Think of ll the time and trouble this wonderful Invention saves us every day. In the office and the home, for business and pleasure, the tele phone is surely a useful and necessary Instrument. But in spite of all its wonders a sim ple telephone is an easy thing for a boy to construct. I'll tell you how you can make one for less than 50 cents and with very few tools. Get a small cigar box, such as are used to hold 12 cigars. A box about four Frs iter .TYS.Z A..WEC6 Of TttJ Shape -SMUJl ttOCK-OfCABOH K)IN WtTfl WWi TO A CXtll OF TIN HGf.6 -i5i;ewiMCr how Trie vt CT T6WV, THAMSMTTe C0NN6CT6O A.WltCrCA56 RECEIVER. inches square and one inch deep is Just right. Cut a round hole In the center of the bottom about two inches in diameter. Now get a piece of very thin tin and cut it into a circle two and one-half inches around. A smalt piece of carbon about one-eighth inch thick and one-half inch equare should be fastened firmly to the center of this circle of tin, as shown in figure 1. The best way to do this is to cut notches In the sides of the carbon. With a nail drive four holes in the center of the tin circle and tie the carbon piece to the tin by drawing bare copper wire through these holes. The carbon must be very firmly faskned so that it cannot move. Next nail the tin circle just over the round hole in the cigar box with the car bon on the Inside. I'so very small brads for this purpose. Xow bend a strip of tin one-half inch wide and tBree inches long, as shown in figure 2. With a knife cut a tiny wedge-shaped piece of carbon with a sharp point, as shown in figure 3. Bind this piece with copper wire to the end of tin strip. Fig ure 4 will show you bow this is done. Nail the bottom of the tin strip to one of the sides of the cigar box so that the point of carbon pwses very lightly against the carbon plate on the tiu circle. See fig ure 5. Two holes should now be drilled in the lop side of the cigar box. In each of these holes should be fastened a brass binding post to connect our telephone wires. (A binding post is simply a nut or bolt of some kind to conveniently fasten the wires.) Solder a copper wire to the circle of tin and fasten the other end to one binding post. Solder another wire to the strip of tin and connect this to the other post. Our "transmitter" is now complete. It is cheaper tq buy a telephone "re ceiver" than it is to make one. Most electrical stores or experimenter's shops Jiave inexpensive ones for 45 cents. Fig ure fi shows one. Purchase one of these and your telephone is complete. Figure 7 shows how it is connected with a bat tery and line wire for talking. This tele phone should work several hundred feet on one dry cell or door-bell battery. The pointed carbon must bear very lightly against the tiny carbon plate. When some one talks into the plate anyone at the other end can hear what he Is saying very plainly. The receiver will cost 45 cents and the transmitter will cost little or nothing. The carbon may be cut from an old arc light carbon or from the carbon stick re moved from an old dry cell. The tfn used must be extremely thin. ' A tin telephone "diaphragm," already cut. in a circle, may be purchased for 8 or 10 cents. This is the best tin to use for the clrele, Very thin brass, if you have some, not over .01 of an Inch thick, will do instead of tin. Be careful not to bend the circle in any w ay when work ing with it. If all these directions are carefully followed you will have a dandy set that will give you much fun and in struction. Any boy can make the outfit iu an hour. Try it! A Cigar Ilox Camera. Pictures can readily be taken by any one with a cigar box and without a lens of any kiud. Select a deep, well-made box, as nearly cubical in shape as possible. In one end drill a tiny hole, one-thirty-second of an inch in diameter. Inside the box, on the end opposite the hole, carefully pin, by each corner, a sheet of "gas light" photo paper, which can be secured at any photo supply store vjeoGt Shaped piece pf Carbon REftOV TO Biyo to A iAunl CTat aaMrXtvte. .aM .i Al-a ASSErAJrdrr AaJfJ OWeJEOlMfr for 12c a dozen. Read the directions for handling, which accompanies each pack age, before attempting to use the paper. When the paper is in place, close the box tightly so that no light can enter, excepting through the "lens"' hole. Place the "camera" facing a house or tree or other object and allow it to stand for two or three hours, thus "ex posing" the, paper. Now "develop" and "fis" tne paper. The picture will appear