AN EAslLY,MADE ELECTRIC BELL
+ .SY2; OUTFIT. HIS

The homemade electric bell shown
In the Illustrations Is very simple in
construction, and is made Of only such
materials as are easily obtained.
The working principle OF an electric
bell is this: When the spush-button is
pressed, the current from the bell bat.
terry passes along the bell wire and
through coils Of wire mounted upon
the bell base. These coils Of wire are
wound around cores OF soft iron, and
when the current passes around and
around through the many turns OF
wire the, cores become magnetized
and together form q horseshoe mag.
net" a This magnet draws the bell
hammer arm, or "armature," towards
1t. Then, the instant that the arma-
3ture is pulled away from the little adj
justment screw that presses against
1t, the electrical connection is broken,
the horseshoe magnet loses its mag
netic influence, and the armature
springs back to its former position
against the adjustment screw. This
CLOSES the circuit; then the current
flows through the magnet coils again,
and the armature is drawn away from
the screw as before.
81 The horseshoe, magnet Is the first
portion of the bell to make. Get two
A-inch or 5-16-inch carriage bolts 2 Y
inches long for the iron cores, and "
pound of ordinary insulated electrical
bell wire. Also buy four h-tnch bolt
washers for the ends Of the magnets.
Slip two washers upon each bolt, and
screw the nut onto the end, tempo
rarily. Before starting to- wind the
wire upon the bolts, slip four or five
inches OF the end through the hole rof
the washer on the nut end of5the bolt;
then carefully wind the wire around
the bolt between that washer and the
one at the bolthead end. Wind back

GRAND 4 FORM OF Ed UcATIoN
Museums Of the Country Have Done
Much for the Real Advancement
OF the Student. y

s One of the hundred representatives
Of as many American museums IN
this country holding a three days
conference expressed the opinion that
objects OF are and otherwise on exhi-
bition should not be labeled. Fortu-,
nately, he was combated by another
delegate, and the opinion Of the mem
bers generally seemed to be with the
latter. There is no doubt of the
growing value Of museums Of all sorts
as educational factors, but their Inn
portance and usefulness would be
hampered If there were no labels. In
fact, the general comment of the pub
lie Is that there are not labels enough.
Few visitors are profound students.

SHARPENING a Pencil.

An expert manual training man
talked with the writer about so sim
pie thing as sharpening a lead
pencil. '-..E
\ In the first place. he says, the
knife should not be over sharp, but
should be little dull. as If too sharp
1t will cut quickly through the wood
and cut away the lead. yuTGJ E,
Then again, he says, it is best to
hold the pencil in the left hand with
the end to be sharpened pointing
away from you and to cut away with
a pushing cut, rather than toward
you with drawing cut, as then the
point of the pencil is rested against
the side Of the thumb, and is sharp
ened by draw cut stroke of the
knife blade.-Scientihc American.

to the starting point, then TO the bolt
head end again, and SO on back and
forth until the height Of the washers
has been reached. Wind an even
number OF layers on the bolts, so the
upper end Of the wire can be brought
out through the washer at the nut
end. Fig. shows the core with the
coil completed. II you now connect
both ends OF the coil wire to q battery,
as test, you will find that the bolt
has become an electro magnet" The
two Selectro-magnets connected at one
end with a metal yoke" form the
horseshoe magnet. One end OF q
horseshoe magnet attracts and the
other, repels, and in order to make one
a positive and the other q mega
tive pole the. winding Of the coils
must be done in opposite dire ctions-
that is. the winding on one must be
done clockwise, and that on the other
counter-clockwise. Il a.
s.sy Make the yoke out OF "a strip OF tin
L inch wide and inches long, and
with "a nail punch holes through it 2
inches on centers, large enough for
the magnet bolts to stick through
Gig. ~. Connect the lower ends OF
the wire Of the two coils together,
then screw down the nuts tight
against the Jokes. Figs. s and s
show how the horseshoe magnet is
fastened to the bell base by a wooden
cleat. x
Details OF the armature are shown
in Figs. and 9. It Is made OF tin
cut from a tomato can, and the ham
mer from a broken alarm clock. Cut
the piece of tin S inches long and ! Il
inches wide, over all, with a l.inch
tab on the hammer end and a A-inch
tab on the opposite end, as shown.
Fold the sides Of the piece over onto
the middle portion Gig. 81, and then
fold the sides Of the hammer end
over the hammer wire and pound it
down until it holds the wire securely.
Punch hole through the opposite end
of the armature large enough for a
small screw, and screw it at this point
to small block of wood "a, Fig. -.
Then fasten block A to the base block
in the position shown in Fig. 2, with
the armature exactly parallel to the
magnet heads and about. 3-16 inch
away from them. u n,
Fig. 9 shows the details of the ad-
justment screw and a binding post.
Cut B out of hard wood; tack the
strip Of tin, D, to its top and face,
and nail B to the base block near the
pivoted end of the armature, as shown
in Fig. 2. Tack he-piece OF tin. G, to
the base block under the end OF D. and
punch hole through both c and D
for the screw-eye binding post to run
through. Fold small piece of tin in
half, as shown in Fig. 10, for the sec
ond binding post, tack the lower por-
ton to the base block, and pierce a
hole for screw-eye. This binding post
may be fastened almost any place on
