a, vase of flowers, and over the vase q bell
glass with its rim in the, water, The air
that surrounds; the. flowers, being confined,
beneath the bellglass, is constantly moist
with water, that rises intoitin the, form of
Yapor.,. As fast as the watpe becomes. con
depsed itrups, down the side Of the bell
glass into the dish and if means, be taken
to enclose thelwater 81 the outside of the
bell glass, SO as TO prevent its eyaporatipg
into. the airs the sitting room, the, atmos-
pherc around the. flowers is continually.
damp The plan is designated the "IIop-
eap,A pparatus, " The experiment may be
tried on small scale by .invcrting II tum-
