Blocks of ice may be seen in the windows of iceshops with the sun shining full upon them, and melting nowhere but on their surfaces. And the experiment of the icelens shows that heat may stream through ice in abundance (of • Phil. Hag., S. 4, vol. x., p. 303. t Proceedings of the Bristol Naturalists'...
