STEVENSON At Coney Island is a museum, said to be the first of its kind in the world, which brings the history of outdoor amusement business right before the eyes of visitors. Known as the American Museum of Recreation, it was organized by William j F, Mangels, veteran Coney ride in- : ventor and manufacturer. Among i the* many exhibits are models from various parts of the world showing what lured nickels and dimes, and even quarters, from the pockets of the curious or thrill-seeking of other days as well as today. But what to my mind at least makes the museum real fun is that the models actually work. By merely pushing a button, the various rides can be made to do their stuff. Button-pushing also starts elaborate orchestrions to producing music some of which still packs a thrill for the average listener. In the ride department there is the famous old "criss-cross" where cars cross over on a switch Just in time to escape collision. There ia also a huge scale model of the famous "loop-the-loop" roller coaster invented and built at Coney Island in 1901. Press a button and the car runs down a big drop and does a complete loop. Maybe it would seem tame today but at the turn of the century, it was entirely too daring and so was a failure. A model shows that the first merry-go-round had stationary horses on a revolving platform. Undoubtedly it pleased youngsters who may now be graybeards with great-grandchildren. But kids of today, accustomed to galloping wooden horses, would merely sneer and pass on to something more exciting. One of the largest displays is bicycles, The oldest dates back to 1818, a steel-tired contraption which the rider operated by straddling the seat and running along the road. There are also the "bicycles built for two" of the romantic nineties, as well as the dangerous high wheelers of the eighties. A steam bicycle held my attention. Built in 1889, it has a coal-burning boiler. Nevertheless, it established a record of a mile in a minute and live seconds, which was fast road traveling a half century ago. But think of the hot cinders I ' Musical devices Include a complete exhibit of automatic orchestrions, which still respond to the plunk of a nickel in the slot. Tljey are huge affairs with air pumps and tubes that stir horns, cymbals, cas--" tanets and drums into heavy musical action. As the roll turns and a tune like "Stars and Stripes Forever" blares forth, the whole museum becomes alive and "Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny," played on a Regina music box from a steel plate with many indentations is still beautiful though its date is 1845. The first Edison phonograph, a stemwinder, is on exhibition, as well as the first hand organ brought to this country from Italy in the early 1700s. Yellowed newspapers tell < of crowds that came to Coney in 1823. One headline proclaims that the island had its biggest day in its history when more than 300 carriages passed through the tollgate on Shell road. When I read that I wondered what the writer would think if he could see Coney on a hot, bright Sunday these days as more than a million New Yorkers go out thpro for the sea breezes. The old toll ^at6v has long since vanished. But) the sign, showing the various rates charged, is shown in the museum. * ? For many years, Coney Island had a hotel shaped like a gigantic elephant and known as the Elephant hotel. It was quite a fashionable dwelling place. It has vanished along with the toll gate but there is a complete qjehitectural design in the museum. And that's all about Coney for today except that few visitors neglect to pay New York's famous amusement spot a friendly call and that millions of New Yorkers each year find it an escape from" the city at a cost of only a nickel subway fare. * * End Piece: A military officer from a foreign country, here be cause of the World's fair, was introduced to an American colonel the other afternoon. After the inrtroduc tion the officer from abroad seemed puzzled indeed. The American colonel didn't look, act or carry him self like a colonel. Investigation disclosed the fact that the American Is a Kentucky colonel. ^ (BeU Syndicate? WNU Service.)

For obvious reasons, the master mechanic was a little hesitant about going home. ?T11 tell you what to do if you don't want to disturb your wife," said the chief. "When you get in the house, undress at the foot of the stairs, fold your clothes neatly, therf creep quietly up the steps to your own room." They met the next morning at tlie plant.
