choice MISCELLANY A Marvaloua Magician. There has been discovered a Juggler I samed JoaeSy, who outdoes all tho ether conjurers, says his discoverer, a YJ lie. Abbott Ho performs what other Mipf""" nave only urcamcu 01 ac complishing. With his card tricks the spectators may bring their own packs and choose the cards freely. No threads are used, nor Is there any visi ble connection with the goblet that contains the pack, and yet any card will rise at Jose CTt's command at any time. The enigmatic cube Is first a one Inch cube which Joseffy produces from the air, and It Is then seen to grow while In his hands to a two Inch, a four Inch and a nine Inch cube. This he now sets In full Tlew upon his table, where It Is seen to grow slowly to a size of FOR THE CHILDREN A Great Clock. Perhaps the boys and girls know that correct time for all Europe Is fur nished by the observatory at Green wich. England, says the Chicago News, which Is also the place from which longitude Is reckoned. It U natural, therefore, that the observatory clock should be tended with the utmost care and that It should never be allowed to get either too fast or too slow. But no piece of mechanism Is perfect, and this great clock If allowed to run on un tended would soon wander far enough I away from sun time to cause a good j deal of confusion and trouble. As It Is. I they never permit It to get more than one-tenth of a second too fast or too I slow, a fraction of time that Is almost Inappreciable. Of course so small an i Another Scar.

A Boo si la Shipbuilding. Reports from the big shipyards of Scotland state that the marked decline in shipbuilding noted for a year past has abated and that orders for new ships have come to hand In such num bers as to portend a speedy revival of the Industry. A similar awakening has been felt In Germany and France, and the depression of the early months of the year has given way to cheer. A ship shortage would be a great drawback to international trade. Rec ord crops make more bulk to haul re gardless of the market selling price, and If any great country suffers from poor crops the tonnage of the sea is Increased. It is In the nature of things j that the ocean carrying trade must I grow so long as the world is at peace, and it is a sign of confidence that ship owners are now willing to branch out in the face of the general commercial reaction.

If I should start one I'd get a lot of telephone operators who'd belong. But with a good many of them it's not the phone that gets tired so much as the one who runs the switchboard." Exchange. Consumption and tho Telephone. The panic recently created on the subject of the assumed danger lurking In the transmitter of the telephone Is not precisely new. It Is but the devel opment of a fear which has caused misgiving for some years. On the sup position that various germs of disease probably collect In the receiver and transmitter of the Instrument, at any rate In public telephone stations, some medical alarmists have thrown out suggestions that antiseptics, both In a 'dry state and In solution, should be applied for the safety of the telephone user.

When It Is B's turn he must tell A's question and C's answer, thus: "Why did you fall In the water?" "Because I like the beat." and so on. The game Is often played, by giving the right hand neigh bor a predicament and the left hand a solution and then telling the predica ment that comes from the left and the solution from the right. The game Is then called "predicaments." when It's a burnt- The Game of Hearts.
