he shoots up looks strange to them.
The second time they face him they

They may tell you that this is be-

Every fall the losing minor league

They succeed merely because their

Apply it to this case. The Athletics

MAKING AN AEOLIAN HARP.
Directions For the Boy Who Wants to
Construct One.

An aeolian harp can be made by al
most any ingenious boy. 1t consists
of a long, narrow box Of very thin
wood, about five or six inches deep.
with a circle in the middle Of the up
per side an inch and a half in diane
ter. in which are to be drilled small
holes. In this side seven, ten or more
strings Of very fine gut are stretched
over bridges at each end like the
bridges Of a fiddle and screwed up or
relaxed with screw pins.
The strings should all be tuned to
the same note and the instrument be
placed in some current Of air where
the wind can pass over its strings with
freedom. 4 window the width of
which is equal to the length Of the
harp. with the sash just raised to give
the air admission. is a proper situation.
When the air blows upon the strings
Of the harp with different degrees Of
force it will excite different degrees
Of sound. Sometimes the blast brings
out all the tones in full concert, and
sometimes it sinks to the softest muir
murS.

Breaking Through the Lines
By ELISA r. BADGER

confess l was much puzzled by them.
l called in several OF my officers and
asked if they could make anything
out OF them. Lieutenant Budd sug-
gested that they might be parts of let
ters.. This view was soon voted cor
rect by the rest of lis. Ect Of what
letters they We're parts we did not
know and made no Roadway in discOv-
ering.
Budd said that If 1 would let him
take the paper to his tent he would
try to study the matter out. l gave
him permission. and in an hour he re-
turned with the puzzle solved. The
paper had been wrapped about a round
stick. probably a ruler for line max
ing. and a message had been written
where the upper edge had %overlapped.
half of each letter being on the edge
and half on the paper v which the
edge Tapped. When adjusted on a
stick like the one on which the mes
sage had been written it was perfect
ly plain. When the paper was I'M
rolled the upper parts Of the letters
were separated from the lower parts.
The message was addressed to Major
l.. and read thus:
Attack the force south Of you at dawn
on Tuesday next. When / hear your guns
] will take the enemy in rear.
was delighted with the Information
l had received, and it occurred to me
that l might turn it to account. l re-
solved to send Major l.. orders Of my
own choosing in Colonel BIS name.
Rolling the message on the stick, l
wrote the following:
March on receipt OF this southeastward
! through the pass directly in your rear and
join me at r., whence our pro-
coed to Richmond.
l signed the cOlOncl'S name to the
message md sent for the negro. ! ask
Ell him Il number of questions as to
where and why he was going north
and why he didn't come to me for 4
pass instead of trying to steal through
my lines. He told a pitiful story about
q sick wife and starving children, and.
pretending to be moved by it. I hand
| ed him back his knife. his tobacco and
| his receipt and told Budl to see him
| through the lines.
When the next morning my noun
tain pickets reported that the enemy
to the north Of us had moved through
the pass as l had directed, l was de-
lighted with the success of the scheme.
l directed that Il feint be made by a
small part of my command on the
C~onfederates south Of us, and while
it was going on marched the main
force out Of the trap, to be followed
by the others. SO by turning the en-
emy's trick on himself / saved my force

the least.
8. There are no metal springs in the
Appliance to torture ono by cutting and
bruising the flesh.
