CURIOUS FACT LITTLE KNOWN
But It Is Easily Possible for One to
Boil and Freeze Water at the
Same Time.

It Is a curious fact that water may
be boiled and frozen at the same time.
The temperature at which water boils
depends simply upon the air pressure
upon its surface. If there be high
pressure, the water must be rendered
a good deal hotter in order that it
may boil than would be the case at
low pressure.
In mountainous regions, where the
air pressure is a good deal lower than
at sea level, water boils easily at a
low temperature. In cooking vege-
tables that require a certain degree of
heat, when the water boils before that
degree of heat is attained, the vege-
tables will mot get done" Conse.
quently, they must be placed in a
closed boiler, so that the generated
steam will create sufficient pressure
for the water to boil at or beyond the
required temperature.
In the experimental proof Of this
fact the water Is placed in a vessel
and the air is exhausted from above
the surface Of the water. AS the proc
ess of pumping continues the water
will boil violently, the steam CONCEAL
ing on the sides Of the exhaust vessel.
If the pumping is continued for suf-
ficient period, and the outside Is cooled
below the freezing point, the water will
continue to boil and bubble until it is
frozen into snowy mass of Ice.
The fact is utilized in the estimation
of the height of mountains. Ordinarily
at sea level, where the pressure is
about 80 inches of mercury, water boils
at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, II
1t Is noticed that at certain place 1t
boils a few degrees lower, the height
of that place may be easily aseertained
by the comparison with table made
out for this purpose.
In general, for every degree the boil.
ing takes place under 212. q height OF
about 500 feet is counted. This prin'
ciple does not. of course. apply to wa
ter alone, but is Characteristic OF al
LIQUIDS.

What was the matter with Tod?
Rev. Smith Boyd sang as he went
out of the door, not tune or any set
musical form, but mere unconscious
testing Of his voice. 1t was quite un-
usual for him to sing on the way to
vedder court, for he devoted his time
to this portion Of his duties because
he was Christian. He had sympa-

understood and pitied the people of
