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

Even q solid rod Of iron Eaay be
made to float provided it is small
enough. Take a fine needle, wipe It
with an oily rag, but do not leave any
visible trace OF oil on 1t, and then
lay It gently on the surface of water
In a basin. It win fioat 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 1t up. Moreover, as
the cohesion between the particles Of
water is considerable, and as water
has no attraction for perfectly dry,
piece Of steel, the cohesion Of the wa.
ter is greater than the weight Of
metal, and 50 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 hoat. 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
