How Water Freezes.

1t used to puzzle all thinking people
why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond certain depth. This depends
on a most curious fact-namely, that
water is at its heaviest when 1t reach
es 40 degrees F.-that is. 8 degrees
above freezing point On a frosty
night as each top layer of water falls
to 10 degrees 1t sinks TO the bottom.
Therefore the whole pond has to drop
to 40 degrees before any OF 1t can
freeze. At last it is all cooled to this
point. and then ice begins to form.
But ice ,s very bad conductor or
heat. Therefore 1t shuts off the freez-
ing air from the big body OF compare
lively warm water underneath. The
thicker it gets the more perfectly does
It act as q great coat. and that is why
even the Arctic ocean never freezes
beyond few feet in thickness.
