ooooooooo
wanted to see the guinea and

ppppppppp
he took a guinea and a feather

set them on a brass flap and

put the flap under the receiver

It is a sort of harp that acts
by air instead of the hands
for the air sweep
the strings of the harp makes
them vibrate and produces the

After that Harry took a

hole in the small end of it
cccccccccccc
putting it under the reciever

and the pressure of the bub

dddddddddddd
end of new laid eggs
forced all the contents
of the egg out into the

Harry now determined to have
another grand scheme so he took
a handfull of earth moistened–
–it with water and stuck it
onto the green. He then took
another handfull
the same manner till he had
formed a large ball of the
shape of an orange he then
divided it into divisions and
wrote upon some of the
africa on others america ice

his mamma and papa saw
this whenever they were at

This scheme being finished
harry went on with science
vvvvvvvvvv
Harry said he would show
Lucy a very entertaining exper
iment so he took a strong cop
per vessel filled it half full of
water and took a syringe and
screwed and soit to a pipe with this
he forced a considerable quan
tity of air into the vessel so
that the
densed he then turned a

stop‐cock while he took off
xxxxxxxxxx
the syringe and no water
yyyyyyyyyy
could escape but putting
a jet instead of a syringe
and turning the stop‐cock
zzzzzzzzzz
the air in the vessel forced
aaaaaaaaaaa
the water through the jet
to a great height. 50

fffffffffff
the air and the elastic

tied a strip of flannel round

the middle of it but leaving
both the ends untied he tied
ttttttttttt

uuuuuuuuuuu
and then bid Lucy put
vvvvvvvvvvv

her ears and strike the

Then
glass can filled with wa

he then tied little weights
to them so that they

dug a deep hole in it which

full of different coloured sea
shells and what made it
mmmmmmmmmmmm
the more wonder
the further he dug the more
shells he found. He thothought
this would be a fine mine
to Lucy if she wocould get
nnnnnnnnnnnn
at the shells without
oooooooooooo
dirtying her frock but he
pppppppppppp
was afraid she would not he
led her to the place but he
found she could not so that
he was obliged to pick up
as many as he could reach
