If we drop Il lump Of sugar into 8
cup of tea we find it takes a consider
able time to melt if allowed to remain
at the bottom of the vessel, but If we
hold it up in the spoon near the sur
face Of the liquid it dissolves much
more rapidly This is owing to the
sugar as it melts rendering the portion
of the tea containing it heavier. The
sweetened part, therefore, descends,
leaving the sugar constantly in contact
with unsweetened or only partially
tSWeetened team fact, a continual
circulation of fluid is promoted until
the whole is dissolved. When the
sugar is placed or permitted to lie at
the bottom of the cup it dissolves until
the layer of fluid next it is thoroughly
sWeetened or saturated, when it prac-
tically ceases to dissolve any further
the sweetened and heavier stratum
above it acting for considerable time
until the law of diffusion comes gradu-
ally into play. like an impervious COW

form sweetening of tea. Life is not in
