You will then see the needle start, and after an instant's quivering, settle In a position crossing the wires. Another experiment can be made by placing the wires In a glass of salt water. Looking very closely you will soon see bubbles forming at the tips of each and rising to the surface. This Is caused by a change in the water produced by the electric current. By taking your small battery into a room which is quite dark and brushing the two ends of the wires against each other you can see a tiny spark of electricity. To succeed in these experiments you should use not less than ten pennies. with the same number of disks of zinc and cloth.

Fasten them together, dip them in strong vinegar- for a few moments, wipe them and lay them on a plate. Next fasten to them two brass wires, one touching the zinc at the top, the other the copper at the bottom of the pile.
