The latest prank of miscellaneous boys
round town says the Newark correspondent
of the Wilmington Ecery Ecening is
to attach stout string to electric
light wires running into private houses.
When rho occupants of the house desire
to pass off into dreamland they are
prevented by most mysterious and inde-
scribatle noise, which seems to invade the
entire house and leads inmates to make a
systamatic INIT fruitlass search for the ori-
gin or explanation of the unearthly sounds.
The noise is produced by pushing a tin can
with hole in its end up and down a well
rosined cord which in turn is attached to the
service wire. 1t is very effective instru-
ment of torture to the ear and is conducive
of the thinking of things supernatural
The tin can arrangement can be mlaipu-
lated at great distance from the house and
played upon so that the perpetrators are
able to escape detection and enjoy a COM
Portable immunity from boot jack, brick
bats or scalding water. Generally speak
ing the victims of the trick never do solve
the problem as to the origin of the uncanny
sound
