A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All the
AppSaranee Of Magic.

appearance OF Maoic'
No one would suppose that 1t is pos
sible to hold glowing coal on a piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth. but that such can be done Is easy
for any one to prove, and at the same
time the experiment teaches an impor-
tant natural law. Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made Of copper because that metal
IL a good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity, which Is only another form OF
heat II poker Is heated In the fire
you pick up a cloth to hold the outer
end, although II has not been In the
FIRE, because experience has taught you
that the heat Is connected through the
metal from the FIRE to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal Is based upon this principle end
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors OF heat. Take
globe Of copper and draw n piece Of
cloth tightly over Il so that there Is
not wrinkle at the top. II the linen
or cotton Is closely woven the trick Is
all the more certain. Then, holding the
cloth tightly In place, you can safely
put glowing coal on top Of the cloth,
and, while 1t burns Hercely. the cloth
will not even be scorched
The reason Is that the great conduc.
tivlty of the copper draws the heat Of
the coal before II can burn the cloth.
DO not make this experiment with n
good handkerchief first, for II the cloth
is not tightly drawn II may burn. but
take some worthless piece Of linen or
muslin. and after you are certain Of
your experience you can nstonlsh your
friends who do not know the secret

mourning the enmity of those who
don't want honesty and courage in

it and who will not quit until the

will be scrutinized with hostile eyes
and every act of it infinitely inspect

that the American people, dull, in

these stories and generally fail to
accord them belief.
Governor Hay will merely undergo

toms" about to be wiped out by the
fnew criminal code in effect June L.
Important changes are made in the
method of selecting juries, one of
which is that juror must be an
elector and taxpayer in the state of
Washington. Heretofore the provi-
sion has been that he must be an
elector or taxpayer, so that a man
who was only one or the other could
act as a juror. Now he must not
only be a voter but also an owner of
property on which he pays taxes.
