Why a Needle VIII
Float on Water
By Edgar Lucien Larkin.

n -"Erpl1in the philosophy of
u he surface tension of liquids
in connection tcith the flotdtio1s
of the needle"
A steel needle laid carefully
on a still water surface will float,
although the weight of steel or
iron is greater than that of an
equal volume of water
Molecules of liquids cohere, but
with a force far less than in SOL
ids or viscid substances. But the
thin needle of metal gently placed
horizontally on water has not
quite weight enough to break the
surface tension-that is, molecu-
lar attraction-of the water below
it,
Attraction of molecules is a
force that exerts great influence
in nature Thus this force draws
particles of water in fogs into
drops of water which are heavy
enough to fall as rain. Dew is a
formation of minute particles of
water into drops at rest on sur
faces.
The molecular attraction of the
heavy liquid-mercury-is in
tense, else this neavy liquid could
not be drawn by 1t into spheres
or drops Melted lead forms into
minute globes when let fall in
high shot towers.
There is a great difference in
the intensity of molecular attrac-
ton, as may be observed in all
cohol. gasoline, sulphuric ether
and similar limpid liquids, and oil.
syrup, glycerine and other viscous
liquids.
Soap bubbles could not be blown
in alcohol or benzine, but they
form readily in water. And the
molecules in the thin films really
attract with some force. else the
bubbles would burst before they
become so large. The most elab-
crate mathematics is required to
handle molecular forces, fit only
for technical journals

VERY now and then some
T. Ancient Mariner, or An
clent Mariness. rises up
and ascends to the Wailing Place,
and beats upon his or her breast,
and cries out that there is no
more gallantry among men, and
that chivalry is dead.
These prophets of woe base
their melancholy prognostica-
tions upon the fact that men are
not as glib at paying women
fiowery compliments as they used
to be, nor SO supple about jump
ing to pick up a handkerchief
when a lady drops it, and that
when a tired man gets a seat in a
street car he's mighty apt to let
husky, able-bodied woman stand.
Therefore, the people who OBJ
serve these small fry phenomena
affirm that chivalry is dead. and
If they happen to be anti-suf-
fragists they go a step farther
and assert that they know who
killed Cock - Robin. 1t was the
women themselves, and they did
it by going into business and
wanting rights.
1t always makes me mad,
through and through, to hear
anybody claim that chivalry is
dead. On the contrary, assert
that for the first time in the his
tory of humanity. chivalry has
been born into the world, and
that the modern, commonplace,
tweed-suited business man could
give Sir I.auncelot, and Sir Gal
ahad, and all the other rafting
tin-pan knights of the Table
Round points on a real chivalry
so big and fine that they never
ever dreamed OF it. much less
practiced II.
Talk about your chivalry Of
the past, when it wasn't safe for
a woman to put her foot outside
of her own door without some
body going along to protect her!
Talk about your chivalry of the
past, when women were nothing
but slaves of their men folks!
Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-28
Chivalry Is Not Dead, al
Many Would Have Us
Believe,

Talk about your chivalry Of the
past, when a father left all OF
his money to his sons, when a
husband didn't hesitate to strip
his wife of every cent she pos
sessed on her wedding day, and
when brothers thought it all
right to take everything and
leave the sisters nothing! Talk
about your chivalry of the past,
when women were denied an edu-
cation, and a right to exercise
the talents that nature had given
them, when they were prevented
from even going out into the
world and making an honest liv-
ing!
But the chivalry OF to-day
makes 1t safe for a woman to go
alone from one end of the world
to another because every man is
her protector. The chivalry of
to-day secures a woman's own
properly 10 Al6Is H6 CuiNhlly Va
to-day gives her a chance to fol-
low any occupation she desires,
and to make just as good in it as
a man could. The chivalry Of to-
day in some places-and 1t soon
will everywhere-even gives
women an equal right with men
in government.
And believe me, brethren and
sisters, picking up handker-
chiefs, and even street car seats,
are a mighty poor substitute for
property laws and the right to
make an honest living.
Another way, and very inter-
esting one, and a most important
one, in which the new chivalry of
men is expressing itself is the
masculine attitude toward wom
an and the marriage proposition.
In the old gallant days" which
so many people mourn, man
