prevent their touching each other as
shown in Fig a. which is an illustra-
tion of a battery a boy can make as
described.
To charge the cells obtain two or
three pounds of sal ammoniac and dis
solve it, using half pound to pint
of water; mix this in a separate jar
and then pour the fluid into the bat
terry jars, filling them up to the dot
ted line shown in Fig. 4.
Attach copper wires to the carbons
and wires and zinc and if two or more
cells are to be used connect them in
series, the wire from a zinc to the car
bon of the next cell so on to the end,
leaving as result the wire from the
carbon Of the first cell and that from
the zinc of the last one. Keep the
ends of these wires apart and when
YOU have finished experimenting with
the magnets or anything else detach
one wire or break the circuit, other
wise the batteries will spend themsel-
YES.
The greater the number of batteries
the stronger the current, and conse-
quently the power of the magnets will
be greater. To make a more powerful
battery than the sal ammoniac will
render put in the empty jars about
half a pound of bichromate of potash,
fill the jars to the dotted line and with
stick carefully stir the fluid until
the chemical is dissolved, when deep
orange colored fluid will be the result
Immerse the zinc and when the con-
nections are made a very strong mag
netic current will be produced in the
cores. Be careful when handling the
bichromate battery. The fluid is very
strong and will eat clothing. Always
remove the zinc directly you have fin
ished with the battery. If not the
fluid will eat the zinc away quickly.
In a week or two shocking COLI

one you can have no end of fun
among your friends and at home with

wire is wound flush with the outside
edge of the washers bind the wire coil
with paper and string to prevent the
coils from becoming unwound.
THESE wires, connected with the poles
of a cell or battery, will render the
soft iron magnetic and all sorts of fun
can be had with it, and if sufficient
current is passed around the core it is
really wonderful to see what heavy
things the magnet will lift.
A double or horseshoe magnet is
made from a piece of round iron bent
as shown in Figure 2, on which the
disks of wood are fitted. The iron
need not be more than three-eighths of
an inch in diameter, and blacksmith
will bend it into shape for you by heat
ing and turning it in wise. Through
the back flanges bore small holes close
to the iron, as shown in Figure @,
and from the inside pass an end of the
wire, leaving six or eight inches to pro-
ject outside.
Begin with winding the wire around
the top rod, wrapping it tight and
evenly and when the front flange is
reached continue the wire up and over
the already wound part and wind the
wire back again to the rear flange.
In this manner the winding should
be carried on until the space between
the fianges is completely filled up.
Wind the lower spool in a similar
manner and then connect the bottom
wire from one spool with the top wire
from the other, as shown in Figure 3,
leaving the unattached wires to be
united with battery.
After the wire has been wound IN a
neat and compact manner the side OF
each spool can be covered with a piece
Of soft leather. feed or enamel cloth

LMosT every boy has a horseshoe

LMOST every boy has a horseshoe
n magnet among his collection of
odds and ends, which is gener-
ally source of amusement. but il he
has an electro magnet the experiments
with it are far more amusing.
Electro magnets differ from steel
magnets in that they are made of soft
iron and are rendered magnetic by an
electric current passed around them.
The stronger the current the greater
the magnetism.
Such a magnet can be made from
any scrap of soft or cast iron, from
the size of piece Of telegraph wire to
that of a gigantic mass Of metal weigh
ing tons, but for boys use a magnet
of moderate dimensions will answer
every purpose.
A single electro magnet is shown in
Figure /, and a double one in Figures
and g. and as it is a very inexpensive
piece of apparatus to make any boy
can have several Of them at the same
time.

PRINCE KHAN's ADVENTURE
BY Elizabeth McGregor-Class A.
Fifteen Years

Little Prince Khan ruled over very
rich kingdom and was much beloved by
his subjects for his gentle ways and
just ruling. There were, however, two
persons of the court who were very
jealous of the prince. These were his
grand vizier and the vizier's son, Sellie.
Sellie was just Prince Khan's age and
looked very much like him except that
he always wore a crown.
One night the grand vizier had his
wicked slaves seize Prince Khan while
he slept, clothe him in rags, and carry
him to large forest some miles from
the palace. Then the vizier dressed Sell
lie in Prince Khan's garments and
put him in his bed. In the morning
he made a great outcry, saying that
SelIie had been stolen in the night.
When the attendants of the prince
came to dress him they were very
much troubled for he was cross and
ordered them around as he had never
done before. When the people came to
plead their cases at his morning au-
dience they were greatly alarmed and
said: "Our good little Prince Khan
has gone mad" for the prince used to
smile and say "Yes' to their plead
ings, while Sellie said mo-" and
frowned.
When the real little Prince Khan
awoke in the morning he wandered
about asking everyone he met to tell
him the way to his palace, but every
one laughed and said: Little boy, you

UNLUcKY HENRIETTA
BY Grace Russell-cIass B-Thlrteen
Years

There was great CONSERVATION all
through the McKyser family. To have
twins born was an ordinary, everyday
affair; for had there not been six born
already? The parents had named them
alphabetically as they happened along,
but to have just one child born, and
the thirteenth. was no light affair and
troubled and worried even the neigh
bors.
They finally decided to name the girl
Henrietta. after an aunt of her moth
ers, for IL they suggested any other
name somebody was sure to have that
name and no woman wanted an un-
lucky child named after her.
Poor Henrietta certainly had more

DOLLY LIMERICkS

A dear little dolly named Bella
Once fell through trap to the cellar.
She belonged to our Bess,
And l leave you to guess
How every one hated to tell her!
Then, there was boy dolly named Tedd!
He looked very robust and ready,
But hated the strife
OF the strenuous life,
For his legs they were rather unsteady.
