FRESH SALT WATER ICE.
Lengthy Exposure to the Suns Rays
Makes Iceberg's Surface
Fresh

II Is often asserted by mariners that
the apex of the larger icebergs are en-
tirely free from saline matter and that
this is conclusive evidence that the berg
originally forms on dry land. proving
the existence of a great continent
around the poles.
IL may not be generally known. how
ever. says the English Fish Trades Ga
zette. that salt water ice II exposed Ia
heat-to the summer SUMS thereby
freed from salt
nr Hamer quotes the experience OF
arctic explorers-Nansen and the duke
Of the AbruzZi-who describe the min
eral salts OF sea water as being
separated out like hoar frost upon the
surface when the temperatures OF from
80 degrees 10 40 degree centigrade are
recorded. and who note the almost COM
plete freedom of saline taste of the
water obtained from projecting ice
shafts which have been exposed to the
rays OF the sun during a summer. and
are thus freed from the greater part
of their salt"

LOBSTER MORTALITY HIGH.
Out of Brood of 10, 900 Rarely More
Than One or Two Young Ones
Reach Maturity.

A lobster lays thousands of eggs, most
OF which hatch. but few ever live TO grow
up. This, says an article on Mature and
Science" in st. Nicholas, is not the
fault of the mother, for she carries them
about with her for nearly a year. and
with admirable instinct guards them as
she does her own life. When the young
are set free. her duty IS done, for they
must then shift for themselves. Though
hardly larger than mosquitoes being
about one-third OF an inch long, the little
ones leave their parents on the bottom
and swim toward the light-to the sur
face, where, from one TO two months, IL
fortune favors them, they lead a free,
rowing life. The open sea is poor nurs-
cry for such weaklings, which becomes
the sport of every storm and the prey
OF numberles hungry mouths. Out Of a
brood of 10000 II would be a rare chance
for more than one or two Holsters to
reach maturity, or finally to end their
career In the kitchen or the chatting
dish.
