A MAGICIAN IN ALGERIA
Sent There by French Government 10
 Impress inc fiarabouES.

To witness Houdin's fire perform ance an -ALg;ie1zs the neighboring tribes i were invited. The theater was speed i fly filed with thsm and the. French i officials, who attended in all their pomp and glory. Interpreters were ] scattered through the house in order ! to repeat H0udin's Ts maI ks to the na- tives in their c.wn language. With true oriental dignity and gravity. the Arabs witnessed the fire few t9.cks n stella silence, but the taking Of q huge cannon ball from a borrowed hat aroused great excitement. Then came the great tricks e. the evening, esDe- ciany prepared 10 cst0nish the Arabs.
 By a wCnd5rifUc power which I pos sess. said Houdin, T can deprive any man Of his strength. I invite any one to p.Jvc my wcrds.'-
 On this being interpreted to the Ar abs 2 tall. strong man stepped forward On the stage. HOUdin held in his hand I'-tle iIcn box, and. balancing 1t carel9ssly on his little finger. he asked rbe Arab:
 Are you s5rCng?''
 ''Y'es," replied the man, carelessly.
 Are you sure of always remaining so?"
 Always"
 Lift the box"
 The Arab did so. and asksd, con temptlously:
 Is that ali?"
 Wait, said Hou6in. making a sol- eEnn gesture. Now s7ou are weaker than 3 w0ln3n. Try 70 life that box again"
 The Arab seized the handle and tugged again. GIc could not raise the box an inch from the floor. After mCLy attempts he paused for q mo- rlant to brace himself for a final ef- foIi6- He seized the handle again, bu5 tsEslsked aloud with pain, dropped on k5s knees, then. rising. threw his cloak round lis face to conceal his shame, and rushed from the dhe3ter. leaving his companions stricken with fear. The trick YVES Us simple as tha result was startling The box was Ta2cod on . powerful electr0-mag gnet. and the current being complete, no man on e3sth cOulG have lifted it. An electric shock, s9nt at a signal by H0ud.n from behind the stage. was 'wh . caused the Arab to shriek and k-rFiedIy retreat.
 Before the excitement caused by this trick had sUbsided, HoIdin announced ehat he had a talisman which rendered him inyulnerable. and he defed the best shot in. Acgisrs to kill him. A maraboUt Immediately sp5ang to the z,e5ge-, excl2imtng: T want to kill you" Hcudin handed him a pistol, which the Arab examining. pronounc- cd 3 sood ona- It .s 9 good pistol, and l will kill yoc,.'
 Very we'll ssid Houdin; ''to make sure. put in a double charge of pow der. Here's Q wad. Take bullet from this tray and mark 1t so you will know it again. Ram c into the pistol v7s1l"

THREE MINERAL FlARVELS
Quartz That Has Cavity Filled wiih
 Liquid and a Bubble.

Dr. A. \. Julien of Columbia college aas two or three Of the most wonderful minerals in the world. One of them s Q piece of quartz which he picked up near Columbia, N. H. This bit Of quartz is transparent, and has a little cavity in it's center filled with liquid, in which 3 bubble of gas keeps jump ing about from side tc side. The bnb- ble is very small and can be seen only under the microscope. It is about ore micron, that is, 1-25, 900 inch in diam eter, and it dashes from wall to wall of the cavity in restless motion, Ike q nomad trying to escape. Now. this motion must have continued during the ages which have elapsed since the con- solidaticn of the granite. In other words, the little bubble was inelosed in the quartz several million years ago. when all rocks were in a molten state and the earth was in process of fornla- ton. The bubble has been jumping

