Experiments lately made in England show that if a ball of solid iron is lowered into a mass of liquid iron by means of a metal fork the ball at first sinks to the bottom with the fork. But in a few secouds it leaves the prongs and rises to the snrface, where it continúes to float uiitil it melts. The rising is explaiued by the expansión of the ball, dne to heating, whereby it becomes, bulk for bulk, .V-ss dense than the molten metal.
