ANCHOR ICE

, It is well known that not only is ice lighter than
| water but water very near the freezing point Is
lighter than that which is somewhat less cold This
like most other substances always contracts with the
cold and it is we'll for that it is For if
traction continued uniformly up the freezing point
water Just about freeze would sink to the bottom.
Ice would form from below upward and streams
would be frozen solid AS it is, water the point
of freezing expands becomes lighter rises to the top
and freezes there.
In spite of all this, however, what is called "anchor
ice" is an apparent exception to the rule. This is
spongy collection of ice crystals that stick to objects
at the bottom of streams and sometimes form
considerable size Recent experiments by Lokhtine.
Russian physicist, throw considerable light the
formation of this kind of ice. His experiments which
were performed the River Neva, showed that II
water we'll freed from ice crystals enclosed in
watertght vessel and lowered to the bottom of the
stream anchor ice never formed inside though It
often cung the outside of the vessel If the vessel
however were filled with ordinary river water, OBJ
iects within it soon became covered with the spongy
mass This shows that the crystals that make up the
"anchor already floating in the swift current
of cold rivers and that they merely deposited
objects against around which the water flows.
The crystals, it has been found always form at
the surface of the water they ought, but owing to
the swiftness of the current they whired away
before they adhere together to form covering. The
'anchor ice" always forms the up stream side OF
obstacles which shows that the crystals must come
down with the current. The author recommends that
the formation of surface ice be favored in Russian
rivers by retarding the current that the
of the troublesome anchor ice" may be prevented.

HEAT FROM GAS ENGINES.

II HE of a gas engine involves the production OF
good deal of waste heat. 1t is suggested by
recent writer that this be utilized in the operation
of hot water heating system, which could employ
prohtably sixty to seventy per cent of this waste.
Comparing a gas engine with condensing steam en-
gne he finds that the former is able to supply about
four thousand heat units hour for each horse power
and do the same amount of work, with consumption
of only one-third much fuel the latter which Is
able to furnish heat at all non-condensing en-

This was an attack on Admiral Fisher. although

Lord Charles's most important conclusion was
that a definite programme was needed in order
to convince foreign countries that England was
IN earnest and was determined TO keep the
peace by frightening her rivals of the course
He gave his own programme in detail repeat
ing the tactics which he had employed on other
occasions He estimated its cost at -omething

If all parents would teach their
children to honor and respect their

and all in authority, instead of sid

fault with the teachers, the work
of the schools would he more pleas
ant and effective. This may seem
little old fashioned, but know
that the boy or girl who is always
respectful to others will never have
cause to regret it
Our common school system is
one of the grandest institutions of
the best government on earth, but
it has few faults. One of them
is, I think, the stufing of every
boy and girl precisely alike from
six to sixteen years of age without
reference to the child's health,
tastes or inclinations, or his proba-
BILE future mode of pursuit. l be-
lieve every child should be educat-
ed with a special idea as to his
probable future employment, and
all should be taught some useful
manual occupation.
Another fault is. in my opinion,
the school age is placed at too ear
ly period. 1t would be better if
children were kept out of school
until eight or nine years of age.
Let their early years be given to
the culture of arms, legs, lungs,
bone and muscle as the best guar
antee of a sound mind in a sound
body. Too many people send their
children off to school at the earliest
moment the law will allow, even
going so far as to deceive the school
authorities as to their age. Some
of them do this to get the children
"out of the way" and sometimes
they succeed to their sorrow. If a
delicate, puny child is kept out of
school, and lives in the open air
| until it becomes robust it will soon
catch up with those who have been

have talked with number of
parents and teachers and find that
nearly all children are obliged to
stuny from one to three hours a
day at home, besides the five hours
spent in school, for the reason that
there are so many studies that there
| is no time for study in the school.
This is all wrong especially as to
the younger pupils, and many chill.
dren break down. The course of
study should be SO changed that
the lessons could be prepared in
school, and the hours outside could
be spent in outdoor exercise, rest,
and recuperation. Then the chill
dren would go to school with clear
er heads, and could do better work
and have better health. When all
parents insist upon this it will come
