How many Of our young people
have spent hours over those delicately
colored wonders, the soap bubbles.
Many Of US still believe. as we be-
lieved when children. that no gem
surpasses a soap bubble in beauty;
and one cannot help feeling really
sorry when each exquisite plaything
bursts.
Sir Isaac Newton. who sought out
the secret that falling apple hint
ed, said of the soap bubble that
man or child who could blow one
that would last would confer a great
benefit upon mankind. You may
wonder at this saying. but the truth
of it will soon be apparent.
Perhaps some of you do not know
how to make a good soap bubble mix
ture, SO give YOU the directions for
preparing one.
Put into a pint bottle two ounces
OF best white CASTLE soap. cut into
thin shavings, and fill the bottle with
cold water which has been first boiled
and then left to cool Shake well to-
gether. and allow the bottle to stand
until the upper part of the solution
is clear. Decant now of this clear
solution two parts. and add one part
OF glycerin, and you have a soap bub-
Bile mixture very much like one sug-
gested by a professor of Harvard Col
lege.
Some of YOU may wonder why bub-
bles cannot be blown from water
alone. Il is because the particles do
not possess sufficient attraction for
one another to form a film Mys-
teriously. the soap increases this at
traction. even if the quantity be as
small as Tooth part Of the solution.
We add the glycerin to make the film
more gorgeous by bringing about a
greater play of colors. Bear in mind
that carefully prepared mixture
will save you much disappointment.
The solution now being at hand,
we use the ordinary clay tobacco pipe
in blowing. Always use a new one,
for one in which tobacco has been
smoked is poisoned. With a little
practice. and a moderate amount of
patience. bubbles measuring eight or
ten inches in diameter may be pro-
duced. and even larger ones if the
lungs be refilled. The pipe, OF
course. should be held steadily, and
the breath forced into the bubbles
evenly.
In order TO watch a bubble care
fully we may wish to support it in
some way. A common table goblet
will make a good stand If its edge is
first dipped into melted paraffin, OF

cutting into the film.
