THE autoist who possesses a movie

tigate, may see just how his motor
works.
The Bureau of Mines has issued a
two-reel movie depicting internal
combustion engines. The films are
available on application to the Pitts
burgh experimental station at Pitts
burgh. The films, of course, are
loaned.
The story opens with various epi-
sodes showing the uses of power pro-
duced by the internal-combustion en-
gine in lighting homes, pumping
water, plowing fields and in the oper-
alton Of automobiles, boats and air.

Animated drawings explain in detail
the name, location and operation of
each part of the motor, show how
firing takes place in cylinders, illus
trates changing of gears. how power
Is transmitted through gears to rear
wheels and the Ill effects to gears and
cylinder walls brought about by i'm

difficulty may be avoided. The latter
part of this picture describes the ac-
tion of the carburetor in atomizing

told you that the next
model I would give you would be a
flying boat. However, decided you
might like to make ship instead Of
a plane for change. SO this week we
have torpedo boat destroyer. The
flying boat will come little later.
The completed model of this de-
stroyer is exactly 10 inches long, 23s
inches wide and 5A inches high to
tip Of mast, so in whiting it from
soft pine wood, the tiny sizes Of the
different parts allow only the OUT
standing features of a torpedo boat
destroyer to be represented. No at
tempt is made to construct true scale
model of a destroyer. nor is the keel,
rudder and propeller assembly in
cluded.

with flat-bottom hulls-is called con-
structing water-line model. When
completed, these tiny boats are at
trachve pieces of model work. suit
able for shelf or mantel-top decora-
ton. They need no supporting bracket.
Model making is an entertaining
and instructive pastime, and gives a
boy or girl many hours Of simple, con-
structive fun. The plan of the de-
stroyer sketched has been designed
so the young model maker will have
no difficulty in producing a complete
model for his collection.
The hull is whitfield from a 1-inch
block of soft white pine, 25s inches
wide by 10 inches long. Point
the prov and round off the stern
with a sharp pocket knife, then
smooth the cuts with sandpaper.
The bridge and fore cabin structure
is then shaped from tiny blocks Of

of blocks are given in the sketch and
marked, D, E, F, G and H.
D represents the radio operators
cabin: E. the officers cabin: F, the
bridge structure with overhanging
water break: G and H, the bridge and
the control cabin. All of these tiny
blocks are glued together, on top Of
each other as sketched, then glued
to the hull. Sandpaper each block
before gluing.
A DESTROYER has four tunnels, or
smokestacks. In this model,
three of the stacks are 112 inches

a growing concern about the jamie

"There it is-fnished!" he exclaimed.
"And it's perfect job. Now to rush

fastened the essay to the contest

written his solution to the problem,

his thanks to Dora, he dashed from
the house and caught the street car
that would take him downtown.
It was icy cold and showing as he
boarded the car. He fidgeted impa-

the early Saturday evening traffic. He
got off at the corner nearest the hard
ware store just as the hands of the
clock reached quarter to seven.
He had the precious envelope in his
hand as he started across the street.
Then suddenly an automobile, round
ing the corner skidded on the slippery
pavement. Somebody yelled a warn
ing. He leaped wildly to get out of
the way, and the cars fender just
brushed his arm.
But the jar knocked the envelope
from his hand. He stood petrified as
1t fell to the street. directly under the
wheels of the skidding automobile.
The car passed on. Ralph groaned
as he picked up the wet, soggy en-
velope, and tore it open. The essay

SnoWbird Is We'll Known in

A IL Winter long we see small

and we look upon their arrival as a
sign that Winter is not far off.
The snowbird Ounce hyemalis) is
found throughout the length and
breadth Of North America. Whether
you live in Alaska or in Mexico, they
are still your companions for part
of the year, although in Alaska they
are present during a different part of
the year from that in the southern
half of the continent.
There are at least 13 different
species and varieties of snowbirds
living in the North American Con-
tinent; possibly an ornithologist espe-
cially familiar with the group would
be able to add a few more to the list,
but 13 is ample for ordinary pur-
poses. Among these Is the common

the snowbird but also as the slate

of the group whose scientific name is
given and about which we shall speak.

probably looked upon as his model.

