MERCHANT WAS TRICKY.
How n French Business Man Saved
Expensive Gable Tolls in Jap
. anexe Failure.

Recently a wealthy merchant in
Paris, who does an extensive business
with Japan, was informed that a
prominent firm in Yokohama had
failed, but the name of the firm he
could not learn, though he was most
anxious to ascertain whether it was
the one with which he did most of
his business in that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling, but instead he went to the
man, a well-known banker, who had
received the news, and requested 4he
banker to reveal the name of the firm
to him.
That's delicate thing to do re
piled the banker, 'for the news is not
official, and if I gave you the name
1 might incur some possibility"
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally he made this propositions:
81 will give you" he said, "a list of
ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask
you to look through it and then to
tell me, without mentioning any name,
whe Their or not the name OF the firm
which has failed appears in it. Sure
ly you win do that for me?'
YES said the banker, ''for if L do
not mention any name cannot be held
responsible in any way"
The list was made, the bankerlooked
through it, and, as he handed it back
to the merchant, said:
"The name of the firm which has
failed is there
''Then I've lost heavily replied the
merchant, 'for that is the firm with
which / did business showing him
a name on the list.
''But how do you know that is the
firm which has failed" asked tho bank
er, in surprise.
Easily" replied the merchant. "Of
the ten names on the list only oneois
genuine, that of the firm with which
1 did business; all the others are ficti
tious.''

the palm OF your hand over the top
81 the goblet, bending down your
fingers at right angle. Bear down
hard on the rim and suddenly
straighten out your fingers, never re-
Taxing for an instant the pressure
downward.
This action will make a partial
vacuum between your hand and the
water, and you may then raise your
hand gently, and the goblet will stick
to it and rise from the table clinging
to your palm.
Would you like to know the rea-
son? Because by eXhausting some
OF the air in the upper part of the
goblet, between the water and the
rim, you have made the air pressure
lighter there than it is outside, and
the outside pressure, bearing on your
hand and the goblet, keeps them to-
gether.
It is exactly the same principle
that enables you to lift brick with
wet leather sucker. You press the
sucker down hard on the brick with
your foot, and that drives the air
from between them; then lift the
sucker by it's string and the brick
comes up with it because the out
side air keeps them from separating.
