Special to
Young Mothers
Dr. Martin Couney , the physician in
charge of the Infant Incubators at the Exposi
tion , who has had a wide experience , says ,
after using several other beers : "We take
pleasure in stating we have used Krug Cabi
net bottled Beer constantly and for milk pro
ducing qualities we can cheerfully recom
mend it to all nursing mothers ; " it has less
acid in it and is much more healthful ; it is used
by every nurse in the Infant Incubators build
ing. This is certainly convincing proof and
every young mother should at least try it.
PARLOR MAGIC.
Clever nnd Pretty Tricks Can be Accomplished by Applying
Scientific Principles.
IJY OLIVE HARPER.
There are many Interesting tricks chil
dren tan dp with little trouble and expense.
They are revilly applications of scientific
principles , but when properly done look like
magic. A couple of clover boys can amuse
n party of grown people a whole evening
with thcbo scientificexperiments. . When the
bo > s wish to make a little money for some
ret charlt > they may bo suic of giving
their money's worth to those who buy tick

Tor the first thing on the program they
might hypnotize a chicken. To do this have
n dark table and draw a whlto chalk line
across It , beginning fiom directly under the
bill of the chicken , whose beak should beheld
held down to the table so that It must look
at the line A rooster will become senseless
and nerveless bv the tlmo the line Is two
feet long , nnd remain with his beak glued
'
< o the line somctlmeb over a mluute and
that seems long
A t'rntrr of firm Uy Trick.
Many pretty tricks are done with the
principle of the center of gravity. A gob
let and a bottle with colored or clear water ,
two silver table forUs and a cork are ncces-
tary for this. The two forks nro stuck
tlrmlj In opposite sides of tbo cork and left
to hang down at an anglo of about thlrty-
five degrees. The bottom of the cork is
then stood upon the edge of the mouth ot
the bottle. The forks and cork form a
v hole , with the center of gravity over the
point supporting It. The bottle can bo
bent , emptied even of all Us contents without - , 1
out unbalancing the cork. This Is a trick |
often done by professors of magic. | !
Another pietty trick Is possible with the
fame cork , forks and bottle , only a needle
must bo pushed , head first , Into the cork
exactly In the center , leaving the point
downward A piece of money la then laid
over the mouth of the bottle and the cork
with Its two forks Is stooj upon the money.
Then push one of the forkx hard , but with
out jerkliiK , and they will swing around in
a clrilo for a long time. A flower or other
device on top of tlu > cork IH also an addi
tion
Another interesting trick Is to lift a de
canter half tilled with water bj a bent straw
This would scorn Impossible , but Is not
Jha decanter should ha\o a narrow neck
and wide and rather square "shoulder"
part The straw , which must bo a gooj and
whole arc , about two and one-half feet
long , or two fe-ct. This Is to bo bent upward
one.third of Its length , or enough to brlnu
it under the ' shoulder" of the de-canter
Doubled It in pushed Into the deciliter , and
then It spreads apart , leaving the long end
outside and the short one ln ldc. This cnJ
la lifted carefully and as It Is It displaces the
center of gravity which Is brought directly
tinder the point of suspension. It Is well for
Iho performer to have two or three extri
pieces of straw , to bo euro to find one wlth >
out crook n break.

