MAKING GHOST RINGS.
An Interesting Little Scientific Ex-
pertinent That Any Bright Boy
or Girl Can Conduct.

Here is trick that Is very effec-
tive one to use at a party, and, al
though it appears very strange to the
spectators when well performed, still
IL is most simple. Take a pasteboard
hat box and cut a circular hole four or
five inches in diameter In the center
OF the cover. Get two pads of plotting
paper, each composed of six or eight
pieces. Place the box on table facing
the company and tell them that you
are about to make some ghosts for
them-one for each.
Take the pads of plotting paper into
another room and then pour on one
a small quantity OF muriatic acid and
on the other a similar quantity of
aqua ammonia, both of which you can
get very cheaply at any drug store.
BE very careful to keep the two pads
from touching each other. Carry
them into the room and put them in
the box one on top of the other, clap
ping on the cover of the box at once.
The box will Immediately become filed
with thick, white cloud.
Now turn the box over so that the
hole in the cover is pointed directly
~ Ohe oA the party. lap the box
sharply on both sides at the same time
with your hands and a ghostly white
ring will come out Of the hole and
float directly at the person in front
of it. BY shifting the position of the
box and aiming the hole at different
ones you can send one Of these rings
at each person in the room. They will
be greatly surprised, and viii dodge
and try to get out Of the way, rs a gem
eral rule.
BY renewing the supply Of chemicals
on the pads Of blotting paper, you can
afterward amuse the company by TAX
ing turns at projecting these rings ut
a door knob, or some ether prominent
object, stringing several of them upon
1t before they melt away and disap-
pear. II two Of the rings Eh ould knock
together in the air, they would bend
and straighten out again without los
ing their form, just as an elastic body
of more solid observation-disclosures

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY is, 1902
NEW YEARS FESTIVAL.
hsiOus Ceremonies and Cruel
Sports I'm the Arena.

Although the first of January is the
oldest of all holidays retaining a
fixed date, it is a curious fact that it
has been New Years day among Eng
Esh-sPeaking people, except in Scot
land less than a century and a half,
and Ia Scotland itself only three cen
tTlries.
Begioning with the year of Rome,
ToS. or b. G. 46, the Julian calendar
went into effect in the Roman empire,
by which the year was made to date
from the kalends of January, the first
cay of the month. 1t is probable that
this was holiday before the time of
the law, as it appeared to have been
observed as a festival in honor of
Juno, but it soon became the most
marked of all Roman festal days. In
the Fast of Ovid that poet tells of
the striking religious ceremonies of
the occasion, the professions of white
rohed priests, the music and the
banners, while later writer's depict the
social observances, the exchange of
presents, and the hbations OF wine
with good cheer of every character.
From that time onward the begin
ming Of the year was the great i'm
Perial holiday celebrated in every land
where the eagles of Rome were ac-
knSwledged as the emblems of govern
Esent. At the capital itself gladiator
hal exhibitions became q principal fea-
tHre of the celebrations and continued
sush fer several centuries. In the year
<o3 Az eastern monk named Alama-
chias was impressed with the wicked
ness Of these combats and went to
Rene with the single intention of Sc
curing their abolition. On New Years
day Of 4o4 he attended the show in
the Flavian amphitheater and rushed
Snte the arena as the first pair of glad
tators began their contest, throwing
himself between them. The Praetor
AlyPius Immediately ordered the con-
testants to dispatch the monk and go
On with the fight. He was obeyed, but
the scandal of the event was so great
thSt the emperor ordered the discon-
Eaaanee of the exhibitions, so that
Aamachius obtained the desired re-
suit, though at the cost of his own
kfe.
In Great Britain the calendar year
began on the 25th of April, and the
rapture with the Roman church occur
ring shortly before Pope Gregory's
PRONUNCIATION of the edict of correc-
ton of the Julian calendar, made il
tmRrscticable for the English to con-
cur in the change, which was accept

Saved His Friends Ears.

A prisoner was once condemned by
the late ameer of Afghsnistan to
have his ears sliced OF quite rs .
minor punishment. He had q power
full friend, however, who was much
attached to him. This friend begged
the ameer, in duly submissive tones,
to allow him to perform the opera
ton, favor which was granted.
However. the amateur begged the
ameer to show him what portion of
each ear he wished to be removed.
The ameer accordingly touched them
lightly. Whereupon the ingenious
and courageous person proceeded to
quote passage from the Koran which
said that anything touched by the
representative of the Almighty be-
came sacred. The despot smiled
grimly and forgave them both.
