"that as we call 'em, don't fool animals. I've seen that proved over and over again. A few years ago I had what is known as the 'Mystic Maze' at the Nashville exposition. It was simply a small room filled with mirrors, so arranged that you seemed to be in a narrow corridor, full of turns. It was very puzzling, and I used to get lost in it myself, but it never bothered my dog a moment.

He would run through it from end to end at full speed and never bump against a mirror. "1 saw something on the same line In Frisco not long ago. A friend of mine had an illusion called 'The Haunted You get in what seems to be an ordinary swing, hung in the center of a good sized room, and the thing begins to move. It goes back and forth and finally clear over the top -that is to say, it seems to. What really turns around is the room itself.

The swing stands perfectly still. It Is a good illusion, and when the room is revolved rapidly there never was a man who could keep his head in the swing. It seems as if he must certainly pitch out. and if the motion is kept up he gets deathly sick.

It will be noted that the conclusions arrived at by the reverend gentlemen in the first sentence of the extract were in the nature of a prediction which has been completely fulfilled: the conversion of the heathens, or Indians, here, we can say but little, nor do we see any means thereunto until by the numbers and power of our nation they are subdued and brought under some policy and our people show them a better example than they have bitherto done. "We have had one Indian here with us full two years, 80 that he could read and write good Dutch.

We Instructed him in the grounds of religion. He also answered publicly in the church and repeated the prayers. We likewise presented him with a Bible order to work through him some good among the Indians. But it all resulted in nothIng. He has taken to drinking of brandy.

The West Virginia mountaineer lives very close to nature, and viewed from many standpoints the relation is characterized by pleasing amenities. Juicy berries refresh him along the road; nuts drop into his path; "sang" (ginseng), which makes one of his sources of revenue, reveals itself to his eye as he follows the cows to pasture; a cool brook springs up to quench his thirst when weary of following the plow; pine knots are always within reach to make light as well as warmth; mud and stones easily combine in his hand to shape a daub chimney and a trough dug out of an old tree furnishes a receptacle that is as good for dough at one end as for a baby at the other.Popular Science Monthly.
