Peril From Icebergs.

Perils from icebergs in the North
Atlantic have been so serious of late
that the officials of the Marine and
Fishery departments of the Dominion
Government strongly recommend Que
bee, Boston and New York steamers to
run on more southerly routes this year
to keep a sharp lockout at the head
mast, and if possible to use the electric
light. 1t seems probable that some
sudden and unexplained change of tenn
perature in high ATTITUDES unlocked the
polar sea, and sent its floating bergs into
the temperate zone of the North Atlantic
Ocean. Old seamen say that they have
never experienced anything like the ter
rifle ice blockade which they encoun-
tered this year along the fifty second
parallel of latitude, one or two hundred
miles southeast of Newfoundland.
Among the vessels that have been
imperiled, injured or wrecked by ice
bergs recently may be mentioned the
British frigate Flamingo, the steam
ship Viking, the French bark Mater,
the American fishing schooner Hartman
Babson and the British bark Birdstow.
The latter vessel was totally wrecked
and abandoned when about hundred
miles south of the Newfoundland banks.
In describing the collision, one of the
crew-for all. after taking to the boats,
were rescued by the Liverpool and
brought to this port gave the follow
ing account of the perilous event:
AT that instant I saw the gigantic
white mass directly in front of us, and
the next moment there was a fearful
crash. So short was the interval be-
tween the time when the berg was first
sighted and the collision that it took
place quicker than have told it. The
helm was put down Immediately, but it
was too late. The shock was terrific
and seemed to SILVER every timber in
the ship. We struck bow on and we
all felt that our last hour had come and
that the ship would surely sink at once.
The great Jagged irregular walls of the
iceberg overhung us, threatening death
from above as well rs from below. 1
can form no idea of its height, but in
width and length Ishould think it was
about as big as block of buildings
here in New York. After dealing us
our death-blow the white monster Gid
ed away as silently as a ghost and we
saw it no more A great hole was cut
into the bows of the bark, from the
decks clean down below the water line
and the vessel began to FILL"

HydrOphObia in Dogs.

Sir Thomas Watson has recently pub
lished an essay on hydrophobia in dogs,
from which it appears that among the
earliest symptoms of the disorder is a
tendency of the eyes of the afflicted ami
NAL to squint and to glsten unnaturally.
The diseased dog continually changes
its position, gazes with apparent sus-
picion on all who come near it, and fire.
quently ticks some part of its own body
upon which scar will generally be
found. 1t becomes capricious in its
eating, and will attempt TO swallow all
sorts of homogeneous things, such as
bits of string, coal and straw. As the
disease develops the creature grows
impatient of correction, is snappish and
inclined to bite, while saliva constantly
flows from its mouth. The disease runs
its course in from four to eight DAYS,
and when its presence is suspected the
dog should at once be securely isolated
and watched and in day or two killed
if it is undoubtedly rabid. During the
last fifty years hydrophobia has greatly
increased, at least in the United King
dom, and especially in large manufacture
ing and commercial ceuters, where dogs
are commonly kept under conditions
altogether unfavorable to their health.
Two years ago the disease was alarm
ingly prevalent in Paris, and not less
than 1850 dogs were killed there by
order Of the authorities in the months
of July and August. The great heat Of
the weather with which this city is now
afflicted undoubtedly favors the circum-
stances in which rabies is developed,
and every means to arrest its spread
should be taken before it appears.-N.
