If a current of electricity is passed
through a coil of insulated wire, any piece
of iron viii be attracted toward the CEN
ter of the coil.
A coil of cotton-covered wire, such as
described in the preceding article, if the
ends of the wire are connected to the ter
ninals or wires Of a battery, will lift and
sustain a piece of iron with considerable
force. The coil must be held with its OPEN
ing vertical. 1t will then, if the battery
is strong enough, hold up a large nail or
other bar of iron, in a way quite surpris-
ing to one not familiar with the expert
lnent The coil and bar of iron are shown
in Fig. l. AS the iron plunges into the
coil the two are often called the coil and
plunger.''
AN ELECTRIC JUMPING JACK.
The coil and plunger can be utilized for
various toys, such as the electric jumping
Jack.
The jumping jack must be made like any
ether of his family. As shown in Fig. 2
he has flat back on which his electric
1lechanisnl is mounted. This body may
be made hollow, and the apparatus con-
cealed within.
The electric mechanism consists of a
coil and plunger. To the latter are con-
nected the inner ends of the jumping
Jacks arms and legs. When a current is
passed through the coil the plunger IS
drawn down into the coil, and the legs
and arms fly UP. On opening or break
ing the current the plunger rises and the
limbs return to their former position.
The diagram Gig. . is self-eXplanatory.
The body of the jumping jack is shown
with a coil, c, attached to it. sectional
