A WAYSIDE TEA-HOUSE IN CHERRY-BLOSSOM TIME. The old castles which were the homes of thedaimio princes were built of stone; but these,too, were constructed so as to offer as littleresistance as possible to earthquake shocks.The walls slant from the base to the roof, andare supported within by immense timbers, theinward slope itself being a safeguard againstdanger from earthquakes. Buildings erectedaccording to the Japanese idea of what isnecessary to give security against earthquakeshave stood for centuries. Some wooden pa-godas of great height are known to have beenin existence for seven hundred years; and theold wooden museum at Nara, in which are and it is certainly a notable example of the almostimperishable nature of some Japanese woods.

tpassed right through the hat. TRIOKS f03 The Mesmerized Cross of the Orient* For this splendid and mystifying trick you will require sixordinary drinking straws. These straws must be fashionedinto the form of a cross by being bound with thread at theplace where the cross piece joins the upright. As an addi-tional security, and as a help to keep the cross perfectly flat,small pins are passed through the three straws at about half an inch from each extremity, as indicated in the first illus-tration. Besides these straws, a tiny wooden plug, just largeenough to fit inside the centre upright straw, will be required.A bent needle point is fixed into this plug, which is shown inthe drawing marked X. When desiring to present this illusion, the cross can bepassed round for examination, and the plug secretly insertedon receiving it back; or, better still, the cross can be fash-ioned with loose straws in front of the audience, who willthen be satisfied that it is quite ordinary and unprepared.
