An Unsuitable Substance,

One of the most remarkable pro-
ducts of French ingenuity, at the
present time, is a fbrous substance
called cellulose, and which, by some
secret mechanical process, is obtained
from the ordinary cocoauut husk.
When compressed it's specific gravity
is far less than that of q cork-it is
claimed, indeed, that it is the lightest
solid known, and, therefore, of pecu-
liar value for life belts and the mat
tresses while in large quantities it's
buoyancy would render large ves-
sci absolutely non-sinkable. 1t is
adapted to the filing of compart-
ments in a ships side, in this way
serving to prevent water entering
through a hole made by q projectile
or rock, for the simple reason that
the instant the water enters the cellu-
lose is expanded by it to an impene.
trable tightness; it does not decay or
emit any odor, and has been packed
in a ships compartments without
undergoing change of any descrip-
ton. If, too, a mass otthis cellulose
be penetrated by a p%rojecetile it will
not be ignited by the friction.

that the modern magician follows closely
in the footsteps Of the ancient exhibitors
Of automata, and that in all cases the
effects are due more or less to trickery.
No matter how intricate the machinery
used. the secret of their working is very
simple, and the human brain and hand
really produce the effects. Yet, while
during many years mechanical figure,
have amused millions, the secrets Of
their construction have been SO jealousy
guarded that no public explanations Of
them have been heretofore made. +
Nearly every modern prestidigitateur
now adds an exhibition Of the Hindoo-
stani black art to his programme. They
also use mechanical devices, as well az
appearing and disappearing figures.
These latter illusions are caused simply
by deftly removing black coverings from
the objects that appear so m~ysteriously
in the uncertain light o replacing them
to cause the disappearance.
Ancient magicians were credited with
supernatural power. Modern exhibitors
of the black art have made no such
claims, and in view of the simplicity of
many of their tricks it is wonderful that
the public has been 8 o long mystified and
the secrets SO well kept. JEROME.

is but fair to add that the tolerant society
Of Washington does not insist on the
swallow tail coat for evening during the
unreasonable festivities. A good many,
even of the young men, appear to their
lady friends, in response to formal cards,
in unceremonious frock coats of fimsy
material, and quote poetry about hot
weather in extenuation of the solecism.
And the ladies flock to the dance and
the dinner in their lawn suits just

bit of extra lace or SO. The cast iron of
etiquette melts when the thermc meter is
