Moisture Experiments.
1t is not difficult to demonstrate, in
the school or al home, the presence
and action of this all-pervading, ever
present, and all-powerful agent in the
atmosphere.
l. To show that heat is absorbed in
| the process of eva Oration, drop some
ether upon the bulb of a thermometer;
the mercury falls, because its heat is
absorbed by the Vaporization of the
ether.
. That the amount of moisture eX-
| listing invisible in the air depends upon
| its temperature, may be SShown by
| placing a bottle of moist air, tightly
corked, upon ice and salt. in bowl.
As the air cOols, a cloud appears with
in the bottle.
3. Ice and snow mixed, and placed
in jar, will soon induce a deposit of
moisture on the outside, from the air,
| which is cooled by contact with il.
T. Place a square piece of copper
upon the surface of a mixture Of ice
and salt, and observe the minute
drops of moisture formed. This illus
| trates the mode in which dew is form
! ed upon the earth, the difference being
| that in one case the copper is cooled
| by the ice, in the other the earth is
cooled by radiation.
5. Expose different plates of differ
| ent substances. such as glass, wood.
/ rough copper, polished copper, all of
| the same size, on a cool night in sum-
mer. and observe the different
amounts of dew collected upon them.
| 6. Place a thermimeter upon the
ground on a clear night, suspend a sec
! ond thermometer ten or twelve feet
