Soap Bubbles Kept

ALWAYS MYSTERY TO SCIENCE
When Bubble Becomes Very Old It

prodigious strength of soap bubbles,

The sonp bubble Is a simple thing,
yet It hns always been more or less
n mystery to scientists. They consider
It perhaps the bestt phenomenon exist
ing -for the study of the habits and
Idiosyncrasies of the molecule.
Scientists now claim. on tho
strength of the experiment made by
Sir James Dewar, that when a soap
bubble becomes very old, say In three
or four days, It offers the only pos
sible example of the molecule visible
to the linked eye. Most parts of the
bubble are estimated to consist of
about one hundred layers of molecules.
But by various methods of treatment
the bubble is Induced to perform
"stunts" until In black spots which
appear It represents only n single' lay
er of molecules.
Remarkable Strength.
This layer Is so thin thnt Sir James
estimates It would take one nnd one
third million like It, superimposed, to
fttinke an Inch. Yet, when the soap bub
ble Is permitted to mature In air that
has been freed of Its nntural enemies.
It Is so strong that It will support
drops of water many times Its own
weight before breaking. Sometimes a
bubble Is torn from Its supporting ring
by the weight before the molecules re
lease their bulldog grip.
Old Letter Settles Case.
Wilmington, Del. An age-worn, tat
tered letter nnd three words In the
codicil of Jesse Chnndler settled n
long-pending case In the court of
chancery recently when Chancellor
Curtis Issued an order thnt Samuel M.
Harvey of West Chester, Pa., be paid
$14,500 from tho estate. Harvey's wife,
one of the .'IS legatees he was suing,
lost the suit, but will have a half shnre
In the money awarded. Harvey lmd
agreed with Jesse Chandler to buy 1G0
acres of farmland In Christiana Hun
dred for .$20,000. When Chandler died
before the deal was completed he stip
ulated In his will that tho farm should
he sold for thnt amount to Harvey.
Meanwhile the farm hod been sold for
$!M,f00, and while the legatees contend
ed that the entire amount should he
divided, Harvey claimed that only $20,

should be divided. Tho court upheld
his contention.

number of reports received, however,
was not large. Many of the persons
who had formerly taken part In the
niinual bird counts were unable to
find time for the work required by the

"Many species of migratory birds,"
reports the chief of the bureau of bio
logical survey, "have had a marked In

(Prepared by the United States Depart

Among the special features of the
recent federal aid road record as kept
by the United States department of
agriculture nre three rond projects to
cost over $1,000,000, one of them over
$2,000,000. Pennsylvania had first

federal aid allowances, nnd the esti

greatest milenge. Seventeen projects
In Pennsylvania npproved will cost
$4,007,028.41 for which the federal nld
Is $1,008,907.10. Ohio with 12 projects
came next to Pennsylvania In tlio
number npproved and In the estimat
ed cost of the roads to be Improved,
and third In the amount of federal
aid.

the size of a single project handled
In July. It Is estimated to cost $1,

aid is allowed.
In the record of approvals for the
month of August Arkansas occupies
first place In the estimated cost and
mileage of projects and In respect to
tho largest project. Minnesota Is first
in tho total number of projects ap
proved, nnmely 11, and second In the
amount of federal aid allowances.
Pennsylvania received the largest
amount of federal aid and her six
npproved projects come second in tho
estimated cost of the ronds.
On a Massachusetts project, a short
concrete road, the estimated cost Is
at the rate of $127,804 a mile. This
Is the highest average cost per mile
so far shown In nny federal aid roail.
A bituminous brick or concrete road
in Ohio will average $67,716 n mile
and 7.14 miles of concrete or brick Id
Pennsylvania will average $64,015,

will average $50,443 per mile.
