Arctic and Antarctic Icebergs.

1t is not generally known that a
marked difference exists in the form of
the icebergs Of the two hemispheres.
Those Of the Arctic ocean are irregular
in shape, with lofty pinnacles, cloud
capped towers and glittering domes,
whereas the southern icebergs are fiat
topped and solid looking. The former
reach the shore by narrow fjords. but
the formation of the latter is more regu-
lir. The northern are neither so large

In 1855 an immense berg was sighted
in AZ degs. south latitude, which drifted
about for several months and was sighted
by many ships. 1t was 800 feet high,
sixty miles long and forty miles wide,
aud was in shape like horseshoe. Its

Der for metal in the nnufacture of
horseshoes is based upon various sup
posed advantages, one of these being that
the former enables horse 10 go easily

trivance brought forward for this pur-

ArrraratIng 20 the Eve.

II is a curious fact that most Of the
stout and red faced women at Long
Branch are prodi yal in the use Of red
parasols, and the stouter and the redder
they are, the bigger and brighter are
their sun shades. One can but think Of
glorified beets in looking at them. On a
cloudy day or in cloudy country, or as
q bit Of color TO light up a landscape, the
red parasol does very well. but It best
fulhlls its mission in color and size over
the head of great church dignitary, a
bronze faced Buddhist priest, or the fruit
stall Of black eyed Roman market
woman. Taken collectively, with the
sand, the sea. and the sun all a-glitter-
ing, the red parasol is an aggravation TO
the eye.-New York Press.

Preserving Flowers Natural colors.

A method Of preserving the natural
colors of flowers, recommended in the
Deutsche Botanische Monatshefte, con-
sists in busting salicylic acid on the plants
as they lie in the pres and removing it
again with brush when the flowers are
dry. Red colors in particular are well
preserved by this agent. Another method
of applying the same preseryative is TO
use a solution Of one part Of salicylic
acid in fourteen Of alcohol by means Of
blottng paper or cotton wool soaked in
it and placed above and below the ilow-
ers. Powdered boracic acid yields nearly
as good results. DR.. Schonland recom-
mends, as an Improvement in the method
Of using sulphurous acid for preserving
the color, that in the case Of delicate
flowers they might be placed loosely be-
tween sheets Of vegetable parchment be-
fore immersion in the Liquid. SO as to
preserve their natural form. Home
