brass rings We're hammered into the

Take a quart bottle and break the bot

THE FLOWER TRICK.
Twopot filled with sand were placed
on separate tables, with drapery reach
ing about one foot from the floor.
They were exhibited for inspection. A
large, empty conlcal-shaped funnel
OF pastebOard was also exhibited,
to convince every one that II
contained no rose bush, (but
kcllar does not lift the curtains that
cover the tables the flower pots stand
on, If ne did, he would give the snap
awav) kellar kept the audiences at
tention rive ed on the pots by his talk,
and kept moving around the tables.
Presently he dropped the large funnel
over flower pot No. and as he with
drew il a rose bush was disclosed. The
act was repeated with pot No. ,. This
trick is like the rest and can be done
without practice. Two extra tunnels
grading down To smaller sizes, so that
the second would MT neatly into the
FIRST and the third into the second were
concealed behind tha curtains on the
table. Each funnel contained the rose
bushes. Kellar, while appearing to
dangle his blg empty funnel about,
clapped it down, first over the one sec
oud IN size which remained, after the
bush was deposited, then he clapped
both down over the third or smallest
funnel and deposited the second bush.
Wnen you see Kellar do the flower
trick, when he makes the dip behind
the table, that is the time he gets the
rose bush, so ask him TO let you see in
side of the funnel before he puts it on
the flower pot and also ask him TO let
you see the back of the tables.
CHANGING WINE INTO WATER
and back to wine and back again he
learned from me and it is a chemical
trick which | have explained long ago.
The chemicals are oxalc acid, agna
amOnia, tunic acid and tincture of
tran. Take eight glasses; put six III a
water pitcher full of water, enough
water in it to TO fill those eight glasses;
take a small teaspOOnful Of tame acid
and put It IN the pitcher Of water; put
five drops of tlncture of iron In the
bottom and inside of every other glass.
also take one small teaspOOntul Of
Oxalic ACID and dissolve in water and
leave It on the table and take one
spoonful of aqua ammonia IN the other
glass. The tanlc acid IN water will
turn IL or bleach IL back white
again, or into water, and the ammonia
will turn il again into wine or red color
Be careful 50 that no one will drink 1t
Us It Is dangerous. Next IS
TIE HAT TRICK.
Kellar gets a silk hat and wand and fif-
teen CONS in the left hand and in the
right hand one, and when he pretends
10 drop one IN the hat ne palms II and
lets one fall from the left hand inside
until they are all in the hat. Ask him
% let you sec both hands and you Will
discover the simple trek at once. Then
ne goes To the small table aud dumps
all CONS on a small plate, and while do
ing 81 he picks up s small bundle with
iaby's clothes and puts them n the hat.
Watch that motion and you Will see
hm do 10. You vii see that there Is
always a chair at the left of the stage.
Behind the Caalr ne has fastened a
small bundle OF candy. When he lays
the babv's clothes over the back OF the
chair and after ne picks up the baby
clothes he also picks up the candy with
70. Ask him 70 let you see the back of
the char. Next comes.
