Senator Pettigrew, who at one bound

hold the string. 1t is b, in effect, which has
become the closed end of the double spiral
line.
The operator who is doing the trick keeps
the supplemental end Of the string in his hand
or unrolls 1t on the table, according to the
position of the pencil, whether it is in A or
b. With only few spirals the trick is soon
detected. A supple piece of Irvine three or
four yards long should be used, which will
permit Of great many spiral lines. The
best trained eye than cannot detect any diff
ference between the two.
This trick and the preceding one have re-

a table in such way that the two extremi-
ties of the closed circuit-a b and y
cross each other al right angles, after their
centers have formed two rings-m and II.
Then invite one Of those present TO place
one of his fingers on the table in the in
terror of the circuit, so as to prevent you
from regaining the string. Nine times out
Of ten he will place his finger in the square
space Zig. y, believing that the finger is
in the interior. But he will sonn realize
his mistake when he sees you pull away
the string without its being held by his
finger.
You will be asked to do the trick again,
and this time you ask that the finger be
placed so as to let you withdraw the string.
The amateur then invariably replaces it in
the same space, Y, certain of being success
full this time. You pull, and 10! his finger is
encircled by the string. of which he cannot
rid himself except Fitting his finger from
the table. The whole secret consists in this:
In the first instance you must be careful to
avoid letting the two pieces, and b, cross
each other. In the second instance, on the
contrary, by an imperceptible movement of
the hand, you turn the knot between your
fingers; the two lines of string are thus
crossed at the point before forming the
square K. This crossing, very apparent on
our plan, where we were forced to repre-
sent a string of limited dimensions, will
pass unnoticed when you operate with a
string of the indicated length.
Double a string, making one end about 80
eentimeters as inches) longer than the
other, hold the two ends between the thumb
and the index finger after having folded the
surplus of the longer end to your hand.
Then spread your double string in the form
OF a spiral line upon the table, the ring in
the center, and avoid crossing the two pieces
and stop when the end of the shortest piece
rests on the table. You will have in your
hand the end of the longer piece; do not
show it. Ask some one to place the point of
a pencil in the blind alley a, formed by the
ring; it is clear that if you pull on the two
ends the spiral will be destroyed and the
string will he held by the point of the pencil.
Reconstruct the spiral as before, but when
the end has been laid on the table make one
more turn by means of the end of the long
piece of string, indicated in black in the pic
ture.

PERHAPS FATALLY INJURED.

An Experienced Horsewoman's Exper-
fence With a Vicious Animal.
A morning drive in the park, yesterday,
cost Mrs. Effie NJ. Norris, one of the most
ACCOMPLISHED horsewomen in this city, her
arm and perhaps her life. Mrs. Norris is
one of the leaders of Philadelphia society,
and resides at 1902 Locust street, says the
Philadelphia Record. The shocking acct
dent, which was witnessed by Captain
Chasteau and hundreds Of Mortified pleasure
seekers, on the park drive, occurred within
the shadow of the Lincoln monument at the
foot of Lemon Hill, at II o'clock
Mrs. Norris is frequent equestrienne on
the river drive, and is usually accompanied
by groom. She was seen, as usual, about
IL o'clock canIerlng toward the Lincoln
monument Captain Chasteau had passed
her Just preceding the accident. In a
moment afterward he was startled by cry
and the dash Of a runaway horse. He at
once saw that Mrs. Norris was the rider,
and lie made an efflrt TO stop the flying
steed. Before he could do anything, how
ever, the lady was hurled with terrible yio-
lence from her seat.
The horse had become frightened and
balky, and had endeavored TO unseat his
rider by rearing backward, but failing in
this, had made wild plunge up the drive.
The luckless rider, after being thrown to
Ine gEounu, was urhSgeu ny ner hablt
hundred yards before the skirt gave way
and released her. The incident thrilled
every spectator with horror.
Park Guard Ii. Williams conveyed the
unconscious woman to the public boat
house, where willing hands improvised
couch of boat cushions The park ambu-
lance was summoned, but before it arrived
the cushions upon which the injured
woman rested were soaked with blood. She
was carefully placed on the swinging cot
and conveyed to her residence, and Dr. j.
William White was sent for. lie found
that his patients left arm had been so terri
bly, crushed that amputation was necessary.
After the operation DR.. White said that,
although suffering from the amputation and
internal injuries. Mrs. Norris was doing as
well as could be expected, and might re-
cover.
