1 F-4 WAS UNFIT SAYS REPORT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12—A
fleeting glimpse of the criminal of
ficial negligence which caused the
deaths of the twenty-one members
bers of the crew of the
United States submarine F-4 was
given in the report of the board
detailed to investigate the disaster
off Honolulu on March 25 last.
“The primary cause of the disaas
ter,” the board reported to Secre
tary of the Navy, Daniels, 'was the
corroded condition of the lead lining,
and in consequence of certain rivits
in the port wall of the forward
battery steel tank.
The secondary cause of the dis
aster were: (A) the poor diving
quallities of the vessel, and (B) the
consequent failure to respond to
measures taken to bring her to the
surface.”

FIFTEEN YEARS FOR GENERAL
WHO WAS NEGLIGENT
PETROGAD, Nov. 12—Absence
from the fortress of Kovno, during
the fighting and inadequate prepar
ation of the defense, were charged
against Gneral Gregorieff, who was
commandant of the fortress when it
fell in the court "'martial proceeding
at Dvinsk, which resulted in his re
ceiving a sentence of 15 years at
hard labor and the loss of all his
rights.
WHY THE WATER FREEZES
FROM TOP DOWN
The fact that water begins to
freeze at the surface disprove the
prevalent notion that "heat ex
pands, cold contract.” By this
general rule it is meant that a giv
en weight of the same substance
when cold—in other words, that
the density (weight per volume) is
decreased by cooling.
When part of a liquid or a gas
is heated that part becomes relativ
ely lighter than the surrounding
medium and is buoyed up by it.
Hence.as long as the temperature
is changing the warmest water is
"ontinuously flowing upward. This
is what is meant by the phrase,
“heat rises,” If this were invari
ably true water would freeze from
•he bottom upward.
At ordinary temperatures the
rule does hold good. But at four
degrees centigrade a remarkable
change takes place. Between
this temperature and zero centi
grade (the frezing point of water)
water actually expands instead of
contracting. The result is that the
coldest water, approaching zero in
temperature, has the least density
and rises to the top, leaving the
warmer water nearer the temper
ature of four degrees, at the bot
tom. As the coldest water con
sistently rises to the surface it is
here that freezing takes place.
Were this not so skating would
be impossible until the whole lake
was frozen solid.
There are other ways of demons
trating the fallacy of the assertion
that heat expands, cold contracts.
When water freeze to ice it in
creases in bulk. Sometimes it is
said however, that the volume of
fhe sum of the ice crystals alone
is no greater than that of the or
iginal liouid, but that the crystals
of ice do not fit in well together
and leave spaces between them
which account for the apparent
increase in volume.
