Derelicts and icebergs are among the

more formidable of the two, because
there are more of them at certain sea-

of these monsters may heaye in sight
An ordinary iceberg shows one-ninth of
its bulk above water During the pres
ent season a number Of these masses Of
Ice-at least 100 feet high-have been
encountered by steamships. 1t is scarcely
possible to imagine an iceberg with 900
feet of its bulk below water. One cap

One Of the greatest dangers from ice
bergs is being in their vicinity when
they turn over. The sea currents wash
and melt them into all sorts of fantastic
figures and points. They melt below so
much more rapidly than above that the
center of gravity becomes disturbed, and
they turn with tremendous force Some
times the disturbance is almost equal to
a tidal wave and is sufficient to upset

At the corner of Fourth avenue and

entered crowded outgoing car. The
conductor knew who she was, and that
she resided in Glenwood. He suspected
that she had made mistake, and that
she thought she was ON a Second avenue
car, so he crowded up the aisle and po-
litely inquired:
"Where are you going, lady?"
That's my business" she tartly re-
piled.
The conductor said nothing more, and
the car sped along through the dark,
crossing the Monongahela through the
covered Tenth street bridge and rapidly
putting space between it and Glenwood.
When it entered the big Knoxville in
cline elevator and stopped, nobody said
a word. After minutes wait up the
precipice it started, leaving the spar
king electric lights far below.

wood woman to the conductor, "where
is this car going?"
"That's my business" dryly replied
the conductor. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.
