then, holding the fork at an angle of 40
degrees, place II very gently upon the wa
ter, Watching your opportunity to remove
the support.
This may require little practice, but
you will soon be able to succeed, when you
will see the water assume convex form
on each side of the pin, and as soon as the
pin has replaced enough of the water to
counterbalance its weight, it will float
like little boat.
This experiment may nc made with a
needle, as we'll as a pin, 1t being necessary
only to place 1t upon the water so carefully
that the water cannot wet it. That may
sound like an inconsistency, but it is pos
sible, nevertheless, to so lay the pin or
the needle upon the water that 1t shall not
be made wet.
If you find the experiment with the fork
only partially successful, try this simpler
methods Lay a sheet of cigarette paper
evenly upon the water, and upon the paper
place needle or a pin. AS soon as the
paper gets wet through it will sink below
the surface, leaving the needle or the pin
floating. BY using great care you might
perhaps succeed after awhile in floating a
dime or a gold dollar in the same way.

Holding the Pen.

An odd way of holding pen or pencil is
TO place 1t between the third and fourth
fingers It may seem awkward to you at
first, but you will find it much easier than
you think, If you have never tried It, Some
oopyists never hold pen In any other
manner. They declare that it is a sure
means of avoiding writer's cramp That
is caused most often by holding the pen
too tightly or resting the hand in an awk-
ward position. Those who do not grasp
the penholder so as TO cause oramp may,
nevertheless, suffer If they use thin hold
er OF pencil. For easy writing there ID
nothing better than thick handled pen. -
