A penny is shown lying heads up on
the right hand. The coin is snpped
down on the left hand. but instead Of
lying tails, it is still heads up.
This is done by giving the right hand
very slight jerk TO the night. while
slapping 1t down on to the left. The
jerk takes the hand right ont from
under the coin, so that 1t falls heads,

OLD RAGS USED IN ROOFING

old rags cover m.sre American homes

FATHER OF BLOCK SIGNALING
Large in the History of Rail-
way Transportation.

An automatic electric system of
railroad signaling was put into sue
cessful operation for the first time 80
years ago. II was the invention of
William Robinson. and the trial TO
which he submitted his signaling ap-
pliances was made early in September,
1872, at the town of KinZua. on the
old Philadelphia & Erie railway in
northern PennysvlNania.
Mr.. Robinson is very generally re-
ferred to rs 'the father of automatic
block signaling" His invention Is
recognized rs the forerunner and at
the same time the basis of practical
ly every automatic electric block sig
nal system in use on railroads today"
This tribute to his work appeared
in recent report of the Interstate
commerce commission: Perhaps no
single invention in the history of the
development of railway transportation
has contributed more toward safety
and dispatch in that field than the
closed track circuit"

SOCIETY MEN WEAR cORSETS
Fad Spreading in England, and Said
to Be by No Means Confined
to Fops.

The corset-wearIng habit among
men is coming into vogue again, says
an investigator in England.
"A leading London corsetiere who
supplies most society men. puts down
a good customers bill at $3.50 per an
mum. Let no one imagine that il is
only fops who wear them. The major
ity of wearrrs are military men. who
| learn, require a greater amount of
padding than civilians. Others are or
binary well-dressed men. given to man
ly sports. and by no means effeminate.
"A mans figure has to be gradually
coaxed into shape. and il Is put first of
all into soft silk corset with scarcely
any bones. until he attains by degrees
to the full glory of the perfect figure.
This process usually takes three
months, and five special makes of cor.
sets are employed in the development.
Or perhaps il would he more accurate
to say the repression of the figure"

The critical time of a woman's life
usually comes between the years of
4b and so, and is often beset with an
noying symptoms such as nervous
ness, irritability, melancholia. Heat
flashes or waves of heat appear to
pass over the body, cause the face to
be very red and often bring on head
ache, dizziness and a sense of suffo-
cation.
Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time Is an inability TO
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable tomake a woman
lose confidence in herself. She be-
comes nervous, avoids meeting
strangers and breads to go out alone.
