在硝酸中溶解少量银和水银，再扔一小块金属混合物，不久，蛛网一样的闪亮的“戴安娜之树”就会在玻璃上形成。

Dissolve a pinch of silver and mercury in a solution of nitric acid, drop in a lump of metal amalgam, and soon a spidery, glittering "Tree of Diana" will form on the glass.

用塑料瓶或者双拉链的袋子来存放水银（不要用玻璃容器，因为很容易打破）。

Use a plastic jar or double-bagged ziplock baggie, to deposit the mercury into (avoid using glass because it can easily break).

因为玻璃水银温度计对于人类和环境都有害处，现在已经逐步被淘汰不再建议使用了。

Because glass mercury thermometers harm both humans and the environment, they have been phased out and are no longer recommended.
