The way IN which some artists can
distort features without making them

markable. Thomas Mast possessed
this faculty to an extraordinary degree
and he had a very peculiar way or

TO call upon him ut his Office or house
and hold him in conversation as long
as possible studying his features.
When he took his departure he would
purposely leave his cane. once outside
Mast would make a hasty pencil sketch
on a card and would usually find that
his memory was deficient as TO some
detail. He would then return, ostensi-
bly, for the cane, and another look ut
the victim would enable him TO per-

the bishop with merry twinkle in his

The other story is still better. On
one occasion when he alighted from
the train ut Whcatlcy, the station for

rushed up to him and asked ANY arti-

JotLam Strout was hoclng corn In the

A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Teaches Natural LAW, Yet Has All
the Appearance of Magic

No one would suppose that IL Is pos
sible to hold glowing coal on a piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth, but that such can be done is easy
for any one to prove. and at the same
time the experiment teaches an impor-
tant natural law Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made of copper because that metal
is n good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity, which is only another form ot
heat If poker is heated in the fire,
you pick up cloth TO hold the outer
end. although ii has not been in the
fire, because experience has taught you
that the heat Is connected through the
metal from the fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat, Take
q globe of copper and draw n piece Of
cloth tightly over ii so that there is
not n wrinkle at the top If the linen
or cotton is closely woven, the trick is
all the more certain. Theu, holding
the cloth tightly in place, you can safe
~ put a glowing coal on top OF tho
cloth. and, while it burns iercely, the
cloth will not even be scorched.
The reason is that the great conduc-
tivity Of the copper draws the heat OF
the coal before Il can burn the cloth.
DO not try this experiment with
good handkerchief first. for If the cloth
Is not tightly drawn It may burn. but
take some worthless piece of linen or
muslin. aud after you are certain or
your experience you can astonish your
friends who do not know the secret
