A Scientific Explanation Of Q Common
Fact-Dust in Cupboards.
When the air around us becomes
oondensed-shrinks into q smaller
volume becomes heavier, puts
greater pressure on the surface OF
the mercury and makes it ascend in
the tube; then the mercury is said to
rise. When the air expands-swells
into a larger volume-it becomes
lighter. the pressure on the mercury
sinks in the tube, and the barometer
Is said to fall. Therefore, every
change OF the height of the quick
silver which we observe is sign
and measure Of a change in the vol
ume OF the air around US, says the
Popular Science Monthly.
Further, this change IN the vol
ume tells no less upon the air inside
our cases and cupboards. When the
barometer falls the air around ex-
pands into larger volume, and the
air inside the cupboard also expands
and forces itself out at every minute
crevice. When the barometer rises
again, the air inside the cupboard.

shrinks, and the air is forced back
INTO the cupboard to equalize the
pressure, and, along with the air, in
