UNCLE RAYS CORNER

, takes up more space than the wafer
did.
Perhaps you have noticed that the
freezing of water in pail Will pro-
duce more ice than there was water.
That is only one of several examples
which might be given. When bot
tie of milk freezes, the cardboard
cap is pushed upward and out OF the
bottle.
There is a great deal of power in
the process of freezing. Pipes often
burst when water in them turns to
ice.
Farmers have fear of frost when
they have growing crops. They
know that the frost has power to de-
stroy what they have labored to
produce.
Frost is special form of frozen
water. The juice of plants is made
up mainly of water, and when 1t
freezes it expands. The change
from liquid to ice is likely to break
tubes and cells In plants, and in
that way crops can be ruined.
