to have a small heart tattooed on the

Loud Speaker May
Be Cheaply Made
Thin Pieces of Cigar Box
or Cardboard Suitable
for Construction.

That wireless sets are something
more than a pleasure Is demonstrated
by the fact that the majority Of "fans"
refrain from purchasing parts that
they might make themselves, In this
way saving an attractive sum. A
radio set, whether 1t be for receiving
or transmitting, is an expense. for
each month "B" bats, bulbs or other
necessities must be purchased and
the young fellow, as well as his older
brothers. often finds that his weekly
allowance is quickly eaten up by the
purchase Of such necessities. For this
reason, hints on how to make useful
parts for our outfits. at a hardly no.
ticeable expense, are bound to be ap-
preciated.
A loud speaker is cherished by all
interested In this fascinating science.
but since the majority of them are
rather costly, many individuals either
have homemade ones or none at all.
Here is a loud speaker that can be
made by any size boy and one that
will give very excellent results. About
20 cents Is the total cost.
From the accompanying drawing,
the reader will be able to see just
how the horn Is constructed. All
sides are made of either cardboard
or very thin wood. Cigar boxes will
come in handy for this, but in case
such are not available, cardboard
should be used. 1t is both cheap and
will give good service. In cutting out
the two side pieces, care should be
exercised in getting a gradual flare,
particularly toward the phone recep-
tacle. Before cutting, It will be well
to notice the dimensions at various
points. If such are followed, a neat
shape is sure to result. 1t is recon-
mended that they be "laid out" on
paper first. The sides can then be
actually cut from the pattern obtained.
1t will be seen that pieces Of wood,
one-half inch wide by one-eighth inch
thick, are employed to hold the tops
and sides together. There are four

Concerning Inks.

Inks are said to play an important
part in the detection of forgery, espe-
cially when question arises as to- the
particular time a document was
penned pr signed.
It is claimed that blue-black inks
may be recognized as fresh up to the
sixth day. and that, in after years,
their age may be determined when
the blue provisional pigment has
faded and left only the black.
The blue eoIoring, 1t seems, as time
elapses Is scarcely acted upon by re.
agents, but for a year or two it will
at once diffuse If treated with a 50
per cent solution Of acetic acid,
whereas when 1t !. five or six years
old diffusion, II 1t occurs at all, is ex-
tremely slow and limited in extent.
1t is ayerred that a still more USE
full re-agent Is Il saturated solution Of
oxalic acid that causes the pigment Of
relatively fresh writing to give an i'm
mediate smudge. but has very little, If
any, effect upon writing six or eight
years old.
