that the doctor-I went tell you his name

ANTARCTIC ICE.
1t Differs Considerably from That of the
Northern Regions.

1t Differs Considerably from That OF the
Northern Regions.
The 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 a large ice
mass running up into numberless tow
ers and arches resembling the noun
tain peaks which surround the glaciers
from which they were torn, the Ant
arctic berg are solid masses of floating
ice, with perpendicular walls, and an
unbroken plateau on the top.
All showed plainly whether they were
broken from the large southerly bar
rier or discharged from the glaciers OF
Victoria Land. All the barrier bergs
had very distinct blue lines across their
walls, indicating the annual growth by
snowfall. These lines were, of course,
not to be found on the glacier ice. The
latter also showed more likeness to the
northern ice than did the former. The
peaks and towers of the Arctic icebergs
are supposed to be formed by the in
fuence of ocean currents wearing away
the softer part of the ice-mass under
water, until the natural law of gravfta-
ton forces it to upset.
But why have the Antarctic icebergs
a different appearance? 1t is certain
that in the Antarctic waters there are
also currents. Yet even icebergs that
bave gone as far north as the south of
New Zealand have all maintained the
marks of their Antarctic origin. can
not see any other reason for this dis
similarity between the bergs of the
north and those of the south but that
the Arctic icebergs, as a rule, must pass
through chimes which in temperature
rapidly change from one extreme to
another, and the icebergs take much
longer time in floating southwark than
do the Antarctic icebergs in advancing
northward, and thus, az q rule, the
northern ieeherga exist much longer

THERE is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For n great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
