Pictures Drawn in Fire.

Dissolve saltpeter in cold water till
the liquid is completely saturated
with it. This can be seen by the fact
that bits of the saltpeter will at last
refuse to dissolve. Dip fine brush or
pointed stick into the solution and
draw the outline Of an animal or any
other desired figure on piece OF thin
paper. Use paper that has no print
ing on 1t.
Let the paper dry thoroughly. The
picture will be invisible then. or al
most so. Now hold 1t fiat. light
match, blow it out and touch a part of
the drawing with the glowing end.
The saltpeter will catch fire at once,
and the tiny flame will burn all along
the lines OF the drawing. leaving the
paper intact.

Masonry and Truth,

In France a man, called as a wit
ness to court, demurred to taking
the oath to tell the whole truth u
because it might require him to tell
Masonic secrets. The grand master
of Freemasonry in France has written
to the court stating that there was
nothing in the Masonic oath which
would prevent a witness telling the
whole truth. If anything, the oath
made him a freer man.
