THE MAGIC GLASS.

i A Hat FuU of Wadding In • Tumbler oT Alcohol. In order to perform, this simple and amusing trick, show" to .jour au-j dience a glass filled with alcohol! and a high silk hat filled with wad-! ding, which you must have pulled! out with your fingers, so as to make it occupy the greatest possible space.j Then announce that you are going! to make all the wadding enter the

glass of alcohol, without spilling a single drop of the liquid. For this it will suffice to take the wadding, bit by bit, and introduce; it into tho alcohol, which it will' rapidly drink up. Pack it down into the bottom of tho glass, and you will soon have a hat full of the wadding in an ordinary wine glass of alcohol, which you can triumphantly display to the audience, saying to them: “You see that I have not spilled a drop.”
