"L00K INDIAN" FOR OBJECT
Best Way to Find Lost Article 10 Sue.
cessfuiiy Worked by Younsster
Who Found StIckpin.

When you drop small object ON
the floor. "look Indian" and you're
sure to find 1t. Here Is the modus op-
erandi:
A certain young lady dropped a
stickpin in the hall the other day and
had hard work to find 1t. She hunted
high and low. and on her hands and
knees, and with a candle specially
procured for the purpose. but 1t was
no use: the pin was very tiny and un-
perceivable. Its value being that OF as
sociation rather than size or brilliancy.
The young lady. after a final shake OF
the rug. was just about to give 1t up.
when one Of the children CHANGED to
come along. why don't you look In
dian for it," he asked. Before the
young lady-realized what was meant.
down dropepd the youngster on the
floor. his head and his whole body ly-
ing sidewise. and just as close to the
dead level as possible. In this position
his eyes moved rapidly over the floor.
II have It," he shouted presently. and
sure enough, right in the middle OF the
floor. in SO plain a place that 1t had
escaped notice. was the missing stick
pin. The youngster then explained
that looking Indian" meant putting
the head to the ground in order to
catch sight Of the smallest object be.
tween oneself and the horizon. "They
do 1t on the plains all the time." he
said. That's why they can always
tell who's coming. But 1t works in
houses Just as well as on the plains
Why. We never lose anything in the
nursery nowadays: we Just look In
dian and find 1t right on"

At this there was great outcry at

Fish From . Bottle Of Ink.

A simple and pretty little trick that
almost anybody might do. is the
changing of a glass full OF ink into
an aquarium. The glass of ink is ex.
hibited to the audience. then q hand
kerchief is placed over 1t and imme-
diately removed. showing glass of
water with fish in 1t. OF course the
water and the fish are there at first.
The ink is perfectly represented by a
piece of black rubber cloth, laid
against the inside Of the glass. A bit
Of thread is fastened to the cloth and
hangs over the side of the glass away
from the audience. with little cork
at the end of 1t. When the magician
places the handkerchief over the
glass he takes hold Of the cork and
brings away cork. thread and all, hid
den in the handkerchief, leaving the
water and the flsh disclosed.
