THE ICEBERG.

THE ICEBERG.
am the Iceberg!
Before man was, was;
Since the sea was, l have been;
When first the sun, came with it's light
To rend the veil OF frozen night
And with it's warmth to touch the
earth
And give to primal life its BIRTH
u brought me here,
Child of the Ice and of the>Sun,
And made the sea
For me to wander in.
Since my beginning,
Made again of ice and snow,
Unchanged, l come and 60.
What first l was, l still remain,
Primeval, plain
And unimproved
AS in the past l was, l am today
Still of the same primordial way.
In ages gone the sea was mine alone
But in these modern days,
Upon its ancient ways,
1 meet man in his ships,
His signs of power afoat,
His monuments of what is best
And latest in the realm
OF his accomplishment
Man of the thousand years,
i of the millions;
He that is new,
/ that am old;
He, in his pride of progress,
Forging far ahead of what he was;
I, still the same as l began,
l meet him in his ships,
And then
I, still the same.
Move on,
Alone.

And strong" the master said.
at will not feel the flood below
Nor tempest overhead"
And forth the giant liner swept
Upon her westward way,
A moving city of the foam,
With lights and music gay.
But from the north a ghostly fleet,
Mist-bannered, ages old,
Came gliding down by cliff and cape
The navy of the cold.
A mighty squadron wrought and
launched
BY elemental force,
With nothing but the shifting tides
To steer its silent course.
Beneath the silver stars that watch
The dramas of the deep
From Pole to Pole forevermore,
With eyes that never sleep,
1t met the proud Titanic, made
To conquer wind and wave,
And sunk her fathoms in the sea
And sailed above her grave.

TITANIC POETRY

See her river fingers, feeling for him
through the furrowed land
She will find him on the hill where
the streamlets do her will,
For the raindrops and the brooks are
slaves at her command.
Sarcophagus or urn shall not hold man
from the sea,
Though she fret and drain the soil for
long eternity,
She will draw him to her breast
where forever he will rest,
In the arms of her who sleeps not, the
insistent mother sea.
Mans body made of clay shrinks in
terror of the sea,
breads tie silent tomblesa vastness of
her boundless empiry
But the soul which knows it's mother
rushes to her like lover,
And the brave man laughs at death
as he sinks into the sea.
o queenly mother sea, ever ancient
ever young,
Glorious art thou and beautiful be
yond the words of pen or tongue;
We have sent thee of our worth from
this mOrdant, rickle earth.
Let thy long tides sing their glory as
their glory should be sung.

THE SEA.

cries the sea.
who shall call me cruel when Groom

Shall the mother of all men never

Ye are heartless who .bemoan the

Man may not deny his mother when
she stretches forth her hand.

platinum is to BE- found in great
quantities.
Through my many years of expert
ence in South America I have made
discoveries as regards the precioi
iaetals that few Of the outside worli
are aware OF.
There is an island which lies TWEEN
ty.two miles off the coast and a chan
mel of sixty fathoms depth, and when
the freshets are on in the rainy sea

the eastern beach and perceptible to
the naked eye among the black sands
which abound in that part of the coun.

are mighty lodges from which the
gold is washed out, and through com

thin, being soft GA karats gold.
Description Of the Country.
At the coast It is low land, thickly
wooded with mangles and tropical To-
liage, and thick underbrush. AS you
90 up the rivers about eight Or ten
miles the scene changes. You come
to the great hardwood trees, such as
rosewood, chachau, corazon, de beiau,
ammerillo, guayaean, and lots of other
valuable hardwoods, and also rhick
urderbrush which has to be cut
through with the machati, which 70
one is without whep out travelling
through the brush.
When you arrive at an altitude Of
two hundred and fifty feet you find
enc of the finest climates in the
world. The air is so clear that YOU
can see a man four miles and hear
the ring of his voice. There is roIr

beneficial, for many purposes, which

The Labor Question.

Labor can be obtained at the small
pre- rata of eighty cents per day in
the coin of the country, or about TWEEN
ty-seven cents in United States gold
coin, with food which amounts to
rice, beans and any kind of meat
that is available.
On the passage down there are
islands where a gold bearing lava
may be found which assays, in gold
and silver:
Gold, value per ton, $4.S2.
Silver, value per ton, $S.49.

I also had some more assayed
which ran $40 per ton. There are
millions of tons which can be worked

THE DEATH-RoLL
OF THE TITANIC.
If in the noon they doubted, in the
night
They never swerved. Death had no
power to appal
There was one Way, one Truth, one
Life, one Light,
one Love that scared triumphant
over all.
If in the noon they doubted, at the
last
There was no Way to part, no Way
but One,
That rolled the waves Of Nature back
and cast
In ancient days shadow across the
sun.
II in the noon they doubted, their last
breath
Saluted once again the eternal goal.
Chanted love-song in the face of
Death,
And rent the veil of darkness from
the soul
If in the noon they doubted, in the
night
They waved the trivial world of
strife aside,
Flooded high heaven with an immor
tai light,
And taught the deep how its Great
