Dear Zoom, I've got a tough one for you. Sit down and put your knees up to your stomach. And put your hands around your knees. And wobble forward on your seat. Don't let your feet touch the ground. See how fast you can go. Sent in by Joseph Tenaglia of Morris Plains, New Jersey. And you'll find out what's inside today.

My friends and I are learning how the Indians of New England and used things like tree bark to make some of the things that they needed. This is going to be a mat, and it's probably the hardest thing that Lee and I have tried so far. It's made from reeds woven together with hemp string. With two people working on a mat this big, it takes about ten days to finish. Carole and Terry are weaving baskets made from the bark of an ash tree.

You weave the bottom of the basket as big as you want, and then you just start weaving the sides up as high as you'd like to. Mark is making a belt out of bark from a cedar tree. The only hard part is stripping away the outer bark and then peeling the inner bark into strips. Once that's done, the rest of it is easy. You just start braiding the bark until it's long enough to fit around your waist. Let's go.

Looks pretty good. Thank you. It's interesting to discover that you can make things like baskets and belts with bark from a tree.

But to the Indians, hundreds of years ago, it was the best way to make things that they needed. Finished. C-4? Yeah. C-3? Yeah. Did you know that a person sleeps 35% of his life? Yeah, I know. Danielle Smith of the Bronx, New York, knows another way to play concentration, and it's

There are four boys in my cabin, and I have known them since I was four or five years old. I grew up with them and played sports with them, football, basketball, and track and field. We are very good friends.

Mr. Cuthin is the director of camp by Sola Bella, and he is a very easy cabin inspector. He caught only a little bit of dirt and he forgot the other places where maybe the friends

of the cobwebs are hiding. For a cabin inspection this morning was very, very exciting and hard for me to pick first place. two cabins. I found some dust on the floor under the bed and found some string cobwebs too. So third place goes to teepee and mohawk. The boys didn't do very well in the morning cabin cleanup so we lost the inspection. Cleaning is boring.
