Things a Boy Should Know About Electricity: Second Edition
St. John, Thomas M. (Thomas Matthew)
Electricity
"Fun With Puzzles" will puzzle your friends, as well as yourself; it
contains some real brain-splitters. Over 300 new and original puzzles
are given, besides many that are hundreds of years old.
=Secret Writing.= Among the many things that "F. W. P." contains, is
the key to _secret writing_. It shows you a very simple way to write
letters to your friends, and it is simply impossible for others to read
what you have written, unless they know the secret. This, alone is a
valuable thing for any boy or girl who wants to have some fun.
