Question Comer
ANSWER - R.C. Lichty wanted a recipe for making
dancing moth balls in a bowl of water. Thanks to Mrs.
Paul Bauscher of Lenhartsville and Susanna Bicher of
Bethel who sent in theirs.
Fill a rose bowl, or any kind of a clear bowl with a
curved surface, with water. Add one teaspoon of baking
soda, one teaspoon of citric acid crystals, and three to
five mothballs for each cup of water.
The chemical reaction will keep the moth balls mov
ing from the surface of the water to the bottom of the ball
and back for about two hours.
If you place the bowl on a mirror, you will get twice the
effect. The water can be colored with food coloring or a
flower can be floated on top.
Some people anchor the flower to the bottom of the
bowl with a tiny, needle-type flower holder, a bit of adhe
sive tape, or modeling clay.
When the balls stop moving, add another spoonful of
citric acid crystals and soda to start them again.

Balloons - Uninflated balloons
and pieces of broken balloons are
very dangerous for young child
ren. Children can suffocate from
sucking uninflated balloons or
pieces of balloons into their
throats. Balloons easily mold to
the shape of the throat so they
completely cover and block the air
passages. The Consumer Product
Safety Commission recommends
parents do not allow children
under six to play with uninflated
balloons unless watched carefully.
