make as much fun as any little device
you ever heard Of.
Here Is the way to make II: Select
i've Of the longest and smoothest
toothpicks you can find. and place
two Of them on the bottom of goblet
OF wineglass, turned upside down on
a table, in the form of the letter X
On these two place third one, so
that 1t will lie lengthwise along the
middle line of the letter.
Now place pick at each end so
that 1t will rest on top of the middle
one and under the ends of the crossed
ones. This will make a little bend in
the middle pick. causing enough pres
sure to hold the device to gether. The
picks may be more easily arranged IL
you get some one to help you.
Get a long cork and stick matches
into 1t to represent arms and legs.
An extra piece Of cork may be carved
into a sort of head for the figure, and
the effect will thereby be made more
grotesQue. Or you may make the
head with all the features out of new
bread. which is malleable enough for
the purpose. A little water color paint
will make eyes, nose. ears and cheeks
Now place the figure astride Of the
middle toothpick, at one end. and you
have everything ready for the ''going
of" Of the machine. To bring about
the catastrophe you have only to
touch lighted match to the end of
one of the crossed toothpicks, and
just as soon as enough Of 1t has burn
ed to reach the point Of junction the
whole device will fly to pieces. and
as the bent middle toothpick will
spring up when thus released from
pressure 1t will throw the figure into
space dismembered.
The result Is both startling and
amusing.
