a weird ghost story, in the
weirdest part of which the first
candle went out; in a few min
utes more the second candle
went out, to the increased amaze
ment of the spectators. When
the story reached its thrilling
climax and the third candle mys-
teriously went out, there was a
rush for the door, and the host
ess felt that her scheme Was a
success.
The candle extinguishing is
easily explained. The wick of
each had been previously cut,
and each was cut a di fferent dis
lance from the top of the candle.
This is done with a sharp knife,
and the two pieces of the candle
are then pressed together, so
that the cut cannot be detected.
If any difficulty is found in max
ing the two parts stick together,
it is overcome very simply by
heating the wax very slightly