By applying the principle of Inertia wo
may produce ) a number of Interesting tricks
that will amuse and perhaps Instruct come
of the big folUa as well aa the children. One
trick re-rjulroa an old broomstick , sawed off
it the broom end. Two paper rings about
twelve Inches in diameter are made by .past-
Ing together strips of writing paper an Inch
wide. Two sharp table knives or razors
should bo held bj two persons , each hold
ing ono on the same level with the sharp
'dgo upward Or these the paper rings
nro to be passed an 1 the broomstick sun-
by ht > paper rlngi. The performer
then takes a strong stick and strikes the
broomstick a sharp , strong blow in the mid. j
die , and It breaks Instantly , without tearing
the paper rings or causing them to cut on
the razors.
Or this can be done by sticking a needle
in each end of the broomstick and resting
the needles on the edges of glass goblets |
stood on chairs. In either case the blon
struck in thn middle breaks the stick with
out men Ing the supports A pile of checkc-rs
may be put on the table nnd by one blow
with the edge of a knife the center or
even the bottom one may bo remoscd with
out disturbing the others.
Atmospheric pressure furnishes some In
teresting facts , some of the experiments
being enough like magic to find a place In
a parlor entertainment. TaKc an ordinary
decanter nnd a hard-holled egg. Take the
'shell off the egg Then push a piece of
paper down Into the decanter and light It
and let It hum. As soon aa you see that
the paper Is nearly consumed , put the egg
on the mouth of the decanter like a cork ,
small end down. In a few minutes the
nlr outsldo presses the egg through the neck
of the bottle down Inside. The egg being
at least twice as large as the mouth of the
decanter It requires force enough to make
It grow long and narrow. The vacuum In-
alde nrado by the burning paper and the
atmospheric preseuie get the egg through
and it falls to the bottom and regains its
own shape. Wo will not dlscuas the ques
tion of getting the egg out again.
In H. Paper llux.
Two more tricks based upon the conductIng -
Ing power of metals , and the power of ab
sorption of heat by water Ono may take a
small but powerful alcohot lamp and stand
it on the table. An ordinary playing card
with the edges bent up has a piece of lead
about as large OH half a dollar put In the
center. This card l. < then held directly over
the flame of the lamp anil In a few minutes
th Irad Is melted and the card Is not Injured
In the > least
Tlu > lest and neatest experiment of all Is
to boli' water In a paper hot A little paper
box Is folded as nil echool children knon
how. Into a i > quaro box about an insh deep
and two square Cords are fastened lo the
corners and a pleyo of Ktlck passed through
so that It will hang perfectly level. Light
the alcohol lamp and fill the llttlo box with
water and uiupcnd It directly above the
damn about three Inches higher. In a few
mlnutrfi the. water will boll and send up a
mlniatuic cloud of Eteam without harm to
the box. Th's requires some experience as
to the proper distance It should be held from
the flame , and It Is well to have the lamp
In a good-sized dish In case the performer
*
should be careless enough to upset the boxer
or a string pull out A short magic lantern
exhibition would finUh out a really pleasant
and Instructive cve > nlng's entertainment.

Brooklyn thermometers are not the only
In but It is safe
ones use on men-of-war ,
to say that none manufactured elsewhere
have the International reputation for ac
curacy which those from the borough of bab >
carriages enjoy. In the United States navy
and In the national weather bureau service
they are used exclusively. In fact there Is
hardly a place In the world In which it is
necessary to ascertain temperature to the
fraction of a degree wheie they are not
given the preference of all others. If you
are a traveler and are c\er In Japan , step
Into any scientific laboratory there and jou

struments are in high fa\or among learned

The factory for this It must of necpssltj
be termed , would never he recognized from
the outsid'1 It consists simply of a couple
of rooms In an apartment house. The ther
mometer industry'Is there ( onducted BO
quietly that even the neighbors in the ad
joining dwellings are not aware of Its pres
ence. Two sUHed workmen are all that
likely to result from the UEO ot a Brooklyn
thermometer. Those made for use In the
navy are tested every few dajs for months ,
until there Is absolutely no chance ot error
remaining.
A thermometer lately adopted by some of
the big battleships and orders for which are
now being filled for several of the emarlcr
vessels In the na\j , Is that which Is known
among experts us the Hicks pattern. It
takes Its name after the English manufac
turer who Invented It. H Is so complicated
In pattern that there Is but one man In
America who knows how to make It. He Is
omplojed In the Brooklyn factor } , where he
has his hands full. The attracthe feature
about this Instrument IB that It auto
matically records the lowest and the highest
temperatures to which It has been subjected
since last observed. This Is accomplished
without the use of Ink markel diagram , but
by little floats which atlcK in the tubes

Henry J Orecn. the owner of the Brookltn
workshop , is a close student and is little
known to the outsldo world. Among eminent
scientists and prominent ofllctals lu the
navy and weather bureau , ho has probably
a wider circle of friends than any other
man In America , Personally he ha *
made many Inventions , and has added
much to thermometer science , though he
freely admits that a large share of the
reputation of Brooklyn thermometers is not
due to himself. His father , who establlsh-d
the chop , eitabllsheil Iti reputation aUo ,
and gave Its present owner his practical
knowledge of exact thermometry.
Since the war broke out the shop has
been unable to supply the demands made
upon It by the United States navy alone.
The orders It has now on hand are weeks
behind and cannot Immediately be
filled because of the lack of workmen who
possess recognized skill sufficient to under
take them. This is all duo to the recent
wholesale conversion of merchant vessels for
acthe war service. Now that the war leer l
o\er It Is likely that before long the little
shop will resume Its quietude.
