A few weeks ago I saw q picture
Of . child, a girl perhaps 10 years
of age, With her mouth placed
tightly over the spout of a tea
kettle. The picture was printed in
Q newspaper, with the words like
these: Child fakir (of North
Africa can breathe live steam"
Anything Of that kind is interest
Ing to q certain extent, but I was
sorry there was no warning printed
with the picture. Most persons
know that steam is hot and danger
Gus, but some small child who saw
the picture might try to test the
idea Of breathing steam!
It's q bad idea. and that's all
there is to it. Steam can burn.
steam can choke, and steam can
kill.
WHY didn't the little child In
the picture die? That is CUES
ton her father might answer. Per-
haps she did not breathe the steam
into her lungs but simply filled
her mouth with it. Certain chemi-
Gals dixie those used by ''fre-eat-
ersC probably were placed In her
mouth beforehand to save her
from being burned or scalded,

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Sideshows at circuses and carni-
walls sometimes have had flre-eat-
ers. These men let hot flames go
right into their mouths, and they
chew, or pretend to chew, red-hot
Goals.
It is well known that fire-eaters
use chemicals for some Of their
tricks. If they did not prepare
themselves in that way, their
mouths would not be worth much
after the show was over.
Other tricks are explained by
"sleight of hand" People think
they see something when they
really don't.
The art of fire-esting goes back
to ancient times. A writer who
lived 1900 years ago told about
q man who breathed flame and
smoke from his mouth. The writer
explained the trick by saying the
man had made q small fire inside
. nutshell covered with tar"
Much more wonderful" tricks
have been performed in the past
few hundred years. In 1871 FIRE
eater named Richardson "chewed
and swallowed glowing Goals and
poured molten lead on his tongue"

South didn't see how he could
bid any more with hand 50 full

North's club king had been the heart
king, he would still have to lose three
RED tricks and would also lose one
or two clubs. And North didn't see
how he could make any energetic
bid with only two kings and not
even a singleton. But the thing that
all OF us didn't see was why this

Both the detective and the chief
believed that the man who tried to
open the safe, and possibly killed
Mark. was not one OF the four sus-
poets. After long consultation with

was heavier-framed and taller than
any of them. Proctor Rand came
the nearest to the description, but
the odor Of whiskey. which Jabez
declared he smelled only when he
grappled with and was struck by
