FAMILY FUN
A Funnel Pump. — Take a funnel and put it, large end downward, in a pan of water. By moving it up and down rapidly, the water will rise in the small end, and by practice may be made to spout a considerable distance. This experiment is better tried in the open air than in the house.
A Magic Ring. — This is a German idea. It is made as follows: — Cut a strip of paper two by fifteen inches. Draw a line on both sides along the exact middle. In order to distinguish between the two sides, indicate one line by dots, the otlier by dashes. Paste the ends of the paper together so that the centre line will be continuous, but join the dotted line to the line of the dashes. This will give a twist to the ring. With a pair of scissors carefully cut through the middle line all the way round the ring. How many rings there will then be you will see for yourself.
