 This is from the files of my maternal grandmother, Wilma Stahley.  She was born
  in a sod house on the Nebraska prairie when it was still a territory.
 
 Place lump of coal in quart size fish bowl, pour 1/4 cup table salt over coal. 
  Add about 1/4 cup water, being careful not to wash salt off the coal.  Add 3 d
 rops each of red, yellow, blue and green food coloring on top of salt.
 
 When salt begins to “grow” the colors blend together, making a colorful water g
 arden.  Add a tablespoon of water each day ---carefully avoid washing away the 
 salt formations.
