afford plenty Of amusement to the lit
tie folks, and, perhaps, not least so
because the element of fire Is involved
in its performance. Fasten five tooth
picks together as in the accompanying
diagram. 1t will be found that they
then form a framework which may be
handled without its falling apart. Care
should be taken in making this frame
work not to break the toothpicks, for
the success of the thing depends on it's
elasticity
Then make the figure of little
man out Of cork or any other light
material, and place him on one Of the
corners of the framework, as, for in
stance, about where the letter B Is
shown on the accompanying diagram.
Place the framework, with the little
man in his proper place, on the rim
of an ordinary tumbler and then set
fire to the toothpick end c and D.
When the fire has burned the tooth
picks at their point of intersection
there will, of course, be nothing to
counteract the force exerted by the
rest of the framework and the whole
affair will shoot up into the air, the
little gentleman being thrown several
feet as a result of the terrible catas.
