\par }{\b\f1 Kid 2: }{\f1 Wow! This whole
wall looks like the inside of an aquarium!
\par }{\b\f1
\par Kid 1: }{\f1 Those aren\rquote t water
bubbles, they\rquote re paperweights.
\par }{\b\f1
\par Kid 2:}{\f1 What\rquote s a paperweight?
\par }{
\par }{\b\f1 David:}{\f1 }{\i\f1 \'93Well,
it\rquote s exactly what it sounds like. It\rquote
s a decorative weight for holding down papers
on your desk. They were in
vented in the 1840s, when more and more people
could read and write, the postal service was
improving, and so people were sitting at their
desks writing letters, collecting correspondence,
and the paperweight came into existence to
be a highly decorative
functional object.\'94
\par
\par }{\b\f1 Kid 1:}{\f1 Don\rquote t you
think it would a lot easier to just put a
}{\i\f1 rock}{\f1 on top of your papers?}{
\par
\par }{\b\f1 Kid 2:}{\f1 Maybe, but it wouldn\rquote
t be as nice to look at. I\rquote d rather
have a colorful mushroom on my desk instead
of a plain old rock.
\par
\par }{\b\f1 Narrator:}{\f1 If you start at
the bottom of this case and work your way
up to the top, you can see the different stages
of how that mushroom paperweight was made.
\par But there isn\rquote t really a mushroom
inside. It\rquote s made up of a group of
slices of mosaic glass canes that are melted
together to make the bright and colorful pattern
of the mushroom top.
\par
\par }{\b\f1 Kid 1: }{\f1 I get it. The glass
canes are squeezed up next to each other just
like when you grab a handful of uncooked spaghetti
in you hand.
\par
\par }{\b\f1 Kid 2: }{\f1 So what happens
next? }{
\par
\par }{\b\f1 David}{\f1 : }{\i\f1 \'93It\rquote
s then encased in glass. In fact, it\rquote
s encased not only in colorless glass, but
also in layers of white glass and red glass,
which are cut away in order to make the little
windows that you can look at the mushroom
through.\'94
\par
\par }{\b\f1 Narrator:}{\f1 Look around this
display and see what else you can find. Look
out for butterflies. Maybe you\rquote ll find
a lizard or some birds. And I know you\rquote
ll discover plenty of flowers.
\par }{
\par }{\b\f1 Kid 2:}{\f1 Are you }{\i\f1 sure}{\f1
they didn\rquote t put }{\i\f1 real}{\f1 things
in there?
\par }{
\par }{\b\f1 David:}{\f1 }{\i\f1 \'93They
look lifelike, but they\rquote re not. Every
single one of them is made entirely out of
glass.\'94
