ANTARYIC ICEBERGS.

In the diay Of the Challengers voy-
age to the Antarctic regions, very accu-
rate descriptions OF icebergs are gwen.
A the beginning of an iceberg's inde-
pendent existel ce, ii does not possess
those fantastic forms which are so often
described. Near the pole they are near
ly all huge, hat-topped cakes of Ice, from
a quarter to half mile across, and lou
to 250 feet above water. This corres-
ponds 10 submersion amounting TO nine
times tlis height. This is the ice berg
as it appears just after breaking away
fIom the glacier, where it was formed,
and before the sun began.t to affect it. AS
it floats into warmer regions 1t slowly
melts, and assumes the most unimaglna-
Bile forms so often seen But an iceberg
is by no means short-lived. In the
8 ,uthern 'ean south of "a deg. latitude,
the temperature of The water, except Tor
few feet at the surface, where II Is
warmed by the. sun, is % deg. Fahr.
This is 8 deg. below the freezing point.
Even the surface water close to the ice Is
OF this temperature, so that the iceberg
moves in Il bath of this loN temperature.
Only in summer is the water warm
enough tomelt notch around II at the
sea level
This notch is never more than thirty
feet deep and the waves IN striking
break down the overhanging cliff, and
the iceberg rises somewhat, the notch
deepening. This action is most vigorous
on the weather side, which accordingly
becomes the lightest, causing the iceberg
to turn slowly round. 1t is 10 The cavi-
ties thus formed, surrounded by ice of
various thickness, and containing more
or less water, that the rich colors are
due. Where the crevasses," says the
diary, cor other weak parts in the upper
surface of the parent glacier extend
down to the water line of the floating
iceberg, the sea, havinga less solid part
to withstand it, soon excavates most
beautifully ,efned and picturesque cave
the sides of which rejecting light color
the interior with exquisite cobalt blue,
the tint of which Increases in warmth
and richness, as the depth extends.
When these occur on the side that is af-
terward raised, no description can do
justice 10 tne picturesque dppeaTance Vi
this line of fairy grOttOes."
The glaciers from which icebergs are
broken off reach far out 20 sea. A gla-
cier of 1000 feet thickno will have to
push its way out to ocpn of l,SO0or
more feet before its from can be broken
by the hoative power Of the water.
Such glacier, pushing its way over an
ocean bed having the same slope as the
Atlantic basin off the New Jersey coast,
would touch bottom for more than 240
miles beyond the land, and for the whole
of this distance glacier markings would
be found. The observations on temper
ature above spoken Of show that the
glacier does not break off by overweight
due to undermining but is broken by
the buoyant pressure of the water.

Yesterday, about dinner-time, Jep
Rice observed seedy dead beat slipping
into the dining-room without registering
himself at the captains office. On step
ping into the hall he observed the hun
cry patron laying in a generous supply
of first-class grub in the most approved
style. Times being hard, Jep could not
stand the onslaught on his bill of fare
without revenge, 30 he sent for Mat
MaIson, who soon appeared and station
ed himself at the door.
After long seige at the table our ca
daverous D. B. requested tooth-pick
and walked carelessly to the street door,
where he was politely stopped by Mat,
who asked him if ne had dinner. On
replying that he had dined, he was
marched in to interview Jep.

"Well, that don't pay my bills, so we
will just settle right here" said Jep,
reaching away under the counter in
threatening manner.
"Hold on, Mr. Rice," said D. B., look
ing alarmed. "What are you looking
for?"
"a revolver" said Jep.
"Oh, well" said the dead beat, that's
all right. was afraid you were reach

Jep caved in at this cool rejoinder, in
vited him to be sure to be around at sup

ny JOHN q. SAKE.


Again hear the creaking stepl
He's rapping at the doprl
Too well | know that boding sound
That ushers in the bore
do not tremble when meet
The stoutest of my foes,
But Heaven defend me from the friend
Who comes hut never goes.
He drops into my easy chair,
And asks about the news,
He peers into my manuscript
And gives his candid views
He tells me where he likes the line
And where he's forced to grieve
He takes the StraugeSt liberties
But never takes his leave.
He reads my daily papers through
Before I've seen word.
He scans the lyric that wrote.)
And thinks II quite absurd;
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And calmly asks for more,
He opens everything hesees-
Except the entry door,
He talks about his fragile health,
Ana ltlls me Oh MS pulun
He suffers from a score Ills
Ofwhich he neer complains;
And how he struggled once with death
To keep the iiend Mt bay;
On themes like those away he goes
Bat never goes away
He tells me of the carping words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familiarly can quote
He thinks the writer did me wrong
He'd like to run him through
He says thousand pleasant things
But he never says "Adieup
Wheneer he cOmes--that dreadful man
Disguise II rs | may,
know that like an autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day
In vain | speak OF urgent tasks,
In vain | scOwl and pOut

Put Grape upon the door;
Or hint to John that am gone
To stay month or m0re

But Heaven defend me from the friend

BY JULIAN A. SELB,

An Eastern paper makes fun of
the old story, a arevival of which, by
o French newspaper, was cabled
lately, that the Pope is considering
the possibility Of his residence in
the United States. The Pope's
American friends, says our ex-
change, if they are wise, will warn
the Holy Father against becoming
an immigrant to this country. In
the antique seclusion of the Vatican
he is spiritual potentate, q. sue
cessor of ST. Peter, and on infallible
sovereign of the Church. Here he
would have to pny, poll tax, give
his name to the street directory
compilers. be interviewed by re-
porters, read the Beecher trial, and
horrible thought possible be
defendant in legal proceedings him
SELF What sanctity, divinity or
infallibility could hold out against
such leveling influences rs these?
Think of the Pope receiving pro-
posals from IN American ''lecture
bureau" or neglecting to have his
sidewalk cleaned, or being nomi-
mated for Congress, or riding in a
street cor. His Holiness will shun
the disillusion which awaits him
here. rIa..
