Captain Johnston is of the opinion
that the quantity of ice brought down
in the spring is in direct proportion to
the severity of the winter preceding.
The severity of the winters in the
north Atlantic states, he says, depends
upon the prevalence of strong north
winds having their origin on the Lab
RAZOR coast. Similarly it is these same
winds which start southwark the great
masses of ice broken off from glaciers
which appear in the steamship tracks
as icebergs. Therefore the ice danger
in the steamship lanes is always great
est after the most severe winters and
less as the preceding winter has been
mild.
Ground on Banks.
Many of the icebergs in the south.
ward drift become grounded on the
Grand Banks and do not constitute any
serious menace to the transatlantic
liners. 1t is those which continue south
parallel to and beyond the banks
which threaten the safety of the ocea
steamers; and it was to these that the
revenue cutter patrols paid the most
attention. Captain Johnston said that
the largest berg that was encountered
was about 400 feet long, 300 feet wide.
70 feet high out of water The small
est ice which properly could be called
a berg was 225 feet long, 100 feet wide
and 35 feet out of water.
Captain Johnston estimated the rate
of deterioration of icebergs floating in
the Gulf stream as about 5 per cent
day. He saw many melting SO rapidly
that waterfalls were pouring down
from their sides while others in the
advanced stages of dissolution turned
over daily as rapid melting shifted the
center of gravity. Sometimes iceberss
were found literally covered with sea
birds. OF the score of varieties OF sea
birds found on or near icebergs Cap
tain Johnston concludes that the pres
ence of none but the murre, Dlro
common in northern ATTITUDES, can Dc
safely regarded as an indication OF ICE
in the vicinity.
Perhaps Captain Johnston's most
valuable contribution is that referring
to the visibility and means OF detect
ing the presence of ice and ieebeFgs'
After three months Of repeated on
servations and experiments, togetnei
with the results of his experience III

concludes that there is no CERTAIN

JEWELS A SAFE INVESTMENT.
A London Expert Says Gems Are Bet
ter Than Mininq Stock,

Pail Mall Gazette: IF the people
who a few years ago put their money
into South African mines, had, instead,
bought jewels, they would not now be
lamenting a depreciation in value"
says a jeWeler on the subject Of the
statement made by Sir C%ourtauld
Thompson that "jewelry is a distinct
class of nVestment.'
On the contrary" this authority
added. they would have had the
pleasure of wearing their Jewels all
this time n of knowing that they
could in many cases realize more than
they paid for Them
The reason. 1t was explained, for the
rise in the value Of jewels during the
past few years is very simple. It is
to be found in the greater demand for
diamonds, pearls and all kinds of gems.
The financial crisis in America, which
a few years g caused severe restric-
tons, has long been forgotten; people
today, both in America and England,
have more money to spend on jewelry,
and there is every evidence that they
are spending it freely.
VIII this upward tendency in the
value Of jewels continue? The gener-
al belief in the trade is that it. will,
The Goldsmiths and S~ilversmiths' Co.
point to a special reason why, in the
case of pearls particularly, it would
appear that the increased values have
come to stay. While the demand for
pearls has increased, the supply. has
decreased, there being. for example, no
longer any pearls to be obtained from
the Ceylon fisheries, from which for
merly large numbers were taken.
Many women, especially in these
days of Investment in jewels. are
spending hundreds, and in some in
stances thousands Of pounds i n adding
to the number of pearls in their neck
laces.

THE ~CHlLDREN'S HOME.

Il In this issue Of The Forum will be
$found the complete annual report Of
Frank D. Hall, superintendent Of the
North Dakota Childrcns' home. 1t
will be well worth the time Of every
reader Of The Forum to give this re-
port a careful perusal. 1t gives a
very comprehensive idea Of the SPLEEN
did work that is being done in North
Dakota for those most unfortunate Of
all unfortunates, the helpless and
homeless little ones.
Mr.. Hall has now been in charge of
the home for eleven years. During
that time the institution has been
Bplendidly managed and the people of
the state can rest assured that any
child that comes to this home is re-
rCeiving excellent treatment. The SUI
perintendent is a consistent, kindly
christian gentleman, thoroughly in
sympathy with the work and the or
phaned boys and girls who come to
The home in Fargo find in MIN a faith
, Gr.
AS the state Of North Dakota grows
the work of the home increases and
those in charge have many problems
to face. Some of these problems are
discussed by Mr.. Hall in his report.
The home has been enlarged during
The past year with a large addition
and his addition is or will be finished
and fitted up in a thoroughly sani-
tary and up-to-date manner.
This new addition and the constant
~ increasing Expense means that the
funds for maintenance must be con-
stantly growing. AS the home is de-
pendent entirely or free will offerings
for it's support it will be seen that
this end Of the work needs constant
attention. There is no more practical
charity in North Dakota than a gift
to the chiIdren's home and j. surely
deserves the hearty support Of every
citizen of the State.

The archaic method of picking citi-

the various counties prevails in Jer-
sey. While the state has a splendid
record for swift and sturdy justice
the gratifying condition has been
brought about largely by the integri-
ty and the industry of the Judges.
In recent years. however, the influence

Governor Wilson recommended
