ARTIFICIAL RAIT2.
sow 70 Make Tempest in Bottle
Unique Experiment..

n. ErreTa, professor at the univer-
sity of Brussels, has succeeded and by
= very simple process, in making art1-
fetal rain, says the New York Herald.
All that he uses is bottle Of Bohemian
glass, which is covered with an or
dinary porcelain saucer and is half
filed with alcohol of SO degrees
strength. He heats this bottle in bath
of water until the alcohol, the sides
Of the bottle and the saucer are Of an
almost equal temperature Then he
takes it out Of the bath, places it
5arefully on q table and observes it
closely.
lie is rewarded by an interesting
sight. The vapor of the alcohol soon
fills the bottle, hut the SANGER cools rap
idly and the vapor, teins warmer, be-
comes condensed as soon as it comes
IN contact with it. TIE upper air in
the bottle also quickly becomes of a
lower temperature and real clouds soon
appear. These speedily become dis
solved into multitude of tiny rain
drops, which fall thickIy, just as an
ordinary rain shower. The bath or
water performs the function of the
sun, the alcohol represents the ocean; ;
The clear space beneath the saucer may
be compared to the pure Sky. which
dominates the so-lbar Inass of clouds
and the upper air in the bottle, chilled
by contact with the saucer, plays the
role OF the cold atmospheric currents
which bring about the condensation OF
vapor into clouds. We see, then, that
the phenomenon is faithfully repro
duced in all lis details. i still more
striking result can be obtained by U.s.
ing a cold saucer il place Of the warm
one. In that case the difference Of

can witness n regular old-iashiOned
