This audacious deed was done in the

PICTURE ENTERTAINMENT.
How 90 Prepare Magic Photographs
and Develop Them.


and Develop Them.
If you have a camera and know how
to use it, you can have considerable
pleasure and give your friends a pleas
ant evening by introducing to their no.
tice a series of magic photographs.
If you can ''patter" we'll, it will add
to the amusement, because you can
then pose as a conjurer more effectual-
ly and at an evening party mystify
your acquaintance.
We will imagine a number of friends
gathered together waiting to be anus
ed. You take a few sheets of plain
white paper and after they have been
examined request the holders to place
them between the sheets of a blotting
book, which you invite some lady 10
hold. You then take a wand, of
course, the wand is a necessary adj
junct to the amateur as we'll as the
professional conjurer, and waving it
over the book, place it under your arm
while you ''patter" somewhat after this
fashion:
ladies and gentlamen, we live in an
age of psychical wonders. We have
wireless biography and mental tele-
which enable you to look through the
human body and read the heart as it
were a book But through Prof Roent-
gen is a most wonderful person, he
has never attempted to do what 1 shall
endeavor to perform this evening. Will
the holder of the book kindly place it
on this chair. Thank you. Now |
would like Mr.. Roentgen-I beg par
don, Mr.. Smith-to sit on it. | now
wave my wand over Mr.. Smiths head
thus (wave wand and say 'Ego" /
will now ask Miss Jones to take Mr..
Smiths place for a few moment.
'Egon once more. Now will Miss Jones
kindly remove the book and examine
the sheets of note paper? What have
we found? Really this is wonderful A
photograph of Miss Jones and another
of Mr.. Smith. You see the magic infiu-
ence possessed by my wand has inn
pressed their portraits on the paper"
Can this be done? Certainly, and like
all conjuring tricks, it is easy when
you know how. Before the day, and
when you are sure that both Mr.
Smith and Miss Jones viii be present
at your party, you secure copy of
their pictures, of course unknown to
them, and copy them, making prints
on matt printing-out paper. Wash and
fix the prints. but do not tone them.
Then bleach them, after well washing
with solution OF blchlorlde OF mer-
curry, about 20 grains to the ounce, and
wash again. The image will now have
vanished and the prints will look like
ordinary white paper. Get a new blot
ting book and saturate the sheets with
a strong solution of hypo. The sheets
should be slightly damp when handed
to your friends. A few moments un-
der slight pressure will be enough to
redevelop the picture and your trick
has been accomplished.
If you want to perform the trick
with other couples be careful that you
get the right sheets of plain paper
placed in the book. You can add to
fun by having landscape or photo
graph of building on another sheet
and make it appear as the place where
the couple first met.

with a vexed little laugh.
The light of the new moon, that was
just clearing the thin cloud bank in the
east, shone on massive, tight braided
coils of dark hair and a beautifully
modelled chin and throat-.The very
throat for a contralto," as it had been
called. Not all the clumsiness of her
uncouth shroud could quite disguise
the precocious beauty of the figure on

Charlton Garrard was conventional
enough to make his proper bow, but,

art student from boyhood, and for the
last six years had thought his art the
only important business of his life

one of the regulators laughed. DO

OF course Charlton remembered Gale

away very pleasantly, waiting for

rived, to make some sort of moonlight
julep, just as if no mysterious and
indignant lady had been present.
by the way he suddenly asked,
'aren't any of you invited to the Bar

"A Danish engineer has invented
what is called the pendulum propel-
Ter" for ships, his idea being to COM
bine driving with steering power, in
imitation of a fish's tail. Some expert
ments have been made with it, with
good results. It's driving thrust is
greater than that of the ordinary screw
propeller, and it steers better than a
combination of twin screws and helm.
The difficulty to be overcome is with
the engine, for the driving mechanism
is too heavy to be practicable with
steamships with the present form of
engines. The oscillating blade of the
new propeller is placed at the stern
