me M.ntelpiece Bottle E.periment.

The Mante1pfece Bottle Experiment..
 You find yourself on a picnic perhaps
 without corkscrew and with lot of
 tottles, all of them with corks in them
 Hardly anybody knows what to do The solution, of the difficulty Is, how ever,i it seems, perfectly simple: "Place the bottle, cork downward, upon the edge of an ordinary mantelpfece, steadying it, of course, with the hand. Then with a slight impulse turn 1t so that it falls upon the ground on it's base. Pick it up, and you will find that the cork has started. It is sometimes necessary to repeat the operation be- fore the cork can be withdrawn with the fingers. A first experiment with full bottle of water tightly corked is advisable. 4 fall direct from that height will have no desirable result"
 The present writer can testify to the efficacy of this minor art" He had, it is true, to arrange his picnic in an ordinary room so as to have the man. telpiece handy. But there was no diff culty after turning the bottle on It's base, with a slight impulse, "F in ex- the cork from the ruins. There was no need to repeat the operation London Spectator. ~
