soap bubble with a flower inside it As the bubble ought to last some time that it may be seen and admired by everybody in reach tl e best pos sible soap solution should be used so that the flim film may be strong this thi may be accomplished by pour ng a little gry glycerine cerine into the solution now take a large dinner plate and pour the solution into it to the depth of about one e gath of an inch then place a flower a rose a carnation or any other you choose in tn the centre centi e of the plate and over it place an ordinary tin funnel blow gently into the small end of the funnel and lift it slowly and gradually at a the same time keep on moin blowing ing until a good sized bubble has formed and then gently disengage the funnel this may be done by turn ing it at right angles but you must 11 1 how did the rose get there be very careful to avoid breaking the bubble when the funnel his been disen there will be a large bubble on the plate in the centre of which is the flower and those who did not see the bubble blown will wonder bow how the flower got there the T abd ent ball for the purpose of this trick a wooden ball two to inches or so in eter will be required an old cro ball will alt the purpose admirably this ball must be bored with a red hot iron not straight from end to end but so as to form a sort of angle in the middle but the points where the hole begins and ends should be opposite each other through the hole thus formed pass a piece of thin cord or string and at each end of this tie a large knot so as not to allow either of the ends to pass through the hole in the ball now ou are ready to perform the trick place one end of the string un der your foot and take the other in bour your light hand hold ng the string slack lift the ball up to the top of the string and let go of it when it n alil ill of course run rapidly down the E ring repeat this several times in order to show the audience that the ball runs the string quite freely and tell them that you can cause the ball to become quite obedient to dour our will again raise the ball to the top of the string and allow it to run down quits quite freely as before until it reaches the centre then tighten the string this causes the latter to be as it were gripped by the angle in the centre of the ball which will thereby bi b pre vented from fall ng further down the tring As the ball to drop to the bottom slack en the string and the ball will obey you raise the ball aa aga n and ask it to go down the string this is easily done by keeping leeping the string moderately tight f invite any of the company to select a part cular spot in the string at v m aich the ball mut rema n stationary this be ng accomplished by tightening the string as before when the ball has reached the desired spot the trick can be repeated as often as daire I 1 as it gives no clue to the secret if the slackening and tighten ing of the string be properly managed it nill be by the company the marching card
