Figure 7.

Strengthen your hanging bars by two
diagonal pieces.
A, Fig 6, shows how to cut notch
near the lower end of one hanging
bar, and a hole is bored near the end
of the opposite hanging bar.
To adjust the wheel place the top
bar across the bathtub. and then slip
the shaft in the hole in the hanging
bar. sliding the other end of the shaft
into the slot.
II the water is now allowed to run
slowly from the faucet and fall upon
the inside paddles. 1t will set the
wheel in motion. and this motion can
be transmitted TO any small and sim
pie piece OF machinery by means of
a belt, running from the spool which
to the wheel to a similar spool. at
tached to the machine.
II you make frame similar to that
which holds the water wheel. and
make 1t with much shorter hanging
bars, it will not be necessary to sup
port them with the diagonal pieces.
This second frame can be reversed
over the first frame. SO that the hang
ing-bars will set upright upon the
cross-bar, and when in that position a
small horizontal bar may be made to
revolve by connecting spool placed
upon this bar with the spool upon the
wheel shaft, by means of a string loop.
II this string is not too loose. nor yet
too tight, it will turn the top spool as
soon as the water sets the wheel at
the bottom spool in motion. Fig. Z
shows how q number OF funny ami
mails and men can be made to do cir
Gus tricks on the bar. to the great de-
light of the spectators.

THE SOURCES OF PLUCK.

Regarding the sources OF pluck
few words are in order. II may be
due to the last straw approaching and
in desperation it is fought OF and a
new kind of pluck acquired. 1t may
come by anger or righteous indigna-
ton. II may come by better care OF
the health and a clearer view OF the
goal. Danger. love, hope, ambition
and prayer invite pluck to come and

their pluck by appealing to their Crea-

dignified at Windsor in Queen Vic
toria's time to serve apple tart for

The apple tart was served on silver

all that. In India, however, such un-
affected dainties do not harmonic

A trembling, retainer gasped; that 1t
was rice pudding. No less a person
age than the viccroy's consort had
ordered the humble pudding which
eminent statesmen may be seen eat

enjoyment any day of the parlia-
