- 5 - HALLOWE ' EN Here are some black cats. I ' m scared of the witches with their brooms. See the skeletons trying to scare us! Henry Rojo, Form F Age 6. THE SQUIRREL The squirrel ' s a jolly fellow With a beautiful reddish coat. He hibernates in winter, And in summer time he ' s out. Autumn is the time When he goes and gathers nuts. He runs around, gathering busily. To fill all his huts. In winter time he sleeps so soundly While there ' s not a stir But then he ' s finally up in spring And brushing out his fur. Paul Trapnell, Borm B Age 10. MY STRANGE HOBBY Ky strange hobby is skull collecting and preparing. At least, I think it is an unusual hobby. Three years ago my mother went to work at the Museum of Science, and I started to visit the museum regularly. I became very interested in biology, the animals, and the exhibits. Two years later, Gary Rhindress, a friend on the staff of the museum gave me a squirrel skeleton, prepared. I put the squirrel together and became interested in this part of science. Later, on a hike, I found a raccoon sk ill. When we returned to the museum, Gary gave me a paper which told me how to prepare my own skulls. After that Gary let me do my own skulls at the museum. To prepare a skull, you remove the fur with a sharp scalpel and clean out the inside of the skull with a brain hook. The skull is now placed in a gallon of water to which cup of household ammonia has been added. It is allowed to soak for two or three days. Next the skull is boiled for at least half an hour in a solution of two gallons of water and a handful of ordinary washing soda. When the flesh on top of the head shows a tendency to separate from the cranium, the skull has cooked enough. The skull should be cooled gradually to avoid cracking the teeth or beak. This can be done best by allowing fresh water to run into the cooking solution. After the skull is completely cooled, the remaining flesh must be removed with a small scalpel or special bone scraper.
