A Visit to an Iceberg.

A recent letter from q gentleman on
board the United States steamer Juni-
alta, at st. Johns, Newfoundland. con-
tains this paragraph son the Sd
instant large iceberg became stranded
at the mouth of the harbor, and the
captain wishing some of the officers to
go ont with him and see it, l gladly
accepted the invitation, and as soon as
our party was made up We started ont
in the steam launch. AS we approached
the berg the air grew colder, and we
found it necessary to slip on our over
coats. We ran alongside of it and
measured it with our eye, which gave
us 35 feet high, $50 feet broad, and 400
feet long, and as that portion below the
surface bears the proportion of seven to
one, we can calculate the depth of thick
ness of the berg to be 28O feet, equal to
II 200, 900 cubic feet, or 2S6, 225 tons.
The berg was melting so rapidly that
water was flowing from it in every
direction, preventing us from approach
ing very close to it, so we decided to go
to smaller one and cut some ice for
our own consumption. We we're very
successful, as we brought on board in
the neighbOrhc cd of half ton. About
five minutes after leaving the berg we
heard an explosion, and, looking around,
saw that one end of the berg had burst
off and filled an area of about 800 feet
in length of the width of the berg, 80
VIC escaped an unpleasant dampness
