Tossing a Card at a Mark Accurately
Tossing Cards Accurately so That They will Fall into a Receptacle Set at a Distance
There is an interesting old game that can be played instead of solitaire. It consists in trying to toss the greatest number of cards into a small basket or an upturned stiff hat, set at a distance. If the cards are held as shown at A, and tossed as at B, they may be thrown with surprising accuracy.—Contributed by James M. Kane, Doylestown, Pa.
A Sanitary Drinking Tube
To make this tube, procure a piece of ³⁄₄-in. gauge glass, about 10 in. long, and bend it by heating the glass with a blowtorch 2¹⁄₂ in. from one end, as shown. If this is done in a place where no air will strike the glass while it is heated and the tube is then allowed to cool slowly, it will not crack. It is used by putting the short end under the faucet and drawing on it as on a pipe.
