on. So if you make a giraffe,which is not difficult to do, you will have a feature inyour show that none but the very largest combines canafford. The animals head should be drawn the shapeof Fig. 272 on a board, and then cut out with the aid ofa saw and draw-knife. The jaw, ears, and horns shouldbe cut out separately, the shape of Figs. 273, 274, and275. Bore two holes in the head at A, slanting themtoward one another, and fit in them the pegs cut forthe horns. The jaw should be pivoted with a small nailat B on one side of the head, and an ear should be like-wise fastened at C on each side of the head. Whenthese portions of the giraffes anatomy have been put inplace, stretch a rubber band from a tack driven in thetop of the jaw to another tack driven into the neck (see A BACK-YARD CIRCUS 263 Fig. 272), and attach another rubber band similarly toeach of the ears. These rubber bands will act as springs,causing the ears to wag and the jaw to open and closewhen the giraffe moves his head.
