Set in sunlight. Note amount and quality of gas collect- ing in the tubes in the two in- stances. Care must be taken that the same amount of material is placed in the two test tubes (Fig. 60). Double-walled bell jars may be obtained, which facihtate the per- formance of this demonstration. A box with blackened inner sur- faces, and the open ends suitable for holding sheets of ruby, yellow, and blue glass, may also be used to expose plants to a portion of the spectrum (Fig. 63). 95. Relations of plants and animals to the atmos- phere.—Enclose two or three living mice in a small wire cage, and place on a ground-glass plate of the proper size to receive a bell jar. Invert a large bell jar, and fill it loosely with fresh, leafy shoots, or set a plant with many leaves beside the cage. Place the bell jar over the cage, and seal to the plate with vaseline. The cage should be in such position that the animals may be easily observed through the glass. Place the whole preparation in a dark room, or cover completely with a photographer's focussing cloth, to exclude the light. Note the condition of the mice at the end of a period of half an.