 Where trains have clear road the train master has 2 simple enough J0b

 many weary hours are spsnt in 50 plac- ing train that U n2Iy switch at , gfvel moment to permit 1le other to pass by. Having finished with his passenger trains to has satisfaction, the maker OI the time tlble proceeds 10 gc.- his frsigh5s cut Of the way.
 These present Q problem of 10 mean proportions. for on 9 large road they come and go every few minutes, ant somehow they must give way to eX- press and other passenger trans. Sometimes it requires days for the train master to get all straight The times of these freights, like the more important passenger trains, are fxFd by means of strings. and when the train master is through the shee.-s look ike a piece of crazy lace work. The only thing remaining then to be done is copying Of the sheet for the printer, a simple operation. for the time and station designated by each tack along ths string is written out in full. Every road has a number Of trains running along it's line that never find place upon time table These are the extras" the emergency freigfl-s, and
 he management of these devolvss wholly upon the conductor, wlo stud .es the time table and takes what time he csn get between the runs of C.her trains This method of ''wildcatung' Is common, and it is cause for wonder nat So few accidents result from it. V 0rcester Gazette.

 i about evsr- since, unable. against the i strong material of the quartz, to dis charge it's pent-up energy. Probably,
 from this fact, it has kept in molten ] longer, and moved Q greater distance, back and forth, than any other sub
 stance on earth. The cavity il which t moves is about double it's size so i that the bubble travels about 125, ,000 ] inch at every jump, and it moves ir- l regularly several times each seco i'd. l If it has been moving thus but twice 3 second for but one million years, 1t must have traveled 1.400, ,0G0 miles. Of i course the bubble has been jumping about for more than one million years,
 if the estimates of the geOlogists are correct It is claimed that by measIr- ing the relation of the volume cf the
 bubble and the liquid. an estimate can
 Eo made of the temperature Of the
 quartz when it was first hardening out i Of it's molten state. The liquid in the little cavity is probably Q saturated SO lutiOn of common salt, and the gas is carbon dioxide.
 Dr. Julien has another piece of quartz, found in North Carolina, which

 Houdin took a pear. stuck i1 oa q
 knife and walked g. few Paces in front Of the Arab and told him to aim at his heart. He fT6d, and the marked bullet
 was seen in the pear. After the pow
 der and wad were ramnrGd home. and
 while the AT2b wiss marking the but- i let, Houdin slipped lLttle tube into
 ths pistol. This tube was closed at the lower end, and into til-s the Arab dropped the bullet. As he thrust ths wad down with the Iam.Gd, the tube fitted snugly Cn to it, and was With
 drawn with 1t, being polished to re- semble it. houdin thus got possession Of the marked bal and all was then plain sailing.
 On one occasion. during his visit to AlgieTs, Houdin was placed in very awkward position. from which he only eXtricalted h:mseT3 by h:s quick witted- ness. He was the gUsst Of an Arab chief Albou Allem. and entertained his host and friends by few tricks. One Of the company w'as 9 marabOut, who asserted that the spectators in Alglers had bsen merely duped by a vision. EJ0UQin, however, produced the mara bouts watch in his hand, and on feel ing his sash the marati-Glt found there 3 5-fr3nc piece. Convinced by this and other feats that HCudin was really Q s0rcerer. he challenged him to repeat his performance iii the thsGter, and produced two pistols ''YCu need not f6ar," said the Arab, since you know how to ward of bullets" Without los- inc al -4-ir Ifainsd that his invulnerab:l:ty lay in 2, fta'i5ngan which was with his posses siCns in Anglers.

 At the appointed time thera was a large c0ncourse of Arabs, which the news had attracted. The pistols weI-e brought and carefully examined. The nlarabCs1t dropped in the powder, HGu- din handed him q bullet from the tray, and he rSmnned it down. HcJSin- then loaded his own pistol, anu. walking about ffteen paces away, turned and faced the m3Eabout. The shot was fired, and the F'rencnn3n cpsnei1 his mouth and showed the bullet between his: teeth. "Yco could 1-', kill me-" he eEid, and now ycu shsIl ss.= what my shot can do He fired at the marabout and animed.ately Q red splash was seen on the vh-tawlshsi wall ibeIcra which b,s was staEia.Eg.
