MAUVE BOX 
---------

By: Captian Generic



------------ 
Introduction 
------------

Please bear with me, as the construction of this  box  will  seem
rather  silly.   This  box  was found in a construction site.  Or
rather, it found us at a construction site.  We were using  a  $5
Radio  Shack  phone out of a semi-completed office building.  One
afternoon during a holiday, and immediately following a storm, we
found  our  bus  in shambles.  To our suprise, we also found that
one of the phone connections we  were  tapping  had  been  draped
through  a murky puddle.  The fact that suprised us even more was
that this line still worked and now posessed some great capibili-
ties.


--------- 
Materials 
---------

  2 tupperware or similar 8oz contianers
  1 small bag earth (dirt) (12oz)
  1 pint water
  2 lantern batteries
  1 nine volt battery
  1 battery clip
  2 SPST switches
  4 ounces of iron shavings
  2 polar magnets
  5 feet wire
  1 set soldering equipment


This is the part you won't believe.   Take  the  tupperware  con-
tainers,  and  fill them with a mixture of the earth and the iron
shavings.  Make sure that the mixture is well done.  (*NOTE*  for
best  results,  use the sand in fine ash trays.)  Cut the cut the
red and green wires and splice the switches into them.  From  the
switches,  solder  wire to the magnets.  Connect the red to the +
(positive) side of one magnet, and the green to the -  (negative)
side  of  the second magnet.  From the other poles of the magnet,
solder wires the battery & clip.  Make sure the + (positive)  and
-  (negative) are correct.  Set the nine-volt battery between the
two tupperware containers and place the battery end  of  the  two
magnets  into  the tupperware.  Now connect wire to the two poles
of the lantern battery, and place them in the same containers  as
the  poles  of  the magnets/9-volt battery.  You are almost done.
Finally, add just enough water to the two pots, and let them  sit
in the sun and bake like bricks.  at this point, you have a MAUVE
BOX.



---------------------------------
Explaning and Using What You Have
---------------------------------

The red and green wires have been places into  a  magnetic  field
which  is being charged continually be a lantern battery.  (It is
necessary to change this battery every one  to  one  and  a  half
months.)   This will literaly pull in the nearest phone conversa-
tiion.  (Don't try this in a big apartment or  dorm.)   When  the
9-volt  battery is connected, this will now create enough current
for the poles of  the  magnets  to  reverse  themselves  (perhaps
you're  seen  Mr. Wizard do this.  It's just like with the soap).
At this point, you have a phone transmitting to one (if not more)
of  the  nearest  phones.  (Again, if you're in a dorm, don't try
this.)  I suppose this just accomplishes what a tap would do, but
with a MAUVE BOX, your fingerprints never will show on a terminal
or on someones telephone lines.



------------------
Notes and Addendum
------------------

This will only work with a touch-tone phone connected to a  phone
line.   When the switches are pulled, it's off your line and into
the air.  This is named a MAUVE BOX, becuase  this  is  the  most
disgusting box, and I find mauve to be the single most disgusting
colour I know of.  Also, this file is  for  information  purposes
only.   This  is not to be used in an illegal manner. Perhaps one
of these by the pool, sending to your seth co-author,  accept  no
responsibility for your actions with the MAUVE BOX. Thank you..
