After Dinner Trick S

No. 274-An Optical Illusion
Here is a clever optical Illusion that
can be demonstrated by merely exhibit
ing the above diagram, or better still,
by drawing it yourself before the as
'sembled company. No special skill as
an artist is required.
The drawing represents plate laid
upon a tumbler. If so desired you may
actually lay a plate upon a tumblef
and pretend to draw it from obserVa-
ton. The spectators are asked to tell
which is larger, the inner portion of
the plate or the bottom of the tumbler.
They will invariably award the honor
to the bottom of the tumbler. As a
matter of fact, both ellipses are ex-
actly the same size, but the slightly
tapering walls of the tumbler deceive
THE eye.

It seems to be the opinion of movie
producers that nobody with any sort of
intelligence attends their shows.
Predigested plots are fed to audiences
so regularly now that the average per-
son can go to sleep after the first fif-
teen feet of film, confident that he has
solved the story. When the producers
finally decide to let the audiences use
their brains, they will be paying the
audiences a well-earned compliment
and will increase their business at the
same time.

FIRST TOUCH OF SUMNER HERE

Arrived Saturday and Drove Their
mOmeter up in 8O's-Trees in Blossom
With the thermometer standing at
83 degrees Sunday afternoon another
record was broken for the warmest
April 9 in fifty years. Trees burst in
to bloom over night, streams took on
a warmth that induced many urchins
to open the swimming season at the
old "swimmin" hole a month earlier
than usual. Summer clothing was
gotten out and porch chairs were in
use. The warmest previous record
was 72 degrees, on April 8, 1893.
Along the rivers and creeks many de-
votees of water sports, canoeing and
motor boating, were out in force and
many others were seen getting their
craft in shape for the season. Auto
mobiles thronged all the highways and
visited the surrounding country, where
plum trees and cherry trees, in full
bloom, give promise of large and ear
ly yields Of fruit. The weather Sat-
urday, Sunday and Monday was like
midsummer. This morning found a
considerable drop in temperature.

Last Week.-Beautifu Lake View.
Contractors have started pouring
cement on the new road that will con-
meet the Milford-Harrington highway
with the DUPONT Boulevard, ana which
crosses Haven Lake near that town.
When this stretch of road is complet-
ed it will be one of the prettiest Sec
tions of the State Highway. At this
point the road makes a graceful curve
around Haven Lake, one of the most
picturesque bodies of water in the
State and at the southern end joins
the du Pont Boulevard. In spanning
the lake it has been found necessary
to build two concrete bridges and work
has been in progress here for many
months. 1t is hoped to have the road
open to traffic in about two months.
Autoists going south on the State
highway must now detour at this
point.
