The problem is not output. If I have an internal float float
variable, then DataOutputStream::writeFloat() writes is properly
to the stream. It is input. The problem is what the heck is
DataInputStream::readFloat() doing. I mean, what can readFloat()
or any of the read<type> functions be used for?

Yeah, I used that in my example that was in my mail. That's how
I read the basic numeric types. But the read<type> functions look
so enticingly useful.
