SOAP BUBBLES LAST 4 YEAR.
Scientist Who made Them Hopes TO Get
sefuI Idea

Kansas City Journal: When scientists
run out of their ordinary occupations
they look around for something new 10
do. One of the very newest oddities
worked out by scientific experimentation
is the blowing Of soap bubble that will
last whole year before breaking APP
parently that is achieving the height of
useless effort, but Professor ]. Dewar of
London expects to prove a good many
things by this curious method. In a re-
cent address before the Royal Institution
he exhibited "A number Of small soap
bubbles that were twelve months old
He also showed bubbles more than half
a yard in diameter which had grown up
To the hoary age Of six months. These
bubbles were contained in glass contain
ers that had been pumped free OF air
thus creating a vacuum for the bubbles
To rest in.
Professor Dewar said that il was nee
essary to obtain air free Of dust to make
a soap bubble that would endure for
more than a few seconds. To do this he
developed several appliances that take
all the dust out Of a limited air space.
and it was by the use Of this air that
his marvellous soap bubbles were blown.
But further effort was necessary to pre-
serve these bubbles. II was found that
the few drops Of water which always
gather at the bottom Of a bubble were
fatal to their attaining a respectable age.
SO the profestor applied little tubes TO
the bottom Of the bubbles. much like "A
soda water straw and drew the water
of. As a task for patience this is rec.
commended to the impatient.
The remarkable soap bubbles OF this
educator are preserved I'm glass vessels
having a little water i'm the bottom. The
OF these vessels is maintain
ed at about so degrees Fahrenheit. Sew
eral years were taken up by Professor
Dewar i'm finding out all about the soap
bubble, and he is now working on a plan

changes.

In recent years the water supply geol-
