To divide an apple into several parts, without breaking the rind:—Pass
a needle and thread under the rind of the apple, which is easily done
by putting the needle in again at the same hole it came out of; and
so passing on till you have gone round the apple. Then take both ends
of the thread in your hands and draw it out; by which means the apple
will be divided into two parts. In the same manner, you may divide it
into as many parts as you please, and yet the rind will remain entire.
Present the apple to any one to peel, and it will immediately fall to
pieces.
