BOILING WATER IN A SHELL OF PAPER,
-Nata"e is publishing a series of attractive
articles on physics without Apparatus. ."
In the latest number are given expert
ments for boiling water and melting lead
on piece of paper: Take piece of paper
and fold it up, as school boys do, into a
square box without lid. Hang this up
to walking stick by four threads, and
support the stick upon books or other
convenient props. Then lamp or taper
must be placed under this dainty caul-
dron. In few minutes the water will boil
The only fear is lest the threads should
catch fire and let the water spill into the
lamp and over the table. The flame must
therefore not be too large. The paper
does not burn, because it is wet and even
if it resisted the wet it still would not
burn through, because the heat impaired
to it on one side by the flames would be
very rapidly conducted away by the
water on the other. Another experiment
of similar nature, but perhaps even
more striking, is AS follows: Twist up
the edges of a common playing card or
other bit of card board, 80 us TO fashion
it into Il light tray. On this tray place
layer Of small shots or bits of lead.
and heat it over the flame of lamp.
The lead will melt, but the card will not
burn. 1t may be charred little round the
edges, but Immediately below the lead it
will not be burned, for here again the
lead conducts off the heat on one side us
fast us it is supplied on the other.
