ANCHOR ICE.
A Strange Formation Of Zee Crystals NJ the
Bolton, Of Harbors.

hWiNVftt W fNfUNF6
The "anchor ice" by which the steam.
er City Of Boston was imprisoned In the
Thames river at Norwich, is, one Of the
strangest Of wintry phenomena. IL goes
by various names West Of New Eng.
land II is known as "slush ice." and
abroad " Is called ground ice, /" "bottom
ice" and "loppered ice." IL Is not formed
upon the surface Of water, but collects
on the beds of streams. This is the most
remarkable thing about it Many theo
ries have been advanced to account for
it's formation. One scientist claimed
that II was the result of radiation of heat
from the river bed, and that It was de
posted on the same principle as dew
Another stoutly maintained that IL was
produced by little spicul@ of hoar frost
falling from the atmosphere into the
water.
The most acceptable hypothesis, how.
ever, is that the whole body of water In
which it is found is thoroughly chilled
by mechanical action of the currents
Of the stream, and that the anchor ice
then naturally forms ON the stones and
other rough bodies at the bottom. After
this general cooling of the water to a
temperature in the neighborhood of 30
degrees Fahr., the anchor ice will speed.
lily coat pole, for example, that is low
cred into the stream. The nucleus hav-
ing once been formed, the small masses
Of ice that cling by adhesion to the asper-
tiles of the river bed grow in size and at
length attain sufficient buoyancy to
loosen their fastenings and rise to the
surface. In doing this they frequently
tear up small stones and clumps OF
gravel.
The anchor ice is clearly crystalline in
structure, and in the water resembles a
kind of fungus or vegetable growth. AT
times stream will be seen full of little
masses Of anchor ice floating along near
or at the surface. Its consistency is
often very slight, so that if an attempt
is made to grasp it in the hand it readily
melts and disappears. 1t is confined
mainly to swiftly running streams hav'
ing gravelly or stony beds, and it is g
feature of the winter that proves trouble
some chiefly to mill owners.
It collects on the head gates of the
canals and on the racks at the entrance
Of fumes, and if it is allowed to pass into
a wheel pit is liable to stop the wheel, as
it effectually slapped the paddles of the
steamer City o, Boston in the Thames. -

Procure two boxes the same size, high

furnished with two shelves each for
