WATER FROM THE FLAME OF A CANDLE.

Hold a cold and dry bell-glass over a lighted candle, and watery

vapour will be directly condensed on the cold surface; then close the

mouth of the glass with a card or plate, and turn the mouth uppermost;

remove the card, quickly pour in a little lime-water, a perfectly clear

liquid, and it will instantly become turbid and milky, upon meeting

with the contents of the glass, just as lime-water changes when dropped

into a glass of water.
