      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
      capibilities.


 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 containers, 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 conversatiion.  (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..
