Drifting Monsters from the Arcfics
Alarm Sea csptains.
II the sharps Of the sea are to. be be
loved, 1897 win 60 down In history as
one Of the greatest years for icebergs
~ modern times.. Many dangerous
bergs have been reDorted.
The wintei: Of 189 was famous sea-
son for bergs. as one vessel passed fifty
within radius Of 200 miles. The bergs
OF that year. however, were not dan
gerous, being soft and badly cut up
by the action OF the sea. The year OF
1886 was the most famous OF them all
for the floating mountains, and scores
OF vessels were sent to the bottom by
running into them during the heavy
logs which make navigation or the
Banks 80 dangerous at all times.
Few shippers, who have seen scores
and scores Of bergs, know that these
monsters are hundreds. and, perhaps,
thousands OF years old. The inception,
birth and growth Of an Iceberg is one
OF the most curious freaks OF nature,
and much about them Il stilI an unex.
piained science.
Greenland is the home OF nearly all
the lcebergs which terrorize the officers
OF trnnsatlantic vessels, as those form
"a further north rarely break loose from
their Icy moorings. Nearly the whole
Island OF Greenland Is covered with an
immense sea Of Ice many thousands OF
feet thick, commonly called anice cap.
The SHOWS Of each year, falling on this

adding to the thickness and solldity of
the Ice cap end ezerting tremendous
pressure on the solid mass. Wherever

Coal Production.


The compilation of the statistics OF
coal production in the United States iu
1896, which has Just been completed
by Statician Il. w. Parker, of the
United States geological survey, shows
that the product in 1896 was 100. 500, :
$50 short tons, valued at SLIT, E57, 749.
against 1913. III, $50 short tons, valued
at S197, 799, 043 in 1895, decrease OF
2,477. 57l short tons in amount, and OF
50, 241, 394 in value. The decrease in
product was entirely in that of Penn
sylvania anthracite. The output Of
bituminous coal shows an increase of
about one and three-quarter million
sons. The anthracite product OF Penn
sylvania decreased nearly four and o
quarter millions. The bituminous
production of Pennsylvania and Ohio
shows decrease, while that of Illinois
and West Virginia increased. These
four States yield about 70 per cent. OF
the total bituminous production. The
other important States showing in
creased production were Alabama, Ar.
kansas, Colorado. Indian Territory,
Kentucky, Maryland and Texas, while
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Mon
tana and New Mexico, Tennessee,
Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wyo-
ming showed decreased production.

and the anxiety was relieved only by the
announcement tonight that practically ev-
