HOW TO MAKE A FRAME PUNCH. 
Mr. H. R. Stephens, Toowoomba, once more supplies illustrations and 
descriptions of the ingenious labour-saving appliances he invents or adapts. 
This time we haye the frame punch shown in the diagram. 
. Mr. Stephens says: It issuch an improvement on the usual bradawl and 
Archimedean drill that it pays for itself in a very short time. 
The material required is two pieces of 1 inch by }-inch iron for the lever, 
and about 18 inches long. One piece 6 inches by 14 inches by }-inch for bracket 
for fulerum. An old flat saw-file, and 3 inches by 1 inch by -inch bolts. 
The tang of the file is drawn out so as to form a punch, and sharpened 
similar to a bradawl, and then softened for about 14 inches of the flat part, 
through which a }-inch hole is drilled to correspond with one made in the 
lever pieces, between which it is slipped and bolted loosely. The bracket is 
then attached, and for convenience screwed to the body of a beehive, which 
makes a handy bench to operate on. 
THE JUMBO WINDMILL. 
Mr. Stephens also sends a sketch and description of a home-made wind- 
mill, remarking that as, during the present unfavourable period of drought, 
appliances for raising water from below, in order to partly supply the lack of 
that from above, are receiving attention, he submits to public notice a Jumbo 
windmill which he and Mr. R. A: Stephens have recently fitted up over an 
80-foot well, and which has been made out of bush timber, with the exception 
of the sail wheel, for which twelve pieces, 18 feet by 3 inches by 1% inches: 
hardwood, were procured for the arms of the wheel, as it was considered better 
to have the wheel revolve as evenly as possible, although, doubtless, straight 
saplings would do fairly well. These twelve pieces, 3 inches by 1} inches, were 
paired together and bolted about 6 inches each side of the centre with $-inch 
bolts ; at the centre itself a 13-inch auger hole was bored to fit the shaft, which 
is about 8 feet long, and with a crank having a throw of 5 inches, making a 
pump stroke of 1U inches. The casing of the mill was filled in with bark and 
any old boards that were about, which would keep the wind off the sails at the
