SOME CURIOUS EXPERIMENTS.
Illusions of the Senses In Men and
Animals.

Illusions of the Senses In Men and
Animals.
Among the many curious optical IL.
lusions produced by contrasting lines
and forms, some Of very astonishing
character occur, for which 10 satisfac-
tory explanation has been furnished.
If q card perforated by a pinhole be
placed close to the face, resting against
the nose, as shown in the Illustration,
and pin be held by its point in such
way that it's head comes between the
eye and the pinhole in the card, the
pin being held quite close to the eye,
the pin, strange to sag, will appear
on the other side Of the pinhole, re-
versed and magnitied. You see the pin,
in fact, not as you hold it in your hand,
but through the perforation, on the
outer side CT the card. It will be found
necessary, unless you have exceptional
" firm nerves to rest the hand holding
the pin against the cheekbone, for the
difficulty is to get tie pinhead directly
between your eye and the perforatlon
in the card, AID to hold it there With
out waveripg. I must confess my ina
bility to explain this illusion, nor have
met with any explanation that seem
ed to meet the case fully and at every

bound n with the leaves Of the book.
This IL called notwithstanding" and
has long been q favorite amusement
of collectors.
Books Of travel, or stories of hunt
Ing, fishing, ETC., may be beauufully
Illustrated by photographs. Unmount-
ed prints are to be desired, although
it is possible to take prints off mounts
by a liberal soaking in warm water.
The soft-finished photographs. such as
bromide and platinum prints, are vast
~ better than the shiny albumen prints.
Photographs should be mounted IN
the same way as other prints, except
that no openings are to be made IN
the mounts. The prints should be past
ed on fiat and pressed until dry y IA, AZ,
up. and it will require pretty stlH
paper to keep them fiat. This is one
Of the reasons why platinum or pro-
mide prints are so much better. Wnen
albumen prints are used they must pe
mounted wet, and should afterward
be FURNISHED. which can be done by
any professional photographer. An
amateur photographer can have tne
fun in many cases of making the pic
lures himself for the book he wants
to extra-iilustrate, and the finlshed
work will have an added interest ana
value to him. -.
The use of photographs, especially II
many are included, will greatly IN
crease the thickness of book, ana II
will generally be found advisable TO
have the binder make it into two vol
umes of equal size.

the end hangs down over it's eyes the
fowl will remain in a cataleptic con-
dition and finally pass into somnolence

movements without giving any signs
of life; Or if pigeon be pressed gently
upon table SO that it cannot use it's
wings. and finger be placed before it's
eyes and moved back and forth, fol
lowing the motion Of the head, SO that
tie eyes must continually notice it,
the bird will soon become quiet. and
will not fly away when the hand is re-
moved. II a frogs forelegs are tied to-
gether and the sides of the animal

when laid upon its back, remain per-

Coco's Downfall.

The old saying, pride goes before a
fall" always reminds me of an olo
rooster my grandmother once owned.
She lived on a big farm in Mercer
county, Ohio, and, naturally enough.
she raised many chickens and other
fowls. There was one handsome old
rooster among them named Coco. who
was very proud Of his bright, line
feathers, and considered himself lit
tie better than the rest. He strutted
around the farmyard, never delSnlng
to notice the other poor fowls except to
fly angrily at those who CHANGED to
come too near his royal highness.
Sometimes he could not restrain his
hoastful feelings, and would perch
upon high boxes and boards and crow
Justify. He seemed to think he couid
take as many liberties as he pleased.
and was always getting into places
where he was not wanted.
Grandma had large can of molas-
ses which she kept in the summer
house, with other provisions Coco,
besides being a dude, was something
of an adventurer He managed to get
into the house when the folks were
away, and stepped boldly upon a lard
can. But the lid tipped, and Mr..
Rooster slid into the molasses.
He struggled hard to get out, but the
harder he struggled the deeper he
sunk He had given up despairingly
when grandma arrived, and by great
effort succeeded in releasing him, then
took him out to the pump and washed
him.
But, oh, what a woeful sight was
that once brilliant bird He presented
the appearance of fretful porcupine.
and he looked, oh, so respondent! He
went humbly up to the other chickens,
but they scorned him and would have
nothing to do with him. Whenever he
came near they would peck at him and
chase him away.
Finally, after many attempts at
friendliness, he decided upon an awful
step. He walked slowly to the well.
and. after one sad, reproachful glance
at his fellow-roosters, committed sui
eide by jumping in. The we'll was
ragged and the body recovered. No
coroner was called, and it was never
known whether death was accidental
or Intentional, but the impression was
that it was the latter.-Margaret Roe
buck, in Chicago Record.

