The excavation Of the Of Carthage
promises to yield valuable results. The
explorers Of the Moundof st. Louis have
come upon a wall composed entirely of
large amphorR bedded in earth, the num-
bers Of which run vaguely into thou-
sands.
A sinking of the soil has not left many
intact, but the most interesting portions,
the stamp of inscription which showed
the name of the maker and the date of
the wine, can generally be recovered in
perfect preservation.
The most curious find, however, re-
corded so far is that OF large fragments
Of q whales skeleton among the ruins Of
what Is supposed to be the capitol. Al
though completely buried In the earth,
this was not q marine deposit, nor even
q relic of the primitive days when Pro.
tens, az the poet says, sPecus egit altos

The mystery is cleared up In q letter
Of st. Augustine to his friend Deogra-
tias, written in 408 A. D., wherein he

ous, and so every Greenland glacier is
constantly discharging bergs into the
Arctic sea to float southwark and harass
and sometimes destroy the shipping that
dots the surface of the warmer oceans.
The sight of a piece of ice as big as half
q dozen cathedrals falling into the water
must be worth going to Greenland to
zee, but one would not like to be
afioat In an ordinary vessel near enough
10 feel the waves that must be ne
ated. The splash must indeed be the
grandest part of the whole business, and
III lis qnite possible that not even a great
Atlantic liner would survive contact
with it. The glaciers OF Alaska are
larger than of Greenland, and SO the
Pacific icebergs outclass those OF the At
lantic.
Owing 10 the great specific gravity OF
ice a much larger part of every floating
piece Is below than above the waters
surface, the proportion being some
thing like eight to one. tt hardly seems
possible that an iceberg 200 feet high
can reach 1000 feet into the briny
deep, and ID Ia not likely that it does.
Those who have considered the matter
have often lost sight of the fact that 1t
is not eight times al much apparent
bulk that floats below as above the line,
but eight times the weight. Naturally
the submerged part of q berg is proper
tionally heavier In respect 10 bulk, for
the exposed ice is generally scanned and
h~oneycombed by the rays Of the sun,
and It's highest parts are often mere pin
nacles. The accompanying cut viii show
how 3 berg may show almost as much
I'm height above the water line as 1t has
depth below and yet preserve the pro.
portion OF eight 10 as to sumner
gence.
OF course icebergs are fresh, and when
they melt they produce fresh water.
There are records OF ships that haverun
short of drinking water procuring new
supplies from melting bergs. There Ii
at least one recorded instance Of snch
an attempt that resulted most disas-
trously to the daring sailors who sought
90 get water. The berg was well honey

ICE SEEN BY LA ToURAINE.

ume5 for the stanchness of our modern
craft and the seamanship of the officers
who command them, though it may not
be that much of the immunity nova
days enjoyed from destruction by ice is
due to mere size.
The steamer Pacific of the ill starred
Collins line, that was never heard of aft
err leaving the port of Liverpool for New
York one June day in 1856, is believed
to have run against an iceberg, but
there never was any definite proof, or,
in fact, any proof at all, that such was
the case beyond the circumstance that
not SO much as a spar On q piece of a
boat belonging to the vessel was ever
found floating on the surface of the
waves, and no ordinary marine disaster
win so absolutely blot out of existence
a vessel of the size and character of an
ocean steamer.
Although q swift moving steamer is
likely to suffer greater immediate dam
age from collision with ice than d sailing
vessel, owing to the greater speed with
which a steamer moves, the chances of
getting away from the danger after the
collision are vastly superior In the case
of a self propelled vessel. The steamer
also is apt to fare better than the sailer
when q region of bergs is unwittingly
entered, because the steamer can move
In comparative Independence Of either
wind or current, while the sailer cannot.
But it needs hardly to be said that mas
tiers of steamships are quite as shy Of
approaching too near floating islands OF
ice as are masters of sailing craft, and
every reader of the newspapers can re-
member the publication of many dis
patches telling of disastrous contact be-
tween bergs and transatlantic liners
within the last few years.
1t is the good ship Ems OF the North
German Lloyd line that has suffered
most severely from ice so far this year.
She was SO badly injured about her pro-
peller that she had to go to the Azores
for repairs, but before her mishap many
more bergs and much larger fields of ice
than are usually seen I'm the north At
lantic were reported. The French liner
La Touraine reports vast quantities Of
field ice and exceptionally enormous
bergs One of the latter is said to have
been about 600 feet long and 200 feet
high, Immediately after the sighting Of
which the vessels course was changed,

quite so large as the first, but still OF
such dimensions as to inspire a most

spect. An hour later an area of field ice
many hundreds Of acres in extent was
een and actually run into by the ship,
and directly she was fairly hemmed In
by field and berg ice. The engines were
stopped for the night then, and the
ships electric searchlight was turned
upon the frozen masses that were float
ing about the craft for the double pur-

stead C thick wrought iron and some OF
the bosg1 frames were broken like fragile
pine sticks the commander succeeded Ia
safely making the port Of SC. Jobns
some 20 hours after the accident. The
excitement among the passengers inst
after the shock of collision is described
by those on board as having been in
tense, and very naturally, but the turmoil
could not have been much greater than
it was In the offices OF most OF the morn
ing newspapers published in Atlantic
coast cities. The first dispatches relative
10 the accident were received late at
night, when most of the other current
news for the next days issue had been
edited, compressed and put into type.
In many cases some of the pages Of the
newspapers had been made up and stere-
clipped. One does not need to be q maker
of newspapers to understand that it'd
ings OF III ice disaster to q crack Allan
tic liner would take precedence of all
other news, and that almost frantic ef-
forts would be made by every live man
aging editor to Guido all competitors in
getting out the fullest and most com
plete accounts of the accident The cable
to 81. Johns was hot with messages for
the rest of the night. Cyclopedias and
files and every possible source Of infor.
nation regarding icebergs and previous
similar collisions were overhauled, and
columns and columns of news that had
before been considered good enough to
print were either entirely discarded or
boiled down TO small fractions of their
original bulk.
Perhaps the most interesting facts rel
alive to icebergs are those concerning
their origin. All the big fioaters of the
north Atlantic come from Greenland,
though Spitzbergen furnishes many
small bergs. Greenland is believed to
be nj vast sea of ice, or, as scientists
who affect the French delight to call it,
a ''mer de glace."
The yearly fall Of snow in that DESC
late region is very great, and as the
warm weather of the summer is not suf-
fcient to melt the snow it's depth has
reached hundreds If not thousands of
feet, and the lower layers are under a
pressure of many tons to the square inch.
The effect of great pressure upon now
is to solidify it into hard and COM
pact ice, and this ice, lying ON the slop-
ing side of the mountain chain that is
supposed to exist in the central part Of
Greenland, resolves itself into glaciers or
ice rivers many times larger than those
which have helped to make the Alpine
regions Of Europe famous. When snffi-
cient weight of ice has accumulated, the
glacier begins asliding movement along
the line of some arctic ravine toward
the sea-, and when the frozen stream
reaches the water it breaks off in huge
pieces, which float away and are known
as icebergs. The movement of q glacier
varies from flew inches to about 90 feet
