There are regions wherein the poor.

bread. Baked loaves 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, a kind Of porridge made
from ground beech nuts, taken at
breakfast with fresh or curdled milk,
at dinner with broth or fried lard and
with milk again for supper. This dist,
Is also known as heiden and takes the
place Of bread not only in the Aus

A variation of polenta called mama,

COMPRESSED ICE.

Sinks In Water and crumbles Into
Powder When Warmed.
All know that ordinary ice will float
This relative lightness 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 it seems that this expansion
Is prevented and ice heavier than wa
ter is produced.
G. Tamman has prepared this modi-
f1cation, which he calls Ice ILL.,, as
follows: He compressed water to 5000
Kilograms (6,614 pounds) and cooled
1t in solid carbon dioxide snow and
finally in liquid air. Under these con-
ditions colorless, transparent ice is
formed. It is much denser than ordi-
nary Ice and heavier than water; con.
sequently it sinks when placed in wa
ter. Ice III. is very unstable, and on
slight warming it swells out and
breaks up into 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

Kindly Fruits.

The expression in the prayer book
"Kindly fruits Of the earth" has for

account of the difference in signifi-

that connection meant as nearly as
