COMPRESSED IcE.
Sinks In Water and crumbIes Into
Powder When Warmed.

Powder Whom Warmed.
All know that ordinary ice will float.
This relative lightnees of ice with re-
spect to water is due to expansion OF
the water at the moment Of freezing.
II water is frozen under immense
pressure 1t seems that this expansion
is prevented and ice heavier than wa
ter is produced.
G. Tamman has prepared this modi-
flcation, which he calls Ice Ill, as
follows: He compressed water to 5000
Kilograms (6,614 pounds) and cooled
It in solid carbon dioxide snow and
finally in liquid air. Under these coz
ditions q colorless, transparent ice is
formed. It 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 on
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 ii
is impossible to obtain it by separa.
ton from winter at atmospheric pres
sure and then suddenly cooling. There
would never be a possibility Of this
unstable form Of solid water being
formed in nature.-New York Tribune

bird. the toucan. has q body about as

is by no means lacking in bright and

half as long as Its body. and 1t Is broad

rounded edge on top and ending with
a hook point turned downward-a re-
markable beak in size and shape-and
this beak Is tinted with a remarkable
assortment OF coiors. purple and red
and green and yellow. while around
the beak at the head runs a line Of
black
The eyes Of the toucan are surround
ed by circles Of bright light blue. and
on its breast. regularly outlined. is q
broad and deep expanse Of bright vel

the bird about the same as the gener-

man in evening dress with his waist

edged with red line. The toucan's
body for the bulk Of 1t is black or a
very deep blue black. but around at
the base Of the tail run two bands OF
color. one red and one white.

and it is more often fancied by men
than by women. 1t takes $25 to $50 to

THEY EAT NO BREAD.

Places Where the Poorer People HavS
to Use Substitutes.
There are regions wherein the poor
er classes or peasantry eat little or no
bread. Baked loayes OF bread are
practically unknown in many parts OF
southern Austria and Italy and
throughout the agricultural districts Of
Roumania.
1t is said that in the village Of the
Obersteiermark, not far from Vienna.
bread is never seen, the staple food
being sterz. kind Of porridge made
from ground beech nuts. taken ct
breakfast with fresh or curdled milk.
Mt dinner with broth or fried lard and
with milk again for supper. This dish
Is also known as he.den and takes the
place of bread not only In the Aus
trian district named, but In Carinthia
aud in many parts of the Tyrol.
In northern Italy the peasants affect
a substitute for bread called polenta.
a porridge made OF boiled grain. Po-
lenta is not. however. allowed to
"granulate," like Scotch porridse or
like the Austrian stcrz. but Is boiled
into a solid pudding. which IL cut up
and portioned out with string. It Is
eaten cold as often as It Is hot and 70

A variation Of polcnta called mama

the poorer classes In Roumania. Ma

ROD AND LINE WON.

Contest Between 4 Strong Swimmer
and an Expert Angler.
A novel contest took place some time
baths between one of the strongest
swimmers In Scotland and a well
known angler. The contest occurred
in a pool eighty feet long and forty
feet wide.
The angler was furnished with an
eleven foot trolling rod and an un-
dressed silk line. The line was fixed
to a girth belt, made expressly for the
purpose. by a swivel Immediately be-
tween the shoulders Of the swimmer
at the point where he had the greatest
pulling power.
In the first trial the line snapped. In
the second the angler gave and played
without altogether stacking line. and
several porpoise dives were we'll ham
died. The swimmer then tried cross
swimming from corner to corner. but
ultimately was beaten. the match end
ing with a victory for the rod and
line.
Another contest took place in which
the angler employed a very light trout
ing rod ten feet long and Weighing
only six and one-half ounces. the line
being the same as that used with the
trolling rod. The swimmer. whose aim
evidently was to smash the rod, pulled
and leaped into the water. He was
held steadily, however. and in about
five minutes was forced to give in.
The rod was again successful. At the
finish both competitors were almost
exhausted.
