II water IS frozen under immense

Is prevented and ice heavier than wa

nary ice and heavier than water: con-
seQuently 1t sinks when placed in wa:
ter. Ice III. IS very unstable. and on
slight warming it SwellS out and
breaks up into n dense white powder.
The volume OF the resulting powder
IS apparently four to eight times that
OF the original Ice. This powder FORM

form IS nothing more than ordinary

FROM WASHINGTON

Testimony givfn recently by former
SECRETARY of State John w. Foster, e
fore the New York Surrogate'S Court
in regard to the maruer in which ne
collected through the State Depart
ment a claim OF $39S. 900 against the
Chinese government.duringt the RooSe-
welt administration, resulted today IN
the declaration by Chairman Hamllh
(dem. No. chairman OF the House
committee on expenditures, that 4
sweeping investigation would be con
Quoted. It was stated 10y Foster that
he acted on behalf OF Mrs. Georglanna
NJ. Amidon, an heir Of General
Frederick T. Ward, the American
soldier OF fortune, who was Killed
while serving in China's military forces
in 1862. Wards claim was for sloo,-
600. 1t has been charged that Tor
some mysterious reason, tins Sloo, ouo
claim amounted to 1868, 81 when II
vas paid. and that it was paid out Of
the Boxer indemnity fund, being de-
Quoted from that part of the fund
which was returned by this govern
ment to China. 1t bad no connection
whatever with the indemnity, and 1t
was stated to Hamlin that the state
Department had turned over the
money TO Foster without proper
bond. Information which has reachci
Ian1lin is that Foster and his Son-:n-
