FIVE KNOWN KINDS OF ICE
Application Of Pressure Causes
Changes Of Movement Of Which
the Importance viii Be Seen.

There are, 1t appears. no fewer than
nve distinct kinds OF ice. First, there
is the common ice, which is water
frozen at ordinary atmospheric pres
sure. This Is called ice |. 1t IL from
10 to l3.5 per cent less dense than
water
lf this Is placed under a pressure OF
about 1000 Kilograms the ice mets to
water II the pressure Is increased to
about 400 Kilograms the liquid water
freezes again to another kind Of ice
called ice 8, which IS about s per cent
denser than water.
Increasing the pressure to about
$500 Kilograms we get ice 4. the
'oIunetric pressure and the density
becoming from to 8 per cent greater
than water.
II we freeze water n, atmospheric
pressure, but with temperature Of
~ degrees G., ordinary ice Gee u Is
changed into Ice 3, which is on the
average per cent denser than water
nnd 20 per cent denser than ice |.
Further increasing the pressure. ice
turns into Ice ,, which Is about 90
per cent denser than ice !. On further
increasing the pressure, ice . changes
to leo . and then to ice 4.
Sometimes these changes take place
so quickly that n click Is heard The
lower the temperature the more slowly
is the change effected

power. Those opposing this plan offer
as the first objection that We give TO
labor represented by wage earners
and managing officials a two-thirds
control OF the directorate: that It
would be possible for these forces to
combine and by raising wages absorb
all profits SO that there would be MOTH
ing to divide between the corporation
and the government, and taight even
create a deficit in operating expenses
which must be met by taxation,
80 Valuation. The great iunda-
mental upon which this plan is based
is that there shall be a proper valua
ton OF all railroad properties. We
contend that the only basis for OBJ
tanning such valuation is to determine
the amount of money which each cor
poration. at the time OF the valuation,
had put in the actual service of the
public
Conclusion: Under this plan We
provide a sure method fer the ulti-
mae reduction of transportation
charges to actual cost Under this
plan every increase in surplus earn
ings tends to reduction in rates.
Every expenditure out of earnings for
improvements increases the actual in
vestment and earning power without
any increase in fixed charges. Every
improvement made upon the proper
ties and paid for by local taxation
brings about the same result. Eve'T
application of surplus earnings AMI
sinking fNnd accumulations secures
a reduction OF outstanding capital AMI
a dimunition of fixed charges. again
