MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENT
Take a, piece of tin, the thinner the bettor, and cut it into the shape of a boat with -a pair of scissors. Now put on. the stern of the boat a piece of camphor in such a way as to rest on the boat and* just touch the water. The vapours of that bit “of camphor will in a mysterious way put the boat in motion, and steadily it will cruise about tor hours in a dish. To get the circular movement you must have a tiny rudder to the ship.
