LIQUID PORES.

An Entertaining Experiment With Al
eoheI and Water.
It is not easy to imagine liquids as
having pores, though this seems to be
the case as shown by certain familiar
experiments. When a certain amount
Of powdered sugar is slowly poured
into warm water, the water VIII dis

It without increasing its volume. Sim
ilarly. when alcohol "a poured into wa
ter the resulting volume Is less than
the sum Of the two volumes.
For instance. II Fifty parts Of water
and ffty parts OF alcohol be mixed to-
gether they wiz make only ninety-four
parts. Apparently one Of the liquids
has entered into the pores" OF the
other. This experiment. as commonly
performed in laboratories, consists In
putting measured quantities of the two
liquids together. but the effect would
be far more striking were it possible
for students to see one OF the liquids
actually soaking" into the other. This
can be done I'm the following way:
Take two glasses, one filed to the
brim with water and the other with
alcohol In order TO show the effect
TO better advantage. color the alcohol
with red ink The glasses should not
be over full-that is. the surface Of the
liquid should not bulge above the rim
OF the glass When everything is
ready. place a sheet Of paper over the
glass full Of alcohol. and with a hand
on TIC paper 10 keep it down on the
rim OF the. glass inYert the .tnmhler.
