Big Chunk of Ice.
New York Sun

New York Sun. A
h Royal Geographical society Of
London Is said TO be promoting the in
,erests of the antarctic exploration, and
ia efforts are likely 10 result In sending
a we'll equipped expedition TO south po-
lar waters, TO begin its researches in the
season of ls97-9S. 1t Is said that a Bel
clan expedition viii also occupy that
field at the same time, but the German
enterprise In the same direction, though
n has arranged an admirable scientific
program. still lacks the money to carry
q ont. There is no doub that south
noJar exploration will be resumed at an
early day after over half a century OF
inaction.
We have often heard OF the enormous
ice masses that are found floating Ia
those waters, but a story that ii. j. Bun
brought home from h cruise OF the
steamer Antarctic in iSsi-sS related u,
,he largest chunk OF ice that has ever
been seen afoat. Mr.. Bull Is a trust
worthy man and has written a book
about that notable cruise, when the
Antarctic. in search for the right whale,
pushed south 20 the coast OF South Vic
tcrla Land. supposed TO be part OF a con-
tlnent. which had not been visited be-
fore since Sir James Ross discovered IL.
Mr.. Bull says tina one day they sight
ed a long island, fla on the top, but rls-
ing In one place TO a greater height.
Sailing along at a distance they found
that ii was about fifty miles in length.
No land in that position was marked on
the charts. Drawing nearer, the cap
tain announced that they had found
new land. the crew vas called up TO
greet the discovery with a "hurrah,'
grog was served all round, and the
( island was christened Svend Foyn. in
honor Of the famous Norwegian whaier
Of that name.
There was eve disappointment a
little later when IL was found that the
big tract was merely a floating icebere
of hitherto unprecedented Dimensions
Its dirty gray color. probably produced
by the sitting ashes OF a volcano, was
responsible for their mistake. The berg
was about fifty miles long. of unknown
width. and as coo feet OF IL rose above
the water, II must have extended abou,
1900 feet into the sea depths.
1t was suggested ar the Berne geo
graphical congress several years age
that as likely as not some OF the lands
seen only at a distance and marked on
our south polar charts. were nothing bu'
great icebergs from the antarctic CONT
nent. This probability Is strengthened
by the interesting incident which Mr.
Bull has recorded.

Interesting Experiment.

A peculiar scientific experiment has
been made with the famous engine SO
OF the New York Central Railroad at
the shop at West Albany. Some
months ago this large engine, which in
the opinion of many well-informed rail-
road men exceis even the famous 800,
wac eai1en into slic shops and complete
ly oyerhauled. Ii was taken apart
completely, and every part Of the IN
CINE, from the massive driving wheels
70 the very smallest bolt and nut, was
separately weighed. The heavy por-
tons were weighed in the shops and
the small parts We're taken Il a Water
viiet avenue pharmacy, where they
We're weighed ON the pharmacists
scales.
The greatest care vas taken by the
machinists under the direction of Mas
ter Mechanic Buchanan to see that the
weighing was accurate. When every
part of the engine had been weighed a
force of the best skilled mechanics was
put at work to reassemble the engine.
When it was complete again il was put
into active service.
A short time ago the engine was
taken back 10 the shops aud mechanics
were put TO work dissecting ii again.
Once more every part was weighed.
The scales Of the pharmacist was
brought into service again. When ev-
cry portion had been weighed the rec
ord was compared with the former one.
Then Master Mechanic Buchanan knew
just how much the engine had lost in
weight through the wear Of a known
amount of work. The records of the
weights of the separate parts also
showed which paris were subjected 20
the most wear.
The test cost many hundreds of dol
lars, but the New York Central was
willing to spend the money in order
that 1t might be able 10 know what
parts Of an engine wear out most
quickly and In what ratio the several
parts wear O1rt. The exact figures have
not been made public. There is no doubt
that they will be interesting to mecnan-
les and scientists.-Albany Express.
