The paper straws that are used at
most soda fountains nowadays are
more easily obtained, if you live in
the city, than real straws, and they
are also stronger and more reliable.
Or small glass tubes may be used. For
the shells goose eggs are better than
hens eggs, as they are larger and the
shells are thicker and less brittle.
The shells are emptied through small
holes bored in each end. A short
