CAPILLARITY.

Liquids Have a Surface Film Which ActB
Like a Stretched Membrane.
When a number of clean glass tubes
of very.fine bore, each open at both
ends, are immersed in water or in any
other liquid capable of wetting them,
the >water rises in each to a higher
level than that at which it stands outside, and the finer the bore the greater is the height of the water. Moreover, the surface of the water is always concave outwards. When similar tubes are immersed in mercury,
the results are just the opposite of the
above. The mercury now stands at a
lower level inside than outside each
tube, and the mercury surface is always concave downwards. In both
cases the curvature of the surface of
the.fluid is greater the finer bore of
the tube. These axe the fundamental
facts which constitute the phenomena
of capillary action, the tubes, with
their fine hair-like bores, being called
"capillary" tuueS„ from the Latin "ca-
pillus," a hair. In order to understand
the cause of these phenomena it is
necessary to refer to what is known
as the surface-tension of fluids. The
particles of a body of moderate dimensions are kept together by powerful
molecular forces which have one main
characteristic, that they are only sen-*
sible at insensible distances. From
this it is evident that there must be
an essential difference in state between parts of a liquid, close to its
surface and others in the interior of
its mass. _ The result of this difference
is that every liquid may he regarded
as hounded by a surface film which
behaves like a stretched membrane.
The tension of this film is what is
termed the surface tension of the fluid,
and its effect invariably is to make"
the pressure on the concave side exceed that on the convex side. In the
case of the capillary phenomena, the
water surface is concave outwards,
and therefore the wafer immediately
under the surface film has less pressure than that of the atmosphere to"
which its concave side is expos«fl; and
thuSj by the ordinary hydrostatic law
j it belongs to -a h^ghei^ieVel than, the
j undisturbed water,' the pressure .on
which is equal to that of the atmos-
I phere. In the case of mercury, on. the
other hand,^ since the fluid, surface is'
, convex outwards, the mercury imme-
' diately under the surface-fllm must
have had a greater pressure than that
Qf- the, atmosphere, and must" therefore -stand at a lower level than the
undisturbed mercury.
The Greatest in the World,
Every state has increased in population, and the only city which has apparently lost is the one which padded
its returns ten years ago and now suffered for its folly.
The United States now has a larger
population than any European country
except Russia; and the average of our
wealth and productive"capacity carries
us far beyond that kingdom in real
greatness. Germany, among European
countries, comes next to the United
States, but it can show only a population of 52,279,901, or about two-thirds
of our total. In area, the United States,
with its new possessions, is about as
large as all Europe. In wealth it is"
the richest nation the world has ever
known.—From the Saturday Evening
Post.
TU« T»iel of Clibin.
'"lie "tael," which is, strictly speak,
ing, a weight and not a coin, differs
in various cities and provinces of
Ohina, the weight of silver recognized
as a "tael" being greater at some
points than at others.. By "common
consent, rather than from its intrinsic value, the Haikwan "tael" is taken,
as the standard, and while it varies in
value at different times, it is quoted
in a recent consular report at 72 cents
