To Thread "A Hair Through walnut.

To pass a hair through a walnut
without boring a hole seems an impos
slbility, but the feat has often been
done. The hull Of the walnut when
examined with strong glass Is seen
to have innumerable small openings,
some of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using a
very fine hair and an infinite amount
OF patience. Pass the hair into one OF
these minute crevices and urge II gen.

the other side at the first trial, but If
1t comes out at the hundred and first
