An Interesting Illusion.

A curious and interesting effect
may be produced in the following
simple manner:
Take a sheet OF paper or thin
card board, about Eve inches square
and roll into q tube, with one end
just large enough to tit around the
eye and the other end somewhat
smaller. Hold the tube between the
thumb and frst finger OF the righs
hand-do not grasp the tube with
the whole hand-and place the larger
end Of the tube close against the
right eye. With the left hand place
o book against the side OF the tube.
Itboth eyes are now kept open, there
will appear to be a,hole through the
book, and it will appear that objects
are seen through this hole, and not
through the tube The effect liz even
more odd II the left hand, instead
OF book, Is held against the tube,
when the hole will appear through
the center Of the hand. Many olher
strange effects ere alse apparent.

The Optimist is in receipt of the
1911 Blue Book, from the secretary of
states Office, for which we are duly
grateful. But upon opening the cover
we find a printed slip bearing the
words, compliments of P. D. Norton,
secretary of state.' We naturally
were somewhat surprised, thinking, of
course that the books were printed
and sent out at the expense of the
state, instead Of which we are led to
believe our philanthropic secretary Of
state, out of the goodness of his heart
and the fullness of his plethoric purse,
had them printed and distributed at
his own expense. Why didn't this
printed slip bear the words, "compli-
ments Of the state Of North Dakota, -

We took in North Dakota picnic at

and myself. DR.. Thomas may not get
here in time, but he has promised to

the DR.. (Ekern) and I will have COW
cred the south part of the state very

probably take rest for a while, as
the doctor returns to Grand Forks in
April. Lowell expects to stay here un-
til June. Ny brother has bought a

I have got it and feel contented.

Westpahl of Fargo, who until three
years ago had resided on. his farm
north of town for many years, got in
to. an alteration with his son-in-law,
John Adams, who rents the old gentle
man s farm, and the young man struck
him with chair, nearly severing Mr..
Westphal's left ear. While we do not
know the provocation for such an act,
there is no excuse for it and Adams
should be dealt with severely for as
saulting an old man in such a brutal
manner.

CIRCULATION CAMPAIGN.


The campaign for subscribers is
over. From a newspaper standpoint it
has been success. It has accomplish
ed just what The World hoped to ac-
complish, namely, to secure more read
ers for the papers, which as daily has
been in operation only nine months.
The World has more readers than it
had at the start of the campaign and
will be our earnest effort to satisfy
those in the Lake Region who have
subscribed that there is no better pa
per anywhere in city of 5000 in
habitants, than is published by The
World Publishing Company. We wish
to thank all those who have taken part
in the effort made to secure readers.
We believe that during the period of
the campaign we have educated some
to be expert solicitors. All those who
have won prizes have done nobly, but
not any greater amount of thanks is
extended to those who won than those
who lost. The World highly appreci-
ates the work of all, and if it were
possible, we would gladly give each
and every campaigner an automobile
or piano, although 1t can not be said
that The World has given anything
away. Those who have secured the
prizes have earned them. We thank
each and every one in the Lake Reg.
ion, Ramsey County and Devils Lake
who have contributed to make this
first great attempt to secure more read
ers for The World success and we
hope those who have been successful
will be satisfied with the results Of
