The Diameter of a Circle.

Comparatively few persons are aware
that the diameter of a circle or a pipe
with an area equal to that of any two
other ones may be found by means of
nothing but the square corner of a
board and a rule, without the aid of
any calculation. The process consists
simply in laying off the two diameters
on two edges of the board and meas
uring diagonally from one to the
other. fla carpenters square is handy
the process is reduced to the simple
diagonal measurement. In case there
are three or more pipes to be led into
one. any two of them may be converted
into an equivalent one, and this one
may be added to the other.-BoSton

Ii is safe to assume that when in this
Suntry the chat Mt a general gathering
turn. on conjuring and coniurers the
name of Robert Heller will be mentioned
very early in the conversation. Probably
there is no corjurer whoae name is better
known or whose memory is greener In
America than this most charming OF en-
tertiiners. The fact that looked at strictly
from the ST. ndpoint of a performer or
soniuring tricks, Heller stood by no
means at the head of mis- profession, de-
tracted not particle, and justly so, from
his reputation which perhaps, was
rather enhanced than otherwise by reason
Of it. This seeming paradox is easily eX-
plainable. 1t was not, as will be shown,
until comparatively late in life that Heller
seriously adopted the conjurer's profes
sion and he naturally found himself some
what Handicapped in the race with his
rivals In some way he had to make up
for his want Of purely technical skill, and
luckily nature had made him capable OF
the feat He was born actor as well as a
skillful musician, and was toe skillful
comedy acting which he brought into play
while performing his ,ricos that helped
nim to perform the hardest part of every
trick, the dstracting the attention of the
audience at critical moments. Towards
the end of his life it is true Heller became
an adept in skillful sleight of hand, and
l remem Der. seeing him at supper party
take full glass of wine, a d standing at
the table shoulder to shoulder with some
OF the other guests, apparently throw 1t
eut of sight and shortly after produce it
still trimming full from the shirt bosom
OF one of his neigh bors. This little tOuT-de-
force, by the way, is favorite one with
many performers when they find them
selves at dinner or supper table, the sue
oesslul performance of the trick depend
ing entirely on their skill in attracting the
attention and diverting the gaze ot every
one in the room at the critical moment
when they pass the glass behind them or
under the table

ly on mechanism for its effect. Like many
tricks which are still popular, and this
particular one was not many months ago
a prominent feature in the younger Herr
mann's programmes, it owes its concep-
ton to Houdin. 1t was one of the few
feats performed by the Hindoo jugglers,
VIII ch for a time puzzled him, but subse
quently he discovered its mode of opera
ton and created sensation with 1t. Ether
had Just then been discovered, and with
that histrionic ability which in mis- case As
in Heller's was the secret of his success,
he made use of this fact as the basis OF the
little comedy he played. As in the main
his performance was in every particular
similar TO those of later corners. | shall
describe it in some details His son, Il
young lad was led on to the stage attired
IN tight fitting costume aud placed
standing on stool. Under each arm was
placed a stout stick A show of admins
tering ether was made and the boy appar-
emily reduced to insenslbility. Then the
stool was taken from under his feet and
eventually one of the sticks, leaving him
suspended in the air with one arm lightly
thrown over the single stick. He was
then lifted into horizontal position in
apparent defiance of the laws of gtaylta-
ton and means taken TO show tnat he
could by DO possibility be suspended from
above or supported from beLeath Subse-
Quently the supports We're repl iced and
the lad awakened from his sleep This is
how it was, and still is done with occasion
al Slight variations due to the fancy OF the
individual performer. One of the sticks
is what it appears TO be, and Is handed
round for examination, the other Is OF
iron and has "A hole sunk III one end, the
other end fitting into an iron socket in the
stage or platform, The lad wears under
meath his dress an elaborate arrangement
of light but strong STEEL similar to that
shown in the drawing. Az will be appar-

when he is in an upright position The
rod &C" which is jointed at I'd" so a. to

sire angle. The pin So OF course fits in
to the hole in the end of the upright rod
1t will be apparent that when the lad
mounts the stool the pin "g' is placed in
he hole and to all intents and purposes
the frame work is "A part Of the upright
rod and the lad is simply sitting in the Stir
rup. All subsequent mHnouVreS Of the
performers are merelyto distract the audi

We have recently passed through an
epidemic of pneumonia of particularly
severe type, which has removed from our

child, But, with the serious nature of the
epidemic and the number Of cases, the
mortality has been very slight. Two have
been between n and 50, aud two had
chronic lung disease There have been
80 cases within the village. all except four
nave been within the tire district. and of
these nearly all have been of ylrulent

hat the disease should be closely con
