NEW JOKE INVENTED

before now. but he has just invented
new one.
At one OF this years salons his
jokes consisted of portraits. They
were completely geometrical In draw
ing. and linear at that Simpler still,
only straight lines were employed. and
curves were barred. Some faces were
rectangular. others polygonal. and a
few triangular. Eyebrows were re-
duced TO two straight lines, hoses to
right angle, mouths 10 two parallel
lines. and so on.
A deputation OF students, mostly
from America. waited on the artist
and besought him TO open a class. M.
Henri Matisse yielded. and started a
studio. 10 which pupils locked. II was
on them that he played his new joke.
II any art were easy TO learn. II would
be that OF NJ Matisse, beginners

But at their very first lesson they
discovered their mistake. The geomet-

THOUGHTS BY WIRE
THROUGH kEYHOLE
DOOR PREVENTED TRANSFER
ENcE EXPERIMENT UNTIL ARMS
OF TWO WERE UNITED.

MOSCOW, Dec. 17.-Dr. Kotik, who
has acquired some fame as psychol-
ogical experimentalist, has just dem
onstrated before an audien3e of scien-
tific men and physicians the following
remarkable manifestations relating to
thought transference.
A girl of ii was blindfolded. and
her ears and nostrils were stuffed
with cotton. Her father stood behind
her on a thick carpet, holding the
childs wrists, while one OF tie visiting
physicians stood between the young
person and the old. Some OF the ply
sicians in the audience then handed
the father short written sentences and
words copied from medical hooks and
newspapers. These the father read,
without pronouncing a syllable.
Yet his daughter was able to repeat
the sentences and words as they be-
came fixed In the fathers mind.
When father and daughter were sep
arated by door, the experiment in
thought transference miscarried, but
when their arms were united by a wire
running through the keyho,a the trans.
| ference took place.
| DR.. Kotik next introduced a young
aristocratic society girl. who had
proved with him q remarkable me-
dunn for thought transference.
The most extraordinary experiment.
with this girl was as follows:
One OF the physicians produced
letter containing a number OF ques-
lions addressed to him. Dc. Kotik ST.
lently read the letter and then ordered
the young woman to put down the
answers on writing pad She did SO
In the order in which the questions
had been put. the physician stating on
his word OF honor that she had no
knowledge whatever of the letter, its
author or the person addressed.
But the most astonishing Thing was
this: Somewhere between the an.
swers she put down the apparently ir-
relevant words: YES, interest must
be paid tomorrow"
| AS the letter contained nothing re-.
garding this subject, the writer was
communicated with. He stated that
while inditing the letter TO the physi.
clan he had been thinking deeply on
financial matter. to which the young
lady had given what seemed like an
advisory answer.

A.Lina acinn.mono canaries.

cinnamon canaries are the best
known Of a mere handful Of instances
where 1t is possible to change the color
Of bird or animal by food. The trick
has long been known to fanciers, and
each claims to have his own secret for
working the miracle, but the process Is
really simple and consists in abundant
ly sprinkllng the birds food with red
pepper. 1t is a troublesome process
for a large number Of birds either re-
fuse to eat or suffer from deranged
digestion. Even of those who take the
diet not more than a third or a hall
Will show the color effects. The only
inducement to the fanciers to produce
this curious change is that once SO
altered these birds have en- artificial
value. Dealers will tell you that In adj
dition to the red pepper they give 9th
er red articles of food, such as tomato
skins. slices OF beet and the skins OF
red apples or cranberrles. But this Is
merely an innocent fallacy, based or
the idea that the coloring matter O. Il
food is transferred bodily to the feath
ers.-Colller's Weekly.

Thu insaot and the Net.

1t has been known for a long time
that an insect will not fly through a
net with meshes three or four times as
large as Its body, whereas bird Will
go through a mesh Of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect can
not tell us why It stops and lights ON
the net without trying to go through,
and its peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
up, as they do all things Of that kind.
They say that the eye OF the insect Is
made up of many facets, so that the
net looks to It like continuous opaque
surface, the meshes not being appar-
ent. Therefore 1t stops or turns back
before It discovers that it might have
gone through the net without stopping
To the eye Of the bird, however, the
meshes are plainly visible. and 1t goes
through without hesitation.
