A Curious Experiment.

To the Editors of the Even1ng Post viii
some one of your scientific readers endeavor
to explain curious phenomenon, which Ias
been witnessed by many, but to account for
which | have been unable to elicit any salts
factory theory:
Fill a common wine glass with water, so
that it will be difficult to add more without
overlooking, or, except with very steady
hand, to raise it to your lips without spilling.
If asked how many pins could be dropped
into this glass without causing the water to
overflow, some perhaps would answer half
dozen or dozen, others might say possibly
twenty or thirty; many would affirm the I'M
possibility of putting in single pin; none
who had never seen the experiment tried
would believe it possible that eight hundred
or nine hundred pins could be placed in the
glass without the overlooking of a drop of
water. Yet such is the fact, as one can test
for himself by careful experiment. 1t is only
necessary TO drops the pins in, points down.
ward, gently and cautiously, one, two or three
at time, and you can continue it till the
glass is pretty closely packed with the pms,
and they are piled half an inch or an inch
above the surface.
l have frequently seen more than eight hun
dred pins of fully average size, and in one in
stance more than nine hundred, weighing
three ounces, put in common tapering sher'
ry glass, which had been fairly filled with wa
ter, to the satisfaction of several persons pres
ent, who were previously skeptical as to the
possibility of the performance.
1t may be said that the water must of course
rise above the edge of the glass to an extent
exactly equal to the bulk of the pins; but this
does not appear to be the case-the rise of the
water being comparatively small, The fact
that eight or nine hundred pins, weighing
three ounces, and filling a wine glass, can be
submerged in wine glass full of water with
out increasing the volume of the latter in a
corresponding degree, is sufficiently curious
and interesting to make it worthy of scientific
investigation. E. w. S.
New York, Aug. "a, 1868.

vouch for its accuracy. Will some of the
