great strikes and some partial crop failures,
had excited the wonder of the world, being
the most remarkabl in history.

How the Mysterious Sentences Are
Prepared In Advance.
spiritualistic slate writing, If cleverly
done, always makes a marked impress
sion on a magician's audience because
| 1t utterly battles their efforts to detect
the trick. They see a 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
Il iaay be seen and taps 1t inside and
out with his wand to show that it is
hollow.
On a stand near by he has a small
easel, a common school slate, a bottle
of india ink with q quill pen in 1t and
few sheets Of ordinary white writing
paper. All these he passes around
among the audience for examination.
Thea he fixes a sheet Of the paper to
the slate by 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 1t.
Having allowed the audience to see
the articles thus arranged in the cabi-
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 1t. 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.

nized as 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
q solution of sulphuric acid of the pur-
est quality. TO make the solution 80
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 OK
poscd, it comes out perfectly black,
looking exactly like dried India ink.
The heat is applied by means Of m
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.

in advance. each with a different in
scription. the performer telling one in
scrlption from another by secretly
marked pin pricks.-New York Herald.

THE CONFERENCE FAILEp


The conference called by the Presi-
dent yesterday, and which was attended
by Representatives of the miners and
the operators. came TO naught Ac-
cording to reports certain Of the cper-
ators locked upon the conference as a
sort Of Joke and did not hesitate 10
express opinions that were insulting To
the President.
Mr. Roosevelt made It plain that
there was a third party interested, and
that the public welfare imperatively
demands some instant solution OF the
question He did not exagcrate the
case. Should this strike continue ell
winter 1t would cause more suffering
and DEATH than war; It would be more
terrible than a half dozen Getlysburgs.
And yet in face Of the fact that mil
lions are suffering and that within a
few weeks this will run into a national
calamity. the operators can find no
remedy; they sneer and jest and treat
the President with scant courtesy.
What does the public care for the
dignity of the operators, or whether the
union is protected or not, in the face Of
their own urgent needs? They want
coal. and coal they must and will have
II may be a technical crime for starv-
ing man to take a loaf OF bread that
belongs TO another but that will not
deter him. and with an abundance Of
coal almost at our doors we must and
shall find way 10 get IT. Most Of the
people believe in law and order, but
they will mot unphold a law which en-
tails suffering because certain men are
obstinate.
Granting that the miners struck with
out cause the proposition Of Mr..
Mitchell seems perfectly fair. The men
will go back TO work, and submit their
grievances to arbitration afterwards.
The operators. however, are obstinate;
they insist that the men shall be en-
ployed singly, the object being to crush
out tho union. Now while there is some
question as to the necessity and value
OF the union, why should the operators
object to its existence? Have not the
operators. themselves. organized, and is
not their power due to that fact? Then
why cannot labor have the same prlvi-
lege?

ness that is amazing. They even treated
the conference yesterday as proper
subject for Jest. and appeared to en-
Joy the situation. even as Nero hddled
whiIe Rome went up in smoke. We

will find some way to bring about so
lutioa. He is not the kind Of a man

asscrts that owing to his extremely
sensitive sense Of smell he can foretel
the coming Of death forty-eight hours.
He says that when a patient comes
within two days of death a peculiar
earthly smell is emitted from the body.
When the fatal disease IS slow In its
progress. the odor makes its appear
ance as much as three days before
hand. but when the disease Is of the
gailoping kind the doctor says he re
cclves much shorter warning. He at
tributes the smell to modification
which begins within the body before
life Is extinct.
Dogs are thought to have this sense,
fer hunting hounds have been observed
to begin monrnful baying a day OF

When Coal Was Chsap

There is a certain coal dealer in this
town who is calling down anathomas
upon his own head, while one of his
customers is congratulating himself

Sometime before the coal strike this
dealer went to his customer and asked
if he might not put in his supply OF

be an accommodation and a great con-

time
The customer. after some slight de-

he wanted his coal bin filled at one
time. In previous years he had bought
his coal supply I'M two or three install

way so he gave the dealer instructions
to fill the bin in his cellar. This the
dealer agreed to do.
Upon going home the next evening
the purchaser asked the maid If the
