he has offered to build without
cost to the District.
Lane 'Under Study"
He showed the group a
bullying file which he said con-
tanned some Of the two-year-
long correspondence on the
transit lane suggestion. The
idea, he said, is still under
study" by a District department.
Mr.. Chalk also indicated
that he personally will not
attempt to avoid D. c. Tran

has made certain commitments
leading to the conversion, which
was one Of the terms of his

First Coin Jukebox
Appeared in 1889

SAN FRANCISCO. - The
Palais Royal Saloon in San
Francisco introduced a novelty
in 1889, the first known juke-
box with a coin-slot attach
ment. 1t had one music
cylinder and four individual
listening tubes, through which
four patrons could listen at
once.
Not until 1906 had jukeboxes
been so improved that a patron
could select a tune-by turning
a knob that changed record
and needle and also wound the
motor.

Mr.. Alamo was surprised to
find that all the research into
the effect Of cigarette smoke
on the lungs Of q mouse was
pretty much q hit and miss
affair. Scientists could lead q
mouse to a cigarette, but they
couldn't make him smoke.
SO he got busy in his base
ment workshop. Out Of a BIZ
cycle sprocket. a coffee can, a
plastic cereal bowl. the handle
from a coffee pot and other
household discards. Mr.. Alamo
fashioned a gadget that makes
a mouse smoke and inhale
whether he wants to or not.
Interests Students
The American Cancer Society
has shown considerable interest
in the gadget as a research tool.
Equally important to Mr.. Alai-
mo, it's a device to introduce
students to science and keep
their interest high.
He showed 1t OF here recently
at the annual convention Of the
National Science Teachers AS
ISOLATION.
It works sort Of like this:
The mouse is placed in a
glass tube, with rubber collar
around his neck. The collar,
made out Of a child's balloon,
forms an alright compartment
for his head. One gadget, fixed
to the rotating bicycle sprocket,
pumps air in and out Of the
compartment. Once every 80
seconds, another device slams
shut a door in the tube. Stuck
through a hole in the door is a
lighted cigarette.
When the door slams shut,
still another part reduces the
air pressure behind the rubber
collar, forcing the mouse to
breathe in with the rodent YER
sion Of a gasp.
