And well it may, for all perfls of the deep are as nought compared with the aw- fulness of striking one of those buge pleces of floating ice, That is was & submerged shelf of ice that dealt the death blow to the Titanje there is no doubt, and it sebms sirange that there should be on record an insthce of an- other vessel beigg similarly injur- ed, although not so deriously, for she managed to maké port. This vessel was the British steamer Nessmore which made Halifax 2 few years ago with her bows stove in. When she was docked for te pairs it was found that there was a deep score extending two-thirds the length of the bull, : Four frames were broken and many of the plates were almost out through, showing that had the impact been greater the plates would have been cut through and the vessel must have been overwhelmed by the inrush of water which no pumps could have checked. At the inquiry that followed the ~skipper 'of the Nessmore testified that after striking the berg he backed off and changed his course and expressed the belief that it was possible that the - steamer had struck a projecting ledge deep un- der the water, for there was clear water between his ship and he berg up ta thé moment of striking.

To the arm-chair navigator, no- thing is more certain than the be- lief that if one will draw a bucket of fresh sea water and place in it a thermometer, a rapid fall of the mercury wil at once denote the presence of ice. This is a fallacy, proven by numerous experiments by ship masters and by naval officers who have sought, and sought an- xiously, for some real indication of the whereabouts of bergs when the air is thick with fog. Shipmasters, in making experi: ments along this line, have found that at the point where the waters of the Labrador curren and the Guif Stream commingle there is fre- quently a difference of 20 degrees in the temperature of the surface sea water within a distance of 2 few hundred yards, and not a piece of ice within 20 miles. On the other hand, in clear weather, these same shipmasters have passed close to huge bergs and noted no dif- ference in the temperature of the water they have drawn to test. Not in many years have there heen s0 many bergs reported as during the past few weeks. Not only have the floating fields been larger in extent but they have been reported many miles to the south put her DRINK CURE A MIRACLE. No, Just Sound Science.

OF THE DEED Pa -------------- -- VIEERN OOD A UI DERN OLIV: clceberd Phot S of where in the they have been reported past From western Green- land, where the bergs originate, come reports bf remarkable free- dom or ice, indicating that en- \ the tire formation has worked way its {into the Aatlantic to become a men i ace to shipping. In western Greenland the be rgs are in formation all of the year, but in the middle of summer the ice begins to break up, setting adrift thousands of these flotillas of ma- Jestic but terror-inspiring forma- tions, many of which reach. the Grend Banks the following spring. In size these bergs vary, but one taat is from 60 to 100 feet to the top of its walls, with spires or pin- nacles from 200 or 275 feet high, and a length of 1,000 to 1,600 feet is considered to be an ordinary Arctic berg. 'These measurements, however, apply only to the part that may be geen, which is gener- #lly conceded to be but one-ninth of the size, cight-ninths being un- ayy He wailer, \:hen a berg, such as described, breaks acvilt from the ice pack it starts on hs southward journey via tire Lal vador current. Its drift not an casy one, however, for the whole coast of Labrador is cut up by uumerous islands, headlands and bays that form serious, and, rerhaps, fortunate obstructions for the bergs. 'Some of them ground in the Arctic basin and are ground to small pieces; others reach the shores of Labrador, where they con- tinually ground and float, each time reducing their bulk. Many of them disappear entirely through the steady grinding. It is rémarkable sometimes requires to break up a huge berg, Often the concussion of gunfire will cause a huge white monster to split Striking a rock will have the same effect. Fisher- men and whalers give the bergs a wide berth, fearing they will be caught 'beneath a portion should the berg split. The noise of the rending of the bergs along the Lab- rador coast during July and August is said to be almost deafening at times. But ia spite of the long drift and the many obstructions some of the huge hergs do reach the open wa- ters of the North Atlantic and there have 'been, from time to time, re- ports of having sighted gigantic floes, some of which were said to be 300 to 600 feet high and 1,00 to 2,000. feet long Allowing a little for imagination, and something for the breadth of the berg, one has to admit that a steamer striking such a floe would have but little chance. In one instance an iceberg prov- ed to be a floating home for a com pany or 27 men, members of the erew of the exploring steamer Pol- aris, which, in 1872, was crushed in an ieepack. The men managed t0 save a vast quantity © of the ship's stores and were also fortun- ate in finding themselves upon solid ice when the pack broke up. In a short time the men discovered that they were upon a berg that was drifting to sea. As long as the borg held together they felt that they no knowing the many horrible hours they had through the 185 days and nights they were adrift upon their strange craft. It was on the last day of 'April that they 'managed to attract the attention of the sailing steamer Tigress and in a little while they were safely on and enroute to civilization, Surely no party could have had a more 'terrible experience or a clos- er shave. Another instance in which is how little it Castlegate sought refuge upon a berg with which their vessel had 'collided and sunk from the injury.

The Nellie had struck a berg The sailing schooner Albatross, with a crew of twenty-two, sailed in March of the year before, never to be heard of again. The presumption is that she struck a berg shortly after leaving port for the weather was foggy. * : There is not a year but what fishing and sealing craft hailing but of St. John's and other far north ports disappear, victims of what no one knows, hut it is generally con- ceded that icebergs play a princi- pal part in the tragedies that are never told. From April to October the Grand Banks off Newfoundland are veiled by heavy fogs through which the giant, pallid glaciers drift in silence, borne by the currents and wind in a general southerly direc tion, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and not until they strike the warmer water that flows in the Gulf Stream do they begin to melt Of the ships that have colMded MAKE DYSPEPSIA VANISH.

There were two primitive rades of dogs gnalogues to these which were first domesticated in Centra, Asis, whence they passed t3° Europe, and there seems no reason to doubt that the bloodhound of to-day is the di rect descendent of the dog spoken of by the ancients as "the dog of the age of bronze." makes - shows This, some semblance indeed, Annual Massacre of Workingmen.
