The Vanishing
~Se Elephant

BY way Of preparation for this trick
the conjurer moves to the front OF the
stage a small wooden stand with q
circular top. The top is supported by
single upright rising from broad
base Between his thumb and his nm
ger the magician holds a little figure
Of an elephant, which glistenS like sill
YER Taking his position near the
stand, he thus speaks to the audience:
During my visit to East India, la
dies and gentlemen, I witnessed
strange disappearance. / am going to
reproduce that disappearance this eve
ming, and l trust that it may interest
you as much as it did me. The little
wooden stand here serves to isolate the
elephant which I now introduce, cut
ting it off from all communication
with the stage and the surroundings.
l mount the elephant on the little col
umn and thus make a miniature
statue of it. The little animal is pref
ty heavy, as you may know from the
sound it makes as l drop it on the
table. There, We will now place a
glass shade over the statue. Now, as
you know from the sound the statue
made when l dropped it on the stand.
off through the air, and yet l am going
| to make it disappear.
Pardon me if 1 now cover the
! shade with this colored handkerchief
it does not reach all the way to the
bottom, but that does not matter. AS
| have said, l am going to cause the
little silver elephant to disappear by
making it pass through the shade, and
J int
like TO have it reappear? Shall it be
in the pocket of some one in the au-
| dience? Very we'll. | take my wand
| and command the elephant to leave.
One, two three! He has gone, Let
us remove the handkerchief and see
/ for ourselves!"
The cover is taken off. showing the
stand without the elephant, which is
found in the coat pocket OF a gentle
man in the audience.
Well, how is it done? 1t is the sim
plest thing in the world says Cincin-
natl Commercial TTibune-when you
learn the secret. The statue Is frozen
mercury. The conjurer of the present
day knows a great deal about science.
and he can freeze mercury as hard as
stone by evaporating solid carboniC
acid dissolved in ether. He puts the
fluid mercury into mold shaped like
an elephant, and thus makes the stat
ue by freezing. The disappearance Of
the elephant is simply it's melting into
fluid mercury again, which runs dowI
the hollow upright from a stand. Thu
little elephant taken from a gentleman
in the audience is a real figure, mad,
of metal and then silvered. 1t gets int
this gentleman's possession by collu
sion, or by some trick of the magi
clans.

A SedI'S Intelligence.

A few years ago some fishermen were

on the Maine coast, when they OBJ

around it several times, and then max

being chased by large fish.
One of the fishermen dropped his
line. and, stepping into the bow. leaned
over and held out his hands. To his
amazement the seal Immediately
dashed toward him. and, with his help,
scrambled out of the water into the
boat, just IN time to escape the sharp
weapon Of a swordfish that darted by,
its big eyes staring, probably in Won
der at the method of escape, to its
fshy intelligence being evidently a
case of out of the frying-pan into the
fire.
But the little seal apparently knew
! better, and it need not be said that its
confidence was not misplaced. as the
| men were so pleased with its action in
Z
! and the seal became a familiar object
| about the shore
The fishermen had small house
upon the beach, in which their BOAT:
! and nets were stored, and here the sea
made its home, sleeping on a pile o
old cloths and during the day lyinE
upon the sands, lazily rolling over il
the enjoyment of perfect freedom.
When the men came down to tn
shore the seal was there TO greet them

into the boat When not taken in

alongside, with its intelligent blac
eyes fixed upon them. If taken int
the boat it would lie on the forwar
deck aud watch its protectors, occa
sionally eating a fish which the
tossed over to it, or diving over afte
one which they threw away.
During the winter the seal wa

fishermen. where it spent much OF II
