In last week's News-Record men- tion was made of the way the ice has melted off the Gmnd River at Fer- gus this winter, even after it was seven inches thick, and while the weather wafe still cold- The theory was advanced that the water coming out of Lake Belwood. through the bottom of the dam was warmer than the freezing point- The foliowing scientific explanation comes from the National Research Council at Ottawa: "I notice that there is some doubt about why there isn't much ice on the river at Fergus. Here is a the- ory: When water ife cooled down it eontracts and gets heavier, like any- thing else except that when it gets down to about 7 deg. above freezing- it starts to expand and gets dense as the temperature goes down further. -1 when a large body of water at the bottom fe heavier than at the top, but it will stay several degrees ibove freezing for a long time. So if water is let out of the bottom of the^ lake through the dam, it will probably be between 32 and 39 deg. F- and won't get down to 32 deg. un- til it has gone several miles down the river, unless the winter has been long, cold one, to the water at the bottom of the lake is down near the freezing point." â€" Fergus News- Record- Doctor (having painted the pa- tient's neck for sore throat) â€" "Three dollars, please."
