How does the bulb of the common

A Neat Parlor Trick,

This is a neat and effective trick
to perform before a company of men.
women and children, from whom you
can borrow the few materials you
need. These are a silver half dollar,
a large wire hairpin. a heavy ring.
and a long hatpin or 'stickpin."
Bend the hairpin into the shape
shown in the picture. Force the half
dollar into the narrow hook on m
end OF the hairpin, which hook you
have plnched well together so that 1t
will grip the coin tightly, and hang
the ring on the other. more open hook.
Now balance the coin at a point near
its edge and in line with the two
hooks, on the point of the hatpin.
which you hold vertically In your left
hand.
You a nearly always make IT bal
ance on ONE point, but to make the
trick effective the pin should be very
near the edge of the coin, so IL the
ring Is not very heavy you may have
to borrow another one and slip it in
the hook beside the first. Or you
"a use a light ring and substitute a
quarter for the half dollar.
Now. If you blow against the ring
the whole affair will turn on its pivot,
and by giving a good pun every time
the ring comes round you can make
1t spin very fast and keep on spinning
a long time. If the hatpin is very
sharp and of very hard steel II will
gradually bore n hole in the coin. In

How the Hooks Are Placed.

Il line should be responded to by the
fisherman. who must pull hard enough
to Jerk the barb of the hook through
the very tough fiber OF the mouth.
With this in mind a fisherman has
better chances with this device than
one with the plain hook.
Each hook should carry a very small
piece of bait, nicely covering the point
and barb. The bottom hook can carry
the attractive bait. but the others are
used TO catch the fish.
