A dispatch from Baltimore says
that the connection of the West
Virginia Central a. Pittsburg Rail
road from Elkins with the Greenbrier
branch If the Chesapeake d Ohio
at Durbin has just been completed.
This connection opens to travel a
new short route between the terri
tory of West Virginia and Virginia
adjacent to the Chesapeake d Ohio
Railroad and the terri tory on the
lines Of the West Virginia Central
IL Pittsburg Railroad, Baltimore &
Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad.
1t is a very great and much
needed improvement, and besides
establishing direct route through
to Pittsburg and other points in this
state, it greatly improves travel
from the northern part of West
Virginia to it's metropolis.
1t is interesting to note in this
connection route by which Wabash

is said that the connection is to be
used for Eastern traffic until the

Soap Bubble Over a Flower.

A very pretty experiment is making

It As the bubble ought TO last some

that the film may be strong. This may

Now take large dinner plate. and
pour the solution into 1t, to the depth
OF about one-eighth OF an inch. Then
place fiower-a rose, carnation, or
any other you choose-in the centre
of the plate. and over it place an
ordinary tin funnel.
Blow gently into the small end Of
the funnel, and lift 1t slowly and
gradually at the same time. Keep on
blowing until good-sized bubble has
formed. and then gently disengage the
funnel. This may be done by turn
ing 1t at right angles. but you must

The ohedIent Ball.

For the purpose of this trick a
wooden ball. two inches or SO in diam
eter. will be required; an old cro-
quet ball will suit the purpose admir-
ably. This ball must be bored with a
red hot iron, not straight from end
TO end, but SO as to form sort OF
angle in the middle, but the points
where the hole begins and ends should
be opposite each other.
Through the hole thus formed pass
piece of thin cord or string, and at
each end of this tie a large knot, so
as not to allow either of the ends to
pass through the hole in the ball
Now you are ready to perform the
trick. Place one end of the string un-
der your foot and take the other in
your right hand, holding the string
rather slack. Lift the ball up to the
top of the string. and let go of 1t when
1t will of course run rapidly down the
string.
Repeat this several times in order
to show the audience that the ball
runs down the string quite freely, and
tell them that you can cause the ball
TO become quite obedient to your will.
Again raise the ball to the top of
the string and allow it to run down
quite freely, as before, until II reaches
the centre, then tighten the string;
this causes the latter to be. as it were.
gripped by the angle in the centre
OF the ball, which will thereby be pre-
vented from falling further down the
string. Ask the ball to drop to the
bottom. slacken the string, and the
ball will obey you. Raise the ball
again, and ask it to go down the string
slowly; this is easily done by keep
ing the string moderately tight
Invite any of the company to Sc
lect particular spot in the string at
which the ball must remain stationary.
this being accomplished by tightening
the string as before when the ball
has reached the desired spot.
The trick can be repeated as often
as desired, as 1t gives no clue to the
secret. II the slackening and tighten
ing of the string be properly managed
it will be unonticed by the company.
