In addition to the fact that ice is light
er than water, there is another curious thing
about it which mauy persons do not perhaps
know, viz its purity. A lump OF ice mel
ted will become pure distilled water. Water
in freezing turns ont of it all that is no:
water--sslt, air, coloring matter and all I'M
water ice. IF you ireez1 a. bss.n OF indigo
water, it will make ice as clear aud white Gs
that made of pnre rain water. When tie
cold is very sudden, these foreign matters
have 10 time TO escape, either hy rising or
sinking, and are thus eutangled with the
ice. but do not make any part oi it.

invention, consists of a hopper vita 2
