How sugar Melts.

If we drop lump of sugar into a cup
of tea we find it takes a considerable
time to melt if allowed to remain at the
bottom Of the vessel, but if we hold it
up In the spoon near the surface Of the
liquid it dissolves much more speedily.
This is owing to the sugar as it melts
rendering the portion of the tea con-
tanning it heavier. The sweetened part,
therefore, descends. leaving the sugar
constantly in contact with unsweetened
or only partially sweetened team fact,
a continual circulation of fluid is pro-
NOTED until the whole is dissolved.
When the sugar is placed or permit
ted to lie at the bottom Of the cup it
dissolves until the layer of fluid next
it is thoroughly sweetened or saturat-
ed, when it practically ceases to dis
solve any further, the sweetened and
heavier stratum above it acting for a
considerable time until the law of diff
fusion comes gradually into play. like
an impervious covering, in keeping
back the lighter, unsweetened fluid
above.
Hence the reason also why stirring,
in breaking up the saturated layer and
allowing access to the unsweetened
portion. is so effectual in bringing
about the uniform sweetening Of tea.
Life is not infrequently sweetened by
the same stirring up process
