FUN IN A NUTSHELL.
And Here is the Way to Get II Out
and Astonish Your Friends

SS T!f ~ gf..NS -
Do you want to astonish. your scien
sstifc friends? Here is a way in which
syou can do so. y on have. discovered q
remarkable electric property in an
English walnut, SO you tell them Rub
at with a flannel cloth, and, holding it
between your thumb and fingers, it
will cling to your forefnger, SO that
some slight force is required to pull it
away. The fact is that electricity has
nothing to do with the trick. fter
rubbing the NUT to generate the sup
posed electric. force, you really. press
upon the nut in such a way with the
thumb and finger that it opens little
at the top, and, catching the skin Of
the forefnger, clings to it: The elias
! ttiicitys of the nut is the actual force
which is employed in the trick; but it
! will astonish your friends who do not
understand it, for they may rub the
nut ever so hard with the flannel and
sit will not cling, to- their fingers. Here
is fun in a nutshell. It is best to try
the trick privately first, and if you
find that the nut does not, open easily
enough, or your thumb is not strong g
enough, press it with the whole HAND
ION the table, to open it; but do not
press too hard, OF you will open it too
far and it will not close again. =. "A
