The two signs of the Zodiac which it is necessary to choose, and the method of placing them among the stars and dots, are here shown. TO COMPLETE THE BIRDS. [Illustration] Cut the paper into an exact square just containing the birds and fold it in the well-known manner of making a "paper bird," when the two birds will appear, one as shown, and the other on the reverse. TO MAKE A FLOWER OUT OF FOUR FREAKS. [Illustration] The method of making a flower out of the four grotesque heads which were represented in the diagram is one of the simplest of the series. All that is required is to cut out the four heads, remove the white part, and place them one upon the other. The space left empty then forms the flower, as will be easily understood by inspecting the two designs here given. Each figure is represented by a dotted line. THE SERPENT AND THE FILE. Roll the strip of paper in a spiral, and the pieces of the serpent will be joined, while the file will disappear. A BLOT OF INK. [Illustration] Four black discs will be obtained by making six folds the long way of the design and two across it, as shown in the two accompanying drawings. WHAT ANIMAL IS THIS? [Illustration] The animal is an elephant, as the reader can see for himself, and the method of forming him will also be readily apparent without further explanation. THE CASTLE IN THE FOREST. [Illustration] The outline shows the track which is to be followed by the traveller in order to penetrate the forest and reach the castle in the centre. A MOTOR-CAR PROBLEM. The following is the series of eighteen movements which are required to transfer motor-cars from one shed into the other:-- 1. Move car No. 5 into the refuge. 2. Move No. 2 into the place of No. 5. 3. Move No. 3 into the space between the refuge and the lower shed. 4. Move No. 5 into the place of No. 3. 5. Move No. 3 into the place of No. 2. 6. Move No. 2 into the refuge. 7. Move No. 6 into the space between the refuge and the upper shed. 8. Move No. 2 into the place of No. 6. 9. Move No. 6 into the refuge. 10. Move No. 3 into the lower shed in the place of No. 5. 11. Move No. 1 into the space between the refuge and the lower shed. 12. Move No. 6 into the upper shed in the place of No. 1. 13. Move No. 1 in the place of No. 2 in the upper shed. 14. Move No. 3 into the space between the refuge and the upper shed. 15. Move No. 4 into the refuge. 16. Move No. 3 into the place of No. 4 in the lower shed. 17. Move No. 1 into the lower shed. 18. Move No. 4 into the upper shed. THE RIFLE RANGE.
