TRICKS of MAGIC ° oo FILLING TOBACCO CAN TWICE WITHOUT EMPTYING FIRST CONTENTS TYPt OF CAN TO BE USFO ■HI THIS CAN HOLDS ALMOST TWICE AS MUCH WATER AFTER ITS SIDES ARE SPREAD APART AS SHOWN ON THE RIGUT. HOW TO DO IT ARE PULLED APART., LID REMOVED i A flat, curved tobacco cau like the one In the above drawing must be used for this trick. After the can Is filled with water, the performer places the first two Augers of each hand inside the can on both sides and pulls the sides apart, changing the cun from concave Into a circular shape. As the can Is spread apart the water Inside will be lowered until the can Is slightly over half tilled, it will then be possible to pour almost as much again Into the can without the water overflowing. Although the square-inch surface of tin In the can does not iucrease by pulling the sides apart, the space will be almost doubled. It would take too much space to explain the reason for this, so the reader will have to figure it out for himself. (Copyrtrtt. Will f..

Make a few hypnotic passes over the hat, close your hand, and tell the onlookers that you have the coin In your hand. Some curious person will lift the hat and Hint the coin still in Its original position. You then pick the coin up and you will have taken it from under the hat without lifting the hat. The hi. a is that somebody else, not you, lifts the hat (Copyright. Will L>. Ltndhnn t < HOW A CHILD CAN STEP THROUGH A PLAYING CARD CUT THE CARD along the Lines. SPREAD IT APART,_ AND A — CHILD lCAN EASILY \STEP TU ROUGH It Is possible for an average-sized child or a small udult to step through n playing card. Get a good quality linen card, mark it like the above draw ing and cut it along the marked lines. You will then be able to spread it apart and there should be untjile room for a child to pass through. As the •edges of the card remain Intact, it can be said that little Jolmny or Mary has actually stepped through the card, much in the mauuer that animals Jump through paper hoops in a circus. (Copyright, Will L. Llndborst.) Why Left-Hand Operation? ! That question is asked by many pas angers riding for the first time on tht Chicago and North Western Railway I or by those patrons who suddenly realize that the“extra" track or tracks ' seen out the window are on the right; and it’s rot strange that conductor.' 1 trainmen and information clerks art asked that question daily, fot; thf j Chicago and Northwestern Railway i j ihe only left-hand operated railway in the United Sta es. The answer is easy. It was nc I builder’s whim that started the North ‘ Western double-tracking for left-hand operation nor superstition that kept the system from being changed, it was because most Uni ed States rail roads were operated that way in the 19th century and th** North Western didn’t find sufficient reasons for chang ing when the others did. Double Tracking Started in 1855 When the railroads of the country first started building lines many of them were financed by English and Dutch capital. The Galena and Chi cago Union Railway, parent road of the Chicago arid North Western Rail way, was one of these. English and Dutch engineers were schooled in left hand operation and built all road3 for that system. Consequently, when double-tracking was started on what is now the Galena Division of the North Western towards Oak Park and West Chicago in 1855, switches and equipment were designed for operation opposite to the right hand system practiced on other railroads of the United states today. By 1882 double tracking had beenstarted on all three suburban divisions of the road in what is known as the Chicago suburban territory. *henew „ *93Z gcc©Y2a AU"WEATHEas *EREJ Better , J"VOar I _■&:*» str CO,Lih nd,sec them’ Al^' Triu,e-In Allowance for t°ur oiu Tires t,une in Wed. adio I r<>Sraxn8 Sat.
