Blowing Bubbles

1920

People who sing "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" and who lament the quickness with which "they fade and die" may be interested to know that a way has been discovered of making bubbles that will endure for months.

A Dr. Dewar made the discovery, according to the Boston Post. He succeeded in keeping one bubble intact for more than a year. It was blown from a mixture of 50 per cent glycerin, 5 per cent soap and the rest pure water.
