The apple is al ready prepared, having been cut into piaces and stuck together with an adhesive substance, and a thread with a knot at the end, pulled through it from the "wings," so that it flies to bits when the gun is fired, is "how it is done."

When, again, the ah is shot off a cigar which the assistant is smok ing a piece of wire is pushed by his tongue through a hollow passage in the c ; :r;ir. thus t!imting off the ash at the moment of firing. A favorite but simple trick is the hooting from some distance at an oranire ho J in a lady's hand. Great applfi se ifl invariably forthcoming when the bullet drops out on her cutting open the fruit. It is insert ed by hand earlier in the evening. Another popular trick is that of miffing out lighted candles. Half av dozen are placed in front of a screen, in which es many small holes are bored, one against each candle wick. At the moment of firing a confederate behind the screen sharplv blows out each can- uie wun a pair ot Deiiows. Jn most instances where a ball or other object has to be broken on a living person's head blank car tridge is used and the effect pro duced by other means. A special wig with a spring concealed iu ii worked by a wire under the clothe? is generally used, the confederate manipulating the spring simulta neously wkth the firing of the rifle. As the ball is of extremely thin glass, a mee touch suffices to shat tervit. In these exhibitions some of the rifle "experts" invite gentlemen from the audience to testify that the weapon is indeed loaded. The cartridge shown looks very well, but it is a shell of 'thin wax blackened to resemble a leaden bullet. It would not hurt a fly.
