A Pretty -ruck wnmryrmcn to Panic ` Your Young Friends. This isea very pretty trick, especially, I if it is performed in a. darkened room. You show your friends a blank sheet of paper (the room must be light enough in let them see that it is blank). Then you strike a match, blow :1. _..a. -__1 -L-___I_ .u.- ..-._.... ...u.I.. 4.1.- it out and `touch the paper with the glowing top of the match. A spark travels over the paper, following 1 very `crooked course, and nally goes out. Then you open the shutters or turn up the lights, and, beho1d,`yon `see on the sheet of paper a burnt pic- ture or design, which has been traced T by the spark. rnL- .........L .0 4.1.... J...:,.1. :5 4-I-.n+ +1-no no- DJ Luv Byutnn . The secret of the trick is that the pa- per, though it appears blank, has really had the picture drawn on it before- hand. It is not drawn with pencil or pen and ink, but with a ne brush, I pen_ or a pointed stick dipped in a very strong solution of saltpeter. The } paper ' should not be glazed.

Now, salt- peter, which is also called uiter and potassium nitrate, is, as you may know, one of the ingredients of guni powder, audit is used in making pow- a great deal of oxygen and is easily combineswith, or burns, the sulphur and charcoal, so that no air is `needed from outside. `Just so the saltpeter makes the paper easier to light and burn, alongthe linesot the drawing. connected together.` If a part of the 0!` course, you must apply the match to one of the lines, which you can do. `easily enough by moving it across the paper near where you know there are" some lines until the spark catches.- _ Korean seesaw. Korean girls are fond of playing at seesaw. A ling. full of sand about a. foot in thickness is `placed on the ground. Across this is placed a plank, `and stretched alongside at a proper height for the children to grasp and * steady themselves by it a rope. The young Koreans do` not sit down as English or American girls would do, but stand `erect on the ends or the plank. One gives an upward spring and as shealights on the board gives the other a skyward toss, who as she alight: -in turn throws the rst girl aloft a little higher. And so the sport 1 goes on until in their upward ight, `each girl is thrown two or three feet into the air. Frequent rests are nec- essary, but thepastime is the occasion ot much merriment. gm by Cossacks in `Attempt Bjbiv tip t Heroic Attitude `VNontPity;*of thOourt_\V Sent Them` to D ea th.t ' Flying llnehlne.
