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

Even q solid rod Of iron may be

enough. Take a fine needle, wipe it
with an oily rag, but do not leave any
visible trace of oil on it. and then
lay it gently on the surface of water

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 1t up. Moreover, as
the cohesion between the particles OF

has no attraction for a perfectly dry
