THE SELF-SMOKING PIPE.

An Intereatlnar Ipxperlmen t Tbat Is Easily Performed. After filling a decanter about twothirds full of water close It by means of a cork provided with two apertureß. Through one of these, pass a short pipe stem, affix a cork provided with two apertures. The apertures may be easily formed by means of a red-hot

poker. The later aperture serves to fix the pipe. Flnally. wlth the other cork and a bent tube, form a siphon. After the latter has been primed and is once in operation it will tend to empty the decanter, and the vacuum formed will be Immediately filled by the external air flowing in through the pipe. It is then only necessary to light the latter in order to Bee it “smoke Itself” tranquilly as long as any water remains in the decanter. This experiment is very interesting and may easily be performed.—Scientific American.
