diameter and eight inches high. This
il to be half filled with ninety,two per
cent. alcohol A china saucer is placed
over the cylinder, which is then put
into q hoi water bath and heated quite
hot, but not the boiling point for al
cohol. Then tho cylinder, still COW
cred, is carefully and quickly placed
upon table in cool portion OF the
room. Very soon vapor will be dis
covered on the under side of the sau.
GER. clouds will form and from them
little drops fall down upon the alco-
hoI. This miniature shower may last
for a hour or more. The top part oil
the cylinder clears directly so that the
condensation is seen midway between
the alcohol and the saucer. 1t IS
curious and interesting sight, the
water below the clouds and the cleal
atmosphere above. 1t immediately
after removing the cylinder from tue
hot water BATH a cold saucer replaces
the hot one, storm currents ore dis
cernible. Often the currents will as
sembIe upon one side OF the cyiInde
| and descend upon the other. Conduct
ed upon o somewhat larger scale, thl
experiment would be OF great interes
TO classes of students. 1t is net an es
pensive one, and is very easily mai
