HOW SOME INSECTS WALK ON
WATER.
The insects most frequently seen
walking on water are the water-strid-
ers—narrow-bodied, long-legged true
bugs that go sliding about the surface
of ponds and small streams. In fact,
a little girl who was watching them
with me misunderstood me and im-
proved the name by calling them wa-
tersliders. When moving, they slide
on the front and hind legs, pushing
with the middle pair. Usually only
the middle and hind pairs of legs touch
the water when the insect is at rest,
but they dent the surface, as may be
seen by looking very closely. Indirect
evidence on this point may be had, if
the insects are on a shallow pool with
no vegetation and the sun be shining,
by watching the shadows on the bot-
tom. There may be a central shadow
cast by the insect’s body, but there are
sure to be shadows of the dents made
by the legs on the water. The shad-
ows of these dents are each surround-
ed by a bright ring, due to refraction
of the sun’s rays as they pass through
the curved surface.
Now try an experiment. Steel is
much heavier, in proportion to its
bulk, than an insect, and so would
sink more readily. Take a small nee-
dle oiled by rubbing it on your hair
At Famous St. Mihiel.
There is one point on the battle |
line of the western front in the world
war which will never be forgotton by |
the children of America. On the map |
that spot is called St. Mihiel and it
was there that the heroism and dash |
that point was never stopped until |
Germany signed the armistice.
St. Mihiel is to have a unique mem- :
orial which will connect the name of
the children of America with the same |
place where the American army won |
renown. The Junior Red Cross has
just made an appropriation of several | JACOB SHARER, Chairman
thousand francs to be used in cooper- |
ation with the French government in
establishing at St. Mihiel a model |
children’s hospital. The aiding of this
hospital fits in with the educational |
work of the Junior Red Cross abroad |
since its chief value will lie in the use |
to which it will be put, that of teach-
ing the proper hospital care of chil-
ren.

The surface of even the cleanest
water acts as though it were an elas-

Dry, not easily wet objects, pressing
down on this film will bend it quite a
bit before they break it. So it is with
our water-striders—or sliders. Their
feet, covered with a velvety pile that
is not easily wet, are placed flat on the
water, and the insects’ weight is so
little in proportion to the surface of

they do not break through.
