A Child’s Bell-Ringing Hoop
In making this useful toy, first, a wheel from an old baby carriage was stripped of the tire; then two laths are fastened together at one end, and the wheel inserted between them, at the other end, and held by a bolt. A strong cord was passed around the groove in the wheel, and around a spool, nailed so as to turn on the side of the lath when the wheel is rotated. Driven into the rim of the spool are three nails, which strike against the old alarm-clock bell, fastened as indicated.—W. F. MacGregor, Toronto, Can.