with him on an expedition to the

At the falls Smith found an Indian
village governed by Taux Uittle)

thought that the site would be excel

the chief to sell 1t to him. For the

the village and a week later climbed
aboard the expeditions ship, probably
anchored in the James River.
Taux Powhatan complained to his
father and an Indian runner was
dispatched to Jamestown to demand
the boys return. The colonists were
forced to consent or face disagreeable
consequences. .l1.
Henry remained with Powhatan for
six months. At the Emperor's court
he met the vassal King of the Potomac,
who took a great fancy to him and,
in this instance, the boy returned the
liking. When the King started back

As the weather begins to get colder,

South they are frequently accom-

Around March or April these birds
start North again, heading for their
breeding grounds. In the Spring they
are more apt to prefer orchards and
fields to the neighborhood, of houses.
In Summer the snowbird sings lit

Mystery OF. -Four
COIOrs Is Novel
Divinati0n Trick
Performer Tells Which of
-Four Spots a Dime
Has Covered.
By Thomas the Maeiciau.


THERE have been many divination
tricks In magic since this most
interesting art came into its own, and
this weeks mystery belongs to that
list. I might, add however, that this
effect involves new principle, which
has been employed In several similar
tricks.
Effect: A small circular mirror is
used. The back is painted a sort of
dull white, and this in turn is cov-
cred with a thin sheet of glass; on
the surface of this glass appear four
spots of different colors. The di-
ameter of each spot shouldn't be
over u of an inch.
This device is laid on table, and
some member of the audience is in
structed to cover any one of the spots
with an ordinary dime. The per-
former turns his back or leaves the
doom while this part Of the trick
takes place.
After the dime has remained on the
mirror-back for about minute, it is
removed, and the performer Is called
into the room. He picks up the mirror
and turns aside for moment. Next
he turns around facing the audience
again, and by merely looking into the
rejecting side Of the mirror, he
names which color was covered.
Explanation: The method is very
ingenious. The back of the mirror is
coated with luminous paint. The
spots, in the four colors, are then
painted on the thin sheet Of glass
that covers the mirror back. The
luminous paint absorbs light, and
when coin Is placed over one of the
spots and allowed to remain there
about a minute, it leaves a shadow.
When the magician takes the mir
ror and turns his back, he merely
slips it under his coat, away from the
light, and detects the larger shadow,
for the rest of the surface will glow
with a sort of greenish-purple light
Zach little dot will leave a small
shadow on the surface, but the one
upon which the coin is placed will
be little larger than the rest. since
the coin will cast larger shadow
than the 4 inch colored dots
Thus by this exceedingly ingenious
method the magician knows exactly
which color was chosen.

fHere's something newt How MANY Of
you Fellows and girls ever had a bat for
ing story by Edwin @ M Sanders. n .nis ir interest,"
HE most peculiar pet We ever had
was bat. We named him Sc
bastian, I don't know just why We
called him that, but mother and
father said it was a good name.
He-Sebastian. not father-came
down the chimney one night and flew
out of the fireplace into the room. We
caught him and he snapped his funny
teeth at us and squeaked like a rusty
hinge. He was awful mad at being
handled. We put him in big glass
bowl We had used for goldfish, and
over it we placed some mosquito net
ting.
Every day he stayed hanging from
that netting upside down. If you or
I tried that, the blood would rush to
our heads and we couldn't do it. But
bat can. I don't know why that is.
He seemed contented to live in his
bowl for while. We fed him on
dead flies. We'd put them on the
end Of a toothpick and he'd gobble
them up as If they were candy.
After a while we let him out one
night. He few and few around the
room and next morning we found him
hanging, still upside down, to the
folds of one Of the window curtains.
Just as soon as twilight came he would
rustic free of the cloth and futter
merrily round and round.
Each night he grew tanner and
tanner. Finally he mustered up enough
courage to alight on our hands or
arms. All you'd have to do would be
to hold your arm out and in a minute
Sebastian would scoot over, flip
around and hang there, his feet above
his head. That Is if bats have feet
he would.
My little brother and I would have
a good supply of flies ready for him
and We would hold one out to him.
His sharp eyes would discover 1t at
once and he would dart down and
take the fly and eat it with great ap-
petite, squeaking his thanks. He
would fly to any Of us and alight and
seem not a bit frightened.
One night the door was left open
into another room and Sebastian dis
appeared. There was small break
at the edge of the screen on the out
side door and we think he must have
grown tired of free flies and squirmed
out that way. We hope sometime we
will have another little "flutter mouse"
for pet.
