[GOOD COMPANY.]
"I'll Try!" is a soldier,
"I Will!" is a King;
Be sure they are near
When the school-bells ring.
When school-days are over,
And boys are men,
"I'll Try" and "I Will"
Are good friends then.

Fig. 1.
The experiment shown in Fig. 1 requires no other apparatus than a decanter and a strong piece of straw. The straw is bent before being passed into the bottle of water, so that when it is lifted the centre of gravity is displaced, and brought directly under the point of suspension. The illustration shows the method of lifting the decanter of water by the straw very plainly. It is well to have at hand several pieces of straw, perfectly intact, and free from cracks, in case the experiment does not succeed with the first attempt.
