Thsx Breathe Gas In Wheeling.

The gas holder OF the Wheeling CIV.
va) municipal gns plant is said to be
so full OF holes that It leaks at the
rate Of 15.0O0 cubic feet per day. The
gas works management proposes to add
natural gas to the manufactured gas
in the holder, claiming that since it is
lighter 1t will rise to the top and leak
out and thus save the coal gas. The
charge has been made that the works
have been adding natural gas at %
cents to their coal gas for some time
and selling 1t for 20 cents. One is not
surprised at anything that comes from
out OF Wheeling .-Progressive Age.

"BubbIes" and Science

Until Lord Rayleigh supplied the
missing explanation scientific men had
been able to explain how it is
that a soap bubble can exist. 1t is
only with a very few liquids that soar
bubbles can be blown. The reason is
that some cannot lather ever If shaken
up vigorously, while others lather with
complete ease. The natural question
therefore arose, why is it that some
liquids lather and others will not, and
how is it that a sphere of liquid film
Of almost ininitesimal thickness can
exist In a still moist atmosphere for
hours and W. days." This was all
exclusively explained for the first
time by Lord Rayleigh.
The explanation is partly a question
Of physics and chemistry, and it may
be succinctly described, according to
Sir Oliver Lodge. as follows: "A sur
face which possesses the minutest
trace of scum has less tension than a
clear or lesser Scummed surface, and
such a scum, no matter how thin it
may be, has the tendency to slide down
II its liquid support or foundation dis
plays any inclination to the horizon.
Furthermore, a lathering liquid has a
complex and resistible constitution
sufficient to yield by partial dissocia-
ton, owing to the tension Of the sur
face. a quasi solid scum. while the con-
slant tendency Of the viscous liquid to
slip between two LAYERS of scum is a
very slow process"
