is, strictly speaking, a higher temperature than 100° C, but the difference is very trifling. Specific heats are customarily measured by that of water, which is taken as= 1. All other specific heats of liquids or solids (with one solitary exception, formed by a certain strength of aqueous methyl alcohol) are less than 1. The temperate character of insular climates is greatly owing to this property of water. Another physiographically important peculi- arity of water is that it expands on freezin...g (into iee), while most other liquids do the reverse. 11 volumes of ice fuse into only 10 volumes of water at 0° C. ; and the ice- water produced, when brought up gradually to higher and higher temperatures, again exhibits the very exceptional property that it contracts between 0° and i° C. (by about nmn; of its volume) and then expands again by more and more per degree of increase of temperature, so that the volume at 100° C. is 1-043 times that at 4° C. Imagine two lakes, one containing ordinary water and another containing a liquid which differs from water only in this that it has no maxi- mum density.
