Then more drops fell and the insect was at

Then the gum hardened and the insect was

SHADOW RARBIT.

The actors come in front of the lamp, and
their shadows are thus shown wildly on the
sheet their bulk increasing and decreasing
according to distance, When they jump over
the lamp from behind their shadows appear
to descend from the roof, and when they
jump back again-that is from the sheet
their shadows appear to vanish into the sky.
The actors may he dressed in various fan
tastic ways; for instance, an old man may he
represented by boy in his fathers great
coat, lettering along by aid of a stick; an old
woman may be played by little Kate or Jen-
ny in grandmothers bonnet or shawl, and
Tiny Toddles may be made TO appear as q
miniature clown by means of paper cap
and n large pair of knickerbockers with legs
stuffed. In this way amusing scenes have
been performed; the more activity displayed
by the actors the more fun. Tables, chairs,
etc. may he introduced, and much merri-
ment is caused by one boy jumping over the
back Of another and vanishing ut each Jump.

Ammonia In Baking Powders.
Scientific american.

Among the recent discoveries in science
and chemistry none is more important than
the uses TO which common ammonia can be
promptly put as leavening agent, ana
and which indicates that this familiar salt Is
hereafter to perform an active part III 'he
preparation of our daily food :.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceeding
ly volatile substance. Place small portion
of it upon knife and hold over name anu
it will almost Immediately be entirely de-
veloped into gas and pass of into the AR
The gas thus formed is simple composition
of nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue Is
left from the ammonia. This gives 1t its SUI
periority as leavening power over soda and
cream If tartar used alone, and has induced
its use as a supplement to these articles "A
small quantity of ammonia Is effective IN
producing bread that will be lighter, sweeIer'
and more wholesome than that risen by any
other leaveung agent When it is acted up
on by the heat of baking the leavening gas
that raises the dough is liberated. In this
act it uses itself up, as it were; the ammonia
is entirely diffused, leaving no trace or re
siduum whatever. The light, fluffy, faky
appearance, so desirable in biscuits and ETC.,
and so sought after by professional cooks Is
said to be impaired to them only by the use
of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manutact-
urers producing the finest goods that have
been quick to avail themselves Of this useful
discovery, and the handsomest and best
bread and cake are now largely raisen by
the aid of ammonia, combination Of course
with otl err leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known pro
ducts of the laboratory. If, as seems to be
Justly claimed for it, the application of its
proprieties to the purpose of cooking results
in giving us lighter and more wholesome
bread biscuit and cake, it will prove boon
to dyspeptic humanity, and will speedily
force itself into general use in the new field
to which science has assigned it..
