TWO SIMPLE CONJURING TRICKS.
A Wonderful Knot.-—For this you require a sheep bone, which you must offer to tie in a knot. How is it done ? By soaking the bone in a strong acid until it is pliable. On the same principle you can put an egg into a bottle. Soak it in vinegar until the shell is quite soft ; then squeeze it through the mouth of the bottle. To one who does not know the secret, the egg in the bottle seems a marvellous thing. Acid aets in the alkaline lime of the bone and the egg shell.
