AGED SOAP BUBBLES.
Dewar Makes Monster Once and Then
Keeps Them For Months.

DoWar Makes Monster Onee and Then
Keeps Them For Months.
The transient existence OF the soap
bubble is proverbial but Professor ].
Dewar in a discourse recently deliv-
cred at the Royal institution in Lon
don, explained how soap bubbles
could be made to last for months and
exhibited several specimens. The first
requisite is that the air used in blowing
the bubble shall be free from dust.
In Professor Dewar's process the air
is filtered through cotton wool, and the
bubbles are blown by opening stop
cock in the air supply tube. For the
soap solution he prefers the purest
oleic acid Tested by the iodine num-
ber) and ammonium soap mot potas-
sium or sodium.
To make a bubble durable the sac Of
liquid must be removed from its bot
tom by suction through tubes applied
from outside. The lecturer showed bub-
bles that had endured for months and
that were more than half yard In
diameter, blown in glass vessels con-
tanning pure air at atmospheric pres
sure.
A little water is kept at the bottom
Of the vessel A uniform temperature
of about so degrees F. is favorable to
longevity. Some Of Professor Dewar'B
smaller bubbles were nearly a year old.

COURSE OF A RIFLE BALL.
Just What Happens From the instant
the Gun Is Fired.

JUST WHaN Happens FROM hHe iHSee"N
the Gun Is Fired.
Two sportsmen were disputing. One
claimed that If a rife is sighted on
dead level the ball commences to fall
the instant 1t leaves the barrel The
second man claimed that the ball first
rises above the level of the barrel and
then falls. They didn't settle the ques-
tion, but here is the answer:
Gravity acts upon a moving and un-
supported body instantly. be the body
large or small. In a rifle the line OF
sight (that is, the line of aim is one
thing; the line of the bore is another,
In order that gravity will not cause
bullet to drop too soon a rifle is always
made so that the line of the bore points
slightly upward as compared with the
line OF sight. The result is that, while
the bullet begins TO drop away from
the direct line Of the bore the moment
it leaves the piece, it rises at first
above the line of sight and then slowly
drops below it.
Rifles are usually made so that they
will strike the object aimed at at a GER
tain distance-say 200 yards from the
hunter. That is to say, they carry
point blank" at 200 yards. If the OBJ
ject is farther away more front sight
must be given. Under any and all cir
cumstances, however, the bullet drops
away from the line of the bore, owing
to the gravity, the moment the gun is
