A Trick Of the Camera.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

One of the many camera fends oil
this city has recently been showing
his friends very unusual photograph
of himself, caught in the act of falling
from a ladder, and seeming to be a
winning candidate for broken neck.
In spite Of the fact that the injury
seems so certain the tumbler's face
wears CHEEKY smile, and on close in
spection may be seen to be winking
his eye mischievously at you as we'll as
the force Of gravity. In reply to ques.
tions he explained that that was an &C.
complishment acquired only after long
practice.
al could pose for that picture all
day long with no serious injury to my.
self, except waste of. time and little
physical fatigue" he insisted. But the
less credulous of his friends refused to
believe that he took pleasure in such
acrobatic performances, and finally he
had to tell the whole story.
"It's all very simple. First you
place your camera in some way about
10 or IL feet from the floor, with the
lens pointing downward. A picture
taken with it in this position will
make the floor appear to be side wall
Lay sheet Of white cloth on the foo,
and then arrange your ladder and
yourself upon this sheet, and the pos.
ing is done. A strip of carpet tackled
to the wall and a couple of chairs
deity arranged adds to the illusion
but the whole thing is so simple tina,
lam ashamed of myself for explaining
it to you instead of making you think
it out for yourself"

The Rainmaker's Secret.

Some years ago Kansas was overrun
with so-called rainmakers," who did
thriving business in vicinities afflict.
ed with drouth. The Rock Island
railroad had rainmaker, who tray
eled about the country in a special car
and made rain from Texas to Iowa
At the time the process employed was
guarded as a secret, and no doubt the
mystery surrounding the operation
had much to do with the interest
aroused among the people. But now
comes George Matthews in the Wich'
ito Eagle with full exposition of the
means employed by the Rock Island
wizards and Others, and the following
is the recipe given by him:
Ten fluid ounces of sup sulphuric
acid.
Fifty ounces of water.
Five ounces of zinc.
Renew every hour and stir every &c
minures day and night till rain comes
The moment rain begins to fall re-
move jar or crock. In territory west
of Kansas use one-third less; at sea
level use double the quantity. In
Kansas work only on southerly winds
which are the notwithstanding winds
Begin experiment only on clear day.
One station of the experiment, if sue
cessful will produce y rain 80 to sc
miles in diameter. A better and more
certain result can be secured by hav'
ing three or more stations 40 or sc
miles apart.
According to Mr.. Matthews, this mix.
ture, left in an open -mouthed jar, gen
crates hydrogen gas, which rapidly as
cends. The theory is that, this gas as
cending, creates shaft through the
hot air down which the hot air rushes
creating storm center and gathering
moisture for precipitation. Matthews
claims that of the 200 experiment.
made by him at least $50 were sue.

These when lighted up at night will

MAKE THE DRINKS BEAUTIFUL

One oi the latest DEGREES Of fashion
is that the summer drinks that are
made at home must be pleasing to the
eye As we'll rs to the palate. Indeed
some OF them are 50 prettily and az
tistically combined that it seems rath-
er pity to drink them at all \ spc.
cial beauty is made OF clarct, lemon
Juice, mineral water and whisky, with
Il dash OF blackberry brandy on the
top. These ingredients sound much
more deadly than they really are, as
the liquors are used in very small
quantities, while the lemon Juice and
mineral water form the body of the
drink.
The secret of success and beauty,
however, lies in the way in which they
are put together when the result
should be that the three colors are dis.
tinct and separate in the glass-a thin
layer of light red at the bottom, lemon
yellow throughout the middle and an
almost black layer on the top. In
making the drink the following points
are to be remembered: The lemons,
and one is necessary for each glass,
should be we'll frozen. This is done
by simply cutting off the top and bot
tom skins and standing them for some
hours on the ice. The juice of each
lemon is then poured upon four Jumps
OF sugar and as much whisky as suits
the taste is added. The whole is then
diluted with ice cold mineral water.
These ingredients should then be set
aside until each glass has had poured
into it small quantity of claret, and
upon doing this carefully depends
much of the drinks future success.
1t must be trickled down the side OF
the glass so as to moisten as little of
the inner surface as possible. The
lemon juice and whisky is next poured
upon the claret; also using great care.
To hold a spoon il the center of the
glass and let the fluid run over it is
good means to pursue. When the
glass is filled to within about an inch
of the top a small amount of black
berry brandy should be poured in;
again using the spoon to keep it from
the sides of the glass. 1t will then
spread over the contents of the glass
and remain like crust upon the
top. This drink is said to be most ben
eficial when taken early in the morn
ing.
Many that have been in the habit of
drinking small glassful of clear whis-
ky and then taking water after it from
another glass have now found that the
two can be placed in the same glass
without interfering in the least with
each other. Water to the desired
height should first fill the glass and
nice slice of lemon be laid upon it's
surface. Any amount of whisky can
then be poured upon the lemon and it
will remain at the top OF the glass,
without showing the slightest inclina.
ton to mix with the water at the
bottom. The two fluids can therefore
be drunk separately, and there is some
thing very attractive and pretty about
this manner of doing it.
Iced tea is another artistic looking
drink and throughout the warm wealth.
er it is almost exclusively used at
luncheon. Slices of lemon are at the
top and bottom OF the glass, and they
are held apart by sprig of mint
placed in their center. 1t is now the
custom to serve this beverage in glasses
six inches high.
