DISAPPEARING COIN TRICK.

and Bay, and piece of thin rubber
band, en- one of which hook made OF
a pin is fastened, while on the other
one small piece of wax is stuck. The
rubber band is fastened by the hook
to the lining of the sleeve. After the
coin has been returned to the per.
former-having been marked and
given to the audience for inspection
the wax is pressed to the coin so that
it will disappear under the cuff as soon
as the rubber band is let go. Instead
of the coin, the piece of glass the size
of the coin is covered with the hand
kerchief and given to one of the au.
dience, together with the glass filled
with water. When the order to drop
the coin in the water is given, the piece
of glass (being transparency will not
be seen in the water, and the coin will
have disappeared.
To find the coin in somebody's pocket
is easy. The performer pulls it out Of
the cuff while everybody is looking at
the glass of water. pulls it from the
wax with the index finger, and is now
ready to make it appear wherever he
wishes.-Chicago Tribune.

THE ALBINO ROBIN.
Bird Was Entirely White, with Pink
Eyes, But Too Weak to Take
Care of Itself.

In the summer of 1900 some friends
strange white bird that had been
seen several times among the trees
of a small grove in southern Ohio,
the state in which my home county
is, writes Henry Holcomb Bennett, in
St. Nicholas. Finally another friend
told me that he had seen a pair of
robins feeding it, and, between us,
we agreed that it must be a white
rObin-an albinO.
An alEino among men is a person
whose skin and hair are unna aturally
white. Among birds and animals an
albino is one which is white, differ
ing from others of it's species. A bird
is white, or which changes to white
feathers or fur for winter, is not an
albino. The perfect albino has pink
eyes, and no color about it. The
white robin I saw was perfect al
bino.
The rest of the brood, of which the
albinO was one, had scattered and
were locking out for themselves; but
the parent birds were still feeding
their white fedgling. The other birds
in the grove took a great deal of in
terest in the strange inhabitant, es-
pecially the purple grackles. AS the
white robin sat on a bough the
grackles would perch near it, looking
at it with their heads turned, shrewd-

SUBDUING AN ELEPHANT.
Keeper Gave Him q Violent Beating
and the Animal Never For
got the Lesson.

There are probably not many peo-
pie who know why elephants are SO
easily controlled by their keepers.
1t is true that an elephant never for
gets or forgives an injury, and that is
the very basis from which all trainers
derive their power.
Some years ago there was a very un-
ruly elephant belonging to a certain
circus. The man who had been his
keeper was getting old and wanted to
give up his position, SO another man
was found who was willing to take his
place. The transfer of keepers was
made in small town in Indiana. Early
one morning the elephant was led into
an open space outside the tent, and
was then chained very securely. His
new keeper took a position near by
where he could be seen constantly by
the elephants cruel little eyes. BY
little teasing he succeeded in annoying
the animal until he struck viciously at
him with his trunk, which was exact
ly what the new keeper wanted. At
that instant he and some circus men
who had been waiting out of sight
behind the elephant began to beat him
and prod his tough hide with elephant
hooks. He shrieked with pain and
rage and tried to reach the new keep"
er, who was the only man his chains
permitted him to see. But at each at
tack the elephant tried to make the
blows descended harder and harder,
and finally he ceased, convinced at last.
After he had stopped trying to fight
and had become quite conquered, his
new keeper advanced boldly, loosened
his chains, and triumphantly led him
back to the circus tent. He never for
got the beating, and he never risked
getting another by being ugly to his
keeper.-N. Y. Herald.

And the moon shone in through the closet

But when it was over. and all the toys

he said.

blackbird conversation about the OBJ

chuckling away at a great rate.
The white robin did not hunt food
fbr itself, although it was fully old
enough to do so, but depended on it's
parents. When it flew, it did SO awl<-
wardly and blunderingly, and gen.
orally seemed to prefer staying in
one place.
A day or two afterward two boys
brought to my Office the white robin,
dead. One of the local papers had
said that an albino robin might be
sold to a museum, and I accused the
boys of having killed the bird on the
chance of selling it. This they stout
ly denied, saying that they found it
dead. I took off the skin for the pur
pose Of mounting. it, and found that
the boys had been telling the truth,
for there was no sign of an injury.
The poor robin was very thin, and
it's stomach was almost empty, ex-
cept for the remains of one bug. l
wondered if it's parents had grown
tired Of feeding it. I found, also,
that the reason it few so poorly was
because it's eyes were defective. and
that it must have been almost blind.
Had its parents fed it until the time
of the fall migration southwark, the
white robin could not have gone with
the rest, and must have starved. The
robin was entirely white, with pink
eyes, Apinky-white beak and pinkish
legs. s. .sfs:f 1880
