TILLAMOOK HEADI * fiat of coiuurihe . The Popular Coffee Trick and How It 1$ Performed. METHODS OF THE MAGICIAN. Changing Whits Paper Into Milk. Blue Paper Into Mocha and Bran Into Cut Sugar la Comparatively Easy Whan You Have Been Shewn the Way. A trick always popular with the pro fessional conjurer la that known as the "coffee trick." though some high falutin title, as. for InMance. “Mar about Mocha." Is better for a pro gram. it has the advantage, too, of not conveying any Idea of what the trick la to be. The trick Is as suita ble for the drawing room as for the stage, and an amateur with a little practl<-e may do It easily, Remember, with a little practice, for, like every thing In conjuring, not only a little but sometimes a great deal of practice Is neeenwiry If the performer desires to do his tricks with ease aud skill and so as to bewilder his audience. When about to present this trick the performer has on a table three wooden boxes, a large goblet shaped glass jar and two German silver “shakers" or cups, such as are used In mixing lem- <>u Juice, Ice. etc., for a glass of lem In one of the boxes Is a onade. quantity of bran, tn another some pieces of chopped up white paper and In the third a similar lot of blue pa per. These, with two pieces of black velvet, each about nine inches square, and n pa|>er cylinder, are all that ap pear to tie used In the trick. Picking up one shaker, the performer tills it with white paper and immediately |H>urs It back Into the box. Again he dl|u< the shaker Into the Imx aud. with a shoveling motion, tills it aud stands It on a table so that every one may see It. The other shaker he tills In the same way. but with the blue pa per. Finally the glass jar is tilled with brnu aud stood on a table by Itself. Over one shaker Is spread one of the velvet squares and on top of It Is placed a small, round metal plate. The other shaker is covered with the sec ond velvet square, but without auy metal plate. "Itemember," says the performer, "this cup Is tilled with white pil|ier and that one with blue,” and. pulling the velvet piece off one cup. he [siura from It Into a small pitcher about a pint of milk—"The utllk of human kludtiess ns extracted from the dally press." Removing-1he metal plate and the velvet from the second cup. lie pours from It Into the first cup ••steam ing Misha coffee; no grounds for complaint." Picking up tin* paper cyl inder. he drops It over the up|>er part of the glass jar, and. lifting II up al most Immediately, It Is found that the bran la gone and the Jar is filled with lump sugar. It Is a showy trick which Is general ly followed-by applause, that sweetest of music to a performer. Here is the explanation' In ench box of tmper ts a duplicate shaker, one tilled wPb milk, the other with coffee Fitted Into the month of each shaker Is n shallow metal saucer, the edges Haring out so ea to rest on the mouth of the cup. At one point on the edge of ench saucer Is soldered a semicircle of stiff wire about the size of a dime, so that the performer may easily grasp It. On each saucer is glued some bits of the pa|>er with which the «halter is sup|H»«ed to be HI led. These shakera stun«’ upright In the l»»x In such position that the wire piece of the saucer will be toward the jierformer when be is ready to remove the velvet cover. As he shovels the paper Into the shaker he leaves that one In the box. grasps the other tilled with milk or coffee and brings It out some of the loose bits of pa|ier cling ing round the top. These he brushes off csreleasly sn<l In doing so. a lien necessary, adjust» the shaker so that the wire finger piece will be In tbe proper positloo. In covering the shak ers the performer takes bold of the velvet rovers so that the thumb and the third ami fourth fingers are under the cover, and with these he ca'cbcs bold of tbe projecting finger piece, lifts up tbe sowers and draws them off. dropping them Instantly Into« pad ded box or bag fastened at the back of the table.

If a needle is shoved lulo a cork un til just the tip end show« on ibe oppo site side and tbe needle Is then broken off so that the lipper end Is flush with ur hidden under the top surface ou tbe cork an Interesting thing may be shown, known as the iucreane of pres sures. If this cork tie now placed ueedle point down ou a copper ceut or other small coin a light blow ou top of lhe cork with a hammer will drive the ueedle through Ibe copi>er. The expla nation Is as follows: Everything has its limits of resist ance. aud we may define this In terms to tbe square Inch that will overcome IL Take« ten pound weight and place it on a surface of two square lu> ties; tbe pressure Is evidently five pouuds to tbe square inch. Now lake away one of tbe square inches, and there is just as evidently a pressure ot ten pouods to the square Inch Decrease this surface to the dimensions ot a needle (mint and put a five pound blow on the ueedle head The pres sure to the square Inch at the point Is tremendous So. of course, it can tie forced through almost anything, pro vided tbe ueedle is kept from break Ing For this purpose the cork In sup plied, which kee|« lhe needle from starting to bend, having for this pur pose wtkit might lie called an lutiuile- ly Inclined plaue or straight line. This phenomenon explains several things of frequeut occurrence. Cy clones sometimes drive straws through trees three aud four feet thick The compressed air round the straw keeps it from bending, and the enormous force driving It forces It through. Of course lu the case of the needle mid. In fuel, any pointed instrument gradually getting larger from the polut tbe advantage of tbe iuclined plaue Is made use of In corn Inning the motion As It takes much less force to roll n barrel up au Inclined plauk into a dmir than to lift It directly from the ground to Use door, ho we can separate two things or two parts of the same thing easier with a pointed instrument (which Is tbe same thing ns a round wedpei I ha ii with an instrument of Ibe same site all the way.-SL Units Re public. | of All Tr«d»o.
