When a champion rifle shot fires

penny held between his wifc's
tHunb and finger or seated back to
her shoots, by means of q mirror, at
an apple upon her head or on a
fork held in her teeth, the danger
Of using a bullet is obvious. None,
OF course, is needed. The explo-
mon is enough. The apple is al
ready prepared, having been cut
into pieces and stuck together with
an adhesive substance, and q thread
with a knot at the end, pulled
through it from the wings" SO
that it flies to bits when the gun is
fired, is Chow it is done"
Generally the more dangerous a
feat appears the more carefully is
all danger guarded against. In the
civilian Tell" act the thread is
often tied to the assistants foot.
When, again, the ash is shot of a
CIGAR which the assistant is smok-
