HOW INSECTS WALK ON WATER
Hairs on Their Feet IncIose Enough
Air to Enable Them to
... Float.

Even a solid rod of iron may be
made to float provided it is small
enough. Take fine needle, wipe 1t
with an oily rag, but do not leave any
visible trace OF oil. on it, and then
lay 1t gently on the surface of water
in basin. 1t will float and continue
to float for some little time.
The cause of this is the fact that
a quantity Of air adheres to the needle
sufficient to buoy it up. Moreover, as
the cohesion between the particles Of
water is considerable, and as water
tas no attraction for a perfectly dry
piece Of steel, the cohesion of the wa
ter is greater than the weight OF
metal, and so the latter is supported.
In the same way insects are en-
abled to walk upon the water The
hairs on the end of their feet inclose
an amount OF air that enables them
to float. AS each foot is put down 1t
forms sort of cup-like depression in
the water, and the liquid thus dis.
placed Is sufficient to float the insect

ming. Phosphate in this general
region, according to a report of
the United States Geological Sur
vey, was first discovered in north
eastern Utah and southeastern
Idaho in the vicinity of the Idaho
Utah Wyoming state lines. From
this locality the deposits have been
traced north, southeast ana west
halfway across the states OF Idaho,
Utah and Wyoming, and Snorth-
ward to the vicinity of Helena, in
west-central Montana, until now
the phosphate beds are known over
an ara extending approximately
220 miles in an east-west direction

of course. is underlain by phosphat
deposits that are commercially
valuable. In many places the
phosphate beds. although present,
occur at surh great depths below
the surface that they will probah bly,
never be mined and in other parts
of this completely folded area phos-
pbate beds have been entirely re-
moved by erosion. However. the
tonnage of bigh-grade phosphate
rock in this region is enormous,
the estimates running up into the
billions of tons. s.,
The rock phosphate itself can
usually be recognized in the field
by its oolitic texture that is, by
the fact that it is mass of grain
like small shot cemented together.
The rock varies in color from
coal black--in some places it was
originally mistaken. for coal to
dull gray or iron stained. Most Of
the phosphate rock emits, when
broken or struck, a fetid odor,
which is supposed to be char tcter-
istic of these minerals. Its float"
is enthusiastically marked with a
thin film of bluish-white bonelike
coating, resembling chalcedony.
This coating is useful, in tracing
the concealed outcrop in the field
by means of scattered fragments to
be found in the everything soil.
