Any One Pendulum Can Be Made to
Swing at VIII by Moving the Table
Slightly.

in the Popular Mechanics. The per-
former sits at one side of the table
with his hands fiat on the top. A
person may pick out any pendulum
and ask him to swing it, which he
will proceed to do without touching
it, also making it strike the glass
while it swings. Another pendulum
may be pointed out and he will start
that one apparently by looking at it.
while the other one stops.
This may seem to be impossible,
yet it is very easy. 1t will be seen
that no two pendulums have the same
length. A pendulum makes a certain
number of swings in a given time, de-
pending on its length. A long pen
dulum requires more time to complete
its swing and will, therefore, make
a less number of swings than a short
one in the same time. 1t is only nee
essary to move the table slightly and
watch the pendulum picked out until
1t begins to swing independently of
the others, which soon happens. To
make the longer pendulums swing,
longer movements of the table top
must be made. With little practice
anyone can become skilled medium
in pendulum swinging.

A tramp approached an old gentle
man who was reclining in a comfort
able armchair on the porch.
PLEASE help a poor cripple, sir" he
whined.
The old gentleman slowly thrust
his hand into his pocket as he gazed
with anxious concern at the ill-kept
creature standing before him.
BLESS me, why, of course" he said,
as he handed him coin. How are
you crippled, my poor fellow?"
Pocketing the money quickly the
tramp replied: Financially crippled,

LITTLE TOY IS EDUCATIONAL
Wheel Rolls Round Ends Of Magnet,
but Does Not Fall Off-PuzzIing
to the Unlnitlated.

A toy that is both amusing and Of
educational value has been patented
by an Ohio man. A horseshoe magnet
with unusually long poles has the ends
of these poles rounded. A single
wheel, with round steel bar running
through it for an axle, rests upon this
axle on the poles of the magnet,
which form an endless track for It.
The wheel, Of course, is made light
enough that the attraction of the mag
net keeps it from falling off, yet the
wheel can roll about easily on what
is practically an endless track. To a
child this toy brings home more forci.
bly, than any lecture by his school
teacher the power and principle of
magnetism, and he will delight In

SWINGING A PENDULUM
Articles Needed for Trick Are
Easily Picked Up.
With Little Practice Anyone Can Be-
come Skilled Medium-lt Is Only
Necessary to Move the Table
That Is In Use Slightly.

To swing pendulum, picked out
from number of them at random,
without touching 1t is very puzzling
trick. The articles necessary are a
medium-sized table and number of
pendulums, some Of which are sus-
pended from a rod with their lower
weighted ends inside of water and
wine glasses placed on the table, and
others attached to corks SO that they
will hang inside of bottles.
The spectators gather around the
table, which can be in full light.

SHORT CHANGE GRAFT.
An Honest" Industry That Does Big
Business In New York.


Business In New York.
zone form of honest graft a hotel
keeper has to fight the hardest in this
town is accidental short changing
said the manager of a very popular
famous for it's oyster bar.
"The same sort of honest graft OBJ
tains at almost every cash changing
place in the city where there is net
ting on the cashiers desk to protect
the cash and lower bar of wood to
hold up the netting or glass screen.
This bar Of wood or metal runs across
the hand hole for change. The cash.
iers have figured out the angle of Vi
sion of all men, short and tall, and
the distance they stand from the desk
to receive their change.
Say dollar is changed to take out
30 cents. The accidental short
change artist will push forward the
70 cents in coin, but his hand will
halt one dime that is hidden from the
angle of vision of the man getting
change by the line of the bar over
the cash hand hole. If the man is in
hurry or absentminded he grabs the
change he sees and rushes off without
one dime. Always, stop, stoop and
look If in doubt
And you would be surprised to
know how much money is left on
cashiers counters, box offices, sub
way ticket booths and other places.
I'll wager 100000 is short changed
annually in New York. They never
call you back. New York World.
