• er1ence Mini-Mister shown here may find many uses in desert climates. It saves 96 percent of the water used in a normal shower. Cheap, portable, and solar heatable (just hang it up in the sun), its only drawback is need for a bicycle pump to pressurize. These plans are excerpted from a new Minimum Cost Housing Group report on their mist research and available water conserving showers: Water Conservation and the Mist Experience, 1978, $4.00 (Canadian) from: Minimum Cost Housing Group School of Architecture McGill University Montreal, Quebec, Canada -TB The ends of the pipe are closed with threaded clean-out caps, also of ABS plastic, which are cemented. A bicycle pump valve is attached to one of the caps, while a vinyl hose is attached to the other. At the end of this hose is the hand-operated control valve and handle, to which the atomizer nozzle is fixed. The vinyl hose can be made as long as desired, usually about 1.8 meters (6'). ABS plastic is an ideal material for the MINI-MISTER since it can be easily cut and drilled, is non-corrosive and readily cleaned, and can be glued and sealed with available plumbers' products. When not in use the hose and handle can be stored inside the reservoir. intellectually and reminds us that the intellect misses the mark with music about as far as it can with anything. It doesn't go beyond into where the real power and meaning of music is, but that's okay for now. It shows the similarities and differences of the wonderful instruments of various cultures, the different ways sounds are put together into "music" in different societies, and what different people value and try to do through their music. Gives a base from which to construct some new synthesis. -TB ~I) ~ 16 ~15 @,7 &), &6 Q e-:=:3 ~ ® 1.0 iYll Fireplaces, Ken Kern and Steve Magers, t'978, $7.00 from: Owner Builder Publications P.O.
