The readers Of the Commercial will
be pleased to learn that there is at least
n dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages. and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive curt now known to tho
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
t%utional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of tho disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do

Fields of Ice Drifting to the South From
the Arctic Seas

the Arctic seas.
The last week has shown considerable
changes in the immense ice fields and tho
feet of bergs that have been drifting
down from the Arctic seas towards the paths
Of the transatlantic vessels. The warm
southwest breeze that at this time prevails on
this side of the Atlantic and the fact Of the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream having
worked their way towsrJs their summer
limit which IL many miles north OF their
winter portion, are the cause Of THESE
changes.
The air aud the sun melt the bergs above
water. while the warmer subsurtace, current
and constant attrtiOn against the sandy Dot
tom Of Newfoundland s-oanks and against the
neighbOring Toe hills reduce their size be-
meath the waves Consequently they are
changing their shape yisbiy as we'll a. under
meath the surface. lf they wear away much
faster under the waves than above, they top
pie over with tremendous splash ana 20 on
getting smaller and smaller.
Occasionally they disrupt with noise Ike
the discharge of mammoth cannon and
strew the waters about them with numerous
pieces That this has been more frequently
the case recently than earlier IN the ice season
Is well borne out by the reports OF incoming
steamers which state that iceberRs were en-
countered with floating masses surrounding
them.
The great danger at this season is that as
the ice wears away the mass draws less and
less water. until il finally moves away nom
the place over which II has been anchored for
many weeks and drifts further and further 20
the southwark, until IL brings up upon she
sandy bottom in a much 5Aoaler spot than
that which first checked IT'S progress.
glance at tho ice reports of the latest hydro
graphic bulletin proves this point to nicely
for we now find that the bergs. and stable
ones.at that. have crossed the torty-second
parallel and are getting well into the way Of
the steamers. For example. four Oefgs nom
40 20 100 feet high and 300 70 800 feet IA
length were seen in latitude Al degrees %
minutes north, aud two large bergs and TWO
pieces in latitude ~ degrees minutes north.
These latter will no doubt be found by THIS
time TO the southwark Of the torty-second
parallel.
Meanwhile. closer in shore between Cape
Race and St. Johns there arc some noun
tains of Ice hard aground. These extend Tor
several miles Horth and south, and as the
waters ia that locality are not yet much
warmer than they were In April. 1t Will DO
some time before the last OF the ice Is seen.
The most satisfactory feature from this time
until it all disappears lies in the fact that the
ice ia fast getting towards the soft. biDulous
state known as rotten. and .he danger TO
be apprehended diminishes 10 proportion 70
the increase in its spongness. Ia addition
we are quite we'll assured that from present
appearances the infested region will be well
clear bv August when We can again DO treat
90 to some moro record breaking teats on the
part OF the ocean flyers.
