simple chemicals. One of them is the

into marbles and kept at a red heat
for about an hour. then allowed to
cool slowly and placed in a glass-stop-
pered bottle. A few hours before using
place in the sun, and the marbles at
once become luminous. At the enter
tainment ordinary marbles are passed
among the audience, one or more Of
the luminous marbles being concealed
In the hand The exhibitor then takes
marble from some one in the au-
dience, holds it between his thumb and
icrefinEer, blows upon it. and asks TO
have the lights turned down As this
IS done he substitutes the luminous
marble, and the mysterious light is
seen. This is handed around, and
changes again as the light is turned
on, when the magician presents to the
audience several of the ordinary mar
bles as souvenirs. Another trick is
very effective. Take two similar
punches Of artificial flowers; brush one
over with glue or mucilage and powder

bles described; then place in the sun.
When taken into a darkened room lum-
nous flowers are seen. The magician
exhibits the flowers that have not been
prepared ana shows that there is moth

half his life. There were incidents. at
Strasburg and later az Boulogne.
which brought upon him the mock and
jeer OF Europe. He carried baton as
n special constable in Park Lane on
Chartists' Day Then. 10y a sudden
turn OF fortune, he became President
OF the French Republic. The Coup
d'Etat made him Emperor of the
French; and thenceforth for fifteen
years he was. perhaps, the mOst-con-
sidered man OF Europe. II was said of
him that on being asked whether he
should not find it difficult to rule the
French nation he replied. "Oh. no.
