Wine and Water Separation. Berlin: Conradi, ca. 1915. Two nickeled canisters, a claw-footed metal stand, and a glass decanter make up the props. Wine and water are poured into the decanter from separate glasses, which are then covered with the tubes. The liquid now vanishes from the decanter, only to reappear in the two glasses, separated, just as it was at the outset. Tubes 8 ?? high. Very good.
