JUST PUBLISHED.
How Two Boys Made Their Own Electrical Apparatus.
Containing complete directions for making all kinds of simple
electrical apparatus for the study of elementary electricity.
By PROFESSOR THOMAS M. ST. JOHN, New York City.
The book measures 5 × 7-1/2 in., and is beautifully bound in
cloth. It contains 141 pages and 125 illustrations. Complete
directions are given for making 152 different pieces of
Apparatus for the practical use of students, teachers, and
others who wish to experiment.
PRICE, POST-PAID, $1.00.
The shocking coils, telegraph instruments, batteries, electromagnets,
motors, etc., etc., are so simple in construction that any boy of
average ability can make them; in fact, the illustrations have been
made directly from apparatus constructed by young boys.
The author has been working along this line for several years, and he
has been able, _with the help of boys_, to devise a complete line of
simple electrical apparatus.
_THE APPARATUS IS SIMPLE because the designs and methods of
construction have been worked out practically in the school-room,
absolutely no machine-work being required._
_THE APPARATUS IS PRACTICAL because it has been designed for real use
in the experimental study of elementary electricity._
_THE APPARATUS IS CHEAP because most of the parts can be made of old
tin cans and cracker boxes, bolts, screws, wires and wood._

BOOK AND COMPLETE OUTFIT FOR SIXTY-ONE EXPERIMENTS IN MAGNETISM....
[Illustration]
Children like to do experiments; and in this way, better than in any
other, _a practical knowledge of the elements of magnetism_ may be
obtained.
These experiments, although arranged to amuse boys and girls, have been
found to be very _useful in the class-room_ to supplement the ordinary
exercises given in text-books of science.
To secure the best _possible quality of apparatus_, the horseshoe
magnets were made at Sheffield, England, especially for these sets.
They are new and strong. Other parts of the apparatus have also been
selected and made with great care, to adapt them particularly to these
experiments.--_From the author's preface._
=CONTENTS.=--Experiments With Horseshoe Magnet.--Experiments With
Magnetized Needles.--Experiments With Needles, Corks, Wires, Nails,
etc.--Experiments With Bar Magnets.--Experiments With Floating
Magnets.--Miscellaneous Experiments.--Miscellaneous Illustrations
showing what very small children can do with the Apparatus.--Diagrams
showing how Magnetized Needles may be used by little children to make
hundreds of pretty designs upon paper.
