RATS OF GnAT EGGS.
Their Floating illustrates a Curious
Froparty Of Water.

A
Many simple experiments show that
the surface OF water possesses prop
erty which causes 1t to resist the pas
sage OF bodies either from above or be-
low. This is true not only IT soapy
water. but of the ~cleanest and purest
water as well. a sheet OF fine gauze
Eends to float because, its weight be-
ing widely distributed, each of the nu-
merous separate wires is resisted by
rhe surfaca flm SO that ihe water cam
not readily pass through the meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact
in many interesting ways. Some
water plants whose leaves hoat on
the water have a very simple con-
~trivancc to keep the upper surfaces Of
the leaves dry. This consists Of a
great number Of minute hairs covering
the tops OF the leaves. Water cannot
nenaIrase among asss hairs even
when the Eeavea are forced down be
meath the surface.

DEAD IN CANAL
WITHCASH GONE
Find Body Of Man Missing
Since Gel Is.

BeiIeville, n. j.. Nov i3.-The mys
terry of the disappearance last Oct. 20
Of Isaac s. Douglass, seventy-six, was
cleared up Saturday night when his
body was identified at Kuntz's, morgue
after 1t was fshed out of the Morris
canal in the Silver Lake section Of
Belleville. The police believe he was
murdered.
Douglass had lived for several years
at the home of August Siegel, Newark.
Since the death of his wife, about ten
years ago, he had been feeble minded,
In July last Douglass drew out of a
Newark bank more than $500 and also
drew a part of a larger deposit from
another bank. The body was found
by Oliver Oswald and Eugene O'Hara.
O'Hara and Oswald at first thought
that the object in the water was q
football and pulled it to shore.
When the body was drawn from the
canal blood flowed from a wound at
the base Of the skull. This wound
and the fact that Douglass drew large
sums of money from banks just before
he dropped from sight have led the
authorities to believe that the nan
may have been murdered.
The body was identified at Kuntz's
morgue, Orange, by William II. Smith
and by a receipt for fire insurance
found in his pocket. Since the death
Of his wife, eleven years ago, Douglass
had lived with the family of August
SiegeI. Before his disappearance his
loss OF memory was marked.
Although he had withdrawn his $500
deposit from a local bank, two pocket
books IN the body contained only 25
cents. His watch chain was intact,
but the watch was missing.
Douglass was seyenty-six years old
and was we'll educated. He IS survived
by two %nicces, Mrs. Charles L. Schmidt
Of Newark and Mrs. Carrie Sharp oil
Iryington.
