<ICEBERCS MAY Be
zoo YEARS OLD
Chicago Journal.)

A good many facts about icebergs
not hitherto known have come to light
rs result Of the first real study Of
them ever attempted. which the Unit
ed States coast guard has boon max
ing in the course Of its ice patror
work Off the Grand banks. One Of
these is that some icebergs are as
much az 200 years old.
Snow falls, let US say, on the crest
OF Greenland's icy mountains. 1t
hardens into ice and is washed down
the slope by the weight Of moro snow.
Thus It starts on its journey toward
the seat. becoming part OF q glacier.
but the later moves 50 slowly that a
couple Of centuries may elapse before
the original frozen mass reaches the
coast. breaks off and is set afloat.

surface. 1t is, of course, the same way
with an iceberg, the bulk Of which is
beneath the ocean waves.
How enormous, then, must have
been one berg recently observed by
the coast guard steamer Androscogin,
withdrawing the part of 1t above

$50 feet long, 400 feet wide and 120
feet high!
When an iceberg. floating southwark
through Davis strait, finds its way in
to the north Atlantic, it strikes warm
er water, and the under part of 1t be-
gins to melt. This goes on usually
until equilibrium is disturbed and the
mass turns upside down.
Often an iceberg has considerable
"overhand" few feet above the wa.
ter owing to melting and also to wave
action. This was what saved a steam
or the other day. 1t ran full tilt into
It In q fog. but. though its upper
works forward were demolished, 1t
was not injured at or near the water
line. and so was able to limp into port.
1cebergs ordinarily are brilliant
white with ultramarine streaks. The
streaks are pure ice: the white parts
are largely solidified snow.
When the berg begins to melt. the
snow parts go much quicker than the
ice. and thus great caverns may form.

In my perplexlties concerning the
death of that master spy whose pas
sion had so strangely pursued and
twisted my own career, 1 cannot but
crtnge before the belief that he had
fully intended to make me share his
death, since would not share his
life.
Had not Certeis vowed at the very
end just as he had sworn many a
time before. that l was the only wo-
man he had ever truly loved?
His life had been a sinister drama.
1t was ike him to attempt to round
1t off with a magnificent climax. And
what would seem more magnificent
to his passionate mind, in his last
desperate state, than to steal the only
woman he had ever honestly loved,
to snatch her from her place among
the living, and carry her away with
him-into enernity?
Whenever l think of that dreadful
hour, grow cold. never wish to
look upon the sea again. And thank
all the gods of love that Bob-My
own Bob, drawn by the mysterious
attraction which is always pulling us
together-had followed me and saved
me from so hideous a fate.

was on, and when so many of the
stricter bonds were slackened a bit
IN the world around, and likewise in
my own secret life.
l wonder If good always triunphs
over evil? In my own experience IL
invariably has. Certeis' alteration for

Plenty of Work

Farmers of the northwest are
making frantic efforts to secure
men in the large cities to WORK on
the farms for $50 a month with
board and room. But it isn't enough
to tempt the idlers away from the
movie signs and the cabaret jazzers.
Fifty a month is not much. when
the cost of living is considered. but
as most of the living is in board
and room the argument seems a lit
tie weak.
AS matter of fact, $50 month
with board and room on a farm is
far better than the average young
man can do even at the high wages
in the cities. where everything is
paid out in necessary living ex-
penses.
The farm is a good place. and it
is getting better every year.

Do it Right

The proposal to give public lauds
to returned soldiers needs a certain
amount of watching. 1t is an excel
lent one, if it does not operate to
the soldiers disadvantage.
1t has been charged that the pre-
sent scheme is to select land lying
in desert districts or in swamps. and
to impose upon the soldiers the work
of reclamation. II this is true, it is
an unconscionable imposition.
The purpose of such a scheme
should be to reward the soldiers
not to enable the nation, or rather,
that part of it that did not 90 to-
war, to profit at their expense.
There are millions of acres of public
! land ready for cultivation at once.
Givethat to the discharged veterans:
the swamps can be drained and the
deserts irrigated at the public cost -
not at the expense of the soldiers.
The loan offered to the soldiers
to furnish them with the necessary
funds would not discharge the ma
tons debt. as the advances must
be repaid at four per cent. II we
are calling the giants a free gift.
