Revised (2nd) edition illustrated with new drawings by the author. From the Preface: "The prime instinct of almost any boy is to make and to create. He will make things of such materials as he has at hand, and use the whole force of dream and fancy to create something out of nothing. Almost every boy experiments at one time or another with electricity and electrical apparatus. It is my purpose in writing this book to open this wonderland of science and present it in a manner which can be readily understood. The apparatus and experiments that I have described have been constructed and carried out by boys. Their problems and their questions have been studied and remedied. I have tried to present the practical matter considered wholly from a boy's standpoint, and to show the young experimenter just what he can do with the tools and materials either in his possession or not hard to obtain.
