ally succeed in solving the difficulty
without any explanation. / say, then,
after you have made the puzzle try and
solve it before you read up the explana-
tions.
Take a piece of hard wood, an inch
wide and six inches long. At half an
inch from either end make a brad-awl
hole. In the middle cut out a small
oval hole. Procure ntwo glass beads,
which must be too large to pass through
the oval hole. Take piece of Irvine
about eighteen inches long, double it
at the middle and pass the loop through
the oval hole, and then pass the two
ends of the Irvine through the loop
Take bead and thread it on one of
the ends of the Irvine, and fasten that
end to one - the brad-awl holes. Do
the same with the other bead and end
of Irvine, and fasten at the opposite
brad-awl hole.
Your puzzle is now complete, and
ought to appear like the diagram. The
puzzle is to get the two beads togeth-

pass through the oval hole, is not easy

take the taco strings passing through
the oval hole and draw them toward
you. The loop viii be drawn through

If you wish To make more compli-

the length of the strip Of wood; but, in
making the holes, remember they must
run alternately = beginning with a

You may form as many Hoops" as
you like, and amuse yourself by get
