A pretty experiments has been described by the well-known Belgian physicist, M. Plateau. He bends fine iron wire, so as to present the contour of a flower of six petals. The central ring to which tiie petals are attached is supported on a forking sh which is stuck in a piece of wood. After oxidizing the wire slightly with weak nitric acid the flower Is dipped in glyceric liquid so as to r” ceive films in the petals and the centi part. It is then turned up, placed on table near a window and covered with bell jar. JFor a little at first it appears colorlei but soon a striking play of colors ooi menoes. In the experiment, M. Plate, describes, the flower continued showii modifications of color for ten hours, when dusk stopped observation. Next morning several petals had burst. The liquid used was of very mediocre quality. M. Plateau recommends preparation of the liquid thus : Dissolve a fresh pieoe of Marseilles soap, cut up into small S'eces, in forty purls by won V of ho* stilled water. F t i mix thoroughly t;.i ot t'uu solution with two of Pr. s ycerine. The solution should be left a; rest till all the air bubbles are gone. London Time*.
