marble that is thicker through than the shell is deep, so that, when the marble is lying on the table, the shell placed over it is heid just clear of the table. Cut a round hole in the cardboard almost, but not quite, as large as the marble. Make this hole just as round and smooth edged as you can* so that the marble, when placed in it, turns round easily.
