An Amateur Electricians BelI That Would

An Amateur Etectrician's Hell That Would
Ring Until He Was Awake.
He has rooms in big apartment build
Ing, and he has devised an elaborate
scheme to avoid sleeping too long in the
morning. He hasn't much faith in alarm
clocks because he forgets to wind them
up, and he has discovered that pounding
on the floor has very little effect. He en-
gagged the janitor to pound on the door at
a certain hour every morning, but 1t failed
to have the effect after the first two or
three mornings. Then ho decided to try
electricity.
He was an amateur electrician himself,
so 1t was easy for him to put bell over
the head OF his bed and run wire to the
door. But no ordinary button would do
him. He was afraid he would turn oyor
and go to sleep again rs soon as the bell
stopped ringing. Consequently he put II
switch. on the outside of the door and ar
ranged with the jnnitor TO come up and
turn the switch at q certain hour every
morning. That would start the bell ring
ing, and 1t would not stop until he got W
and turned of the current He was nat
urally proud of his device. He felt that
he had solved a great problem. And he
had. There was no sleeping in THAT room
after the janitor had turned the switch,
for it was necessary to get up AID cross

no arrangement for notifying the janitor
when he was not at home, and the first
night that he failed to come home there
was trouble. The janitor went to the door
at the usual hour in the morning, turned

In active operation.
Occupants Of adjoining apartments were
unanimous in the ASSERTION afterward that
the bell did not shirk Its work til 1t morn

anyway, but on ordinary occasions it was

any complaint. This time, however, IL

about half an hour, and they rebe led

see what the trouble might be aud later
enjoyed themselves by pounding on the
door of the amateur electricians room and
yelling to the supposed occupant to shut

they talked of breaking down tie door,
but finally decided to send for thu janitor
and let him do 1t.

indignant protests. He hardened to them
