To entertain your friends on a rainy afternoon, get a glass jar and a large cork to fit into its top. Fig. I . Cut a hole in the center of the cork and fit a small funnel securely into it. Cut several butterflies from tissue paper. Fig. 2. Glue a small bit of match stick to the center of each one. Fill the jar about half full of water. Drop a package of Seidlitz powder or Alka-Seltzer into it. Close the jar with the cork. Place the butterflies inside the funnel. When the Seidlitz powder / Alka-Seltzer tablets begins to effervesce, the gas given off by this process will pass through the funnel and send the butterflies winging about the room.
