.Inne.s Coon of Icebercs

Icebergs have been claiming the at
tention of the photographic office. The
chart lately issued shows the locations
of the icebergs reported to the United
States photographic Office during the
month of June for q period OF seven
years. There are several places where
icebergs appear TO be the most numer-
Gus, notably of Cape Race and on the
tail of the Great Banks, but the region
between these points is comparatively
unfreQuented, aud there may have been
many icebergs which were not reported.
There is no uniformity in the number
Of icebergs: there were doubtless many
which were never seen, and some OF
those which were seen were probably
reported more than once. The graphic
presentation of the reports OF iceoerbs
seen conveys. a general idea Of the nor
NAL quantity and position OF icebergs
during the month of June, and the ex-
treme limit may serve as practical

be remembered that this chart is merely

orchestra leader at the theatre where
naughty Sibyl was appearing made her

bassoon at Days. Even the street-ear
horses would snort nervousIy when
they passed billboard picture Of Sibyl.
But what was Sibyl compared TO the

he that first concluded that the public
