THE ART or JueeLeay.
So Thoroughly Exposed the People Have
Lost All Interest In It.

LOST All ht1Ac IN IL
New York Mail and ExpresA
THE art of jugglery has not advanced
much within the last twenty five years."
painfully admitted a superannuated
Wi ard TO a reporter. Indeed, it has
nearly all been thoroughly exposed,
and the very minute methods by which
wonderful results were attained appear
nov as easy as making a coin disappear
from the closed fist. So much for sci
ence and civilization
What will be the result, do you
Think
Some of the results are palpable now.
The old sleight-of-hand man has almost
passed away. The wonderful cabinet Of
spirits, which at one time astonished
the world. it has been proven, was
nothing more nor less than q trick in
which confederatcs participated. Heller,
HOudin and the Davenport brothers all
were exposed. What is left for the pro-
fessionah to do is the question. They
cannot all turn sword-swallowers, or
knife. throwers, because that requires a
lifetime Of practice. Some new de-
partures will have TO be taken in which
the cabinet does not appear, and the
tricks of Houdin and Heller are omitted.
This is essentially the age of realism,
and therefore the tricks in jugglery will
have TO far succeed in cleverness any
that we have ever seen produced. When
a wizard has "a stage of his own he can
produce startling effects which defy
superficial investigation.
''But the TIM has arrived when super
fetal investigation is never carried on,
but instead such a searching and pro-
found n Is performed that the little
apparatus designed 10 assist are taken
into consideration and removed. The
game is eTectually blocked Heller,
with his wonderful memory, could do
many strange tricks, and Houdin was
considered wonderful by the learned,
and supernatural by the ignorant. All
they 10th did is perfectly plain now.
Come new method, in my opinion, as
sisted by science and electricity, will in
a few years be discovered TO delude and
create speculation as the cabinet and
many other tricks did for many years.
The horse-play jugglery of the present
doesn't amount to much. The Japanese
do astonishing tricks, but there is moth
ing mysterious about them, since their
tricks depend altogether on their per-
sonal agility and years Of constant prac,
tice.
"All of the tricks and jugglery Of the
present day must give way. 1t no longer
entertains The people want something
they can see into, so they will not go
any more. to witness cabinet trick per
formances- Who viii open up the new
field remains to be seen. But that the
times arc ripe for il no one can doubt,
and who the wizard will be to cheat the
eyes and physical investigation of an
intelligent and seeptical public is a
matter Of conjecture.

Philip King furnishes the following
novel plan Of promoting the growth Of
watermelons. Dig a hole in the ground
a short distance from the young melon,
place in the hole an old vessel that will
hold water and keep it filed. Place a
ball Of yarn in this vessel of water,
carry the end of the thread to the stem
from which the melon grows, split the
stem and put the thread through it. If
the vessel is kept full of water the
thread will convey enough moisture to
the melon to keep il growing, and the
melon will not ripen until the string is
removed or cut of.

Every good librarian, every private
book-owner, who has grown into his
library, finds a bunch of nerves going to
every bookcase, a branch to every shelf,
and a twig to ever bunch. These nerves
get very sensitive in old librarians,
sometimes, and they do not like to have
a volume meddled with any more than
they would have their naked eye han
died. They come to feel at last that the
books of a great collection are a part,
not merely of their W property
though they are only the agents for their
distribution, but that they are, as it
were, outlying portions of their own or
ganization. The old librarian was get
