There is servant girl in this town whose
Malapropian English is the wonder and
amusement of her friends. On one hot
morning her mistress inquired about the
weather.
IT'S cloudin up some" replied Mary,
';and it's dreadful sulky."

house, whom she admires very much, she
said:

How she ever made countenance into

of JerseY CITY.

A. T. Walters, a young chemist aud cleo
trician, who lives at 54S Summit avenue,
Jersey City Heights, entertained a few of
his friends some nights ago with biz of
legerdemain that Hermann himself might
be proud of. Seating one of the company
in the middle of the room. the chemist pro-
cured a mysterious. looking blac k wand
which ha began to wave about the head of
his subieet The face, neck and hands Of
the subject, who was of very light complex
ion, instantly began to grow darker and
darker until they were a very dark brown.
After the astonishment of the spectators
had subsidized the young chemist explained
that lis magic was but the result OF a very
difficult chemical reaction that he had been
working to obtain for a year. He had
washed the face, neck and hands of the
subject with transparent solution. Under
his own arm he had concealed small rub
Der bag OF gas, which was connected by
rubber tube with the black wand, itself
hollow tube, so that while waving the wand
be had elected the gas. AS soon as the gas
came in contact with the solution on the
skin dark brown compound resulted from
the reaction.
Mr.. Walters got the idea of his invention
while watching the transformation tricks in
one Of the Hanlon plays. His first expert
ment he made on the face of young Ger
man. IL worked perfectly as far as coloripg
the man was concerned, but the black would
not wash OFF and the German spent several
unhappy days trying 70 wear it off But
now Walters has worked on his compound
until it will wash off more easily than cork

companies are negotiating with him for the
exclusive use of the trick. Mr.. Walters is
