Streator W0nitOr: "Griggs' drug store
was the scene of curious experiment in
physics last evening. They had several
bottles of Waukesha water stored in the
basement. The temperature in the cellar
was low, but the water in the bottles was
not frozen. About supper time several
bottles were brought up stairs into the
warm store room. While the bottles were
within few feet of the stove the corks
were withdrawn and in about 10 seconds
the water had CONCEALED into a solid mass
of ice. The theory advanced to explain
the phenomenon Is that the tenn erature
of the water was below the freezing point
while in the cellar, but that the pressure Of
the gas prevented the water from CONCEAL
ing, and when the COrks were withdrawn
the process of freezing occurred almost in.
simultaneously"
