SPIRIT SLATE WRITING.
How the Mysterious Sentences Arc
Prepared In Advance.

How the Mysterious Sentences Arc
Prepared In Advance.
SpiritualiStic slate writing, If cleverly
done. always makes a marked impress
sion on magician's audience because
1t utterly battles their efforts to detect
the trick. They see small cabinet
suspended above the stage by means
Of cords or ribbons. 1t has an open
front and is empty. The magician
turns it around SO that every part Of
it may be seen and taps it inside and
out with his wand to show that ii is
hollow.
On stand near by he has a small
of india ink with a quill pen in it and
a few sheets Of ordinary white writing
paper All these he passes around
among the audience for examination.
Then he fixes a sheet of the paper to
the slate 10y means Of waters, places
the slate on the easel and the easel in
the cabinet together with the bottle OF
ink, the latter having the pen still in it,
Having allowed the audience to see
the articles thus arranged In the caOi-
net. he throws a large silk handker-
chief over it, Mysterious sounds are
Immediately heard. and the cabinet
shakes as if some living thing had en-
tered it, When the sounds and the
shaking cease. he removes the hand
kerchief, showing an inscription writ
ten in bold black letters on the paper
and the pen not in the ink bottle, but
lying on the bottom Of the cabinet He
then removes the paper from the slate
and passes it around for examination,
when the writing is Immediately recog-
nized rs having been done with India
ink
The explanation of the trick is sim
pie The writing was done in advance
by the performer. the fluid used being
a solution Of sulphuric acid Of the pur-
est quality. To make the solution 30
drops of the concentrated acid are add
ed to one ounce of filtered water. Writ
ing done with this solution is invisible
until exposed to heat. When SO eX-
posed, it comes out perfectly black,
looking exactly like dried India ink.
The heat is applied by means Of an
electric current running over wire with
which the slate is wound. The cords
by which the cabinet is suspended con
ceal copper wires. which conduct the
current to the slate Black silk threads
suitably attached enable the performer
to make the sounds in the cabinet, to
cause the cabinet to shake and to jerk
the pen out Of the ink bottle.
Several sheets Of paper are prepared
in advance. each with a different in
scriptiOn. the performer telling one in
scriptiOn from another by secretly
marked pin pricks.-New York Herald.

Keeping ut IL.

There is a very old but very good
story about a boy who was engaged
one winter day in putting a ton of coal
into a cellar. His only implement was
a small fire shovel Noticing this, a
benevolent old gentleman expressed
surprise and cOmmiseratiOn.
"My son. said the gentleman. you
surely do not expect to put in all that
coal with that little shovel
ooh, yes. do" replied the boy cheer
fully. "All have to do is to keep at
it."
There Is a lesson in this story for
young and old, and it is exempli6ed in
