Bubbles" and Science,

Until Lord Rayleigh supplied the
missing explanation scientific men had
never been able to explain how it is
that soap bubble can exist. 1t is
only with very few liquids that soap
bubbles can be blown. The reason is
that some cannot lather even 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 infinitesimal thickness can
exist in a still moist atmosphere for
hours and even days." This was all
exhaustively 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
clear or lesser Scummed surface, and
such a scum, no matter how thin it
may be, has the tendency to slide down
if its liquid support or foundation dis
plays any inclination to the horizon,
Furthermore, lathering liquid has
complex and reslstible 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
very slow process"

This. We are told. would solve the
question which confronted us at the time
we were negotiating with Spain about
peace. The archipelago could not at that
time stand alone. SPANS authority could
not be re-established. and unless we took
over the territory II would become bone
of contention among the powers, and in
the end be COB bled up by the strongest.
But could the archipelago stand alone
today? Should We not be required TO
give the powers a positive guarantee on
that point in exchange for their. gusran-
tee OF neutrality? Many foreigners have
large interests in the country, and it's de-
velopment under any circumstances de-
