Al SAYS A PIECE OF
CARDBOARD MAKES A
GOOD "WEATHERlMAN"
Iandicraft for Boysl

AL had come over to Jims house
to visit for an hour or so that Friday
evening. The two were up in inns
garret den talking things over"
Want to know how to make a
good dependable weather forecaster,
Jim?" asked AL.
Sure Mike, want to know how
to make anything" Jim was of a
mechanical turn OF mind.
We'll, this thing is simple as the
deuce to make. All you need to do is
get a piece of white pasteboard about
FIVE or six inches square. Then go
to the druggist and ask him to mix
up a solution of one part cobalt
chloride, ten parts gelatine and 100
parts water He won't change SO
very much-just a few cents.
You soak the piece OF cardboard
in this stuff for few minutes and
then hang it up on a string run
through little hole you should punch
in one corner, to dry It's better to
put this hole in the card before you
soak it in the solution.
Soon as it's dry, the weather fore
caster is all ready to forecast. Just
hang it up outside some place where
the rain won't strike it."
Eyes, but how does that thing tell
you what the weather's going to be-"
Just what was a-comin' to-" re-
Piled Al. "See, now, when the wealth
er's going to be unsettled the card
board will be purple. When it's GO
ing TO rain ii will be light pink And
when it's going to be clear, the card
will be sky blue"
We'll, say, that's pretty nifty, amt
it But will it work all the time?"
"Oh, some times it won't forecast
right-even the weather man can't
always hit the nail on the head. But
it's pretty dependable"
Gee, | guess III make one tomor-
row" And Jim did.
