Arctic and Antarctic lcebergs.

It is not generally known, even to
sailors, that there is a marked differ
ence between icebergs in the Arctic
and Antarctic circles. Those of the
Arctic ocean are irregular in shape
with lofty pinnacles, cioud-capped
towers and glittering dOmes, whereas
the southern icebergs are flat-topped
and soid-loolling The former reach
the shore by narrow fords, but the
fol nation of the latter is more regu'
Tar. The northern are neither so large
nor so numerous as those met with in
the southern ocean. In 1855 an i'm
mense berg was sighted in ~ degrees
south latitude, which drifted about for
several months, and was sighted by
many ships. 1t was 300 feet high, 60
miles long, and 40 miles wide, and
was in shape like a horseshoe. It's
two sides inclosed a sheltered bay
measuring 40 miles across. a large
emigrant ship ran into this bay and
was lost, with all on board. Only
about one-ninth of an iceberg is Wis

1000 feet high having been
sighted in the southern ocean. This
would make their total height 9,OOj
feet, or nearly two miles.

export of petroleum, at least within
the same period.
"Not only that, but among local oil
men there are many who have had
exceptional advantages in the way OF
forecasting the market, and they
have steadily held to the same opin.
ion. Among them are such men as
II. p Sinclair, whose frequent visits
to New York has put him in close
touch with the market, or Mr.. Nc
Farlin, president of the McMan Oil
company; Dr. Curtis, of the big firm
of Curtis and Aiken, and others.
"Not only that, but the Carter Oil
company has shown by their frequent
purchases of oil in tankage (and ac.
tions speak louder than Words has
proved repeatedly its confidence in
the market, which goes to show that
they are right, and know more per.
haps, of market conditions, on account
of the close affiliation with 26 Broad
way, than any other concern here,
"The Independent refiners have not
been fooled by the laggard manner in
which the market has advanced, but
are particularly well fortified for fu-
ture emergencies. In other words,
they are all smiling"

There is little doubt that one of the
most oppressive, injurious, detestable
forces in the world is the force of
conventionality, that instinct which
makes men judge character and an ac-
tion, not by its beauty or its merits,
but by comparing it with the standard
of how the normal man would regarL
it, writes Arthur c. Bcn5on. This vast
and intolerable medium of dullness,
which penctrates our lives like a thick,
dark mist, allowing US only 20 see the
object in range of an immediate vision,
hostile to all originality, crushingly
respectable, that dictates our homes,
our occupations, our amusements, our
emotions, our religion, is The most
ruthless ana tyrannical thing in the
world.

Gasoline and Wax Both Advanced in

Gasoline in Dallas yesterday went
TO 21c at most of the filling stations,
though few were still selling yes
terday afternoon at 19c, the price OF

Yesterday morning by the Pierce
Fordyce Oil association placed the re-
tail price at 21c and wholesale at 19c
Local oil men predicted that within
a week gasoline will be selling at 25c
per gallon.
A corresponding increase in crude
oil is reported. The product has ad
vanced 25c per barrel this week and
yesterday afternoon was selling at
s1.25 per barrel. Dealers predicted
that crude oil would go to s1.75 within
a short time Wax has advanced from
Sc to : 1-2
Local dealers say that the unpre-
cedented prices are brought about by
the increasing demand to supply the
export trade. Forty cars of lubricating
oil are shipped daily from California
to New York for export, they say
