HOT WATER LIGHTER THAN COLD.

Pour into a glass tube, about ten inches long, and one inch in diameter, a little water coloured with pink or other dye; then fill it up gradually and carefully with colourless water, so as not to mix them: apply heat at the bottom of the tube, and the coloured water will ascend and be diffused throughout the whole.

The circulation of warm water may be very pleasingly shown, by heating water in a tube similar to the foregoing; the water having diffused in it some particles of amber, or other light substance not soluble in water.
