cannot escape a secret thrill in the
presence of the possibly uncanny.
What he sees there are illusions, and
receptions. He knows that Kellar, for
instance, has to get along without su-
pernatural help. Everything the stage
magician accomplishes is a trick, and
the fascination of the exhibition Is to
be found chiefly in the universal curios-
ity which causes each spectator to de-
sire to know how the illusion was per-
formed, and partly in the old credence
In the miraculous powers of black art
One may hazard guess" as to the
method employed in one illusion or
another, but he is not likely to know
whether or not his surmise is correct,
for the secret Of the tricks Is their
greatest value, and the simplicity of
most of them would, were it generally
known, lessen the desire to see them

taliZing treatise to a person who wants
to know" 1t will give the explanation
of hundreds Of tricks no longer exhib-
tied, and will describe those which may
still be effective in terms so vague that
their mystery Is, If anything, made
deeper.
Revelation in Magic.
An exception to the rule Is 1.-THE Old
and the New Magic" by Henry Ridgely
Evans, which has been published by the
Open Court Publishing Company of
Chicago. This is very chatty and H.
Illuminating volume, but, at times, its
author takes it for granted that the
reader is an adept. However, it is
very enjoyable but brief view of magic
and magicians of all times. The modus
operandi of some famous illusions or
tricks Is given, and, excepting to the
professional or amateur who has fol-
lowed stage magic closely, the book will
prove a revelation
One of the most simple but startling
tricks shown on the stage is Thurston's
defiance of the laws of gravitation. {"
Having made his entrance by giving
some feats Of card manipulation, he
suspends a large ball in the air like
Mahomet's coffin. 1t is apparently I'M
attached to anything, for the magician
passes a hoop about the ball. AS he
crosses the stage the ball follows him
And accompanies him as he makes his
exit The feat Is accomplished by
stream of compressed air. 1t Is very
simple, but it requires great skill to
reproduce.
Herrmann's Gun Illusion.
The gun illusion, performed by the
late Alexander Hermann, was perhaps
one of the most sensational feats ever
presented. squad of soldiers, under
the command Of a sergeant or corporal,
comprised the firing party. The guns
were apparently loaded with genuine
cartridges, the bullets of which had
been previously marked for Identified
ton by various spectators The sol
diers stood upon a platform erected in
the center Of the theater, and Herr
mann stationed himself upon the stage.
The guns were fired at him, and he ap-
parently caught the balls upon plate
Upon examination the balls were
found to be still warm from the effects
of the explosion and the marks were
identified upon them. The substitution
of the show cartridges, which were
loaded into the guns, for the genuine
ones, was very subtly executed by

ridges. Into this we'll the marked cart
ridges were deposited by the spectators
In the interior of the Salver was
second compartment loaded with blank
cartridges. The sergeant who collected
the bullets shifted the compartment by
means of a peg underneath the salver
as he walked from the audience to the
stage. The sham cartridges were now
brought to view, and the real were
hidden in the body Of the salver. While
the soldiers were engaged in loading
their rifles with the blank cartridges
the sergeant went behind the side scene
to get his gun and deposit the salver
A couple of assistants extracted the
genuine bullets and heated them. Herr
mann went to the wing to get the plate,
and secretly secured the marked bull
lets. The rest of the trick consisted in
working up the dramatic effects.
COnjuror Must BE Actor.
A great deal of the success in trick
such as this is due to the dramatic eff
fects introduced by the wonder worker.
The conjurer must be something Of an
actor as well as clever sleight-of- hand
performer. Hermann was always hap

the attention of his audience from
something he did not wish them to OBJ
serve. He was not the first to make use
of the bullet-catching trick, which real
ly was invented by Robert Houdin, and
also used by Anderson. However, Herr
mann made it the great feature of his
entertainment, and by performing it
but seldom added to it's interest, for it
was believed by his audience that he
placed his life in jeopardy every time
he performed the feat
Excepting the card and coin manipu
lators and the parlor magicians, the
stage professor of the black art carries
with him many tons of paraphernalia,
The lightest, ARREST effects are the re-
suits of elaborate and heavy apparatus,
and the modern thaumaturgist must be
accompanied by many mechanics and
unseen assistants, as we'll as by the
chief assistants whom the spectators
notice. The confederate, as he was
once known, is unnecessary nowadays.
The gentlemen who go upon the stage
from the audience to tie knots are all
Of them very innocent, indeed. There
Is no need of confederacy, for the trick
is really a genuine, carefully planned
feat, and does not depend upon any col
fusion on the part Of some one placed
in the audience.

The English Society for the Prevention of
Consumption" presided over by the Prince of
Wales, was recently addressed by Sir William
Broadbent, who stated that it was definitely
known that every case of consumption began
with germ communicated from some other
case. There is no such thing as inherited
consumption. There may be local weakness
which tends to consumption, but the germ
has absolutely to be planted in that weak
spot before consumption can ensue This
ought to comfort thousands of people who
have weak chests" or weak lungs" They
are not foreordained victims of this dread
disease. All that is needed TO bid absolute
defiance to this scourge, is to be able to
strengthen the weak lungs, and build up a
strong body. The answer To this need is
found in DIR. rerce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry 1t so purifes the blood and increases
