CLEVER PARLOR MAGIC.
ceptions Which Are Based on
Scientific Principles.

A very interesting experiment to
work out during the performance is
one based upon the action of chem
icals. About an hour is required for
this; so it could be commenced just
before the entertainment, and the
things left to stand as part of the out
fit on the table. Take three medium
sized leaves from red cabbage and
strip them to pieces, and put them in
a clean earthen dish and pour pint
of boiling water over them. AS soon
as the water is cool, transfer it all to
pretty glass bowl and set that on the
magic table. The water will be of
rich blue in an hour. AT the same time
take four clean wine glasses and put
six drops of common vinegar in one,
six drops of baking soda dissolved in
water in the second, and six drops of
alum solution in the third. The fourth
is to be left empty. No one would no.
tice the small quantity of liquid in these
glasses.
When you are ready to use them you
say something like this: "You see
these empty glasses. / shall pour this
blue liquid into them. They will, at my
command, change their color. This
(taking the empty one) shall remain
blue. This one shall turn red (taking
the one with the vinegar), this shall
become green (taking the one with the

THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS.
Railroad Speed Apparently Is a
Trihe, Even to Some of the
Very Little Fellows.

The speed of the flight of birds is
often overestimated. The late DR..
Gottke, of England, supposed that mi
grating birds travelled at the rate OF
$50 miles an hour, which is almost Ger.
tainly impossible; and estimates of 14O
and $50 miles an hour are frequently
made.
Arecent flight of carrier pigeons from
the Shetland isles to London brought
out sustained average speed of 81
miles an hour for 16 hours. This, how.
ever, included stops for rests and prob
ably good deal of circling to spy out
the way, for a pigeon does not fly
straight to the mark. Better speed
was once made from Paris to Spa-25C
miles, in five hours, but even this gives
no hint Of what pigeon could dc
over a measured ten miles. Some au,
thorities put their speed as high as 100
miles an hour; it is certainly very
nearly that.
Sir Ralph Payne Galloway estimates
the fight of a teal duck at 140 miles
an hour, but this again is doubtless il
excess of the truth. 1t is well known
that when gales exceed 40 miles al
hour only the strongest flying birds
can make much headway against the
wind. Anyone who has Travelled at
mile minute on the pilot of an engine
knows that the air resistance is felt
as an almost crushing force.
Audubon, the naturalist, once shot
in Louisiana some pigeons in whose
crops he found rice of kind which
couldn't have been eaten nearer than
South Carolina, $50 miles away. From
the state of digestion of the rice, ht
concluded that it had been eaten six
hours earlier. Hence he figured out
speed of mile minute for the whols
distance, though manifestly such com
putations cannot be very reliable. He
placed the speed of wild ducks at A
miles an hour
In general, it is not proved that any
bird ever flew more than 100 miles an
hour, though it may be true. The swift
err birds can certainly do from 60 td
90 miles, perhaps more, and almost
frequent source of error in estimat
ing bird flight is the fact that, at ar
even rate of speed, small bird seems
to be going much faster than q big
one.
The carrier pigeon, the frigate bird
the falcon and the eagle are the cham
pions among big birds. The swallow Il
not particularly fast, but seems swif
because he is so httle.-N. Y. World.

