THE MYSTERY "sHE" EXPLAINED.
There has been a great deal of comment
among the visitors at the Exposition about
the illusions as exhibited daily by MIR.
Morris, and one Of the illusions. "She" is
particularly mystifying. In this a woman
is seen to appear and disappear at the
mouth of shallow urn. which, TO all ap-
pearances, is floating in the air with no
support whatever. Mr.. Morris has given
a DISPATCH reporter an explanation OF the
illusion. and for the benefit OF the nu-
merous inuuirers the scribe decides to
give ii away.
The urn and the woman, Mrs. Morris,
are exactly where they appear to be, IN
spite of the theories to the contrary, but
are viewed through plate glass at an
angle of 80 degrees. from the top and
front of the opening to the floor at the
rear. The urn has no bottom, as appears,
but from the lower edge hang black
draperies which conceal the lower part of
the woman's body. The draperies, though
in the line of vision, are invisible to the
spectators. Behind the curtain (Which is
not drawn and near the floor is an urn OF
the same dimensions az the one seen by
the spectator. 1t is in front Of the in-
clined glass. behind which are the woman
and the other urn. A powerful light is
cast upon the hidden urn, and it's image
comedies with the urn in sight The con-
cealed urn having bottom, the visible urn
also appears to have one.
The black draperies which conceal Mrs.
Morris help to make a reflector of the
plate glass, which serves as q mirror for
the hidden urn, but at the same time the
woman is seen beyond 1t. The border seen
beyond Mrs. Morris is nothing moro than
an image, thrown up Just as is the image
of the hidden urn. The urn IN view, which
seems unsupported, is held up by an ar
from behind which could be
seen by the spectators If they got IN the
proper position. but the manner in which
the curtains are draped prevents this. The
trick consists in converting part OF plate
glass into mirror, the other part remain
ing clear.
