pass describe upon 1t circle having Tho
same diameter as the box, and half an incl
outside of this draw another. Then with /
sharp pair of scissors cut out small pieces
of the parchment all around the edge be
tween the lines, as shown in Fig. 1.
Soak the parchment in warm water foi
a few minutes, then stretch and glue ii
fast to the end of the tin cylinder, binding
the glued ends on with linen thread wounl
tightly around tho box over the ends.
The threads help the glue in keeping the
parchment firmly fastened to the tin and
relieve the glued ends from excessive strain
When the parchment is dry, 1t will be
tightly stretched, like the head of a drum
The outer part of the can may then be GOV
cred with some colored paper securely fas
tened on with glue. This will hide the til.
and improve the appearance of this part o.
the locust.
Next white out round stick inches
long and quarter of an inch in thickness.
To one end fasten small bone button witt.
two or three slim steel wire nails as showl
in Fig 3. Melt together piece of rosii
and piece of sealing wax quarter the
size of the rosin lump. They may be placed
in the cover of the box and held over =
lighted candle. Then work the melted
rOSln around inc SUCK 1Or an InCn OF uWt
at the end where the button is fastened, 50
that it will appear as shown, also in Fig. =.
Now obtain several strong horsehairs
and form IA loop at one end of them by ty
ing knot three-quarters of an inch from
the end. This loop is to slip over the rosn
ed end of the stick and will be prevented
from working off by the button The otho;
ends of the horsehair are to be passed
through small hole made in the center o.
the parchment head and through small
button or piece of cardboard, the ends be.
ing tied in large knot to prevent thoi,
pulling through again. The finished Locust
will then appear as in the illustration. 4,
make it sing, grasp the stick in one hanc
and swing the cylinder about it. This vii
cause it to give out a sound similar to that
produced by a large locust in full flight
and the faster it is revolved the louder il
will sing.
The sound is produced by the friction Of
the horsehair against tho rosn on III,
stick, transmitted to the tightly stretches
parchment and augmented by it's vibra
ton. The pressure is chiefly duo to thu
centrifugal force of the tin box as it i.
briskly swung through the air.
A large locust can be made from Il cgl
or inches high, swung from the end o.
a stick feet long, but in this case thu
stick must be held in both hands. SUCH
locust, however, should only be used on
of doors, as the noise would be deafenine
in the house,. Harry Adams.

EscaDed Punishment.

George Pomeroy was very mischievuus
boy in school, but quick to think of some
means to escape punishment when caught
in a scrape.
When in the sixth grade, his cousin from
New York state was visiting him, and one
day they went to school together. They
sat in a double seat behind the high stove
and were having good time, but becom'
ing rather noisy the attention of the teach.
er was ATTRACTED and she stole down un,
noticed by either until she was just in
trent of them. Before she could reprimand
them, however, George arose perfectly com
posed and said:
pardon me, teacher-Miss Payne, this
is my cousin, Frank White, from Buffalo
who with his parents, is visiting us
Mother would be pleased to have you call. >
The Introduction and invitation were SC
naturally and cordially given the teacher
could not repress smile, and, it is need
less to say, no punishment was given

a person unacquainted with Bicycle
construction attempting to dismantle
a wheel or effect home repair will
often do more dameage in five min

Bicycles is very intricate, with left
hand lock-nuts and very fine threads,
which will slip if the least bit over
strained.
Many of the parts require special
wrenches to turn them, of which we
have a large assortment, together with
the other tools used in Bicycle con

do the work.
