Os emeralds Lying on black velvet: Or a wine giass of intricate workmanship. Whose fragile stem . ~, , . Holds up a sparkling, red-hued liquid. All of these Remind me of you, Dolores.
GERMAN FINDS WAY TO MODEL FISH SPECIMENS Prepares Perfect Duplicates With Wax and Plastcr-of-Paris. Bu Science Service BERLIN, May 4.—Museum specimens of fish can be prepared in such a way as to be as bright and interesting and attractive as the mounted animals or birds, instead of the bleached and disappointing things they usually are in their jars of alcohol, according to the claims of M. Schelenz, a preparator at the Carlsruhe Museum, writing in the German scientific journal Naturforscher. In Herr Schelenz’s method, one side of a freshly killed fish is carefully cleaned of its coat of mucus, or slime. The specimen is then embedded in modelling clay, leaving the cleaned side projecting. Then melted paraffin is poured over it, forming a solid block and impregnating the fish with the wax. The paraffined fish is next removed, leaving an exact mould of itself in the clay. Into this mould fine plaster-of-paris is poured and allowed to harden. Then the clay is dissovled away, and the plaster cast of the fish remains, with every detail of skin and scale and fin exactly as it was in nature.

FIGKTH "BADERS KEEP 0 AS SPRING C-MES History and Posies Blend in Class Work; Bonds and Music, Too. Miss Helen Ashcraft, Times school editor, is Koins: through school attain, from the first (trade to the end of With school in twelve days. The nimble student will be promoted a (trade a day. She is doiiiK this to Rive Indianapolis parents intimate pictures of what their children do during the long school hours when they are away from home. The story of her adventures will be printed —a grade at a time—on The Times school page each Friday for twelve weeks. This is the story of the eighth grade. BY HELEN ASHCRAFT Hundreds of eighth grade boys and girls in Indianapolis or all over the country, for that matter, are sitting in their seats this week — reacting to the final pedagogical stimuli of hundreds of teachers. What the grown-up bighth grader is going to do in each case will be a reactional sum-total of all the pedogogical stimuli of the teachers who have trailed his footsteps from primer to department. Added to this, will be Bobble’s and Betty’s account of the last warm lazy days spent in wondering what is going to happen when. In one of the intervals of passing from one class to ;* other, they will “pass” straight through the door out into the world of reality. Spring Is in the Air But whatever teacher says goes, although all eighth grade Bobbies and Betties don’t always think so. Whatever makes them sit up straight and pay undivided attention to “teacher” this week can’t be accounted for. Besides they’re all too busy wondei'ing what’s outside the door! A • pupil of Riverside School No. 44, W. Twenty-First St. and Sugar Grove, would tell you that he can remember these things if he wants to! Miss Elizabeth Kirby visiting science class and joining in the discussion about spring ’ flowers and withholding information about a certain specimen to make us interested in finding out for ourselves; and Miss Gladys G. Murphy, the science teacher, explaining interesting things about kinds, color, and habitat. Cantata Is Planned The history class under Miss Winnefred Galvin. Talk about the Spanish American War, the Boxer Rebellion, punctuated with criticisms of each others oral recitations. Opportunity to talk and talk all you want. Bonds, brokers, brokerage, fractions, and test shejts in the arithmetic class under Miss Elma Jennings. The smooth, voice and calm manner of the teacher. Patient explanation of percentage and “above and below par.” Long hours of chorus practice with Miss Della McPherson. Singing catchy tunes from our commencement cantata. “The Childhood of Hiawatha,” while Miss McPherson played on the tiny piano up front. Amusing composition contests with Mrs. Martha Guilford who allowed us to select the best ones and read thdm aloud to the class. Mrs. Guilford had a theory that we were better students as well as better “behaviorists” when she made us think we were. And we are!
