across the state to Chicago, Toledo

advantage of this federal ruling, there
will be a considerable advance in

LIQUID PORES.
An Entertaining Experiment With Al

1t Is not easy to imagine liquids as
having pores, though this seems to be
the case rs shown by certain familiar
experiments When Il certain amount
Of powdered sugar is slowly poured
into warm water. the water will dis
solve ;hr ~lsar ana appear to absorb
it without increasing Its volume. Sim
iarly. whpa alcohol Is poured into wa
ter IL resulting yOiume is less than
the sum IF the two volumes.
For instance. if fifty parts Of water
and fifty parts o" alcohol be mixed to
gether they will make only ninety-four
parts Apparently one Of the liquids
has entered into the pores" Of tn
other This experiment. as commOnl!
performed III laboratories, consists IL
putting measured quantities of the Nv,
liquids together, but the effect would
be far more striking were it poSsiDi,
for students to see one Of the liquid
actually soaking" into the other. Thi
can be done In the following way:
Take two glasses. one filed to tht
brim with water and the other with
alcohol In order to show the effect
to better advantage. color the alcoho
with red ink. The glasses should not
be over full-that is. the Sun sace Of tn,
liquid should not bulge above the rim
OF the glass When everything Is
ready. place sheet Of paper over the
glass full OF alcohol. and with hahd
on tive paper 10 keep il down on the
rim of the glass invert the tumbler
and the LIQUID will remain in the glass
owing TO the air pressure on the paper
Now place the inverted tumbler over
the glass full Of water and carefully
draw out the paper This can be done
without spilling Il drop of alcohol, and
yet us soon as the paper Is removed
the alcohol will commence to drop.
Owing TO the fact that ii Is colored II
is possible to see the alcohol actually
soaking into the water. while tiny
air bubbles that were formerly contain
ed in the pores" OF the water rise
slowly to the top Of the tumbler. This
will continue for some little time until
considerable air space forms In the
