1t is popuiarly supposed taat water freezes

single sheets of ice are seldom found of
greater thickness than five feet. Sometimes
one sheet is piled upon another and frozen to-

thus joined. forming compound sheet of
great thickness. Inexperienced persons have
mistaken these compound sheets for single
ones. and thus got the notion that in the Arc

thickness.
