Wedding Veil

Wedding Veil

Young brides simply can't afford to contract malaria on their wedding day. That's why we recommend you buy these finely meshed white nylon bags and cut them into veils. If you're already hitched, use them as intended: as insect bags. The bags are zippered and made of a light material, which lets air through, thus holding butterflies or other specimens, but not damaging them. You get (3) different size bags in a set: 14" x 6", 18" x 4", and 14" x 5".

Keep Your Ants Down on the Farm

All plastic ant farm(tm), 6" x 8-1/2" x 3/8". The ants will live between two parallel sheets of plastic, and you will be able to watch them build their tunnels and chambers. Complete with sand and instruction booklet on the care, feeding, watering and watching of your pet ants. Stands upright on its own base and includes an escape-proof cover. Assuming you want live pets (we have some charming plastic ones shown elsewhere in this catalog), you must return the included certificate to the ant man, who will ship a small vial of the little critters straight to you. Wonderful for frustrated myrmecologists living in high rise apartments or otherwise out of touch with the everyday ant-in-the-street.

Swinging Balls

The classic swinging balls, to amuse you on slow days in the office or physics lab, and to demonstrate Newton's Third Law. Drop one of the five hanging balls, one flies out from the other end; drop two and two fly out; drop three and it's amazing. The balls are set in a 7" x 9" x 9" high wooden frame. Isaac didn't invent these mesmerizing toys, by the way. That took Simon Prebble (whom some of you may remember as the evil Martin Chedwyn on "As the World Turns") who had an energy transference inspiration in 1967. (Where else can one learn these things?)

Radiometer

Another oldie but goodie. 5" high evacuated clear glass stand 3" in diameter at the top. A four bladed vane is balanced on a needle inside the sphere. Because opposite surfaces of the vanes are black and white, incident radiant energy is absorbed or reflected to a different degree. The result is a spinning vane. The brighter the light, the faster it spins. Simple, but compelling. Brief explanatory instruction sheet included.

Cooler Than Monkeys

Triops: way cooler, bigger and more active than sea monkeys. They're dinosaur shrimp, leftovers from some 200 million years ago. Don't eat them; just grow them and enjoy this bizarre & ancient display of nature! You get a kidney-shaped tank 2-3/8" tall x 8-1/2"x 5-3/4", a very informative instruction booklet, and a packet full of triops eggs and food. Add the eggs to water and watch them go; they'll hatch in a day and reach 1" to 2" or more in a few weeks. Really easy to do, and really cool too.

Measures 3" dia and comes with a 3" tall x 3" square (at the bottom) tapered onyx marble base with a depression in which to seat the globe. Very impressive, at a very impressive price.
