There are many ingenious and pleas i u ; i nks to be played with 6oap bubbles. Take a wire ring and hang a large soap bubble from it. This may sound hard but it is easy to do. r. ' careful to remove with your finger the drop of water which will hang at ii; bottom of the bubble and which will weaken it. Put your blowing tu5e through the bladder gently and blow a small bubble. It will fall to the bottom of the other and stay there without breakiug it You must be careful to blow the smaller bubble lighter than the larger. In order to do this shake out the water from your tube before blowing the smaller bubble. Here are some hints for getting a good mixture from which to blow bubbles: Dissolve about an ounce of tho strong est washing soap in a pint of distilled water, or, in the absence of that, raiu water. Cork it well and keep in a ool place. At the end of eight day? it will be in good condition for use. Only pour out as much at one time as vpu need for your experiments. Il may thus bo made to last for a very long time. New York Advertises THE C. LEGISLATUKK. What They are Doing in the Genera! Assembly.
