Icebergs in thu Atlantic.

Every ship from Euro be brings accounts
of an unusual quantity offcebergsin in the At
lantic. It's probable thai the Northwesterly
winds, which have prevail led in this latitude
to such an extraordinary degree this winter,
have ragged also in the Arctic circle; have
set the ice fields in motien earlier than com
mon; and have filled the Atlantic with
drifting bergs and pack.
The origin of these ica mountains was
long subje-. of controtersy. By some
persons the berg was thought to be the re-
suit of months freezing in the open sea. By
others, it was more correctly attributed to
land origin. Dr., Kane. tliysaistorian Of the
late American Expedition. has proved con-
clusively, BY observati0fsss1 the spot. that
the iceberg has similar origin with the
glacier, being deposited on the sides, and in
the valleys ofthe Arctic mountains, and after
wards pushed forward exactlyas glaciers are,
down the slope aud along the gorge. AS
these valleys eventually open to the sea- the
field Of ice is finally pro ruded into the wa.
ter, where part Of it breaks off, at last, by
its own weight, and is foated away. The
early navigators, seeing these enormous mas
ses, called them in their native tongue,
bergs,' or mountains, and by that name they
have been known ever since.
Not unfrequently large masses of rock,
which are frozen up in the glacier on land,
are borne off with the iceberg. AS the
berg melts, they drop away, and sink to the
bottom of the sea. Geologisss. tell US that
4L-l.~.,- avv,,.ty,rrs, wurcu are dften seen IN
the interior of this continent hundreds Of
miles away from primitive formations Of
similar character, were thus transported, at
some far distant period, when most of Amer
lea was still a vast ocean. In melting the
bergs often assume the most frantic shapes.
Some look like floating towns, with towers,
pinnacles and forts. Some bear the shape
of gigantic castles. Some recall the fairy
descriptions of the Arabian Nights The
temperature of the water being lower than
that of the atmosphere, they melt at bottom
, faster than at top, and finally turn over, con-
vulsing the deep for an immense circle a.
round, and imperiIing ships that happen to
! be near.
The play of light on these bergs is, at
times, indescribably beautiful At other
I rounded with fog the offspring Of their own
evaporation and on such occasions, wo to
r the mariner who is not warned in time OF
the damp mist he sees sitting down around.
After traversing our eastern coasts, and as
sisting to make our springs later than those
on the Pacific side. the bergs are melted
= down by the gulf stream, or borne off IL
) greatly reduced bulks to the coast of Ireland
