ICEBERGS
Create the Banks" from Labrador to
the Bay of Fundy.

When an iceberg is launched upon its
long journey, its bottom parts are barna-
cled with sand, boulders and other detritus
gathered from the land surface over which
it has made its tedious march to the sea,
writes Alfred johnson, in the World Today.
This burden it gradually casts off as it
melts while drifting down along our con-
tinental seaboard. As a result OF the de-
posits thus made through countless cen
turtles, combined with the PRODUCTS of
erosion carried seaward by the rivers. the
sea-bed for many miles off shore has been
gradually filled up, creating those vast.
submerged plateaus, known as banks,
which extend from Labrador to the Bay
of Fundy. and form the breeding grounds
of innumerable shoals of cod, herring and
other valuable food fishes. In this a
the bergs have performed an economic
service of incalculable value, laying the
foundation for one of. the worlds most
important productive industries, and af-
fording a means Of livelihood to those
hardy bands Of captains courageous" who
each year reap the harvests Of the sea.
The bergs serve n further economic pur-
pose in that to their tempering influence
are largely due the climatic conditions
prevailing over a great part of the interior
of North America.

SHOES in EGYPT
HOW AMERICAN TRADE MAY
BE EXTENDED.
Oriental Ideas About Footwear Differ
from Occidental, and This Fact Should
Be Taken into Consideration.

WASHINGTON, Sept. N.--The opening
for American boots and shoes, already
good, would be far more promising IL
the American manufacturer would show
some willingness to adapt his goods to
the Egyptian taste instead of endeavoring
10 mold the Egyptian taste to mis- goods,
according to a report made by our con-
sd general at Cairo. II one of the we'll
known houses handling medium-priced
shoes would establish stores in Alex
andri.- and Cairo. thy would find the
venture a profitable one. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that their clientele
would be composed, for the most part,
Bf the Europeans resident in Egypt-there
are nearly $1,000 in Alexandria alune-and
of tourists. 1t is difficult II not impos-
sibfe TO sell a shoe as built for American
or British custom TO an oriental.
The oriental and occidental IDEAS Of good
form in footwear are as wide apart as
kkse poles. The fashionable Egyptian or
Ievantine tenant &. long, narrow, and

Brown button boots are In great de-
Ulanu. as IL the congress gamer With
elastic sides. An quantity of
white shoes are sold each year in Egypt
AZ prices ranging from 81 10 50 per pair.
Local shoe dealers inform me that the So
Eafed Mckay sole. as used by most
American manufacturers, is not fanoied
by the Egyptian trade. the British chan
nef'' being considered more satisfa Glory.
Shoes having Mckay soles made on
British channels would, however, give
entire satisfaction.
A certain shoe importer in Alexandria
recently told me that last summer he
disposed of 5000 pairs of Americau-made
white shoes alone, aud had the form and
channel been made according TO Egyptian
tastes, he could have sold 10000 pairs
without difficulty. Another shop in Alex
sndria sells about 5000 pairs of American
shoes per annum. An agency might be
placed with reliable merchants in Alex
sndria and Cairo for some make Of boot
tree.
There is also a good opening for shoe
pollshes and pastes and for shoemakers'
supplies Of every description. As the
shoemakers in Alexandria are almost en-
sirely Greeks or Italians, it would be
necessary TO correspond with them in
French or Italian. A list Of the shoe
makers and dealers in Alexandria and
vicinity will be furnished TO anyone who
may be interested.

The Spanish peasant is the most polished
gentleman in the world, but the provincial
dandy is not a pleasant person. He does
not limit himself to admiring one (Which
might be endured; he laughs at one. Since
the foreign city hat is different from the
Spanish own hat, the Spanish town hat
laughs and points its finger; even a lady
hat Will do this. 1t never occurs to the
Spanish provincial headgear that it is very
funny, too-that is because a Spaniard is
