A SIMPLE BIRD-SCARER.
Cut the bottom off a wide bottle by heated wire, continuing a crack
begun with a file or diamond, or otherwise. Fasten a cork in the neck
firmly, and through it pass a wire, the lower end to reach about
half-way within the bottle, where it ends in a loop, to which a button
is secured. The upper end of the wire is fastened to a strong but
supple branch of a tree. There is thus made a glass bell, which will
tinkle at every breath of air.