inverted, that is the light parts will be dark and the dark parts light. When the "negative" has dried pin it over another sheet of photo paper and expose to daylight for five minutes. De velop and fix as before and you will have a fair picture of your object. Directions given with each package of paper will explain how to develop. A tube of developer costing 5 cents and a pound of "hypo" costing 3 cents, is all that Is needed in the way of chemicals. Use old dishes in which to do the devel oping. Odd Inventions of the War. In one of the trenches, close to the French lines, the Germans have fitted two trap doors which can be opened or closed be means of a mechanical device from a place of safely when an attack at night is feared. The outer door con sists of barbed wire netting, which they call a Spanish rider, and the inner door a few yards further back, is composed of three layers of armored steel plates with loop holes. If the attacking soldiers get between these two trap doors they are cornered; escape Is impossible. In one of the Vosges valleys the Ger mans have constructed a cable railway 500 yards long, capable of conveying sup plies for several thousand men. The rail way leads from the bottom of a mountain to the top, about 400 yards above the valley. A car takes 10 to 15 minutes from the bottom to the top and vice vejsa. Even the wounded men are transported on this ingenious line. Free Poland-China Hisuu-y. The Standard Poland-China Record Association has just issued a 32-page booklet entitled "A Pedigree Manual" and a "Short Story of the Early Hisiory of Poland-Chinas." Numerous requests have been received from breeders, stu dents and instructors In agricultural col leges, farm demonstrators and instructors in public schools, for a condensed history of the Poland-China breed. This booklet has been prepared to meet, these requests. The Poland-Chinas are strictly an American breed and this booklet deals with not only their origin and early his tory, but what Poland-Chinas are doing today. Instruction for the wilting of pedi grees giving in detail how to write a pedi gree, is one of the main features of this booklet. Copies of this booklet will be sent free upon application to the Standard Poland China Record Association, Ray Davis, Secretary, Muryville, Missouri, TltO TO A WITH jf ffg CQPPae wiae. kKD- yhtj-M A (B -u ORAL HYGIENE Mndorn dentistry is ever proKrssin. Methods of oilier day, the b-st thin known, are tieins replaced with hctler and more effective practice, and fore most In value Is oral hygiene. Maiiy dentists of today are fcpei-iiilUiiig tbtii efforts to this practice only. It has been demonstrate that chil dren with defective teetH have in creased their cflpaclty for learning fuliy 50 per cent after havins tbelr tuelli and mouth put In the proper condition and what is true of children is also true of adult We r-eadilv admit the annoyance, distress and inefficiency caused by a aimple toothache, but hardly less injurious to our nervous system and eeneral vitality is the detrimental Influence of decay of the teeth and infection of the sums. Ke cent discovery shows the mouth to be an incubator of disease germs and one. is fortunate indeed who can contin uously resist the arenn activity which finds extraordinary opportunity for de velopment In ibe unclean mouths. Bad breath, diseased mucous membrane and improper mastication necessarily result and. while "prevention ia better than cure," the up-to-date dentiu is conferring a. blessing on humanity by the application of the principles laid down in recent discoveries. Not only should the dentist thoroughly prepara himself tq do this, but further, he should give his- advanced knowledge to the patient. No disease or decay of tooth ttructtne tan develop on a clean tooth and yet so simple and important a process as cleansing the teeth and mouth is not properly practiced except by a very few people. Here is a great field of service to humanity, to put the teeth in such condition that they may easily be kept clean and prevent dis ease (prophylaxis), the treatment of inflamed gunia and the cuiina- of pus formation (pyorrhea), all of which will tax the skill of the most progressive dentist and still leave a great demand for inlays, porcelain fillings, bridge work and crowns. Your dental needs should have first attention, since health, appearance and efficiency are involved, and I shall be glad to have you consult me either by mail or at my office and will give you any information possible.
