Each of the elements is provided with a magnet or magnetic substance at a pre-designated position therein. A plurality of corresponding operative substances are fixed at such positions where the magnets or magnetic substances of the arranging elements are opposed thereto, respectively, when each arranging element is placed in its pre-determined position.
