nina BAN NoznIc ErnInIned.

Editor Morning News: 1 have been
asked to give an explanation of the Won
derful ball nozzle. 1t seems to be regard
ed more as a puzzle than anything else
Something on the order of a freak IN ma
ture and to the uniformed It IS a puz-
zle But there is nothing wrong with ma
ture Under like circumstances the same
always happens.
Nature abhors a vacuum and this ex-
plains the thing in a nut shell, or rather
in this case it's. a ball nozzle, a funnel
mouth nozzle with a ball in 1t. The ac-
ton of volatile, complex bodies under pres
sure Is always in straight line. When
the water is forced through the small
opening behind the ball, 1t finds relief in
passing on all sides of the ball, rather
than lifting it; hence as the pressure is
increased, the straight line is described
which must needs leave a hole behind the
ball--a vacuum-the atmosphere pressing
against the exposed surface OF the ball in
front. forces 1t back to fiji this vacuum.
If you take a clear glass funnel-a col
ored transparent fluid. and a bali of differ
ent color, you can plainly see the vacuum
and watch 1t expand and contract under
different degrees of pressure. With all its
beauty and use, 1t is very simple-when
you know how. John A. Winburn.

A conspicuous difference between the

by tine fact that, whereas in the former

of our theatrical productions would lose
