undoubted
courage and cunning, TO which he
added vindicitiveness that render
ed him obnoxious to many of his
own crew.
The Meteor was flying from o new
and very formidable foe-aying with
hold filled with booty. On the
day proceeding the one that has just
closed upon her in fight she had just
captured an American cruiser, after
. spirited contest. whe prize had
proved one OF value, and Captain
Guilderoy did not wish to risk an
Engagement with the vessel follow
