drops depends on what vibrating
bodies may be in the neighborhood, as
may be shown by the following pretty
experiment:
Connect one end OF a rubber tube
with the water faucet or with a vessel
or water on shelf and in the other
end insert glass medicine dropper,
explains Peoples Home Journal. Hold
the glass tube. pointing downward
over vertical metal tube. the upper
end OF which is covered with sheet
rubber tightly stretched. Hold the
tube at such height that the stream
just fails to break into separate drops
before 1t strikes the rubber.
Now If you hold n watch near the
glass tube from which the stream is

railing on the rubber will keep time
with the ticking of the watch and so
magnify it. The effect will be very
much Increased if a paper or tin fun

And sweet is the song that the angels sung
