To Remedy Kinked Wire.—To take the kinks out of soft wire, rollthe rod between two smooth, hard boards. If the wire is large and hard, heavypressure will be required between planks or iron plates. Part of the work maybe done with the hammer before rolling. To Wrap with IVire.—It is a difificult matter, by use of the handsalone, to bind a broken article sufficiently tight to make it answer the purposeintended. A good device has for some time been in use, which works effect-ually, and is so simple that any one can produce it, and with the use of butvery few CHEAP AND HANDY WIRE BINDER. The illustration will show how it is made. It need not be more than sixinches long, one inch thick, and two inches wide at the top. Pieces are screwedon to the sides to support the reel, and a couple of little staples on the side tohold the wire in place. Reel the wire on to the spool at the top, bring the end down through thestaples and attach to the article to be bound ; then by the crank hold the wiretaut, and move the whole thing around the article to be bound. Another way to bind with wire, where an article is movable, is to have thesecond party hold the coil of wire with an improvised leverage, and put on thewrap by turning the stick to be bound, held at a strain, or, better still, by wind-ing the wire upon a spool and then reeling it off with leverage.
