Curious THINGS TO KNow.-Besides
the fact that ice is lighter than water,
there is another curious thing about it
which persons do not know, perhaps
namely, its purity. A lump of ice melt
ed will always become purely distilled
water. When the early navigators of
the Arctic seas got out of the water they
melted fragments of those vast noun
tains of icebergs, and were astonished
to find that they yielded only fresh
water. They thought that they were
frozen salt water, not knowing that they
were formed on the land, and in some
way launched into the sea. But if they
had been right the result would have
been all the same. The fact is, the
water in freezing turns out of it all that
is not water; salt, air, coloring matter,
and all impurities. Frozen sea water
makes fresh water ice. Ifyou freeze a
basin of indigo water, it will make it as
pure as that made of pure rain water.
When the cold is very sudden these for
eign matters have no time to escape,
either by rising or sinking, and are
thus entangled with the ice, but do not
form any part of it.
