BASKET TRICK is STARTLING
Formerly Done BY indian Fakirs. But
Recently Wsstsrn MaaIeIans havs
Adopted t..

One OF the most startling OF all
the exhibitions given BY the stage
magician IL the basket trick" For.
meriy 1t was done only by the expert
Indian fakirs, but in recent years
western magicians also have done It.
A child IL placed In basket In front
Of the spectators. Then the magi-
clan thrustss his sword through. the
basket again and again. drawing II
out covered with blood. The child
screams franticaliy for some time and
then stops-as II It had been killed.
When the basket II opened It IL found
to be empty and the child appears
suddenly among the spectators. All
this is done with such an aspect Of
reality that It often frightens the tim
IL simple enough.
One side of the basket IL double.
After closing the basket the magi-
clan pretends to turn 1t over on its
side. He really turns over only one
part Of It. Tho bottom and one thick
moss of the double side are left -
they were. the other thickness be-
comes the bottom Of the basket In
It's new position. what was the oppo-
site side OF this becomes the top.
and the old bottom IL left lying free
upon the ground. with the child upon
n, outside the basket. But this old
bottom and the child upon 1t are now
under the robe of the magician. While
the magician ID turning the basket
back to its original position and run
ming his sword through 1t the child
escapes into the crowd. The blood
on the sword II from sponge in the
basket.

Perpetual Motion.

One may well be sure that there is
no perpetual motion machine" For
this purpose machines have been con-
structed from time immemorial. but
nothing has ever come OF 1t. Men have
gone mad ON the subject, but without
any practical results. It was demon
strated long ago by Sir Isaac Newton
and De la Hire that perpetual motion
is impossible of attainment. Even the

The study Of a gown Of as great ar.

that Of the dressing of the feet and
the arrangement of the couture. be-
cause both these matters should enter
into the consideration Of dressy cos

elk hosiery Of the color OF the gown
take care of the clothing Of the feet
appropriately.
The couture is one Of those designs
classified as the "casque' style. in
which all the hair Is waved. It is ar.
ranged over the head like turban.
There is no chignon at the back. The
ends Of the hair are turned under the
waves and spread about in such way
as to dispense with coil.
In cutting gown of this character
wide goods are more easily managed
than narrow. Skirts, overlapping at
the front, while narrow. give room for
easy walking because the front seam
is not Joined down to the bottom. The

will take the place Of petticoat-
Anything heavy enough to interfere
with the falling Of the skirt In close

IN SOCIETY.

LONDON, July lady Sackville
continued her testimony In the con-
test OF the will of Sir John Murray
Scott today. In the course OF her evil
dence she emphasized her special SUI
periority."
Referring to her refusal to meet
Sir benjamin and Lady Franklin after
the former, who was Sir Johns physi-
clan, had excluded her from the sick
room, she said: Lady Franklin Is
not in the same social position that
am" Thereupon F. e. Smith. OF
counsel for the Scots, said:
"She Is n respectable woman, isn't
she?"
Yes" replied Lady Sackville. She
Is very nice. but you did not seem TO
realize that Knole Court is not Hamp-
den Court" (referring to the suburb
where Sir Franklin lived).
Miss Victoria Sackville- West,
daughter of Lady Sackville. testified
that Sir John and his sisters had al
ways been most kind to her, but after
his illness Sir John was irritable and
exacting. He used to say that Lady
Sackville was unreasonable and made
him unhappy when she wouldn't do
what he wished her to do. adding
that she was more to him than any
thing In the world.
The witness emphatically denied
Major Arbuthnots testimony that ne
saw her with her mother looking over
papers in Sir Johns library. The wit
ness said she was i'll In bed on the day
that Major Arbuthnot said he saw
her in the library.
The case Will be summed up Mon
day.
