Mounting Photographs.

The satisfactory mounting Of photo
graphs is q troublesome operation, and
the following suggestion from a con-
tributor tc The Outlook may be Of assist
ance to amateurs: II have found a
method by which a photograph or en-
craving can be mounted on the thlnnest
paper without curling or wrinkling. If
the picture is a photograph, it should
be ironed out smooth with a hot iron
and then trimmed. Mix a little gum
arabic in hot water SO as to make a
rather thick mucilage. Place the pic
ture on the page in position aud mark
just inside the corners. Remove the
picture and take some of the mucilage
on a ruling pen and draw a heavy line
of mucilage from one point to another,
so as to make line of mucilage all
around the place where the picture is to
be. AS soon as the mucilage is sticky
put tho picture in place and a book over
it to keep it fiat. When dry, you will
have a smooth mount that will not
curl"

FORMATION OF SILVER ZINES.
How Nature Acc umulates the Greet Stores
of Valuable Ore.

How Nature Accumu1ates the Greet Stores
of Valuable Ore.
The process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very interesting. 1t
must be remembered that the earth's
crust is full of water, which %percolates
everywhere through the rocks, making
solutions of elements obtained from
them. These chemical solutions take up
small particles Of the precious metal,
which they find here and there. Some
times the solutions III question are hot,
the water having got SO far down as
to be set boiling by the internal heat OF
the globe. Then they rush upward,
picking UP the bits of metal as they go.
Naturally heat assists the performance
of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus form
ed, p~erpetually flowing hitler and thith-
er below the ground, pass through
cracks or cavities in the rocks, where
they deposit their loads of silver. This
is kept up for a great length of time
perhaps thousands of years-until the
assure or pocket is filed up, Crannies
permeating the stony mass in every d1-
rection may become filed with the pre-
cious metal, or occasionally a chamber
may be stored full of it, as if a million
hands were fetching the treasure from
all sides and hiding away a future mine
for some lucky prospector to discover in
another age.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

HOW BULLETS ARE CAUGHT.
One of the Most Mystifying Conjuring
Tricks Neatly Explained.

OA0 Va kHS NAOoS
Tricks Neatly Explained.
Speaking of the bullet catching trick
in particular, Professor F. D. Hewes,
who is also a dealer in the art mystic,
said:
"There are literally but few tricks in
magic. The so called new ones present
ed to the public from time to time by
our leading magicians, c%onjurers or
whatever they call themselves, are SIM
ply the revival of some old experiments
clothed in new form. The catching Of
bullets is not by any means a new trick,
for it is almost as old as magic itself. l
remember seeing the old 'Fakir of Ava
perform the same trick, only in a differ
ent manner, when l was a small boy.
The catching of the bullet is easily ex-
planned. In the first place, to accomplish
it the conjurer must procure an old style
caplock, smooth bore musket, some pow
der, caps and a leaden bullet. All these
must be perfectly free from any decep-
ton. Now we come to the ramrod.
Therein lies the whole mystery Of the
trick. It is constructed with a small
metallic tube closed at one end and so
arranged as to become detached from
the end of the ramrod at will.
Having explained the construction
of all the appliances, we will now pro-
coed to do the trick. The gun, bullet,
powder and caps are freely given for
examination. The performer requests
some one to put the charge Of powder
into the gun. Next he inserts a small
piece Of paper and rams it down. and
by a twist of the ramrod to the left the
small metal tube is dislodged from the
point and remains within the gun bar
rel. Now the bullet is marked and
placed in the gun by one of the audi
ence; again the professor rams it down
Now, by a contrary twist, the metal
tube becomes fast to the ramrod SO that
in withdrawing it the bullet is re-
moved.
"The performer now palms the mark
ed bullet and all that remains to do is
to 80 through the motions of catching
it when the gun is discharged, and the
spectators are thoroughly mystihed.
You see, it is all very simple when you
know how. Boston Post.

He Lost His Job, but Made Sure of His

"In a play produced in the provinces
there is a scene in which the hero strikes
the villain, who sinks away without
seeking to defend himself.

leading man before the curtain rose:
"eI say, old chap, I've got my fancee

mother. Now, of curse they don't

I'm afraid it would rather hurt me with
them if I received a blow and got away
