Icebercs in Glittering Array.

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 a 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 befgs, ex.
tending for many hundreds of miles
east of Newfoundland, are shown on an
iceberg chart issued 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 ar
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 investigations

THE TOAD AND IT'S JEWEL.
Interesting Superstitions About a Very
Harmless Little Animal.

Interesting Superstitions About a Very
Harmless Little NINA
Many remarkable legends and folklore
stories cluster around the natural his
tory of the common garden toad. All
early writers on the characteristic hab-
it's of this harmless little creature make
it a point to never allude to it without
interfering a few c%autionary notes IN
its extremely venomous bite" or the
awful effects of ''inhaling the direful
creatures breath" The facts in the case
are that it cannot bite at all, and if it
should it has no venom with which to
inject the wound. When irritated the
toad may exhale an offensive secretion
by means of follicles on the neck and
other parts of the body, but to suppose
that this secretion is poisonous is the
height of folly.
Another toad belief-one that was rife
300 years ago-was that the ugly little
batrachian's head was set with a price.
less jewel. Shakespeare alludes to this
curious belief where he says:
"Sweet are the uses of adversely,
which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
YEA yet a precious jewel i'll its head
The belief in the "toadstone" was not
only current in England and the other
countries Of Great Britain, but was
known to- learned men as one Of the
popular fallacies of all Europe. In
Hungary it was believed that the toad
ate dust and drank dew as his only food
and drink. The action Of the dew on
the dust and the dust On the dew was
supposed to cause a secretion to form i'll
the animals stomach which was vomited
up each spring during melting time.
The Jaques de Mahen collection OF
oddities at Rouen has a tray containing
a dozen or fifteen of these so called ''toad,
stones" But, as limited above, the Brit
ish belief was that the ''toadstone" was
to be found only in the head of the warty
little animal. Fenton, who lived and
wrote in the Sixteenth century, says,
'There is to be found in the heads of old
and great toads a stone they call boraS
or steton, which, being used as rings,
gives a forewarning of venom"
Lupton, writing about the year 1888,
says: 1.-THE %crepandia or toadstone is very
valuable. Touching any part envenomed
by the bite of arat, wasp, spider or other
poisonous beast ceases the pain and
swelling thereof" During that uneer,
tain period Of time elassed as the Mid.
die Ages people in general believed that
the toad had the power Of charming its
prey, as well as men and larger crea.
lures. In classical times it was thought
that no man could live who had the mis-.
fortune to be looked squarely in the eyes
by a toad! In some respects this latte,
belief partakes Of the nature of the lie
gend Of the b~asilisk.--St. Louis Repuh'

CABINET MAKING.
Mr.. Cleveland and the Correspondents Ar
In the RusIneas.


In the Business.
NEW York, Nov. 12-It is stated that
President-e elect Cleveland has already
begun to think about his cabinet. All
forecasts SO far printed have made Mr..
Cleveland laugh. Al friend of Mr..
Whitney said hat the latter would not
be minister to England.
MI. Cleveland had among his callers
Mr.. Patrick A. Collins, of Boston, who
saw Mr.. Cleveland on Thursday also.
This is regarded by many as indicating
that General Collins; is in the ranks Of
cabinet possibilities, and close up to
where the band is.
Don M. Dickinson is taking a rest
after his campaigning. MI. Dickinson
said that he was not a candidate for any
Office in the gift of a president, at home
or abroad.
'Some people may assert" said he,
''that it is in bad taste to decline a thing
before it has been rendered, but Mr..
Cleveland understands me perfectly on
that point. l will take nothing. My
ambitions lie entirely in my profession"
Since the announcement of the candi-
dacy of Edward Murphy, Jr., for the
senate politicians have come to accept
his election as a matter of course.
W. Bourke Cochran said that he WAS
not a candidate, that he was satisfied
with his present position, and that Mr..
Murphy would be the senator il he
wanted to be.
There is an increasing interest in the
future relations of Mr.. CleLeiand aud
Senator Hill. Most of the latter's friends
when questioned say they know nothing
whatever about 1t.
Democratic headquarters are still
nominally open. The campaign COM
mittee will conclude all business next
week. Colonel Tracey, the head of the
press bureau, md Sergeant-at-A rms
Oliver are still III charge of the ground
floor.
More details of the Democratic ''still
hunt" in Onio are narrated here by a
morning paper. The inspiration came
to the D, mocrats III Speaker Crisp's room
in the Hoffman house. james Neal. of
Oiio, entered, it is said, and spoke OF tie
fact that the Rel ubi;cans had deserted
the state, feeling that it Was
safe, and this would be Il good time to
make an effort to carry it. liz. In"s-
ton was Lii L,fnra Chairman Luirity
and Cnmlai.n Chairman DAA.nson.
Harrity, it is stated, jumped ut the
chance and induced Senator Blice to
make the effort, furnishing the funds
for necessary expenses.
Mr.. Dickinson took Ex-Governor
Campbell off the slump in the East and
sent him back among the Buckeyes.
The Democrats had a clear fielo, be.
cause Mr.. Hahn, of the Republican
national committee, had scattered Sec
rotary Charles Foster, Governor Nc.
Kinley, Senator Sherman and ex
Governor Foraker to other states.
