TRAY AND PELLETS.
A GAME WHICH WILL TEST YOUR NERVES AND PATIENCE,
The accompanying picture almost explains itself. It is a round wooden tray, with a rim about half an inch in height, and four pairs of raised partitions arranged around the inner edge. In the tray are four pellets, or very small marbles, and the puzzle is to work one marble into each compartment.
It looks simple and easy, but try it and see what skilful handling is necessary to do it. You could amuse a roomful of people an entire evening with it. An ingenious boy can make the apparatus. A wooden tray may be had at a house-furnishing store, andi the partitions easily glued in place.
