About this book
Soap-Bubbles and the Forces Which Mould Them is a course of three lectures delivered before a juvenile audience by C. V. Boys. A speaker holds a brush in front of the lantern so that it can be seen enlarged upon the screen, and on taking it out of the water the hairs, as expected, cling together. The text says the hairs of a brush cling together not only because they are wet, but for some other reason as well which we do not yet know.
The text says it makes no difference whether your eyes are open or not when you dive in, since you can open them and see just as well either way. The text says there can be no doubt that the drops of rain in a thunder-storm are so large for the reason given, and that the experiment and its explanation are due to Lord Rayleigh. A note on the apparatus says the pipe must in every case be made to enter the highest point of a bubble in order to start an internal one.
