I" BeastIv" Joke,

Lord Beaconsfield often met with
bitter political hostility in his private
capacity. One day, walking about his
country place in the easy coat and
general careless attire he liked among
his farmers, he encountered two wom'
en-, strong partisans of Gladstone.
Surprising bim to be the keeper or
gardener or something Of that sort,
they inquired if he would show them
over the place, which he at once un'
dertook to do. While they were walk
ing about they overwhelmed him with
questions Of the master of the manor,
and one of them finally said: do
you think you could manage to get us
a sight of the old beast himself?'
MADAM" said Lord Beaconsf1eld, "the
old beast has the honor to wait upon
you now" -.

an express grant of the coast to New
foundlands Negotiations are now in
progress 1or an amicable adjustment.
A refusal Of Newfoundlanders to pay
royalty to Quebec for timber cut at
Hamilton inlet has brought differences
to a climax. Accurate surveys are be-
ing made with view to decision
the last word being with the privy
council or arbiters chosen by the Lon
don government.
At some points Newfoundland
claims extend 200 miles inland, but
Canada will not concede a strip along
the whole coast of this width. The
latter wants an outlet on the Atlantic
without having to pass through a
coastwise strip owned by her neigh
Dor. Forests and minerals-gold par
ticularly-are thought to abound in
the disputed area. It will not surprise
the Canadian to learn that he has a
second Klondike in Labrador.

Plays Franks with Residents Of Inn at
Pontypool.
This twentieth century ghost story
is told by the London Chronicle: "A
ghost of bellicose tendencies is troub-
| ling the peace of mind Of the occu-
pants of an old-fashioned inn in a VII
lage near Pontypool. According to the
narrative Of the proprietor. uncanny
noises have been heard almost nightly
for some weeks. A few nights ago the
landlords son, after he had retired for
the night, heard a click, as though
some one had pulled the trigger OF a
pistol. This was followed by a groan-
ing noise and the slamming of a door.
HE conducted a search through the
house, but could find nothing unusual.
A day or two later a customer put up
at the inn for the night. Soon after
he had retired he aroused the land
lord in alarm and complained that
while in bed he was struck on the face
two or three times by some mysterious
figure. He struck light, but, to his
surprise, found himself alone in the
room. There were marks on his cheek
where he had heen struck.
"Nor could the proprietor throw light
on the occurrence. He told Of fur
tier curious incident. Some months
ago a strange odor was noticed in one
of the rooms. and when the floor
boards were taken up wreath of lilies
of the valley in good state of preser-
walton was discovered"

Labrador Subject Of Controversy BE
tween Canada and Newfoundland.

Labrador has till recently been re-
garded as a sort of never, never
land" owing to the inhospitality OF the
climate and the rugged nature of the
country, but the 100000 square miles
of the peninsula are now attracting
attention by reason of its forests and
'reputed mineral wealth, and Canada
is accordingly disputing the boundary
line claimed by Newfoundland. The
coast belongs to the latter country,
but the meteorological line not yet
definitely located-belongs to Canada.
In 1909 the eastern littoral was given
to Newfoundland and the unknown
hinterland to Canada, or rather to the
Hudson Bay company. AS laid down
in the documents the boundary is a
mistaken one, since it conflicts with

The West is advancing with such
rapid strides that it is now pre-
dicted that some OF our Pacific
States will have greater popuIa-

very short time. It is surely true
that people are looking toward the
West and a great many are not only
looking but are going there as fast
as possible.

preparing to take care of the large
movement this fall, and it has
placed in effect very low one-way

Crack Workmanship

SOME months ago there appeared on the Amer-
can vaudeville stage marksman who gave
some highly spectacular feats of sharpshooting
and fairly startled the spectators by the rapdity
and accuracy of his work His act speedily became
a sensation AS matter of fact, he was only a
clever Snowman who had made of the tricks
of his trade in a sensational manner. One of his
most emphatic successes was the making of nine
bull Seyes in four seconds from distance of thirty
feet. Of course he used a repeating rife The
trick was SO absurdly simple that it is remarkable
it was not at once discovered. Anyone who can
use rifle with ordinary accuracy may duplicate
it at will
The preparations for the feat are neither costly
nor complicated. To begin with, one requires a
black background and supply of small balloons
such as the street vendors sell to children. These
are colored black and blown up to about five inches
in diameter. They then affixed to the black
background and small white spots an inch in diam
eter are painted on them. From a short distance
it is impossible to the outlines of the balloons
and all that is apparent is the white bull's-eyes
One has therefore neat little invisible target of
something like eighteen square inches to fire at
shot anywhere within this radius would puncture
the balloon, and with its instantaneous collapse the
white target would of necessity disappear,
The extinguishing of lighted candles with rifle
Is another illusion. The candles placed in

tor has apparently convinced the spectators
that it is entirely empty. This too is then
swung on high Then comes the usual patter,
and the first cage is lowered to the stage or
slightly above it. The blinds are raised, and lo
the occupant is gone The other apparatus is
then indicated, the shades are up from Within
and there stands, apparently, the occupant of the
first cage. The illusion fails of hearty appre
citation.
Again simplicity is the keynote of it all. From
the two rearnost corners of each cage are hinged
two sheets of mirror arranged in such manner
that they will meet in apex at about the center
of the cage The effect of these mirrors when SO
folded together is to reflect the side bars in such
manner to convey the visual impression of the
back. In the first instance the mirrors in posi-
ton when the subject is placed within. As soon
the shades are drawn, she opens these out steps
behind them, and closes them again She is at once
hidden from view. When the shades are raised she
has to all intents and purposes disappeared from
view.
An exactly opposite operation has been tax
ing place in the other apparatus meanwhile.
1t is always the rule to employ two young
women of similar appearance and costumed
precisely alike, and upon this depends to
great extent the success attained. The second
operator merely steps from behind her mirrors,
closes them again and when the proper time
rves releases the spring shades and stands revealed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-03-18

Occasionally the trick is varied by the of only
one cage. In this the first operator steps
behind the mirrors and at the proper time the
second appears in the of the theater.
This is considered one of the most successful of
the magician's collection and rarely fails of it's
effect, though recently in New York one of the
cages was dropped to the floor by accident and
the trick was thus exposed.
