tied to apost by the neck by Mf. ;
Langhton. the sceue was drawn before
bin and in about three seconds he
walked out aud shook habds With ths
Governor amid n round OF a1plause.
He exposed tha trick by simply emitting
the rope with knife aud substituting
another in it's place. In showing hnx
a child's hnnd could be made tn touch
ones face in the dark when both hatdS
of the medium were held. he illustrated
the trick with the Governor. Il L. dund
by slipping Off the shoe and touching
the dupe's face with the foot, which.is
covered with sock rcathing billy to
the instep. He was tied and hand
cuffed by the committee in several diff:
ferent ways aud freed himself In few
seconds. He had no trouble in Slipping
the manacles. which were furnished
from the sb~FiaTp Office All rthes6
tricks were quite neatly done. He II!
,strnted the ballot test with Superfts

tracted the real ballot was read under

fordcd considerable amusement to tho
audience. Ie produced thfee hahds
above the screen by means Of stuffed
glove held in the mouth forming the
odd hand. He blew the spirit horn
through his nose when his mouth was
filed with wine, amid a general roar Of
laughter. The sealed cabinet dooys
vere shown to be simple tricks. His
best trick was in causing writing TO ap-
pear on the inside of double State
which had been sponged off by the
committee lie showed now the writ
ing which had been done with steel
pointed instrument, disappears with
the moisture from the sponge but comes-
out like pencil lines when the slate Is
dry. Causing n slate pencil to move
over slate OF its own accord Is done
by first grinding the slate rs thin as
paper; a pencil is next reduced to pow
ier and gum tragacanth and iron fll-
ings mixed with it moulded into the
shape Of n pencil. The writing Is then
done underneath with n magnet which
guides the mngnetized pencil above the
slate causing It to move seemingly as Il
by an Invisible hand. There was no
