BY EDWIN FAIRFAX NAULTY.

AS the end of most remarkable winter
draws near there comes from the north
Atlantic the report of large iceberg
sighted by the Louisianian in latitude 49, II
north. longitude 47.3O west. The berg
was surrounded by a large quantity of
growler and drift ice and was a serious
menace to navigation. While it is not
the first time that ice has been seen drift
ing south at this time of year, yet it is
very early for large bergs and most un-
usual. The presence of this ice in the
north Atlantic at this time indicates that
there will be great fields of it moving
south very early this spring.
This ice is probably from the Labrador
coast and is second year arctic ice Bergs
and field ice working out from the west
coast of Greenland often get into the
steamship lane in the same year that
they are freed from the land, but true
arctic ice takes two years to come out.
The first year It works south during the
summer and strands and packs on the
coast of Labrador as winter comes on
The succeeding summer this stranded and
packed ice breaks loose and starts on
the stage Of it's journey.
Mild Winters in Arctic.
Owing to the fact that this winter and
that of 1911-12 We're unusually mild in
the arctic regions, SO much so that last
summer it was probable that there was
open water in much of the Arctic sea,
the spring discharge of ice will probably
commence early and be abundant and

and in great quantity. 1t will be well
for all ship captains to keep sharp look
out for ice and particularly for the very
dangerous GROWERS
The winter season of 1913 will long be
remembered by seafaring men for the
heavy seas and strong gales that veXed
the north Atlantic. January, which was
generally mild ashore. was almost clyclonic
af1oat, every steamer arriving from
Europe bringing tales Of wild weather. In
striking contrast to this was the late
freezing of the northern rivers and
waters. The Hudson remained open to
navigation until February 6. having been
free from ice for 317 days, the preceding
year of 1911-12. also remarkable for it's
late coming winter the Hudson was open
until January 8. but it is necessary to
go back to 1910 to find record ap-
preaching this years. In that year the
Hudson was open until January 10.
Maine feared for it's ice crop this year,
but late and sharp freeze set the ice in
February.
Violets in January.
Some of the vagaries Of the winter
weather in January are told in the fol-
lowing: On January 20 wild violets were
in bloom in ST. townsville. n. Y, where
normally there is ten feet of snow at this
time. A sharp cold wave in California
did s3O.000,OO0 worth of damage to citrus
fruits. Capt Ritchie of the steamship

great fields Of melting ice and a barom-
eter of 2I.15, with drop Of four-tenths

snow. The st. Lawrence broke all records
for freedom from ice in January, while
Ice conditions on the great lakes We're
the most severe in years. the Michigan
straits being frozen to a depth of thirty
five feet. Flowers budded. trees leaved
berries ripened and spring birds came in
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
England had its mildest winter since
1853. Alaska had a heat wave surface
water was running in Greenland, rhodo-
dendrons blOOmed in Paris, snow and ice
covered Mount Etna to it's base and most
OF Sicily was snow bound. The coast of
Spain was hammered by enormous seas
north Europe enjoyed mild weather. while
the Balkan peninsula was buried in snow
and harried by freezing hurricanes. A
sharp earthquake shock occurred In
Maine. a strong tremOr at Atlantic City
and in South Carolina, a slight shock on

volcanoes in Alaska erupted and an ex-

Queer Summer in South.
In the southern hemisphere the passing
summer season has been as remarkable
as our corresponding winter. The corr
crop of Argentina for 1913 was only, 665
per cent of last years crop. Better
than any records of variation In temper
ature this indicates the remarkable
weather conditions below the equator.
