Interesting Little Stories Direct From Nature Written for The Junior Call
William F. File
THESE little lumps that look like
rocks are only a fine quality of
clay; ; v \u25a0
If I tell you thatevery ounce of clay
contains aluminum it may surprise you,
but: men have long' known -- that > clay
was composed '< partly _ of /this { metal.
The problem has been .to find a process
whereby." the ' metal could be extracted
at low expense.
This shows the'elay asit came from'
the bank or mine"- in Alabama: or Ar
kansas. The bottle contains oxide of
aluminum.
[.-. The, clay Is subjected -to a chemical
process arid the result is an oxide, this
powder-as. white; and? fine as: fine". flour.
This is ; subjected to . another- process;
and then 'we j have the. beautiful white
metal' aluminum.
It Is becoming more'available in the
industries, and- arts , "every year
cause Improved V processes are i being'
discovered. '.. The time will come when"
noti" only.' will :our cooking* utensils be
inafi^' from ' it, but . .many :> of sthe""com-^

HOW TO MAKE CORK PICTURES
WHAT! You' have never made cork
pictures . and you've actually
grown up to be as big as you
are without even hearing 'of them?
Why, you'va missed 'half the fun in
life. I advise you to begin, at once,
before you are. any older. Make some.
You 'can start right oft* now. Do you
happen to know where there are any
old corks to be found? Aren't you
quite sure that there are-.some ~'up-
Htairs or downstairs or : somewhere?
Well, run right along quickly and find
them. Then bring them here and I'll
tell you what to. do.
Ycu must wash them all off first.
Put them in 'some warm, soapy water
and ' let them soak for a while. Lefs
see; you will need some good stout
cardboard or brlstol .board, or some
such thing. Have you any ,old boxes
that you can sacrifice? We can use
the cardboard they are made of if you
bring the boxes herd." ;
You will need some mucilage or glue,
too. Do you know where to find some?
All right, bring it. ' ,
Now, -where Is your jackknlfe? I
think |we have everything ; ready to
begin when the corks are washed and
dried. ' • ' \ '
Let's see— what do you • want 'to
make? Suppose we begin with some
thing that is quite easy— a cork pic
ture card with the picture of a house
and; garden.
lonly;l only; very .wonderful in; this ; respect,'
but* it ; also -very 'fine in it's " furnishings.
'C : I ican ; imagine , the 'tarantula' crawling,
into .'a • millionaire's'lhome': and,' looking
: about ' its fine furnishing/ asking,' "After

done draw a sketch of the house that
you wisn to make.

Every one can draw a house! . Make

Now cut little strips off the corks.
Paste one right over the other on the

keep them about the. same size and
put" them on evenly. "
What now? Why, you will have to
fill in the other spaces. Cut large
thin slices from that largest cork and
fill in the rest of the house. Only,
don't fill in the . door and window
spaces.

you've forgotten to make the chimney. .
Cut a tiny square for that.

course, you know just what : kind of
a picture you want to make. You put
the chimney there and you intended
to cover it.
Oh, you're cutting those long pieces
for the rails of the fence, aren't you?
And you're going to have tree*, too.
And that funny little rounding corner
piece' will just do for a hammock:'
