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.
