CURIOUS FACT LITTLE KNOWN
But Il 10 Easily Possible for One to
Boil and Freeze Water at the
Same Time.

1t Is 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. II there be high
pressure, the water must be rendered
good deal hotter in order that it
may boil than would be the case at a
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
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.
II 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 q few degrees lower. the height
OF that place may be easily ascertained
by the comparison with table made
out for this purpose.
In general. for every degree the boil
ing takes place under 212, a height Of
about 500 feet is counted. This prin'
ciple does not. of course. apply to wa
ter alone. but is characteristic Of all
liquids.

pleXity OF technical facts that it is lGle.

Whether or not President Wilson has

This is not Cancellation or concession.
II is simply dOgmatism, to which has
been added the arrogance of a later

tclligencer does not undertake 10 say
that the railway trainmens demands
are unjust, although they are revolu-

Presidents dictum as a wholly fair
consideration of the interests of the
railroads that have reasonable equities
at stake?
