It Is merely a simple chemical action, but If. tbe trick la carefully performed a good deal can be made out of it Take two large glasses and flit one with the solution representing Ink and the other with the solution represent ing wafer. Then cover these two glasses with colored handkerchiefs, and. taking a pistol and firing It command the Ink and water to change places. On lift ing the handkerchiefs It Is found that this has been done, and the glass con taining water now holds Ink, and vice versa. This chemical change can bo brought about In several different ways, but ohe, the best, is as follows: Pill both the glasses with ordinary water, adding to one a small quantity of granulated sulphate of Iron, together with a very small quantity of tannin. ber that last spring-A;sident\Biib<e- velt brought home from his western trip a little badger which was given him by a little Kansas girl. The badger was named jostah and became a favorite pet of tbe Roosevelt children. He spent the summer with them at Oyster Bay and'might have remained an indefinite time if he had kept up being as playful aad harmless as he started out to be. But, alas, he developed an ngly tem per and showed his teeth, and It was decided that he could not be retained in the president’s household. So he was given to a New York 100, and there he Is today.

This will leave a perfectly transparent liquid resembling water. The trick Is now ready to be per formed, and all the performer has to do Is to drop a pinch of tannin in the liq uid resembling water while be is cov ering tbe glass with the colored hand kerchiefs and a pinch of powdered oxalic acid into tbe liquid resembling the ink. The performer should contrive to give both glasses n shake if possible and to leave them covered up for a few sec onds to allow the chemical change to work.

The game of laugh is new and very funny if a large number plays. The one who is “It” points his finger to some one and says, “Laugh I” The one Indicated must say, “Hal” If he smiles, be must pay a forfeit, or If any one else shows signs of merriment he must do the same. The next one pointed at must say, “Ha, ha!” the next, “Ha, ha, ha!” and so on as far as it Is possi ble. If the right nnmber of “Ha’sC is not said, a forfeit must be paid. It is very bard to keep from laughing, and the game usually ends with a hearty laugh from all.
