KINKS OF ALL KINDS 



lever itself I punched a small 

 hole. When I want to "get in the 

 picture" a string tied through this 

 hole and run down through the 

 staple does the trick. 



For taking time exposures, in 

 addition to the first string I tie a 

 rubber band to the exposure 

 lever. At the end of this is an- 

 other bit of string which is led 

 over the top of the camera and 

 tied to the staple on the other side. 

 (This is the staple hidden in the 

 drawing. Thus I can pull the lever 

 down and hold the camera open 

 as long as desired with the first 

 string. As soon as the pull is re- 

 leased, however, the rubber band 

 draws the lever up again and 

 closes the camera. 



MY CIGAR BOX TACKLE 

 CARRIER 



BY RAMBLING BILL 

 Desiring a light but fairly roomy 

 tackle box to carry with me on my 

 rambles, I secured a couple of 

 good-sized cigar boxes and set to 

 work. 



I took the cover of one of 

 these boxes off from its cloth 

 hinges and reset it with a couple 

 of small metal hinges. The sec- 

 ond box was used merely to fur- 

 nish material for the partitions, 

 which were arranged about as 

 shown. 



On one side of the largest com- 

 partment I fastened a strip of 

 stout leather that would not 

 stretch, tacking it down in the 

 middle and at both ends. This 

 was to hold my plain hooks as 



shown in the diagram. Then I 

 took a strip of tin and cut a sharp 

 point at each end which I turned 

 down. Along either side of the 

 tin I made a number of short 

 diagonal cuts the edges of which 

 I afterward dulled with a tool. 



I turned down the two points at 

 either end and by sinking them 

 into the wood, fastened the strip 

 of tin to the under side of the 

 box cover. At the other end of 

 the cover I glued a number of 

 small bottle corks. This arrange- 

 ment holds my snelled flies and 

 hooks very nicely. I simply stick 

 the points of the hooks into the 

 corks and slip the snells into the 

 slits in the tin. 



On the outside of the cover I 

 fastened a "Unity Mixture" to- 

 bacco tin for a bait box (Velvet 

 and P. A. tins are too deep. One 

 cannot reach the bottom easily 

 with the fingers).
