Anyone who has examined the discarded
carbons of an arc lamp Will have noticed
that one of the carbons Is always pointed
while the other carbon has a small cup
like hole In the end. When the lamp Is
lighted the carbons stand one above the
other, the sharp point OF one carbon fit-
ting into the cup of the other. tt was
In this little cup that Prof. Pupin boiled
his dime Probably II was the smallest
pot and the hottest fire In the world. He
placed the pieces of the dime In the hollow
end of the one carbon and fixed the other
pointed carbon down against them. Then
he turned on the electric current. He had
arranged his apparatus in front of a magic
lantern, so that the whole thing could ba

Paderewski he receives the slip with, per-
haps, George Washington on 1t, and then
he read the George Washington, and so
on through all the lot. If one has never
seen that done, and 1t Is well done, II
proves a source of deep interest Num-
bers can be written in the same way by
always having fictitious number at the
beginning. Or questions can be written
on the slips of paper. which the mind
reader can answer most comically or
tragically. 1t is very puzzling to those
who never saw it.
Beans and "a BIncISened Cork.
A noiser and jolly game may follow
this. A bag of beans is brought in and
every one present puts his or her hand in
1t and takes a few beans, which are held
in the hand until all are served. Then
they are to count the beans, and all who
have odd numbers to form in line on the
right, and all with even numbers to form
a line on the left Then the first person
on the right line starts over to the left
side, and gives one in that line a bean as
long as they lasta and then he or she sits
down. The same time the first one on the
left begins to give out what beans he or
she has on the right line, and when they
are all gone, he or she sits down. The
next couple do the same, and so on until
the beans are all given out. The last
couple by this time has all the beans, and
II one is dropped a burnt cork is brought
in and a little mark is put on the face for
each one, and when the total Is counted
the one having the odd number is TO have
black marks put on for every bean In ex-

The number of persons in the lines Is
often not very great. and the desire of the
person who goes into the bag for the beans

the game is "old maid" or "old bachelor"

HIDING AN ENEMY.
A story of Noted Outlaws in
wyoming.

Wyoming.
Slowly and thoughtfully Harry Burns
walked along the narrow path leading from
his uncles house to the river. There was
much on the boys mind to render him
thoughtful. A week before his uncle had
been brought in from a skirmish with rust
lers, badly wounded.
Danger lurked behind every bush In the
vicinity of the Burns cabin.
Capt. Graddock, the noted rustler, had
raided the vicinity only few days since
killing several cattlemen, and running off
several hundred head of valuable stock
A reward had been placed upon The out
laws head and the whole western country
was aroused. determined upon the capture
or annihiiation of Graddock and his band
"That reward of a thousand dollars
would help Uncle Zenas and me tremen-
dously Just now" unused the lad as he
walked thoughtfully forward.
Scarcely had the boy uttered the words
when the sharp crack OF a frearm fell on
his ear. the sound coming from the right
and apparently not more than a quarter of
a mile distant.
Harry spraug quickly forward, alert for
danger. and was soon ascending a steep
mound the summit of which lowered con-
siderably above the surrounding country.
once the summit was gained Harry had an
unobstructed view OF the country for a
long distance.
What he saw caused the lad to compress
his lips anc clnch his rife.
A man was running like deer toward
the river pursued by dozen mounted
plainsmen, who were sending in shot after
shot aiming evidently 70 kin or cripple
the fleeing man.
The fugitive seemed aiming for the river

BOILING AWAY A DIME.
The Silver Piece Was Cooked Until
1t Disappeared in VapOr.

Prof. NJ. I. Pupin OF Columbia College
boiled a Decent piece the other day. and
watched 1t dissolve and pass away in the
form of vapor, just as any one might do
with pot of water. While he was doing
1t he declared that any substance on earth
might be boiled and made TO become vapor
IL only you had heat great enough to do
IT, He did not except granite rock. He
also said that any liquid of gas might
be frozen solid If only you could surround
it with sufficient cold. He Illustrated II
by freezing some mercury into lump as
hard as iron. He did these things TO prove
that the physical condition Of every sub
stance on earth Is merely the result Of
temperature.
First he boiled his dime. He cut II up
into small pieces. which he placed in the
hollow carbon of an electric arc lamp.

A GAME OF MIND READING.
II Managed with CIeverness the
Trick VIII Mistify a Room Fun of
PeonIe

IL Managed with CIeverness the
Trick VIII Mistify a Room Full of
People.
One member of the company may be
gently prompted to beg that Mr.. and Mrs
So-and-So give a test of mind reading.
When the question is settled all the com
pany take seats and an easy chair is pro
vided for the mind reader, who is sup
posed 10 be In a seml-trance.
Then slips of paper and a good, soft
pencil, that will make a dark mark are
handed around. Each person present is
10 write down the name of some person.
a famous hero or author, musician or art
ist or some person, man or woman,
whose name is a household word. As fast
as these are written down they are tossed
into a hat held by some one who is ap-
pointed TO collect the slips. The hat with
the slips is then handed to the mnd-read-
ers assistant, who at once puts II behind
them on table or chair so that the mind
reader could not by any possibility see IL.
The mindreader now sits back and grows
dreamy and the assistant makes a few
passes over his forehead. Then she takes
one slip from the hat and holds It against
the top of his head tightly, and he begins
GAN is vague. Ali now 1 see. There
Is a piano. What lovely music fills the
room, What melody What force, etc
All, yes, II is Paderewskir
Then the assistant hands the slip of
paper to The mind-reader and he holds il
in his hands, while the assistant puts an
other slip to his head, and he goes through
the same mummery. 1t is very natural
that just now naval and military heroes
would be In good demand. But, however
It may be the mind-reader never makes
a mistake and always says something so
opposite that everyone knows who Is
meant before the slip is given him from
which he reads the word. A clever man
can do wonders and have everyone (who
does not know the triclO marvellrg at It,
All watch the assistant, TO be sure she
does not tell him.
The trick Is here. The first sip that Is
put on his head is not the first one an
swered. A pretended answer Is given to
a question that II Is asked and that leaves
the mind-reader free to begin on the real
question when he gets the first slip with
its name. SO, If his first answer was

FISHING WITH now AND ARROW.
The Fishermen of AMMAN Never Use
n Rod and Lire.

The Fishermen of AMMAN Never Use
Rod and Line.
Did you ever see fishermen without lins
or net? In AMMAN they consider such tack
le useless, and the Annamese are success
ful In their own fashion. There the ishine-
party takes bows-and-arrows and goes
down TO the bank OF the Song-Koi or Red
river, and creeping out on a log by the
shore, or pushing a native boat short
distance out, they look down into the clear
water for passing fish. Every man stands
ready, with an arrow on the bow-string,
and as fish swinns near, he transaxes ID
with unerring aim. The Annamese are a
strange people living in French Cochin-
China, but il is uncertain whether they
come OF Chinese or of Malay stock. Tbs
men are outwardly cold ana impassive, but
are really very fond of their homes. edu-
cate their children carefully. and consult
with their wives on all important matters.
They have one unsuaf characteristic; ow-
ing to the peculiar formation of the great
toe. they are able 10 pick up small OBJ
iects with their prehenslie feet. a mark
by which it is said that all Annamese OF
pure stock can be known. They speak Chi
nese, but through the influence OF the
French are fast becoming more or less
Europeanized In language and manners.
Perhaps they win learn to fish with hook
and line, and then cease being nearly 50
picturesque as they are in the picture.
