How the Complete Outfit Can Be
Made by the Amateur.
The sounder Fig. 1 is made from
an old electric bell magnet D fast-
ened to a wooden base. The lever
A can be made of brass and the arm-
ature C is made of iron. The pivot
E is made from a wire nail and la
soldered to A. It should be filed to
a point at each end so as to move
freely in the bearings B which are
pieces of hard wood.
The spring H la fastened at each
end by pins bent as shown and
should not be too strong or the mag-
net will be unable to move the arma-
ture. Tbe stop K Is a wire nail
driven deep enough in the base to
leave about one-eighth-inch between
tbe armature and the magnet. The
binding posts F can be taken from
old dry batteries and are connected to
the two wires from the magnet by
wires run in grooves cut in the base.
The base of the key Fig. 2 is also
made of wood says Popular Mechan-
ics and has two wooden bearings E
which are made to receive a pivot
similar to the one used in the sound-
er. The lever of the key Is made of
brass and has a hardwood knob A
fastened near the end. A switch D
connects with the pivot at F and can

EXTENSION CALL BELL.
How the Ring of the Telephone Can
B Carried Some Distance.
In many shops where the telephone
Is In the office and the proprietor
spends a great part of the time in the
hop the telephone often ring re-
lieatedly without being answered as
thert is nobody within hearing dis-
tance. In many cases of this kind an
extension call bell such as is shown
In the sketch could be used to ad-
vantage. The telephone bell. A Is fitted with
a piece of hard rubber It having a
metal contact C which is placed so
that the hammer will strike it and
make contact. Part of the gong may
be cut away to do this or if neces-
sary the whole gong may be removed.
The other gong is connected to one
side of the battery and the other
side connects to an electric bell D
which can be placed in any desired
oration. If the bell does not work
sell short circuit the ' interrupter.
Thia will not prevent it from vibrat-
ng as the current is intermittent

Arrangement of the Wires.
terruptlons at C and D are not In uni-
son the result will not be good.
I have one of these bells in use at
the present time says a correspond-
ent of Popular Mechanics and find
it a great convenience.
AN ELECTRICITY THIEF.
Case Where a Householder Secured
Enough Current to Light His House.
"Electricity thieves crop up now
and then" said an electrician to the
reporter of the Philadelphia Bulletin.
"Our last case was a man who had
lighted his whole house with stolen
electricity for six months.
"Xext door to this man was a big
factory thrt used 1000 light a night.
The man bored a hole through a parti-
tion. Inserted a wire tapped the fac-
tory's current and helped himself
bountifully to illumination.
"We lost nothing. The factory paid
of course for the electricity stolen
from It. The theft wasn't discovered
till some time after the thief ha?
moved away."

dlackfriars Ciidg Intended to Com-
memorate His Achievements.
How many of the guests at the Pitt
centenary dinner could have correctly
answered the question: Where is
Pitt's bridge and why was it so
named? asks the London Chronicle.
Blackfriars bridge was intended to
commemorate tho achievements of the
elder Pitt whose famous son the
theme of the night's oratory was
born in the year of the bridge's incep-
tion. On a tin plate on the foundation
stone of the bridge the niidetghteenth
century constructors carved their emo-
tions in lofty lungua"- "That there
may remain to posterity a monument
of this city's affection to the man
who by the strength of his genius
the steadiness of his mind and a kind
and happy contagion of bis probity
and spirit (under the divine favor and
iortunate auspices of George II.) re-
covered augmented and secured the
British empire in Asia Africa and
America and restored the ancient rep-
utation and Influence of his country
among the nations of Enrope the cit-
izens of London have unanimously
voted this bridge to be inscribed with
the name of William Pitt."
HIS DEBUT IN SOCIETY.
Important Announcement Put Forth
by Editor.
An Arkansas City editor makes this
announcement:
"In order to break into society
without being compelled to lay my-
self liable for using a jimmy I beg
to announce that I have lately re-
ceived permission from the College of
Heralds to use my ancestral coat of
arms. The device Is very beautiful
consisting of a jackrabblt rampant
spitting in the face of bulldog
couchant on ' a shield quartering
green yellow red and pure white.
The green la emblematical of tbe
color ef my forefathers the yellow
of that streak we all have in com-
mon at times and upon occasions;
the red what I sometimes get In my
eye and what I used to pay 15 cents
a drink for and the white Is emble-
matic of my bankbook at present and
my Intentions all the time the whole
surmounted by a crown of lambs-quarter
greens and three green onions
ahashed. Tbe motto is 'In hoc
fricassee' meaning 'my great grand-
father was one of the 3000 or 4000
ragged Continentals who crossed the
Delaware in the same boat . with
Washington.' I might also add that
my wife Is distantly related to Lord
Nelson whose father was one of the
best section bosses on the road from
Cork to Dublin. Look wut for my
coming out function." New York
Tribune.
Where Color Come From.
The cochineal bug furnishes many
of the most brilliant colors including
the bright carmine crimson purple
lake and scarlet. The cuttlefish gives
the sepia and Indian yellow comes
from the camel.
Ivory chips produce Ivory black and
bone black and the exquisite Persian
blue was discovered accidentally by
fusing horses' hoofs and other refute
animal matter with impure potassium
carbonate. Crimson lake comes from
the roots and barks of certain trees;
blue-black from the charcoal of the
vine chalk; and Turkey red comes
from the root of the madder plant
found In Hindustan. India ink Is made
from burned camphor by the Chinese.

