WHY HOT WATER PIPES BURST
Free of Air and Impurities. Ice Forms
Suddenly and Explosivcly.

II Is Il constant observation that
during a sudden cold snap hot water
pipes burst, while the cold water usu-
ally freezes up tight without rupture
Of the pipes carrying it. A French
experimenter has recently looked into
the cause Of this.
He finds that the hot water in
variably falls TO several degrees below
zero centigrade before beginning to
soiidify, and that the ice then formed
is perfectly solid and transparent. Or
dinarily cold water, on the other hand,
begins to CONCEAL as soon as the
freezing point" is reached; this ice is
filled with air bubbles and presents
soft and mushy appearance.
The explanation Is thatthe air and
other impurities in ordinary water fur
nish nuclei OF specialization. Ice for
nation thus begins sooner and pro-
ceeds more slowly than II these were
absent; and the ice formed is more
mobile, SO that pressures are not so
severe. Hot water, however, is to a
large extent free of gas particles,
which has passed off during the proc
ess Of heating. SO this effect is not OBJ
served. Freezing does not take place
gradually, but all at once. with some
what of an explosive effect; and there
is no cushion of gas bubbles to take
up the shock. That this explanati ton
is correct is indicated by the fact that
when a current of air is forced thru
the hot water Just before freezing. il
behaves in every detail Just like cold.-

The fact that the light six cylinder

in the minds of a tenth of the Haynes
owners. Another 10 per cent stated
that the cardinal characteristic was
the economical use of oil, gasoline

HOW FlLIPINOS RAISE RICE

In an article about the Philippines,
Farm and Fireside says: The prin-
cipal corp Of the Philippine islands Is
rice, but climatic conditions are so
different in various parts OF the is
lands that numerous other crops, such
as corn, abaca, sugar cane. tobacco,
cocOanuts. small vegetables, bananas
and many other fruits are grown.
The total production of any one of
these crops could be increased at least
threefold II the people would use mod
ern machinery and practice seed selec-
| ton and better cultivation after plant
ing their crops. However. the farm
ers careless methods and lack of capt
tai, associated with large degree of
laziness, make them satisfied with
small production and small income for
their years work.
"The single ha ndled modern plow
and wooden harrow Is used on the ma
! jorlty of farms. These plows make "A
| furrow about four inches wide and
perhaps three inches deep Since they
are so small and very light they are
very easy for the Filipino to handle
and one carabao or OK pulls them very
readily.
"A farmer usually works from

hours are necessary because all the
field work is done with oxen and cara
haO and they cannot stand the intense
heat which is always present during
the middle of-the day. To avoid the
terrific heat hundreds of bull carts
travel the road at night during the
busy season.
Nearly all varieties of rice are
planted in small seed beds. There the
plants are kept growing until they
reach the height OF to l2 inches,
when they are replanted In a perma-
nont field. Each individual stalk is
set in the soil by hand.
The plowing for rice Is completed
Immediately after the land has been
thoroly irrigated. This operation is
followed by the modern harrow, upon
which Filipino rides to give IL great
er weight. This man stands on the
harrow by holding on to the tail of the
carabao. when the farmer has his
rice planted he is at leisure for several
months. This time is spent idly wait
ing for the rice to ripen."
