Up to the year 1f& the self-loadins

that year several manufacturers Of fire
arms tried to apply this mechanism
also to pocket pistols, and not without
success The first known self-l0adinG
pistol was that invented by and named
after BcrgmannGaggenau, followed
soon by similar inventions OF kromar,
Borchardt and others. But all these in

THE TW0FfRE DEMONS.

A startling exhibition has recently
been given in Paris by two young
Americans, whom the people there call
the 1.-TWO Fire Demons" So remark
able was this exhibition that a well
known scient( (fc Paper became inter-
ested in it, a a IS investigation has
ret.
: One of the most startling feats per-
formed by the young men was to
stand on the stage in full view of the
audience, andAst1hout any apparatus
in sight, cause, long and brilliant
flames to dart from the tips of their
fingers and from their mouths. last
ing at least half a minute. No one
could discsGhow the feat was done,
though every chance was given to the
audience to do y.
Here is the esslanation: Dress
ed throughout in brilliant red, the men
stood on a carpeted box, which was
ostensibly intended to raise them up
ip full view, but really to contain the
half chemical, half mechanical device
by which they produced the results.
This box concealed two rubber bags
containing Illuminating gas, and COM
pressed by weights. To the heel of
each mans right shoe was attached
a contrivance tel Rinating in spout.
This spout was point of entrance
for the gas.
Attached to TIL Spout was a slender
tube of vulcanized rubber, which be-
ing of the same red color as the cos
tune of the performer, was not seen
by the audience The tube was car
ried up the le1uld the back and in
side both sleeves next to the skin. At
the wrist the tube was connected with
a still smaller tube, very flexible, and
of the color of flesh, and this ran along
the palm of the hand, terminating at
the tip of the 70 efnger in an opening
under the nail. similar small tube
ran along the Neck and under the
chin as far as the lips.
To make a connection between the
small tube of his body and the one
that ran up from the gas bag in the
box beneath A1t the performer had
only to place his heel carefully on a
certain spot in the carpet. Thus the
gas was made, T. flow into the small
tube and as it p Fed out of the opening
at his finger "a or at his lips, as the
case might b.; he ignited it by a
spark from an electrical machine con-
cealed in his clothing.
So the 1.-TWO Fire Demons" turned
out to be nothing but clever tricksters,
after all.-New York News.

On a certain day Browning met one
Of his servants. whose Joy it was to

basket Of grapes and lpther fruits on
her arm.

denly from her hand.
The woman, overwhelmed by such
condescension, protested, "Troppo on

Nonsense" said the poet. "You are
always helping me; won't you allow
me for once to help you?"
Still the woman resisted, saying, 1T

Cousin Laura sat down hard. Mil

cred up the broken bag with the few
that were left inside it, and gave it
to her.
"Fank you," said Mildred, I'm sorry

you'd never know the difference. But

So by-and-by, when the conductor
came through again, Mildred pulled
at his long coat and he stopped.
Won't you have some sugar

bag. ~

Mildred gravely, "cause you didn't

The nice canai1ator laughed this time
and began to tell Mildred about his
own two little girls. Mildred listened
hard and made him take two more
sugar-plums-one for each of them.
And when Mildred and Cousin Laura
got off the car at last, the conductor
waved his hand to them and Mildred
waved back. Tken she gave little
