Interesting Experiments.

Fix a needle in each end of a broomstick, rest the needles on two glasses placed on chairs, with the needles alone in contact with the glasses. If you strike tho broomstick violently with another stick, tho former will be broken, but the glasses will remain intact. The impulse given by tho blow has not time to pass on through the particles in tho glass. The particles of tho broomstick separate before the movement can be transmitted to the glasses.
