The Little Folks Column.
How n Fly Walks On the
Ceiling.

I have no doubt that when you
have been at the seaside las some
of you have BEEN you have often
noticed the limpets which stuck so
hard against the rocks. There
they stick, however hard the waves
may beat against them, and they
stick hard, too-harder than the
strongest cement could eyentf&sten
them. = Have you ever tried to pal
one of these limpets from its stick
Ing place.? If you have not, can
assure you that you or. l might
pull and pub away without moving
TIA quarter of an inch The same
bower, that enables the hmpet to
hold on'so firmly t. the rock ed
ables the. As, by means 5of those
little hairs Of legs, to trot abont
upside down; for in principle the
swelled-out ends Of the hairs act Ia
precisely the same manner as the
body of the hmpet.
With a little trouble we can
make out of simple materials, a
very good imitation of one of these
hairs, sufficiently large to see how
they act. First we must get a bit
of the kind of leather that is used
for the soles of boots new is the
best. 1t must be about the size
of a silver dollar, and also of the
same shape. We must then fasten
to it about yard of string, by
means of a hole picked in the mid
die of the leather with the point of
an awl or some round instrument,
through which the string should
be passed and knot tied close to
to the end to prevent it from COM
ing away. This knot should be so
hammered against the hole in the
leather that no air can get through
the opening, or our experiment
will fail. Now, with this simple
icontrivance, If We have made it
properly, we shall be able to lift
stones of several pounds weight
But before we try to do So we
must take care that the leather Oh
the end of the string has first been
soaked some hours to make IL soft
and pllable. We will now take
hold OF the free end of the string
and drop she. leather upon the
stone we wish to raise, having Il
care to select a smooth stone or
one with a smooth spot Gu 1t. On
gently pulling the string We shall
find rhat tfre- leather mas taken
SUCH a 6fm sucking foid upon The
stone tiiat We csn carry y from
place to place; and we sfinA siso
find that 1t requires some force Ia
separate them
The reason why the leatbern
rsacker,' asAhe, boys cah 1t, scts
IN this way, is because when we
pub tue string We raise up The
center of the leather and MAKE a
little tent-shaped hollow space re-
tween the sucker aud the stone.
the air cannot get INTO the iiile
chamber thus formed, for The s,a'
wet leather fits close TO the stope
all around 1T But the. air tries
with might and main to force its
way in. and it presses so closely
upon the sucker that it actually
sticks it firmly to the stone The
force that is exerted upon the
sucker is called atmospheric pres
sure" and is exactly the same pow
er which keeps the limpet on 'he
rock and. the fy's foot fixed ON the
ceiling.
