be translated ''lazy-footed." One Of
them, when timed, took exactly thirty
two minutes and three seconds in

a roach that it was endeavoriag to

Great Masses Move Against Wind
and Vessels Are Moored to Them.
It has been found that the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland
make at times a wide difference in the
direction of the drift of icebergs and
that of the fiat or pan ice. which, hav-
ing no great depth, is governed in its
motions by the surface currents and
the winds.
The icebergs, the larger part OF
which are submerged to a great depth,
says the New York Herald. follow
only the movements OF the ocean
water as a whole and are Influenced
by the winds. Thus a huge iceberg
may often be seen majestically main
tanning its slow advance in opposition
to the wind and across the general
motion of the fields Of fiat ice sur
rounding it. The sealers often take
advantage of this fact by mooring
their vessels to an iceberg to prevent
their ship drifting to leeward. The
movement of these great mountains
Of ice is practically irresistible.

perseverance, they finally agreed to
adjust their time tables by the begin
ming of the month. Thereafter it was
smooth sailing. The guide continued
to grow and prosper and to make
itself a necessity.
These early railway guides make
interesting reading. The trains are
described as irst-class, second-class,
mixed, fast and mail. Third-class
travellers had the choice of sitting on
the roofs or in open wagons resem-
bling cattle trucks. Gentlemen riding
in their own carriages were charged
s~econd-class fare. Baggage was car
ried on the roof, and passengers who
sat there were cautioned to wear
their overcoats and provide them
selves with gauze s~pectacles. First.