soda), and this one shall take on royal
purple" (The alum makes purple.)
This is very effective, as well as pretty.
A boiled egg-boiled for fear of ac-
cidents-is put, large end downward,
in wine glass. Another glass like it
is stood an inch distant. The perform
er must blow forcibly down in the side
nearest him of the glass with the egg,
and it will jump out and into the other
one. Better try this two or three times
privately to make sure of distance and
force required.
Air pressure may be used as the basis
for the dancing water baby" This is
easily made, and is very comical. A
clear glass milk jar should be filled with
water up to an inch from the top. A
small walnut has the meat taken out
and the shell fastened together with
sealing wax, SO that it is water-tight.
At the lower end small hole is to be
made. Two threads are fastened to the
shell by wax, and these are tied to the
head of small wooden doll. A bullet
is fastened to string around the waist,
and hangs down trifie below the feet.
The hole in the nutshell is right over
the dolls head. When this is done put
the doll down into the water, and the
water must reach to about an inch from
the top, when all is in. A piece of blad-
der is to be firmly tied over the mouth.
This should be wet first, as that makes
it more pliable, and no air must enter.
When this is dry the baby is ready to
dance for you. You press the cover
with one finger, and that causes cor
responding pressure of air upon the
nut, which is then filled with water,
and that makes it heavier, so that it
rises and falls with each pressure of
the finger.
If one wants to do really remark
able thing let him get a handful of
lettuce seed and soak them over night
in alcohol. Then have flower pot or
box not over six inches deep. In the
bottom strew two inches of well-mixed
loan or florists soil. AT the beginning
of the evenings performance the lad
should show this box of soil and tell
them that before the audience leaves
he is going TO show them some of his
farming. He then takes his seeds, and,
after putting in the box two inches
more of the soil, composed of one part
bean and one part of quicklime, he scat
ters his lettuce seeds all over the top,
and then sifts little more loan, very
fine and thinly, over the seeds. Then
he waters the whole and stands it di-
rectly in the light. In ten minutes the
seeds burst, in 20 they are two leaves,
and at the end of an hour, if kept sprin-
kled, couple of times, the lettuce
leaves will have attained the size of a
quarter of dollar, and ought to be
numerous enough to make the whole
top green.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

SUFFERERS.
The New Cure for kidney, BInddes
and Uric Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
newspapers is sure to know of Swamp,
Root, the great Kidney remedy.
1t is the great medical triumph of the
nineteenth century; discovered after
years of scientific research by the em,
inent kidney and bladder specialist, DR.
Kilmer, and has truly wonderful pow.
ers in curing kidney, liver, bladder and
uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble irresponsible for more
sickness and sudden deaths than any
other disease, and is so deceptive that
thousands have it without knowing ii.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-Root, and thousands more
who to-day think themselves beyond
help, can be made well by the use Of
this great remedy.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved SO sue.
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers Of this paper, who have not al.
ready tried it, may have a sample bottls
sent absolutely free by mail. Also q
book telling more about Swamp-Root
and containing some of the thousands
upon thousands of testimonial letters
received from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative proper
ties of Swamp-Root. Be sure and men
ton this paper when sending your ad.

n. Y.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you can

ONE VAST WHEAT FIELD.
Prince Albert. sssk.. Aug. II. 1ss,


William McCreary, Esq, immigration
Commissioner, Winnipeg. Man:
Sir: We, the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska, u. S. A.,
in reporting the results of our trip to
Dauphin, and subsequently to Regina,
Prince Albert and the middle Saskatch-
evan country, beg to say that our tick
cts were limited to 81 days, and as we
had other large regions to visit, we could
only spend short time in the Dauphin
country. We examined, however, the
principal cultivated areas in the SOUTH
ern part of township 25, range 19-the
great wheat fields of Wishart, Bu-
chanan, Owen, Smith, Ross, Sinclair, the
Whitmores, Drinkwaters, etc, and, sub
sequently others to the north, and never,
in our experience, have we seen finer
grain. The whole country is watered
by numerous streams flowing from
the slopes of Riding Mountain, and ex-
cellent well water is found everywhere,
at from to 10 feet. Extensive for
ests of spruce and tamarack cover the
northern parts of the mountains from
which timber is manufactured in Dau-
phin and elsewhere, and sold at from
$12 thousand at the mills. Wild hops
and wild fruits are abundant, and ripen
in the open air. Vegetation through
out is surprisingly luxuriant, and, with
out hesitation, we would rank the whole
region amongst the best grain-growing
areas of the continent. The output of
wheat last year was about 5000 BUSH
els, but this year it is estimated at over
q million.
Westward lie the homestead lands
which now, and when fresh surveys are
COMPLETED, will afford comfortable
homes to thousands of diligent fam
lilies. The great Gilbert Plains, also,
we were unable to visit, where grain
growing has been conducted with the
best results for years, and which will
become vast wheat field as soon as
branch railway reaches there. Settle
ment is speeding in all these regions,
reminding us indeed of the early days
in our own States; and, as we have exam
ined, since our visit to Dauphin, por-
tion of the great country lying south
and east of Prince Albert, we can read
