EAST INDIAN MAGIC.
The Clever Dry Sand Trick and the
Way 1t Is Performed.

The Clever Dry Sand Trick and the
Way 1t Is Performed.
A very clever trick often seen in In
dia is the following. which is known as
the 'dry sand trick"
The fakir brings forward a pail,
which he proceeds to fill with water
He then shows some ordinary sand
quite dry. To prove its dryness he
takes up a handful and, blowing sharp
ly upon it, scatters it in all directions
He then takes up another handful and
drops it into the water. We can all sec
it lying in the bottom of the pail under
the water. Next, showing his HANDS
empty, he places one in the pail and
brings out a handful Of the SAND.
Blowing upon it, 1t still scatters In 81
directions, showing it to be as dry Is
ever. This is repeated several times
until all the sand is again extracted.
This clever trick Is performed In ne
following manner: Fine, clean SAND
selected, washed carefully in hot wa
ter several times and dried in the sun
Some of this sand is then placed ID
frying pan with lump Of fresh aia
and is cooked until all the lard Is Duin'
ed away. The result is that every par
dcle OF sand IS covered with lnn
coating OF grease, SO that when tnis
sand is dropped into the water II "

ATTEMPT TO ROB
SAFE IS FAILURE
Amateurish Burglars Enter the
Street & Shopper Garage
and Secure Plumber.

An attempt to rob the safe in the
Street & Shopper garage last night
proved failure. Burglars entered the
place. which is located at 1922 Fourth
avenue, and removed the nobs from
he hinges of the safe, evidently be-
lieving that the safe doors swung
either way, but they We're unable to
effect an entrance.
Seeing that they could get nothing
from the safe, the thieves ransacked
the place and seer: ed six pearl han
died knives, 20 pennies from the cash
drawer and several pair of automobile
gloves, the total value not exceeding
S15.
The police are of the opinion that
boys were the culprits, as the work
was amateurish.

MRS.P MER HAS
LOST FAIR FUNDS
President Board of Lady Mana
gers of Chicago Show Clears
Mystery as to Amount.

Chicago, Ill, Feb. 2S.-The present
value of the fund left in charge of
Mrs. Potter Palmer from the sale Of
articles and souvenirs in the Woman's
and Children's buildings at the Chicago
Worlds fair is $67,75O.
Also, there is a fund of approx
mately $4,000 that has been realized
from the sale of Isabella coins, minted
at the time of the fair.
This fund-profits arising from the
sale of Isabella quarters" at prem
ium over their face value, is, according
to Mrs. Palmer, in the possession of
Mrs. Ralph Trautmann of New York.
who was an Empire state representa-
tive on the board of lady managers, of
which Mrs Palmer was president.
Mrs. Trautmann could not be located
in New York last night.
The mystery of the amount of these
funds and of their present where
abouts was solved yesterday evening
by Mrs. Palmer herself. She came to
Chicago unexpectedly from her winter
home in Florida, and after days con-
ference gave out statement of the
matter. The information will be inter
esting to Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen, Mrs.
George l.. Dunlap, and others who have
been anxious for some time past to
have the mystery cleared up.
Mrs. Palmer, who arrived in the city
on Thursday evening, spent most of
yesterday in consultation with her
brothers, Judge Lockwood Honore and
Adrian c. Horne, in the latter's Office
in the Peoples Gas building
According to Mrs. Palmer, the fund
that remained in her hands at the end
of the fair from sales in the Woman's
and Children's buildings was $4,000.
Under the advice of Harlow n. Higin-
botham she invested this money in in
teresting- bearing securities which she
placed in the safety vaults of the First
National bank. The fund is now $751;
$50.
As was generally understood, the un-
expended portion of the federal appro-
priations for the womens work at the
fair was not drawn from the treasury
at all, but was turned back into the
general fund.
Mrs. Palmer says the fund she has
retained was entirely unofficial and
private in its nature" acquired
the efforts of herself and Mrs.
S. G. Cook and Mrs. George L. Dunlap.
She says they intended that this
fund, together with the profits arising
from the. Isabella coin sales, should
be devoted at some future time "to
some helpful work for the permanent
betterment of women and children"
The fund has been dedicated to this |
purpose, Mrs. Palmer adds, and will be !
so used by the women whose efforts |
secured it She does not name the |
time when it is to be put to this use. |
