Making a Needle "swim."

Even solid rod Of iron may be
made to float. provided 1t is small
enough. Take fine needle. wipe it
with an oily rag, but do not leave any
visible trace of oil ON Il. and then lay
1t gently on the surface Of water in a
basin. 1t will float and continue to
float for some little time. The cause
Of this is the fact that quantity of
air adheres to the needle sufficient to
buoy it up Moreover. as the rohe
sion between the particles of water is
considerable and as water has no at.
traction for perfectly dry piece of
steel. the cohesion of the water is
greater than the weight of the metal.
and SO the latter is supported
In the same way insects are enabled
10 walk upon the water The hairs on
the end of their feet inclose an amount
of air that enables them to float. As
each foo; Is put down 1t forms a sort
of cuplike depression in tho water. and
the. liquid thus displaced IS sufficient To
float the insect Harper's Weekly.

THE LOVE THAT LIVES IN
DEATH.

Among the hundreds of incidents
relative to the sinking of the Ii
tanic, says the New Orleans States,
there is one that stands out clearly
and above them all because it IS a
beautiful illustration of the self
sacrificing love Of a wife. Mrs, Is
adar Straus was given her chance,
with other women, to take her place
in a lifeboat, but because her hus-
band could not go with her she
yielded her place TO another. She
preferred death with to separation
from the man she loved, the deVot-
ed partner of the joys and vicissi-
tudes of the fifty years of married
life.
In the presence of icy death came
the test of the gold Of her wifely
love, and there was no dross. 1t
proved true, noble and good. With
her arms around her husband the
sacrificing spirit of the real wife
showed itself, and so she passed into
eternity with her loved one. Mrs.
Straus did not make what is called
a scene when she deliberately let
life pass her by, but calmly wei
coined death with the companion
whose devotion was the greatest of
all her treasures.
There is no word of reproaeh to
be uttered for other wives who ac-
cepted the opportunity that was
presented to escape a terrible death,
and who were urged by their hus-
bands to save themselves, because it
required courage to bear the tor
ture of an everlasting separation
from those so dear to them. But ii
is nevertheless heartening to read
this story of a wife who scorned
any escape or any refuge which did
not include her husband in its bene-
faction. She could meet death with
out tremor, but she could not de
sert the companion of her joys and
sorrows and leave him to die.
In this deed Of Mrs. Straus blazes
The glory of true wifehoed She was
happy to walk with her husband
anywhere, even in THE valley of the
shadow for death had no sting, SO
long as she was by the side of the
man she loved.

DR.. Bowen shipped another car
of melons to Silver City last week
and got fair prices for them, late as
it is. The doctor has shipped near
ly two cars of melons off his 3-acre
patch and has made good with them,
even though prices were low.
Some refused to ship on account
of the low prices, but the amount
of melons that grow on an acre here
makes it better to ship them than
to let them waste.
Tomatoes are ripening fast now
and although the acreage is small
and the supply only sufficient to run
the new factory about one fourth
of the time, there has already been
enough done to show that business
will be a winner from the very
start. The plant when the machin-
cry has already been installed and a
full force to run it, will have a cap
acity of from to 10000 cans per
day. Next year the farmers seeing
the thing is success will plant
with the object of supplying the fac
tory enough to run through the
season, and any one seeing the crops
grown here this season and take a
squint at the soil will have no doubt
as to the amount that can be raised,
so it is up to the farmers for next
year. f. J. B.
