COMPRESSED ICE.
Sinks In Water and crumbles Into
Powder When Warmed.

~ efN ~ - ft
Powder When Warmed.
All know that ordinary ice Will float.
This relative iightness of ice with re.
spect to water is due to expansion of
the water at the moment of freezing.
If water is frozen under immense
pressure 1t seems that this expansion
is prevented and ice heavier than wa
ter is produced.
@. Tamman has prepared this modi-
fi~cation, which he calls Ice III, as
follows: He compressed water to 1900
Kilograms (6,e14 pounds) and cooled
1t In solid carbon dioxide snow and
finally In liquid air, Under these con-
ditions a colorless, transparent ice is
formed. 1t Is much denser than ordi,
nary ice and heavier than water; con-
sequently 1t sinks when placed in wa
ter. Ice III. is very unstable, and oe
slight warming 1t swells out and
breaks up into a dense white powder.
The volume OF the resulting powder
Is apparently four to eight times that
of the original ice. This powder FORM
ed by the breaking up of the dense
form is nothing more than ordinary
Ice In the form of fine crystals, which.
of course, on further warming melt at
zero degrees centigrade.
Experiments ON Ice III. show that 1t
Is impossible TO obtain II by separa-
ton from water at atmospheric pres
sure and then suddenly cooling. There
would never be q possibility of this
unstable form Of solid water being
formed In nature.-N w York Tribune.

Namas La Samoa.

Travellers visiting Samoa are pnz~
zied at first by the fact that many boys
bear feminine names, while girls ar
frequently have masculine names. The
visitor learns after awhile. however.
that this confusing use of nsrnes In
stead Of being due to ignorance Is In
reality the result Of a native custom
which is highly poetic. Thus If q girl
is BORN soon after the death OF =
brother the latter's name Is given to
her in the belief that his spirit and
all his good qualities have been trans
ferred to her. On the other hand, Il
a boy is born after the death Of q sis-
ter he takes the latter's name and. IA
the Samoans believe, all her lovabls

Z~orosster.
All classical antiquity, without a dis
sentient voice, speaks Of Zoroaster as
a historical person. But there Is great
diversity of opinion with regard to his
time, the date of his birth being placed
all the way from 5000 B. G. to 300
B. @. He probably lived about AGO
B. @. From all accounts the father
of the old Persian faith possessed q
most beautiful character and gave tho
world many of its finest teachings.
There Is no doubt that In the Persian
Scriptures, Known as the Zend Avesta,
we have the substance of Z~oroaster's
teachings, though, of course, they have
been greatly added to. In the present
day Parsoes of Bombay we have the
