Hardness of lcebercs,

The hardness and strength of ice in
creases with the degrees of cold, and
as icebergs come from the region of
perpetual cold of an intensity difficult
to realize it is readily seer how they
can become demons of destruction
The hardness of icebergs is something
wonderful. even surprising that of the
land ice" reported from st. Peters
burg in 1740, wherein it is declared
that 'in the severe winter of that year
a house was built of ice taken from
the river Neva which was fifty feet
long, sixteen feet wide and twenty
feet high, and the walls supported the
roof, which was also of ice. Before 1t
stood two ice mortars and six ice can
non made on a turning lathe, with
carriages and wheels also of ice. The
cannon were of the caliber of six
Founders, but they were loaded only
with o%ne-quarter pound of powder and
with hemp balls-on one occasion with
iron. The thickness of the ice was
only four inches, and yet it resisted
the explosion"

of white steam in which it appears to
be continually enveloped. Its area is
only 600 acres and its height about SOC
feet above sea level. The water of the
island is of a pale green hue. and any,
thing dipped into it becomes of a red
brick color. The fumes of sulphur are
always plainly perceptible. Covering
