GOOD MERRY. ROUND POLE
single Post SET Securely In Ground
Whore There 10 suf'clsnt Vacant
Space, 10 Needed.

An Inexpensive merry-go-round can
be made of 2 single pole set in the
ground where there is sufficient vacant
space for the turning Of the ropes. The.
pole may be OF gas pipe or wood. long
enough to extend about IL feet above
the ground. An iron wheel ~ attached
on the upper end no that It will revoive
easily on an axle, which may be an
iron pin driven into the post. A few
iron washers placed on the pin under
the wheel will reduce the friction.
Ropes Of varying lengths are tied to
the rim OF the wheel. The rider takes
hold Of . rope and runs around the
pole to start the wheel in motion. then
he swings clear Of the ground. writes

Briefly this means that Ulivi says
he can detonate the guncotton or the
powder contained in warship's mag.
axine by means of wireless, and the
French Government is seeing II 1t can
be done.
The infra-red rays of the solar
spectrum are those mysterious beams
beyond the edge Of the red, invisible
to the human eye but nevertheless
there. For convenience Ulivi calls
them "F-rays." They are akin to
x-rays in that they can penetrate
metal. but instead OF making objects
visible they develop force beyond the
barriers which can defect the most
powerful projectile. but are as glass
to the potent force OF the little known
rays beyond the red. Whatever un.
thinkable color they may be.
How they work or In what manner
Ulivi has controlled them nobody but
he knows. But that they have worked
