CHRISTrlAS GIFTS.
Do Not Try to Send Them Abroad BY
Tail

A few instructions regarding the sending
of Christmas presents abroad are now In
order and may save many persons the dis
gust OF having their presents go astray
when they expect them to be received by
friends.
Regarding European mail the Postoffice
clerks have considerable trouble. as there
10 an IDEA in the minds OF many people that
anything can be sent abroad in this manner.
This Is not so, and any present that Is sal
able, such as hats. shoes. ETC.. or In fact
almost any merchandise. cannot be sent
through the mails. as there Is duty i'm
posed upon such things and they must 90
through the regular channels for shipping
goods.
Weigh all domestic packages and know
just how many stamps you want before
getting into line at the stamp window and
not keep a whole line Of people. who may
be In a hurry. waiting for their stamps
while you make the stamp clerk or registry
clerk weigh each OF your parcels.
Mark your name and address plainly on
each wrapper, and thus insure safe return
if you should make any mistake in the
postage or direction.

There are few more interesting things
among the perils and wonders of the
ocean than icebergs. They are interest
ing not only for their gigantic size, their
fantastic shapes, their exceeding beauty
and their ability to cool great masses of
water and air in their neighborhood, but
also for the manner in which they array
themselves.
Icebergs often show tendency to
form both clusters and long lines, and
these groupings may arise from the eff
fects both of ocean currents and storms
Some very singular lines Of bergs, ex-
tending for many hundreds of miles
east of Newfoundland, are shown on an
iceberg chart issried by the photographic
Office in Washington. Two of these
cross one another, each keeping on its
independent course after the crossing.
In several instances parallel lines of
bergs leave long spaces of clear water
between them.
The Prince Of Monaco, who has taken
a lively interest in experiments with
floating bottles in the ocean, urges in an
address to the British association, the
desirability of more systematic study Of
ocean tides and currents. A record of
the groupings and alignments Of ice
bergs in the North Atlantic might be OF
some use in such an investigation.
