A soldier of the World War cherishes
an 18-lb. artillery shell as a souvenir of
his experiences, and this he has converted into the good-looking table lamp shown by the photograph. A hole was drilled through the nose and this was tapped to receive the supporting standard and lamp cluster. The base upon which the shell rests was turned
from a piece of black walnut and appropriately finished.—Edgar Downie, College Point, N. Y.
