PROBLEM:
The Sticking
Ice Tray.
NEEDEDt
A tray of ice
just out of a cold
refrigerator.
DO THIS:
Note that the tray
will stick to the
fingers. An ice
cube will some
times stick to
the fingers when
it is first
removed from
the tray.
HERE’E WHY:
If the tray and
cube are below
the freezing
point of water,
which is 32 degrees, the warmth of the hand will melt a thin
layer of the ice or frost. Then as the hand is cooled, the layer
which is now water will freeze again into ice.
It is possible that the hand or finger can freeze so tightly to
the tray that a little skin is tom as it is pulled loose. T
• Don’t stick your tongue on the freshly removed tray.
Three books of these experiments by Bob Brown are available:

Vatican City ■ One of the
unlooked • for results of the
Israeli - Arab war is a real,
though of course diplomatical
ly unacknoweldged, feeling
of good will between the Vat
ican and the Israeli govern
ment The “barriers of two
thousand years” are at least
unofficially down.
But if the atmosphere has
changed, the situation is not
without its drolleries, if I may
■tfe permitted the word while
speaking of religious matters.
The Vatican could not possibly
have protocol - type diplomatic
relations with Israel 't*t this
time. For one thing, many
Christians live in Arab coun
tries, which means that they
are as vulnerable to Arab anger
as Jews. But even more of a
difficulty is interposed by the
fact that many Christians, for
all their talk about the ecumen
ical spirit, do not recognize the
Pope’s right to make any deal
with the Israelis about the holy
places in Jerusalem.
The bishops of the Eastern
Orthodox church, for example,
claim a special interest in at
least sixty percent of the
Christian shrines in the holy
city. Then the Archbishop of
Canterbury speaks for Anglican
claims in Palestine, which are
not identical with the Vatican’s.
The Baptists, the Methodists,
the Presbyterians, the Luth
erans, the Coptic Christians,

vldee a single spedp
source of credit fo:
and all the other exemplars of
what Ralph Waldo Emerson
called “the dissidence of dis
sent” (including the Russian
Orthodox church), might also
resent it if the Vatican were
to presume to speak ecumenical
ly with the Israelis on questions
involving Christendom.
So, barring the unlikely un
ification of the Christians in
the foreseeable future, the
relationship between the Is
raelis and the West insofar
as an accord on Jerusalem is
concerned must take a prag
matic, and probably a tacit,
form. The notion of making
Jerusalem an international
city is, of course, a dream of
our secular age, which likes
to consider itself plagmatlc.
But the Israelis are dead set
against internationalizing the
city for reasons which they
have drawn from their own
nineteen-year history as a
modern nation. An interna
tional city would have to be
run by a committee of the
United Nations, and the Israe
lis known all about such
committees.
A prominent Israeli, not a
spokesman for the government
but near enough to it presumb
ly to know its mind, puts it
this way: “If Jerusalem were to
be run by a committee, you’d
have a Russian on it, and a
Pole, and a few Cold War neu
trals, and a Canadian, all re
porting to U Thant, a Buddhist.
You’d keep politics out of
that?”
The Israeli position is that
their own government can
guarantee (a) , safety, (b)
freedom of access and (c)
freedom of cult or religion
at all of the sacred shrines,
both Christian and Moslem,
as no UN committee could
ever do. To take an extreme
example, the Israelis point
out that nothing Stops a citi
