A Water candIestick.

to offer a substitute for the regular
sticks now in use, but curiosity. To
make this little experiment get piece
OF candle three or four inches in
length, and in the bottom of 1t put a
nail or other convenient piece of
metal. the weight of the nail being
just enough to submerge the candle
down to point Immediately below
the wick. OF course the wick must
be kept out of the water.
A tall glass tumbler is the best for
the experiment. and it should be near
ly, but not quite, filed with water.
When everything is ready light the
candle, and you will find that 1t will
burn steadily, right at the surface of
the water, until it is entirely con-
sumed.
