The Face of a Watch.
JOHN A. COCKERILL

We believe it was George Augustus
Sala who once said he would think
himself safe in betting five pound note
that not more than one person out Of a
score could tell correctly, off-hand in
what way the hour four is represented
on a. watch or clock dial. Most people,
without looking, would say ", instead
of iii. And why should it not be "?
Well, here is the story. The first clock
which kept anything like accurate time
was constructed by certain Henry
Wick, in 1870. 1t was made to the order
of Charles Y. of France, who was called
1.-THE WISE Wise he certainly was in
some respects, but he did not know
everything, though he liked to pretend
that he did. When Wick brought him
his clock, he looked closely at it's move
ments for some time. "Yes, it works
very WE'LL" he said at length. but you
have got the figures on the dial wrong"
surely not, your Majesty" said Wick.
ayes, that four should be four ones. !"
"You are wrong, your Majesty" 81 am
never wrong" thundered the King.
@Take it away and correct the mistake.
Wick did as commanded, and SO to this
day we have ILL.,, when we should real
Iy have ". 1t is not generally known
that watches may be used as compasses,
vet such is the case. Point the hour,
hand to the sun, and the south is exactly
half way between the hour and the
figure XII on the watch. For instance,
supposing that it is four O'Clock. Point
the hand Indicating four to the sun, ana
1T on the watch is exactly south. Sup
pose that it is eight O'Clock point the
hand indicating eight to the sun, and
the figure X on the watch is due south.

with good effect is called the co. trick. 1t
can be introduced by saying: II will show
you the trick in a Ettle different form, so
that you may see just how it is DONE"
(This, like most of the remarks of he con-
jurer. is misleading, as the trick is entirely
different, and instead of enlightening the
audience, only confuses them so that they
are further from solution than before.)

THE TRICK EXPLAINED.
The secret of this trick lies in the TACT
that no matter how many cards are in the
piles at first, after adding three from eacn

movements. This is because the story told
during the performance of each trick not
only heightens the effect marvelously, but
also serves to direct attention away form
the performer just at the moment when
his hands are engaged in solne 'slelght.
The story or speech which serves TO sur
round tricks is called the .spatter.' and 1T
is most important that this part of the
trick be carefully rehearsea. The magician
is simply acting a part frem the time he be-
pins until he makes his final bow, and all
the words and actions OF that part should
be practiced over and over again in order
to acquire the ease and grace necessary to
finished performance.
The use of the wand is also important.
Aside from the fact that custom has decree
that no sleight- of-hand performer is prop
erly equipped without the use Of this little
stick, it will be found valuable in Disgusting
many necessary movements OF the hands.
Last, but not least. it gives ease to the
movements and saves the beginner the dis
comfort arising, from not knowing what 10
do with the hands.
USE OF A TABLE.
Performers of the better class get along
without the use of special table, but many
of the best tricks require that some provis-
ions should be made for getting rid OF OF
producing some of the articles used. In
the regular magician's table the hidden
shelf at the back called the seIyante is SO
used, bat for drawing room entertainments
a black oblong box, twenty inches long,
twelve wide and six deep. can be placed
OH the table. and the space back of ii used
for n srvante The presence of the box
arouses no suspicion ii the performer
opens il occasionally to take to some article
used in the trick, such as a pistol or pack OF
cards, 1t is also well to have portion of
the back made to fall down tsee fig. y. as
it may be necessary to get at the interior
privately. Such a box can also be used as
a carrying case for apparatus.
The first trick to be considered is brand
new one, which has never been done by
any magician, great or small. This fact
should not disc ourage the beginner, for it
is a simple one, and even if it were more
difficult, the fact that the young student
could by acquiring it offer feat which no
observer could by any possibility have seen
before should be sufficient to recopense for
considerable diligence. In this case, the
performer takes a pack of cards from the
table, steps forward and says: Ladies and
gentlemen, will first call your attention
to test in mental biography. or thought
transference. 1 do this in order to place
myself safely in touch with my audience.
as such a condition is absolutely necessary
to insure the success of the experiments
which follow. AS require an assistant, l

The Engine and the Man.

once had curious and instructive
conversation with an engineer who hac
charge of large stationary engine
II was beautiful engine and worked
as true as steel could work. The man
surprised me by telling me that it lad
been at work 90 years, "and do you
know" he added, ''it has had s mas
ters; am the eighth who has had the
care of it; the others are either dead
or worn out, and yet it goes on as if it
were as young as ever Very strange,
sir, ISM it, that an engine should
live so much longer than man; and
it is not hard work for us either, or
exposed work, for the room is always
warln'and comfortable aud light"
"What did the men die from ?''
asked.
"Well, three or four, l am afraid,
died of drink, another of bad temper,
another of worry, and so on, but the
engine went on all the same" The
fate of the engine, its long life and
continued industry, puzzled the man:
He often in his lonely hour thought of
it, and wondered how many men
would follow him before the engine
began to break down. II did not
puzzle me. That engine works great
many hours in day truly; but it was
eeuable in its work; it never ran loose,
it was true iD its vocation; it was
bright as new pin. clean in every
point; it was served with best but
simplest fuel food: it had its furnace
tubes clear; it was saved from friction
by having its parts properly oiled; and +,
drank nothing but water, SO it lived on
nearly three generations, with a good
chance of living through three more;
it was allowed, in fact to make the
most Of its physical life.
Its masters did not make the most
of their lives, they might have been
somewhat industrious, but they WEI
not SO orderly, SO true, SO steady, SO
clean as they made the engine, they
did not make the most of their lives,
aud therefore they stopped, but the
engine went, sill merrily, on its way.
