Last fall roxy purchased some
boards-or did he get them from a
nearby building?- and began to lay
out a frame about six feet high, three
feet wide and a foot and a half wide.
He worked on this frame until he had
made three compartments. Then he
took some old pieces of glass, cut them
out with his own manufactured tools
and placed the glass in the frame.
In the winter months when the first
fireman ventured in to see and ask the
mysterious genius of his work he saw
big frame, glass sides, a peculiar fun
mel shaped tin inside and little hoies
bored here and there.
Then came that traction engine,
then the separator new one, alto
gether reconstructed from the original
make-and finally a motor. a myriad
of electric wires and few pieces OF

tiny separator.
In the case were peanuts. A little

Approaching the slot cautiously one OF
the firemen dropped his nickel in the hole.
There was pop then a rolling noise.
The little fly wheel on the traction engine
whirled, the feeder and the straw carrier

by the feeder, carried out of sight into the

of the cage. Directly in front slowly
oozed out a white folded sack. The last
peanut had buzzed through the separator.
