Show EGG EXPERIMENT IS UNIQUE Interesting Little Test Shows Why It Is so Easy to Swim In Salt Water Let us take two small pickle bottles A and B g and one C twice as large A Is to be filled with clear water If now we try to float a fresh tresh egg In Inthe Inthe inthe the latter we shall assuredly fail tall the egg will Immediately sink to the bottom bottom bot bot- tom because the density of water is considerably less than that of at the egg says Magical Experiments Next place the egg In B which h is full of at concentrated brine and try to make the egg sink It Is Just as Impossible as to cause it to float In water It is thus clear that strong salt saIt water is denser than the egg and from this simple experiment we may guess why it ft Is so much easier to swim in salt than fresh tresh water since the greater density of at the former permits us the themore themore themore more easily to float Now let us combine these two experiments ex ex- experiments and pour into C the greater part of both these fluids water and strong brine which will of ot course commingle By a few tew trials pouring In a little more of one or the other we shall shan obtain a liquid whose specific gravity is Identical with that of at our egg and now the latter having no reason to go to the bottom and finding find find- finding ing no particular excuse to get to the theL L r f t f I An Egg Experiment top will rest as the illustration shows In hi the middle of ot the Jar of of salt saIt water but It will move toward the surface If It you add a little more brine or toward the bottom If II you replenish the jar with water |
