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.
