A CIairvovant Trick.

In this clairvoyant trick one person
goes out Of the room while a word
representing some object Is chosen.
When he returns his confederate asks
him, "Is it p" naming some article
the first letter Of which is the first
letter Of the word he Is to guess. The
guesser replies in the negative. The
questioner then asks, els it Pr nam
ing some article the initial letter Of
which Is the second letter Of the word
to be guessed, and SO on until the word
Is complete.
Thus suppose the word was curtain.
The questions might be: els it can
dle?' els it an umbrellaT' sis it a
rat?' els it a table?" els 1t an ap-
ple?" "Is it ice?" ELS it a needleY
To all Of these the person questioned
has answered NO." but he has been
following the first letters Of the words,
and WREN the next question comes,
els it a curtainY' he answers yes"
If it Is preferred to make the trick
seem more magical when he has heard
the word spelled out he may suddenly
interrupt his Questioner and, rubbing
his forehead say: "Wait, know what
it is. It Is curtain" However, the
company will be more apt to guess the
trick If 1t Is done in this way.

he has been instrumental in having

Perhaps I should have qualified my
statement and said that the top soil

$500 per mile where the materials were
near at hand and where there was
not much grading or draining to be
done In this section the sand Is
from one to twenty feet deep, but we
