ANTARCTIC ICE.
1a Differs Considerably From That OF tho
Northern REGIONS.

rortnern ltcEtOnS.
Tho difference in the formation of
arctic and antarctic ice, as is we'll
known, is very great. While the north
ern bergs mostly consist of largo ice
mass running up into numberless towers
and arches resembling the mountain
peaks which surrounded tho glaciers
from which they were torn, the antarc-
tic bergs arc solid masses of floating ice,
with perpendicular walls and an I'M
broken plateau on the top
All showed distinctly whether they
wero broken from the large southerly
barrier or discharged from the glaciers
of Victoria Land. All the barrier bergs
had very distinct blue lines across their
walls, indicating tho annual growth by
snowfall. These lines were Of course
not to be found on the glacier ice. The
lattor also showed moro likeness to the
northern ice than did tho former. The
peaks and towers Of tho arctic iceberss
are supposed to be formed by the influ-
ence of ocean currents wearing away
tho softer part of tho ice mass under
water until the natural law of gravita-
ton forces it to upset.
But why have the antarctic icebergs
different appearance? 1t is certain
that i'll tho antarctic waters there are
also currents. Yet even icebergs that
have gone as far north as tho south of
New Zealand have all maintained tho
marks of their antarctic origin. I can
not see any other reason for this dissimi.
larity between tho bergs of the north
and those of the south but that the arc
tic icebergs, rs rule, must pass through
chimes which i'll temperature rapidly
change from one extreme to another,
and the icobergs take much longer time
IL floating southwark than do the ant
arctic icebergs i'll advancing northward,
and thus, as q rule, the northern ice
bergs oxist much longer than those Of
the antarctic.--C e. Borchgrevink in
Century.

where there arc several large lumber mills

which arc heated by wood fire, tho gas
from tho rotorts passing into series of
coils, and thonce into the purifiers, which
are similar to those used for coal gas.

A Story OF s..;gfman.

Senator John Sherman tolls in his Rec
elections good story about ono Eich-
mann, n courier who conducted him
through Italy. He was a loyal fellow, but
ignorant of colloquial English.
Mr.. Oates of Alabama, u leading NOM
her of the house of representatives, was
travelling with his wife and friends on tho
same general route that I was. Wo fire.
ouently met and had pleasant and friendly
chats. Eichmann noticed our intimacy
and was very polite to Mr.. Oates.
One day, as my party and 1 were about
TO enter a car, some one said:
sis not that John Sherman"
Mr.. Oates said, in the hearing of Eioh-
mann, eyes; that is Sherman, " and added
% O compliment, "Ho was good watch
dog in the treasury
Eichmann, catching tho phrase watch
dog, applied to me, regarded it rs gross
insult. He rushed into my car, his face
alamo with passion and his English moro
confused than usual.
"That man." said he, pointing to Oates,
twas not your friend. He called you, sir,
watchdog-yes, sir, watchdog. He
has but ono arm, sir, one arm, or would
havo chastised him."
had great difficulty in persuading him
what "watchdog" meant; that 1T was
intended as n compliment, not as an in
cult

Tho Undergraduates, oxford.

AS for tho modern undergraduate, as q
rule, he is tho most quiet and pcaccnblo of
mortals, and has long since given up such
violent delights as wrenching off door
Knockers, assaulting policemen or squar-
ing up to bargces. Not that he is the least
deficient in spirit or courage, as those who
have watched tho football matches in tho
parks will readily testify, but except ut
such licensed saturnalia as college ''rng"
or bump supper, ho keeps his voice and

would do credit to q member of Whites or
Arthur's. Anything like loudness or os-
tentntion is vetoed rs bad taste, and il
may DO added that his dress is rs quiet as
his department..
Nothing indeed is more remarkable than
the contrast between the costume of tho
undergraduate Of half u century ago, rs
depicted by Leach or Cuthbort Bedo, and
that of his successor of the present day.
The velvet coats, tho gaudy scarfs, tho ON
broiderod waistcoats and tho trousers
with patterns of oriental gorgeousness"
worn by the insufferablo coxcombs Of the
year 1915 have been replaced bya costume
which, from tho Norfolk jacket to tho
boots and CATERS is sober and carefully
blended harmony in gray or brown. 1t is
only when he puts on u smoking suit, If
he has one, or equips himself for the river,
that the undergraduato-so to speak
PUSHES into color. Then indeed it Is q case
of quot homincs, tot dolores. -Blackwood's