S--rp But Not Clever.
A Londua scientist says that life in
a metropolis makes young children
sharp but not clever; that It often
destroys their chance of ever being
clever for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; it makes
them superficial alert but not observ-
ant; excitable but without one spark
of enthusiasm; they are apt to grow
blase fickle discontented; they gee
more things than the country-bred
child but not such Interesting things;
they do not properly see anything for
they have neither the time nor capac-
ity to get at the root of all the bewil-
dering objects that crowd themselves
into their little lives.
Fright Cause Drowning.
If a spectator would shout encour-
agement to a drowning or frightened
bather It would have a good effect for
it will sometimes give him a little
backbone and that's all he needs.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred all
the trouble Is caused by fright. Tbe
swimmer is not even exhausted and
with an encouraging word he will
start to swim again if In his fright he
has not swallowed too much water.
Even if a poor swimmer would only
go near to a man in trouble and talk
to him without trying to take hold
this would often tide him over his
panic.
World' Favorite Fruit.
It Is estimated by those who know
that the apple is the favorite fruit of
the world but whether favorite or not
it la eaten more more than Is any
other fruit. When William the Con-
queror went from Normandy to Eng-
land among the many good things be
did was to have large orchards plant-
ed wherever he and his followers set-
tied and these orchards consisted
principally of apples the fine quality
that grew so abundantly in France.

Places Where Bird and
Animal
Reservations Set Aside by the Government for the Pro-
tection of Bird and Came.
Eg- U
Few persons know what the govern-
ment is doing for the preservation of
birds and game throughout the coun-
try and for this reason fail to appre-
ciate the service which Is being ren-
dered. Previous to 1900 the general
government had set aside only three
reservations for the protection of ani-
mals and birds the Yellowstone park
in Wyoming in 1872 the National
Zoological park In the District of Co-
lumbia in 1890 and Afognak island
on the southern coat of Alaska in

1892. The first two ' were national
parks established by acts of congress
and Afognak island. Intended as a pre-
serve for the sea otter was set aside
by executive proclamation amj placed
under the jurisdiction of the bureau of
fisheries. Other government reserva-
tions such aa the General Grant Se-
quoia and Yosemite national parks in

park in Wyoming the naval stations

stitute Important breeding grounds
where various native species are pro-
ttrted; but they were not set apart
especially a preserves for birds and
game and consequently they are mere-
ly mentioned In thlit connection.
Since 1900 elgh: additional pre-
serves have been established two In
Florida two in Michigan and one
each In Louisiana North Dakota
Oklahoma and Alaska. All except
those In Oklahoma and Alaska com-
prise small Islands oT little or no agri-
cultural value but occupied as breed-
ing grounds by large coionles of birds
and hence of far greater value than
might appear from their acreage.
The best known of these reserva-
tions Is Pelican island in Indian river
Florida not far from Sebastian. It Is
little more than a mud flat with only
a few black mangroves one or two
cabbage palms and large patches of
grass to conceal Its expanse of some-
thing less than four acres. For many-
years it has been the home of a large
colony of brown pelicans thr only
breeding grounds of the species thus
far known on the east coast of Florida.
Prior to 1901 when the state passed a
comprehensive law protecting non-
game birds their nests and eggs and
the Audubon societies placed a ward-
en in charge of the island ihe colony
was in danger of exte -n.lnat ion. Plume
hunters could easily destroy the birds
for their quills which were then in
fashion as trimmings for ladies' hats
and egg collectors could carry a'ay
large numbers of eggs. One collector
who visited the island in April 1894.
records the fact that In alout an hour
he gathered some 125 sets which
must have represented a very consid-
erable proportion of the eggs then in
in the nests. Even tourists often did
considerable harm by shooting at the
pelicans merely because they fur-
nished an easy mark or drjve them
from their nests thus exposing the
'oung to the scorching often fatal
rays of the sun. All this Is now
changed. For the last four years the
bird have enjoyed the protection of

tbe state law. In 1903 the island was
l i due a government reservation by ex-
ecutive order and placed in charge of
tbe department of agriculture and tho
warden was duly commissioned aa an
officer of the department. For Beverat
seasons the birds have bred free froju
molestation and the colony is now irt
flourishing condition. The island bait
ben visited by naturalists who have
made careful studies of the birdx;
data never before available are being
collected regarding their food moult-
ing and nesting habits and the reser-
vation Is fast becoming a point cf in-
terest for visitors and students of
nature who are attracted by the ex-
ceptional opportunities afforded for
observing the birds and studying their
habits.
The second reservation in Florida
Passage Key was not established un-
til October 1905 but already bids fair
to become an Important refuge for
both land and sea birds. Within threw
months alter it establishment more
than 50 speciea of birds were found
on the Island and among these were
noted 200 common terns 200 Cabot
terns 500 royal terns 150 laughing
gull 600 herring gulls 800 brown
pelicans and about 5000 rod-breasted
mergensers.
Even more important as a breliiiK
ground for terns are the keys Incited
In the Breton Island reservation off
the mouth' of the Mississippi which
were set aside as a Federal reserve
on October 4 1904. A photograph
taken on July 2 1905 shows thou-
sands of terns which were then breed-
ing on Southwest Harbor Key one of
the Old Harbor Islands (see PI. LXX
fig. 2)'. These included Cabot common
and royal terns. During the winter
months this reservation becomes the
refuge for thousands of ducks of vari-
ous sicles especially mallards.
Of the northern preserves suffice it
to say that the Huron and Siskiwit
reservations in l.ake Superior Mich-
igan form the . largest breeding
grounds of the herring guil thus far
discovered in the Interior; and that
Stump Iake reservation In North Da-
kota although small in extent is in
the midst of the extensive breeding;
grounds for ducks in that state ami
during the autumn forms a haven o'
refuge for migratory waterfowl on
their way south.
