resented In the accompanying cut, and
showing it to the company, tell them
that you will give the coin to anyone
present who will not let it slip away,
You must then select one of the au.
dience to whom you proffer the dime,
and just as he is about to receive It
you must let it slip from between
your fingers, and the contraction Of
the elastic cord will make the coin
disappear up your sleeve, much to the
establishment Of the person wh9
thinks he is about to receive it. This
feat can be varied by pretending to
wrap the coin in piece Of paper or
handkerchief. Great care should be
taken not to let any part Of the cord
be seen, as this would, of course, dis
cover the trick. This is one Of the
most surprising feats of legerdemain,
and its chief beauty consists in its
extreme simplicity.
Another good trick is to stand an

The Truth About This Queer Native
Weapon Of the Australian
Tribesmen.

More has been written, and less
understood, of the boomerang than OF
almost any other weapon. It is gen.
orally known to be q nat stick OF
wood bent into a shap which suggests
combination of a "V" and a "U,"
although with the extremities spread
apart until they are at right angles
with each other.
In point Of fact, boomeranss are OF
almost every shape from semi-circu-
lar to nearly straight, and seem to
depend for their efficiency not 90
much upon the evident form as upon
the curves which are shown on their
fiat sides. II one takes a boomer
ang and looks along its sharp outer
edge, it is seen that this edge pre-
sents a wavy Appearance delicate
ly adjusted sinuosity like the line
OF a long screw, This curve is not
deliberately fashioned or smoothed
into evenness; the hard wood Of
which the boomerang is usually made
being picked out with short blows
from sharpened flint held in the
hand, almost always shows, indeed in
definite irregularities.
What rule Of construction the
savage artificer follows even he him
self would probably be unable to
say. Yet he has some definite plan.
in mind, no doubt, for while he chips
and pecks away at the wood, he takes
frequent squints along its edge to see
how his cunrves are progressing. You
will never see two boomerangs that
are Just alike, but all are similar In
their relation Of curves along the nat
side. The boomerang maker knows
instinctively just where his boomer
ang will go when he throws It, al.
though he never seems to aim any
two in the same way.
More lies have been told about the
boomerang, declares the Philadelphia

warriors talked freely about that hor-
rible affair. Mr.. Beveridge gained the
idea that old Crazy Horse was the real
leader in that battle, although Sitting
Bull got the credit. The latter was
only Medicine Man" The warriors
knew. however, that the man who con-
ceived the plan TO entrap Custer was
none other than John Gan. He was

vania has done, not only once, but
three times, as did Caesar when of
fered crown. Mr.. Knox is the envy
of many of his colleagues, Who would
give ten years of their lives for an APP
pointnent to what is no doubt the
greatest tribunal in the world, and yet
Knox is as modest about the affair as
a school boy.
The third offer to Knox came the
day President Roosevelt received a
note from Associate Justice Brown that
the latter would retire at the end Of
the present court session, which will be
in May. Within an hour Mr.. Roose-
welt sent for Knox. The latter was in
a theater. The first time have been
at matinee for years." he said to the
president, land | got caught" The
tender was made, but Mr.. Knox said
he could not accept as his duty laid in
the senate to serve Pennsylvania.
The first offer of the wool sack came
when Associate Justice Shiras retired
some two years ago. Mr.. Knox was
then attorney general and Interested in
the prosecution OF the Northern Securi-
ties cases. He was constrained to de-
cline. Shortly afterward Associate
Justice Harlan offered to retire if the
president would appoint Mr.. Knox.
Mr.. Roosevelt was willing, and Mr.
Harlan was entitled to retirement,
both on account of age and service.
Mr.. Knox vetoed the proposition, say
ing that he would never be a party to
the retirement of John NJ Harlan from
the supreme bench. He believed that
the court needed such men az Harlan.

president is "all rot" He says that
George Washington did not set down
any hard and fast rule when he decided
not to have third term, but he merely
declared his own personal preference.
He was tired of the job and wanted no
more of tin fact he wanted to resign
during his first term.
Gen. Grosvenor's talk of a third term
has attracted more than ordinary at
tention because OF his prominence as a
Republican leader. He has maintained
a place in the front rank of political
prophets since the election of the fifty
