He drew it slowly away, and she had vanished. The audience gasped. Magic? Of course not. You can do it yourself. Here's how to perform this wonder and many other kinds of 'black stage magic." 'The secret is a rather deep, box-like stage fitted entirely with black cloth. The light in the room must be very low, the only brilliant light being made by a row of candles or lamps fixed down along each side of the stage. No light must shine into the stage, but Into the eyes of the audience. Anything black against this black stage is invisible, The disappearing trick 1s worked by having a black cloth inside the white cloth thrown over the girl. When the white cloth is pulled away she retains the black one over her and cannot be seen. She might pull the black cloth around her so that her head remains uncovered. The audi- ence is then startled to see a head apparently floating in the air. She can add to the effect by answering question in a mysterious, faraway voice, For a black stage show you need an invisible assistant. That assistant must be dressed entirely in black, with black gloves and a black cylinder mask. This mask is made from a piece of silk and is stitched in the form of a cylinder large enough to pull over the head, with two holes cut in the proper place for the eyes. Dressed in this way, the assistant can move about on the stage without being seen at all by the audience. With the help of this assistant, of ed or Sosn le ~9 CHAPETR XXVIII .. ....

The magician waves his hand and a table slowly floats in through the air. But the assistant gnust be careful not to let his black-gloved hands be seen or the edge of the table. There is the barrel illusion, for In. stance. Two barrels are placed on the stage, rather far apart. The magician collects some jewelry from the audience and drops the heap inte one of the barrels. Immediately he turna it upside down, and the jewelry does not drop out. He shows the audience that the barrel is quite empty. Then he walks over to the other barrel, turns it upside down dnd out falls the jewelry. The assistant, you see, had held » little black bag inside the first bar rel and Into this the jewelry dropped, He then carried the bag, invisible te the audience because of its color, over to the second barrel, which was pad. ded Inside, and dropped the Jewelry in.

But he used to be in a tailor shop in Minneapolis (they do say he's a smart needle- pusher, at that) and he tries to let on that he's a regular city fellow. They say he tries to make people think he's a poet--catries books around and pretends to read 'em. Myrtle Cass says she met him at a dance, and he was mooning around all over the place, and he asked her did she like flowers and poetry and music and everything; he spieled like he was a regular United States Senator; and Myrtle--she's a devil, girl, ha! ha!--she kidded him along, and got him going, and hon- est, what d"you think he said?

He was wearing the awful- lest clothes, with the waist pinched in like a girl's. He 'was sitting on a rook doing nothing, but when he heard the Gougerling car coming he snatched a book out of his pocket, and as they went by he pretended to be reading it, to show off, And he wasn't really good-looking._just kind of soft, as B.

Fuses are used to pro- tect electric houselighting eir- cuits from overloads; why not in this case? Recognizing this need, certain manufacturers are now making a fuse which can be very readily slipped over the prong or prongs of a vacuum tube, which are con- nected to the tube filament. Noth- ing could be simpler. It is advisa- ble to use two fuses for each tube, one on each filament prong. The fuse material is contained in a little cartridge, which has a brass cap on each end. One cap has a hole, into which the prong will slip, while the other is a flat surface, which makes contact with the socket contact plece. Any tube sockets can be used. The fuses are made for carrying capacities of 4, ¥, 1, 14, 134, 2, 2% and 3 amperes.

"= If a circuit containing a coil of wire is placed so that the coll is in close proximity to a coil in a second circuit we may refer to the first coil as the "primary" and the second as the "secondary." If an electric current flows in either circuit it will, of course, flow through the coll in the circuit. An alternating electric current is one which alternately increases and decreases in strength and re- verses its direction of flow. We are just mow principally inter- ested in the fact that the cirrent strength does alternately increase and decrease. Suppose that such & current flows in the primary coil. The magnetic field sur- rounding that coil increases and decreases with the curreut strength, That is, it expands and contracts periodically with the increases and decreases. In ex- panding and contracting the mag- netic field cuts across the turns of wire in the secondary coil, Due to expansion and contraction, the field which surrounds the second- ary coil is constantly varying, and an electromotive force will be created In it by "electromagnetic induction." If the cofl is in a closed circuit an electric current will be forced to flow because of this electromotive force or pres- sure. The current in the second- ary coll and circuit 1s said to be "induced" by the alternating cur- rent flow in the primary cofl and circuit. If the number of RADIO, EXPLAI NED Y.M.C.A. RADIO ScHOOL -- -- ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION. coll is greater than the number of turns in the primary coil, the voltage (electromotive force) in the secondary is greater than that in the primary, and we have what is known as a "step-up trans- former." Such transformers are in daily use in radio work, as well as electric power work. If the secondary turns are fewer than the primary turns, we have a "step-down transformer," and the secondary voltage is lower than the primary. The interesting thing is that, by electromagnetic induction, a cur- rent can be forced to flow in a secondary circuit. Also, that if the source of power is an alter- nating current we can either step the voltage up or down at will by using a suitably constructed transformer. It quite often hap- pens that an alternating current at 15,000 to 20,000 volts 1s desired in a radio circuit. A generator to furnish this high electromotive force would be impractical, so an alternating current is fed into the primary of a transformer at, say, a pressure of 110 volts and pro- duces a pressure of the desired high voltage in the transformer secondary. = In the case of an alternating current transformer it is quite customary to wind the primary around an iron core and to wind the secondary over the primary. An Insylating tube or layer of in- sulating material is used to sep- arate the primary from the sec- turns of wire in the secondary Will readers interested In these with the editor by mail?
