How to Play Tether Tennis

'" HIS Is one of the best of the out
 door amusements. It does not
 cost much to purchase your out
 fit from the sporting goods de- partment; but if you wish, you can make your own outfit.
 Set Up an upright wooden pole, ten feet high and seven and one-half inches in circumference at the base, imbedding 1t securely in the ground.
 Paint a black line around 1t six feet above the ground.
 Smooth the ground around 1t for the court. draw a circle around the pole with a radius of three feet, and straight across the middle of this circle draw a line extending ten feet on each side Of the pole (twenty feet altogether). Draw four lines inclosing your court making it exactly twenty feet square, divided into halves for the two players.
 Six feet from the pole, on each play CTS side, draw a cross to mark where each player must stand for serving.
 Take an ordinary tennis ball, inclose if in A linen cover, and fasten 1t to string with a ring made of stout linen cord Suspend this from the top of the pole by a heavy braided fishltne, seven ana one-half feet long. leaving two and one-half feet between it and the ground when at rest.
 Ths game between the two players is to drive the ball in opposite directions, the constant tendency Of the ball being to wind about the post. The one who first serves, chooses the direction in which to wind the ball His opponent must try to prevent his winding the bali in that direction and do his best to wind it in the opposite direction.

 Use tennis racquets for striking. The ball may be hit once. and must then go irto the opponents court.
 The ball is served from the place marked by a cross.
 Each player must keep himself, his arm and his racquet within his own court, outside the three-foot radius cir cle that has been drawn about the pole.
 If 1t ever becomes necessary to give by winding or unwinding, always un- wind.

How to Make an Aquarium

spoonbill fish, black catfish and numer- ous other varieties. se
 In a properly made aquarium 1t is never necessary to change the water. Properly made means this-to put in the water a certain number of plants (which inhale the carbonic acid gas that the animals have thrown of. and sep- arate 1t into carbon and oxygen, absorb ing the former and leaving the latter free for the animals to breathe again), which must be in just the right propor- ton to the number of animals you want to keep, so that they will always have plenty of oxygen to breathe in.
 Here is a good plan for such an aqua rum: Make it two feet long, sixteen inches wide and seven inches deep. Cover the bottom with sand and gravel. Then build a rockery, cementing 1t to- gether and in place. Then dredge up some water plants from your nearest pond or stream-small plants. milfoil.
