One of Houdin's tricks.

From the Saturday Review
The great Robert Houdin went by
royal command to Saint Cloud, as he re-
lates IN his Condolences, TO give a
show before Louis Philippe and his fam
lily. In the course of this show he bor-
rowed six handkerchieis from the
audience. The various members of the
audience wrote down on slips OF paper
the names of places whittier they would
ike the kandkerchiefs to be transported.
This done, the conlurer asked the king
to choose three Of these slips at random,
and from the three TO select the place he
preferred. Come said Louis Phil
hppe, s'Iet US see what Is on this slip. Il
should like them to be found under one
of the candlesticks on the manilepiece. "
That is too easy for wizard: let us try
again. L should like them to be found
on the dome OF the Iavalides. That is
too far, not for the handkerchiefs, but
for Us. All! you viii, [ fear, find it
difficult to comply with the request on
the last slip" The request was that the
handkerchiefs should be found in the
box of the last orange tree on the right
hand Of the avenue at st. Cloud. The
conlurOr expressed his readiness TO com
ply with the request, and the king IN
mediately sent eff a party of men TO keep
guard over the orange tree. The con-
Juror put the handkeTchiefs under a bell
of thick grass, waved his wand, took up
the bell and showed d white dove IN
place Of the handkerchief Then the
king, with a skeptical smile, sent orders
to the head gardener to open the box of
the grange tree chosen, and to bring
whatever he might find there. 'Sj
toutefojs ID D trOuUe gueiqae chose. :"
This was done, and presently there was
brought in an iron Golfer, covered with
rust. "'Welln cried the king, ''here we
have a Golfer. Are the handkerchiefs in
it?' aYes, sire, replied Robert Houdin,
''they have been there a long time. " "a
long time, when 1t Is only a quarter of
an hour since they we're given to you?'
"What, sire, would be the use of magic
if it could not perform impossible feats?
Your majesty viii be surprised when /
prove to you that the Golfer and its con-
tents have been in the box of the orange
tree for sixty years" The king now OBJ
served that a key was needed to open
the box, and Robert Houdin asked him

This was key as rusty as the Golfer
which it opened, and the first thing
found in the Golfer was a parchment

Couquering the Misplaced Switch

FROM the NorYlch Conn BulleUn-
Mr.. Daniel Mccarthy Of the New
London Northern Railroad, one OF the
best section masters IN this p TT of the
country, has Just invented a switch
which does away with the V-shaped
frog, lessening the chance for an acci-
dent where the main tracks and side
tracks meet, and forever abating the
danger Of a misplaced switch. By his
invention the man line of the track is
1lade continuous. and the switching is
done by moving the side rails up to the
main line, which they overlap With a
lip, and as they are slightly higher,
easily take q train off, The ends of the
side track are set upon q hinge or pivot
and are held IN place by a strong spring,
which viii yield only to the hauge OF the
wheels Of a train passing on the main
line. Hence, IF the switch Is left on
the rapidly passing train IN the oppo-
site direction does rot shoot off the
track, but keeps the line, the side track
yielding automatically as the train pass
es. One OF the new switches has been
manufactured and thoroughly tried at
Palmer and works TO charm. 1t Is 90
simple N construction and works so per
fectlY that one wonders that this was
not the first invention for switching
trains instead of the last,
