about 80 deg ~. and expands again n

TVHERE Is nothing in nature
more marvellous than water.
u IL Is the life-blood OF the
earth. IL Is a symbol OF benef-
cence, innocence. and health; and
yet except for certain an6molous
properties that II possesses, II
would be the agent OF universal
death for this planet OF ours. The
simple fact that water has the very
peculiar property OF expanding
both when it's temperature rises
above 80 degrees and when IL falls
below 80 degrees-so humorssque a
property as that's all that stands
between the living world and ex-
tinction.
As a foundation for answering
the question above, let us see what
this anomalous conduct OF water
leads to. and how II happens to be
a fortunate thing for the life OF our
globe. III water obeyed the general
law that a substance must contract.
or become denser, as long as it's
temperature continues to fall. and
especially when IL turns from liquid
TO solid, ice would be heavier than
water, and consequently would sink
to the bottom, so that lakes. ponds.
and rivers instead OF freezing only
at the top. would. IL shallow, freeze
solid in a single cold winter, and,
II very deep. would accumulate so
much ice at the bottom that the
heat of the following summer could
not melt at all. In that case each
successive winter would add to the
quantity of unmelted Ice until the
whole body of water was solidified.
As things are actually arranged,
however, owing to the remarkable
contradiction in its character, tho
water contracts only until its tenn
perature reaches 80 degrees, after
which, IL the temperature continues
to descend, the same water begins
to expand and continues to expand
until IL is solidified into ice. In the
meantime, while the gradual cool
ing Is going on, II Is the surface

that cools first, and thus becomes
denser, so that II sinks, while the
warmer water below rises in its
place. This goes ON until all the
water, from top to bottom. has
fallen to the temperature Of 80 de-
grees-
The water now has its maximum
density, though still degrees above
the freezing point But the cold
air continues to lower the tempera-
ture of the surface water, which
now. instead of contracting. ex-
pands, and thus no longer sinks as
II cools, but. on the contrary. re-

descending temperature at the sur
face reachess 32 degrees freezing oc-
ours, with a still further expansion.
wheTeupon Ice IL formed. which,
being lighter than the water under
IL, IL compelled 20 float.
Here note another interesting cir
cumstance. when once the Ice is
formed and has reached a thick
ness corresponding with the depth
OF the layer OF water having q tenn
-perature OF 80 degrees usually only
a few inches), the ice constitutes a
roof for the water beneath which
prevents the freezing temperature
from penetrating much deeper, be-
cause the ice IL SO poor a conductor
that IL obstructs the escape OF the

so that. except in extremely cold
weather, none OF that water can
descend low enough In temperature
20 be frozen. Ewes .he surface will
not freeze until all the ~ster be-
meath has sunk TO 80 degrees. For
this reason large, deep lakes are
seldom frozen over.
One more step and we shall be
ready for the explanation OF the
ground ice" mystery. Sea water
differs from fresh water in that as
an effect OF its salinity its freezing
point is about % degrees, instead OF
- degrees, while IL continues to
contract until IL turns into Ice.
when IL suddenly expands. From
this IT follows that In the sea the
coolest water sinks to the bottom.
and ice, except along the shores
and in bays, begins to form in the
depths. However, ice formed from
sea water, as well as that formed
from fresh water, Is lighter than
water. and II rises and floats on the
surface, so that the peculiar prop
erty OF water, to expand in solidi-
flying. would protect the sea also
from ever being frozen solid.
Now, the ground ice, or anchor
ice, of rivers resembles sea ice in
being formed at the bottom instead
of on the surface. But the cause
of it's formation is different. There
are certain pecularities about il
which have led to a probable ex-
PLANTATION of it's origin. Such ice
may be formed while none has yet
appeared on the surface. 1t Is
almost always formed on a dark
colored. stony bottom, and when
the sky Is clear, in this last respect
resembling dew. Also. 1t Is not

It Is believed that radiation of heat

perhaps, after ali, Gerald had meant
IL. when he had said she was the
most beautiful girl in the whole
world.
In her mind OF pretense. the din
ing room she entered was a long
banquet hall. The table was long
and laid with the daintiest food
and fnest linen. After bowling
gracefully to an assemblage OF
beautifully gowned women and dis
tinguished, immaculate men, she
took her place in the tall chair at
the head OF the table.
She could almost taste the food
as she put her fingers TO her lips
talking gayly all the time on the
most idiotic subjects. II was now
necessary for her to play two roles.
In the role of her Aunt Lorry, Pearl
arose to make the announcement or
the occasion.

In the role OF the BRIDE ELECT,

of all, her eyes were to rest timidly
upon the man of her choice.
That's just what they did in real
