II the drops are on a perfectly level

What actually happens is that the
bottom of the drop changes at once to

hot surface. and this vapor is supplied
bt the drop as 1t gradually goes away.
So the drop rests on a cushion Of va

state Of water Is known as the spheroi-

account of its popularity aud seeming

The reason why the drop Is not i'm

steam Is also very interesting. The
water vapor that intervenes between
its under surface and the redhot stove
is very bad conductor of heat. and
consequently the full intensity Of the
