MAKE A PICTURESCOPE.
Summer is coming boys, and you will be taking some jolly holiday snap-shots, you will find a picturescopo very useful to you. Get some stiff drawing paper, and cut a piece 12in. long by about Sin. across. Now paint one side of the paper jet black, and when it is dry, form into a tube, measuring about liin. across. Having made sure that you have the black side of the paper inside, you now stick dowu the edge of tho paper with gum, and your picturescopo in ready. Take \our snap-shots into a good light, place tho picturescopo io your eye, and clos© the other one, as when looking through, a telescope. Now hold a picture out in . front, of tho tube, and move it about until you find the oest position, when th<* picture will show up almost as though it were real. In fact, quite ordinary look-, ing pictures appear almost lifelike, when you view them through your " picturescope."' —l' rorn Stanley Manson, 3!. Olive Kcaci. Penrose, (ti marks'.
