"tinkering" with electrical apparatus. Simple
explanations of the principles involved make the
operation readily understandable."

_Boston Transcript._

"Any boy who studies this book, and applies himself to
the making and operating of the simple apparatus
therein depicted, will be usefully and happily
employed. He will, furthermore, be developing into a
useful citizen. For this reason we recommend it as an
excellent gift for all boys with energy, application,
and ambition."

_Electrical Record, N. Y. City._

"A book to delight the hearts of ten thousand--perhaps
fifty thousand--American boys who are interested in
wireless telegraphy and that sort of thing. Any boy who
has even a slight interest in things electrical, will
kindle with enthusiasm at sight of this book."

HANDICRAFT FOR HANDY BOYS

Practical Plans for Work and Play with Many Ideas for Earning Money

By A. NEELY HALL

Author of "The Boy Craftsman"

With Nearly 600 Illustrations and Working-drawings by
the Author and Norman P. Hall 8vo. Cloth

Net, $2.00 Postpaid, $2.25

[Illustration]

This book is intended for boys who want the latest ideas for making
things, practical plans for earning money, up-to-date suggestions for
games and sports, and novelties for home and school entertainments.

The author has planned the suggestions on an economical basis, providing
for the use of the things at hand, and many of the things which can be
bought cheaply. Mr. Hall's books have won the confidence of parents, who
realize that in giving them to their boys they are providing wholesome
occupations which will encourage self-reliance and resourcefulness, and
discourage tendencies to be extravagant.

Outdoor and indoor pastimes have been given equal attention, and much of
the work is closely allied to the studies of the modern grammar and high
schools, as will be seen by a glance at the following list of subjects,
which are only a few among those discussed in the 500 pages of text:

MANUAL TRAINING; EASILY-MADE FURNITURE; FITTING UP A BOY'S ROOM;
HOME-MADE GYMNASIUM APPARATUS; A BOY'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH OUTFIT;
COASTERS AND BOB-SLEDS; MODEL AEROPLANES; PUSHMOBILES AND OTHER
HOME-MADE WAGONS; A CASTLE C
