FUN WITH ~ourcH TEARS.
A Little Experiment Of Interest Which Almos:
Any One Can Perform.

'It is a great wonder to me-" said an
old chemist in his laboratory the other
day, why more boys do not take up
chemical experiments as an amusementa
Why, I can do things with the common
materials of everyday life which really
seem to be more magical to the uniniti-
ated than any of the wonders performed
by magicians on the public stage
Now. there are those curious little bub-
bles of glass known variously as Prince
Rupert's drops and Dutch tears APP
parently they are merely little globules
of glass with elongated tails, made by
heating a small glass rod in a fame and
allowing the molten drops to fall into
water. After they have cooled you may
pound the thick part with a hammer or
mallet, yet you cannot break them. On
the other hand. if you break little piece
or their tails, or touch any part of them
with quartz crystal, they will disappear
into the surrounding atmosphere quicker
than snow will melt on hot fire. To the
person who does not know the reason the
performance is most astonishing.
And yet it is all very simple 1t is due
to what is known as surface cohesion.
Glass when heated to a molten state has
naturally reached very high tempera
| ture, and when the drops of melted glass
are allowed to fall into the cold water
the sudden change produces a stress all
over the surface of the drop which is
| really terrific. This stress, however, must
be considered as a whole. 1t is very
strong when taken all together, but it is
exactly as though a piece of very thin
rubber was stretched over the surface of
| the glass. If you punctured the rubber
| its haste to resume it's normal condition
would pull it Off the glass.
$50 when you break off the tail of the
drop or cut through the film of very hard
| glass with a crystal. its endeavor sudden
| ly to resume it's normal condition results
| in it's own destruction, ard it breaks up
| into particles, which are really finer than
+! the finest sand. 1t seems like a wonderful
| performance. but it is no more wonderful
| than many another which any youngster
could perform If he would study even the
simplest forms of chemical action"
