This Is n Good Ono.

Amateur magicians, as well as anna.
teur scientists, will like the little ex-
pertinent that we are now going to de-
scribe, of turning water into wine.
Get two goblets OF exactly the same
size and shape and plunge them into
tub of water, holding one upright and
the other upside down. Hold them I'M
der the water until both are completely
filled and not a bubble of air remains
in them. Be careful about this. Then
while they are still under water bring
them together, brim to brim, one up
right the other inverted and lift them
carefully out. standing them in plate
provided for the purpose.
One goblet is now standing inverted
upon the other, and both are rull OF
water. Dry them carefully with a cot
ton cloth, and then move the upper
glass very slightly 20 one side so as
to leave visible barely a thread Of
water. II you do this skilfully and
gently the water will not run out.
On the foot Of the inverted glass now
place small glass filed with wine,
and having dipped into the water a
fiber Of tapestry wool or piece of can
die wick, arrange it with it's two ends
hanging over and down from the edge
of the wine glass. Capillary attraction
will now set in, and the wine will be.
gin to run down the fiber. dropping on
to the foot Of the inverted glass and
oyerlowing thence down the sides OF
the glass.
Thus the wine will run gently to
ward the brirns of the two glasses, and
| then, instead Of continuing its descent
It will flow sideways between the
| brims and thence upward into the in
| verted glass; so that, in few minutes
| the small glass on top will be empty
| the middle, inverted. glass will be full

A pANDrr OF TnE JUNGLE,
He Makes His Living by Sucking the
Hood From small birds.

He Makes His Living by Sucking the
BLOOD From small birds.
One of the residents of the jungles or
South America is huge, hairy bandit
that makes its living by killing and
sucking the blood from all kinds OF
small birds. A collector who was
down there recently had. a startling adj
venture In capturing one of these for
est robbers. He was looking one day
for new kind of hummingbird when a
tiuttering and faint cheeping close by
his side attracted his attention. A
small hollow tree was near him, with
an opening in the side about eight
inches across, and spread over this
was a dense white web. The upper
part of the web was broken a little
and securely fastened in it was dead
hummingbird of the very kind the ex-
plorer was seeking. 1t had been dead
but q little while. ii seemed, for It's
head hung limp and motionless. Near
the bottom of the web small gray
bird was entangled-a tomtit spending
it's winter among the tropics only TO
meet such a fate as this. Its wild
tiutterings had entangled it more and
more, but the huge gray monster, back
in the dark. evidently fearing that Its
prey would escape. had waited its OPP
portunity, and just as the traveller
looked around it sprung full upon the
poor birds breast, clasped its hairy
arms around the little fiuttering body,
and buried its horrible fangs in the
tender breast.
For an instant the observer stood still,
too much startled to move, while the
little head of the bird dropped help
| lessly and it ceased to struggle; then.
| recovering himself. he hastily prepared
| his chloroform and brought 1t gradu-
ally near. So intent was the creature
on holding the bird until it was quite
! dead that it did not attempt to escape.
Its legs relaxed little presently, but
| its fangs remained buried in the bird 8
| throat, and so it died and was caught.
| He had the sections of the trunk care
/ fully cut above and below the opening,
/ and that section stands in his cabinet
now, the strong white web. the two
! poor little withered birds entangled in
! it. and the great hairy spider still
| elinging to the breast of one, its fangs
never releasing their hold, even In
| death. This hairy monster Is known
| as the Mygale ayicularia. Its body is
two inches long and its great legs cover
| an expanse of seven inches. Ii has
terrible fangs folded under its head
and when in pursuit of prey or angeret
| it will leap great distances and sins
these fangs in the object Of It's attack

The release of Mrs. Castle was to be
expected. In fact, the only real in
justice done this unfortunate woman
was the enormous amount of bail de-
manded. Since the change in the laws
regarding verdicts in England two
years ago, the former verdict of mot
guilty owing to insanity is dispensed
with and the verdict guilty but in
sane" takes it's place. Therefore, in
the case of such a verdict Judge
would have no choice but to send the
prisoner to an insane asylum. This is
the reason why Mrs. Castle was rec
3mmended to offer a straight plea of
guilty. and then trust to just what has
happened, a discharge for medical
grounds"

The law OF increase is reiterated in
the history of the potato crop of the
Hudson Bay region, as related by the
Rev. Edgerton s. Young. He carried
with him to that distant land few
potatoes, the size Of walnuts, wrapped
them in cotton, and hung them near
a stove to keep them from freezing
In the spring they had shrunk to the
size of peas: but they were planted and
carefully nurtured. A pailful of fine
potatoes was dug in the autumn. The
crop the second year was six bushels;
the third year one hundred and TWEEN
ty-five bushels, which were divided
among the natives; until now thou
sands of bushels annually vary the
hitherto exclusive diet of fish and game
of the people of northern Canada.

Over in Switzerland the people are
very fond of snails-Almost as fond MS
the American hoy is Of mince pie. 1t
long ago became Impossible for even
sharp-eyed snnil-hunters to find all the
snails they could sell. and so, some of
the clever Swiss have started snail
farms. AS you may imagine, they ARE
odd places, only few rods square and
divided into small parts, separated by
fences about two feet high, with nails
along the top to prevent the snails
from running away. Little arbors Of
moss are provided for the snails, MS
shelter from the sun, for snals do not
like the Gun. If there Is not lime or
chalk In the earth of the farm the
farmer sprinklcs 1t about. Snails eat
cabbage, salad. nettles and dandelon.
They seem to be most hungry after n
rain.
The harvest time for snalls is the lat
ter part Of August or the first of Sep

houses are considered fat, and are the
most valuable. They are packed In
boxes containing soft hay for shipment
