Can You Make the Nickel Junn?

Can You Make the Nickel jump?
Lay a nickel scent piece on an I'M
covered table, four or. five inches from
the edge, and bet your friends cream
chocolate that you can take it up
into your hands without touching
either it or the table. -"
If they receive your proposition
with the kind Of smile that people al
ways indulge in when they think some
body is trying to guy" them, lay down
the cream chocolate as proof Of your
earnestness and invite them to do the
same. That little matter having been
arranged, prepare to make good your
boast.
Sit down at the table and place your
right hand half open, few inches. be-
yond the coin, but do not touch the
table with it.; hold it just above the
table. Now blow suddenly and hard
on the table about two inches from
the coin, and the coin will jump up
and fly into your hand.
You will need little practice to do
this neatly, and you would better take
the practice before risking your cream
chocolate. But you can do, it every
time after that, and it makes a very
pretty parlor trick. ..#%

like the following? At every moment
during it's displacements the animal
continually maintains the orientation
OF its point Of departure, the displace-
ments OF the point being conjugate
to those of its own motion. It suf-
ices, then, that the animal knows
what its displacements with respect
to the point of departure have been
In order that it may also know what

to the animal itself have been. All

The little daughter of missionary
in Siam, tells in an exchange of a
clever baby elephant, who would
select flag, either white, black or
red, whichever his master called for,
and carry it to him. The animal
would also carry a fan of bananas on
his head and put them down before
his master. Then he would salute the

crossing his front feet. After this
the master gave him the bananas to
