FAMILY FUN
A Battle Game.—Shape pieces of chalk into ships, planing the bottoms evenly, and use matches for masts and smokestacks. Mark some of the ships with black ink and leave the others uncolored. Place the rival ships in a pan or plate close to an imaginary line, and pomvinegar in between the forces. You will hear a sharp hissing sound like escaping steqm, and the ships will at once move forward, leaving tracks of foam in their wake. Their speed increases as they near the dividing line, and they come together with a crash and a jump, striving to push one another out. Sometimes the battle is very exciting, the victorious side being the one with the most ships left in the centre. The chemistry class may be able to explain why the ships are set in motion.-
