Adam and Eve and Shc
Apples.

Newspapers are getting up a
discussion about the number of
apples eaten bp Adam and Eve
in the Garden of Eden, for lack
of something better to talk about.
One exchange makes the result as
follows "Eve s and Adam 2, ii
total OF 10 only" Another gives
it eve 8 and Adam Salso ;,total

figures entirely wrong. arguing
that if Eve 8 and Adam SO, cel-
tainiy the total will be 80.
Scientific men, however, differ.
Some reason something like this:
eve 81, and Adam 80 total

bullets produced iloudin chose
one which he openly put in the
pistol, and it was also ramned
down. BY the same process the
second pistol was loaded. Every
boiy watched with the most pros
found solemnity. Houdin posted
himself fifteen PAGES from the
Marabont without evincing the
slightest emotion. The Marabout
immediately seized one Of the pis.
tolls and, on Houdin's giving the
signal, took a deliberate aim at
him. The pistol went Off and the
ball appeared between the magi-
cian'S teeth. More angry than
