We arc now ready to begin the work

to prepare us many insulators as shall

but are constructed of any closely

inches long. and this must be drawn
into Il loop, as seen in figures and Il,
drawing No. 5, the ends to be secured
by fine copper wire wound tightly
around the ends of the cord so that the
insulator may not come apart
Now take the end of the coil of wire
which should be lying on the ground

the insulating loops as may be needed
for the whole way-and l may add it is
much better to string too many than
too few insulators on your line, for you
can easily snip off all that are unncccs-

is complete. While it is necessary

say that the 'Pccadilly" is fiat last

on the ground to the very end. The
shoe is wide across the ball. and has a
great SWING to the outside, giving
plenty of room to the little toe. This
