Odd fadeOut behavior using delay, each

Odd fadeOut behavior using delay, each

 I got .each to work with the fine new .delay function, and it fades things in as I expect. The following fades thirteen paragraphs in, going down the page. But when I add fadeOut to the queue, all the paragraphs jump up to the top and fade out, instead of staying in place. Any ideas?

  
    
   
  1.   jQuery(function(){ 
    2. 
   
  2.  jQuery('p').hide();
    3. 
   
  3.  jQuery('p').each(function(i){
    4. 
   
  4.    jQuery(this).delay(i*1000).fadeIn('slow');
    5. 
   
  5.    }
    6. 
   
  6.   );
    7. 
   
  7.   });
    8.


That works, but if I change the delay line to
     
    
      
  1.  jQuery(this).delay(i*1000).fadeIn('slow').fadeOut('slow'); 
    2.

the column of paragraphs disappears and I see them all appear and fade out, one by one, at the top of the page, as one line.