A Pin Trick.

point. IF small perfcration be made
in a thimble, such as, indeed, often
occurs frop, long and constant use,
of that Indispensable household artl-
Gle, everything seen through it, the
letters on this column, for example,
IL the thi1nile is slowly moved over it,
will appear greatly mGgnlfied.
A very curious optical illusion may
be made to occur with tie help of the
accompa cying Illustration. Let white
card about the size Of al ordinary bust
ness card. or smaller, according to the
focus of the persons eyes who tried the
experiment, be placed along the dotted
line between the bird and the cage,
on it's edge lengthwise. 1t must be
turned to the light, so that the card
throws no shadow. Let the middle of
the end Of the nose be placed on the
upper edge of the card. and after a
few moments STEADY looking the bird
will be seen to enter the cage.
Place 2es between the first and Sec
ond fingers Of the right hand in their
natural position, and you will feel the
pea as one. Cross two fingers bringing
the second over the first, and place
the pea in the fork between them so
as to feel the left side Of the pea with
the right side of the second finger,
and the right with the left Of the first.
The impression will then be that you
have two peas touching the fingers,
especially if the eyes are shut and the
fingers placed in position by another
person. The illusion will be equally
strong if the two fore-fingers of both
hands are crossed, and the pea placed
between them.
If chicken in a sitting position on
table be gently pressed with one hand
upon the supporting surface, the head
and bill pressed down with the other
hand the fowl will remain perfectly
powerless in the position given it for
so.ze time after all restraint has been

No Comforts for School Boys Long

No Comforts for School Boys Long
Ago.
Only sixty years have passed since
the boys Of Elton ventured to beg. that
pipes might be laid in some of the
school buildings SO that they need not
fetch water from the pumps in the
freezing winter weather. and the petit
ton was promptly rejected, and the
scornful comment that ''they would
be wanting gas and Turkey carpets
next" At Winchester, another big En-
glish school, all the lads had to wash
in an open yard called Moab" where
half a dozen tubs were arranged around
the wall, and it was the duty Of one
of the juniors to 60 from tub to tub
on frosty mornings, and thaw the ice
with candle. Comfort was deemed
. bad thing for boys. lest they should
grow up dainty and unmanly. "Cold?"
said DR.. Keate. famous headmaster
Of Elton. to poor little bit of human
ity whom he met shivering and shak.
Ing In the hall. Don't talk to me of
being cold You must learn to bear it,
sir! You are not ut girls school,

Two Dog. and Their Ways.

On little farm down in Union
county, Kentucky, there is an old Ger
man who has large number of cats
and two very smart dogs. One of
these dogs is Scotch collie named
Ring. The other is what is commonly
known as "yaller dog" and is called
Nickel.
When he finds a fresh mole burrow
he mashes down the earth on it with
his paw, and visits this place for sew
eral days, to make sure that mole
passes through it every day. When
he finds that he is right he goes to the
burrow about the middle pf the day,
because moles always move at that
come along. When he comes there he
is generally mole. killer.
Ring spends most Of his ti1ne hunt
ing rabbits, and is generally very sue
cessful. But Nickel has short legs and
ever catches a rabbit. But, for all
this, he has rabbit to eat as often as
Ring. When Ring starts out for a
hunt Nickel follows at distance.
When Ring catches a rabbit he buries
it for several days, and Nickel general
~ knows where it is buried. So. when
Ring has buried his rabbit Nickel turns
grave-r;bber and removes the rabbit
to his own graveyard. He is too smart
to steal every rabbit that Ring catch
es, for he knows that if he does he will
soon be caught.
In cold weather Ring. Nickel >and
eight or ten cats all sleep as close to-
gether as they can huddle. and in this
way everybody keeps warm.-Robert
S. Millett, in Chicago Record.
