The Sack Trick.

With reference to a controversy which is going
on about the wonders of Spiritualism, L express
no opinion here, but it is necessary to remark
that because a thing appears to be impossible it
does not follow that the accomplishment of it is
supernatural. For instance, what can be more
marvellous at first sight than the sack and box
trick which conjurors sometimes perform! A
man Is put in a sack, the neck of which is secure
ly tied up with string and the knots carefully
sealed. The sack is then placed in a box which
stands on a platform above the stage the box is
locked, and numerous seals are placed on the
cracks where the lid closes. How utterly incredi-
bic it seems that a man can free himself-that is
to say until one knows how it is done. The first
idea which will occur to the inquirer is that the
prisoner falls through a trap door and is released
below. This, however, Is impracticable, for a
trap in the platform and another in the box
could scarcely be made so neatly as to avoid de-
lection and besides, visitors are invited to place
strings, sticks, &C., below the platform, any dis
turbance in the positions of which could be de-
tected. But how is it done? Very simply in
deed, darkness being secured. The sack is made
of an elastic 6brous stuff through which the cap
tive can easily make his way without disturbing
the neck and the hole through which he has es-
capped closes behind him in consequence of the
elasticity of the material. He is now free in a
sealed box and what does he do next? The top of
the box is so constructed that when a spring is
touched it turns easily upon a rod inserted longi-
tudinally through the top. There is, in fact, a
false top, some inches above the apparent top
where the locks and seals are. They remain in
tact while the false top is now swinging loosely.
A second touch of the spring when tie captive
has slipped out securely fastens the false top.
The lights are turned on, spectators are sum-
moned to look at the seals, which have not, of
course, been touched the seals are broken, the
box unlocked, and there is the box in the empty
sack, while, to the amazement of all present,
who do not know the secret, the man who was so
firmly entrapped steps forward upon the stage.

SIX ACRES BETTER ruAN E1n.ru

SIX ACRES BETTER THAN FIFry.-AU
over our country we are raising pitifully
small crops from large fields Time, labor
and capital are sunk in fruitless toll. Is
there not Il better way? An extract from
the Rev. j. ~ Glenn, Rockdale County,
Georgia, suggests the answer. Mr.. Glenn
says:
"In 1922 was intimate in the family
of MIR. William Hudson, Hancock COUNTY,
Georgia. often observed a six acre lot
upon, which he raised every year fine crop
OF wheat. The crop of 1882 was the verv
best wheat | ever saw. Enquring into the
secret Of his success, he told me, in sub.
stance, that he had sown wheat in that lot
Tor over twenty-one years in succession
When he began with i. the land was worn
and thin. The secret Of its redemption and
surprising productivencss was, that he be.
gan by spreading over it, in June, n heavy
coating OF manure from his gin and horse
iot' preparatory to sowing peas Having
broken the ground deep, the peas were soon
growing !uxuriantly. When the peas were
about fifteen inches high, the first Of Octo-
ber, he turned them under and sowed two
bushels of wheat the to acre, narrowed and
rolled the ground The first year he made
good crop. When it vas harvested bo
sowed pOas as beforc-turning The heavy
stubblc deep under. Again in October he
turned his peas under-sowing wheat and
treating the ground as before. And SC,
with a few interruptions, he had been doing
for twcnty.one years. He never failed to
make good crop, and used no fertilizers
except what was furnished by his lots, the
stubble and the peas. lie told me that ho
never had -four to buy when he concentrated
on the six acres; when he trusted to fifty or
hundred acres on the common p'ao, he had
flour to buy"
Are there not many such experiences and
observations, showing that six may be bet
ter than fifty ?-Monroe Enquirer.
