Where the Icebergs Are.

fToin tne Transcript.
1t is the icebergs that make Labrador
fascinating. They greet you when you
steam out Of the Straits of Belle Isle, the
northern gateway of the Gulf of ST. Law
renee and head northward up the coast of
Labrador. They come floating from the
north, an endless procession, all shapes
fantastic, colossal. statuesuue. even gro
tesque-a magnificent assenblage of crys-
tai domeS and turretS and marble fortreSSeS.
Your steamer picks its way carefully among
them lest they be jealous of her intrusion
and fall over upon her. And in the midst
of this glorious company you come to Bat
tie Harbor.
me settlement is on an island perhaps
200 yards in diameter which is the outpost
of larger island. and plows the waves of
the ocean like the prov of some gigantic
ocean liner. In storms the spray leaps al
most across it's ledgy surface. A cove hides
behind the, bluff sea wall. and on it's rim
nestles a tiny village of wllite-washed cot
tages. You climb the hill to the lookout
Away to the north and south spreads out
the vast procession of the icebergs. They
come out of the north. the fog surrounding
their tops and streaming like smoke from
their pnnacles. They move slowly south
ward, perhaps three or four miles day.
Some go directly south down the Newfound-
land coast. some turn west as they APP
proach the straits and are swept by the
tide into the Gulf of ST. Lawrence.
Day by day from the hilltop you note
their slow progress. Each day sees new
forms emerging on the northern horizon,
while old. familiar bulks are lost to view
in the south. Each months icebergs are
natives of a more northern region. Hence
the bergs of the late summer, though
fewer in number are individually larger
than those of the earlier part of the season,
because they have been longer in the max
ing, coming from further north.
June's icebergs are Labrador's own prod
uct. and have broken off from the ice field
that has filled the bays and extended far
into the ocean in the previous winter. July
bergs come from Baffin Land while the
huge bulks of August are natives of Kane
bay and the far northern rim of Greenland,
wnere man has never been

Delaware and Chesapeake Canal.

The Delaware and Chesapeake canal, con-
Meeting the Delaware river with the head
waters of Chesapeake bay. has been closed
for the season for annual repairs and should
no ice form, it is expected that navigation
through the waterway will be resumed in
about a month. A considerable portion of
the hard coal used in this city has been
coming here from Philadelphia by way of
the canal, and until the canal is reopened
the coal supply will be brought here by
barge from Baltimore or by rail from Phila-
delphia and elsewhere. Numbers of YES
sells carrying railway ties from this city to
Philadelphia use the canal which saves
them long trip down Chesapeake bay, up
the coast and up the Delaware bay and
river in order to reach their destination.

Yardarms Among Trees.
rom the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
Representative Reyburn, in speaking the
other day of the early recognition or Phlla-
delphia's natural advantages as maritime
port. says that that was one of the fea-
tures which led William Penn to select it
a. the site for a city. When those old-tfme
yovagers brought their ships into Dock
creek they were surprised to see that the
vardarms of their vessels stuck out into
the trees which grew upon the banks,
condition they had never encountered on
the Thames or elsewhere, as in most ports
with which they were iafniiiar the water
OF the shore was so shallow that even ..le
small vessels of that day had to be an
chored out in the stream and their cargoes
taken off in small boats.
This condition still prevails to a consider
able degree along the city's waterfront, the
securing action of the rivers current being
,,I1,onia shore bv the conformation of the
hanks at the point where the Pennsylvania
railroad bridge crosses the stream.

Unmusical King of Italy.

z. T. .. OF IlOiluOn.
Victor Emmanuel has his hobby. AS the
Prince of Wales has devoted himself to
phlately, so the King of Italy has given
much of his spare time to the collection
of coins. His majesty's collection of II
coins of his own country alone amounts TO
over 10000 specimens, with a catalogue of
nearly 35, 600 slips. He is a member of the
Numismatic Society of London, and has re-
ceived the societys gold medal in recogni-
ton of his distinguished services to the
pursuit. Strangely enough, King Victor
hath no music in himself" much to the
regret of his musical subjects, of which
there are so many in thas land of sunshine
and song. His majesty took a leading part
in the establishment of "a society for the
encouragement of agriculture throughout
the world.

Unspeakable was the relief of the remorse-
full major when Sheridan turned up that
night at the princes dinner table. How
how-how is this?'' he stammered. I
thought I had killed you.' No, my good
fellow replied Sheridan; Il wasn't good
enough to go to the world above; nor as yet
quite bad enough to go to that below:
thereupon l deferred my departure. But,
say, Hanger, didn't die well?'' 1t was then
explained to the mystified major how he
had been hoaxed by the prince, who had
arranged that the pistols should be charged
only with powder.
