Tornado Tube
Simple, yet clever 1" dia. by 3" long plastic device to demonstrate the vortex effect of a tornado. Partially fill with water one of the two half-gallon size plastic soda bottles which you supply. Screw the bottles into opposite ends of the tube which we supply. Tip so the full bottle is on top and give it a circular starting whirl. Presto! You have a vortex. Call it a tornado if you're a meteorologist, a Charybdis if you're a classicist, or a whirlpool if you're into oceanography. Lots of fun and a fine opportunity to attempt to explain the effects of the earth's rotation on water draining out of a bathtub. The phenomena are related we're told, but good luck!!

Survival Kit
Someday when you're lost in the woods, you'll be very, very glad you ordered this compact survival kit. It's the classic camp director's whistle, raised to new heights. The 4-1/2" x 1-1/8" dia orange-plastic treasure hangs around your neck on a yellow nylon cord. On one end, the whistle. On the other, a compass. Unscrew the compass, and it reverses to a signal mirror, and reveals a 2-1/2" deep waterproof compartment for aspirin or medicinal brandy - or for the matches you're going to strike against the 3/4" long sparker. No, it's not overkill for a teacher to wear it on the playground. 'S cool.

“Men’s Room.” “Exit.” “Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the week after next.” Craft an artful message on one of these good–looking 3/8” to 1/2” thick pressboard plaques with beveled edges. All are light–colored, all have a couple of 3/8” dia holes near the top. For a nice down–home country look, hang your plaque by the 20” to 35” lengths of twine threaded through the holes. For a classy look, apply a faux metal finish, drill (2) more holes, and mount it with brass screws. Perfect for whatever message you want to send.

Lookers!
The kids need presents for all the grandmas and great-aunts? You volunteer at the nursing home and need token gifts for your L-O-Ls? And your eyes aren't so good, either? Our each is really half a dozen pretty little magnifiers with round lenses and fancy handles. The handles are silver-bright (hard to believe they're aluminum) and all different. Each has a discreet hole in the tip for a jump ring so it could be worn on a necklace -- but it would look just as pretty on a desk. The overall length of the (6) magnifiers varies from about 3-3/4" to 5", the lenses from 1-1/4" to 1-3/4" dia. All are approx 2X magnification. Mary Ann's pick of the month.

Magnehesive Tape
The ultimate in refrigerator-door decorating: a 25-foot x 3/4" wide roll of dark brown magnetic tape in a handy dispenser with a tear-off bar. Rip off a strip of tape, stick the sticky side to a photo, art project, or note and the magnetic side will hold it on a refrigerator door, file cabinet, or any other steel surface. Light duty, like all fridge magnets, so stick to notes and pix and other fluff.
