A String Made of Salt.

Suspend from the ceiling a thread
which has previously been soaked in
very salt water. and then dried. To
this fasten Il light ring, and announce
that you are about to burn the thread
without making the ring fall. The
thread VII burn it is true. bat the
ashes it leaves are composed of crystals
of salt. and their cohesion is strong
enough to sustain the light weight Of
the object attached to the thread.
Another form of the same expert
ment is to make a little hammock Of
muslin to be suspended by four threads,
and after having soaked this in sailed
water and dried it, as before directed,
to place It in an empty shell. Set the
hammock on FIRE; the musling will be
consumed and the flames reach the
threads which hold If, without the egg

KelIar's New Trick.

Kellar's new trick, called 'The
Cremation" produced at the Bos-
ton Museum recently, is described as
follows: The story is that in Olden
times a native Indian woman re
moved the vail from her face and re-
vealed her features to a Christian.
The penalty for this oflense was
death by fire, and the poor girl was
burned alive. The Christian secured
the services of an old sOrcerer, who
obtained the ashes, and invoking the
powers of the dark arts, produced
the girl again, alive, unframed and
happy.
As Kellar viii produce the act the
audience first sees the executioner
dragging the girl to the stake. She
pleads and screams for mercy, but
there is none. The girl is pulled to a
table about three feet square and
about four feet high. This table,
which is of iron, is surrounded bv
very coarse woven wire, and is the
creamatOry. The wire door is open,
and the girl is forced to get upon the
table and inside the inclOsure.
Her hands are secured to a hOri-
zOntaI iron bar above her head.
The audience can plainly see under
and over this table, and through the
woven wire. The executiOner touches
a lighted match to the young wO-
mans gown and in an instant she is
envelOPed In flames. Remaining un-
til the form settles into ashes, this
very cheerful gentleman takes his de-
parture. The necrOmancer then ap-
pears. Carefully securing all the
ashes from the iron table, he places
them in an iron chaIice at the other
side of the stage. He pours upon
them some powerful liquid, when
there instantly arises from the chal-
ice a thick vapOr or smoke. Presently
there Is discernible In these fumes the
gauze of the Indian girls dress; the
Vapors grow thinner, and gradually
the girls form becomes visible.
Finally the fumes all clear away, and
the young woman, restored to life
again, steps smiling from the chalice.

IEUbinstein's Photographic Treasures.
Rubinstein, the pianist, has many
photographs, but none that he cher
Ishes more dearly than one of which he
is accustomed to relate the following
tale. He was, at the very outset of his
professional career, about to give his
first concert at town in Russian Po-
land. Rubinstein sat at the box office
all day, but not a single person came to
buy tickets, and the yc1ng musician
had sinking feeling at his heart. At
last, however, a Polish Jew entered, and
threw down a rouble, asking for six
seats. This rOuble proved the first of
many thousands of coins that the artist
was to pocket during his career. Years
afterward Rubinst6in again passed
friendly Jew of old, and had him photo
graphed. This counterfeit the pianist
would not part with now for many rou-
bles.-New York Tribune.
