\ Trick with Fire.

Did YOU ever see cOniurer hold up
a bit OF white paper, touch match TO
it, aud have tiny flame start in the
center of the paper and wind around
until it had drawn the outlines of an
animal or spelled somebody's name.
and then die out. leaving the lines
burned in the paper as though they had
been cut out? 1t probably seemed
very wonderful to you, but it is easily
done.
Take some saltpetre and dissolve in
water until the water will take up no
more. Then with wooden point such
rs the sharpened eud of match. use
this solution n an ink and write your
name or draw pattern ON paper.
Any paper will do. bat unsized paper
will not show the mark when the liquid
dries, which it will very soon do.
How are YOU TO know where TO start
from? Make "A pencil mark at the spot.
When you are ready, apply TO the
mark a tiny coal or glowing stick that
is not actually ailame. lou will see
the burning spread until it has run all
along the line you made. and it will
mystlfy as we'll as amuse everybody
who watches 1t.
After YOU have learned to do it sue
cesslully. you can prepare a lot of pa
pers with queer patterns aud funny an
imals aud have them tackled mp on little
frames, and perhaps give little show

Printing Methods in China.

Shanghai is China's chief port, and
contains about 400 900 inhabitants, who
are under native rule, and the English
American and French settlements,
with 2jO 600 Chinese and 3. 900 foreign
er,, all OF whom are under foreign rule.
In that city tremendous Congrega-
tious gather in the mission churches.
and there are 10 be found the largest
Sunday schools in China. In Shanghai
is also the largest mission press in the
world. More than 1000 Chinese con-
yerts are connected with the different
missions.
In the mission press electrotyping
and stereotyping are cone and over
80. 600 600 pages are issued annually.
The total number of books and tracts
issued last year was 800, 1916
The Sbiui P0O is the best-paying and
most widely circulated of the three
native newspaper dailies OF Shanghai.
1t is an eight-page sheet printed on
the thiuest OF rice paper 1t is so light
that it does not weigh more than a
mans handkerchief, and SO thin that
the paper can be printed on one side
only.
The paper goes TO press in big sheets,
which are so folded that the blank side
is turned inward when taken in hand
by the subscriber, and so that there is
neither cutting nor FASTING Owing to
the thinness OF the paper il has greasy,
yellow appearance, and il is printed SO
closely with Chinese type that not an
inch seems TO be wasted
The headline or title of the paper con-
sists of two Chinese characters. taking
up a space not wider than one of the
columns of our newspapers and not
more than an inch in length.
Its price is 10 cash, which allowing
for the difference in currency, makes it
equivalent TO half cent of our money.
