Abstract
BEING a reader of NATURE, I have become quite interested in Mr. Thos. Carnelley's experiments with hot ice. Although Mr. Carnelley's experiments would seem to be sufficiently accurate to prove that the ice was in a heated condition, I would still like to offer an additional method to heat the ice, and also a method to test for heat in the ice. To heat the ice I would suggest a small coil of fine platinum wire placed in position in the tube where the water is to be frozen, and the two ends of the coil passed through the sides of the tube and hermetically sealed.
