Why Ice Eloata.

Did you ever wonder why it is
that ice, being formed of CONCEAL
ed wate-, floats, and why on some
still la1es it begins to form at the
bottom before It does on the sur
face? Scientists explain these enig-
mas this wise: Ice is specifically
lighter. than water just about to
freeze and therefore Aoats in it.
This is one reason why the forma-
ton OF ice usually begins at the eur
face.
Another is its peculiar Law Of ex-
pansion. The general law is that
cold induces expansion. This law
holds good with water only to q GER
tain point. When water has cooled
down to within 7.A degrees of freez-
ing, it ceases to contract as before
with increase Of cold and begins to
expand till it freezes.
This expansion causes the colder
portions Of the water to rise to the
surface. The formation Of "ground
ice" or "anchor ice," as it is some
times called, is the only exception to
the rule given above.

pose yon want to Measure the height

other tall object, and the sun shines
not, and therefore no shadow Ia

IN the Less assist you to tell its height.
Inns time take distance some 120
Ieet from the object which you wish
10 measure, and in the ground at
IT, that point firmly plant your stick.
Ihen move along from 1t in a
straight line until by lying down on
mother earth the top Of your stick
and the top Of the object to be
measured will to your eye be on a
lne. Ibis spot you viii mark. This
g1Ves you three points-one where
yon laid down, two your planted
stick and three the object to he
measured. Now, the distance from
the point where you laid down to
the stick Is to the distance from the
stick to the object to be measured
as the height Of the stick Is to the
height of that object. Thus. sup
pose the point where you laid down

ty-six yards from the object, then
the object Is six times the height of

ly eighteen feet.
People who live much in the open,
as do ranchers end farmers. can
generally tell time fairly accurately
by the sun, and some, although the
feat is seemingly more difficult, can
tell time from the length of the
shadow thrown by the sun. The
shadow is, however, an easy way OF
determining heights. For example
suppose you wished to ascertain the
height Of tree when walking. Pace
the shadow Of the tree made by the
sun and then plant your walking
stick and pace its shadow. AS many
more or less times it's length as thu
shadow is will give you the distance
of shadow thrown by the sun. Fo,
instance, suppose the shadow to b,
three times the length of the stick
then it is nine feet, for the stick il
three, snd If you then divide you,
paced distance of the trees shadow
by three you will get fairly near thu
actual height of the tree.
