art are served and yet the situat tons
are toned down so that the most del

The play is staged gorgeously and is
well worth spending an evening in
interesting entertainment.

A THRILLER.
How to Give an Electric Shock While
Shaking Hands. .t-

To receive an electric shock while
shaking hands is quite mystery to
your friends. This may be accom-
plished with the aid of small induc-
ton coil that can be constructed at
home. The core, A, Fig. 1, is con-
structed in the usual manner with
small soft iron wire to make bundle
about three-sixteenths of an inch in
diameter and about two inches long.
The coil ends are made from card
board about one inch in diameter
with three sixteenths-inch hole in the
center. When cutting the hole, cut it
as shown in Fig. 2, so as to leave four
small pieces that can be bent out,
leaving the projections as shown.
After wrapping three or four turns of
paper around the bundle of wires the
cardboard ends are put on with the
projections inside, so the coils of wire
will hold them in place. About 70
turns of No. "a double-covered mag
net wire is first placed on the core
for the primary and then 1900 turns
Of No. 80 or "a double-covered wire is
wrapped on top of the primary for the
secondary. Sufficient length of wire
must be left outside from each end Of
both windings to make connections.
The vibrator, B, Fig. 1, and the sup
port, c, are made from thin spring
s1eel about one-eigth inch wide, bent
u shown and securely fastened to the
cardboard end of the coil. The arma-
ture is made from a soft piece of iron
about three-sixteenths-inch in diameter
and three-sixteenths-inch thick, which
Is soldered to the end Of the vibrator
directly opposite the end of the core.
A small screw is fitted in the end Of
the support, c, for adjustment, which
should be tipped with platinum placed
. where the screw will touch the vibra-
tor. B.
One of the primary wires is con-
nected to the screw support. The vi
orator is connected to flash lamp bat
terry, d. The other primary wire is
