THE REQUESTS.

Sometimes when the great store was
dark and when the people had gone
home the things in the store had story
telling hours and games and frolics
and all sorts of nice times.
Sometimes they talked and some
times they played and sometimes they
would sing to themselves and to each
other.
There were times, too. when they
would tell what had gone on during
the long day when people had been
shopping and when children had come
and gone and come back again.
Many long talk did they all have
and they had so much to tell always
of what happened in the daytime.
They had so many children they want
ed to describe to each other, children
some had missed seeing. So this is
what happened one evening, and per-
haps we may hear of some more
things that happened too, later on.
But to go on with what happened on
This evening, just after the people had
left the store.
1t was after six o'clock. The great
children's store which sold everything
anyone could think of-from canary
birds to party frocks-was silent and
still. All the counters were covered
with dark-blue linen covers. Every
thing. in short, was put away for the
night.
Suddenly there came a laughing. All
the dresses and gloves and pocket
books and sashes peeped out from
their blue coverings and began to
laugh too. just then. flying down the
aisles of the store, between the coun-
tiers, came fairy.

(To BE coNTINUED.)

The lucky iceberg is the one that
manages to keep in the main channel
and is carried southwark by the Lab
rador current into the north Atlantic
Once arrived in that region of open
sea it may drift about for many
months before going to pieces. Large
bergs have on occasions got as far as
the Azores, which are slightly south
of the latitude of Philadelphia.
A sizeable berg may have nearly
vertical walls 100 feet high, with PIN
nacles towering to twice or thrice that
elevation. Often these floating noun
tains of ice have very fantastic shapes.
1t is not at sill safe for ship to go
near one, for huge fragments some
times fall off, and it is no uncommon
thing for an iceberg suddenly to turn
upside down.
A few years ago the United States
cruiser Birmingham, voyaging in a
fog, unexpectedly found herself be-
tween two enormous icebergs. AS a
measure of defense, she promptly pro-
ceeded to lombard them with her
heaviest guns. The performance did
not seem to bother the bergs much.
but the projectiles broke off quite
lot of ice and this commodity being
needed on board the cruiser, boats
were lowered to fetch it aboard.
Our government, after the disaster
to the Titanic, which was destroyed
by collision with an iceberg in 1912,
accepted from the other maritime ma
tons commission to watch for such
perils in the region of the grand banks
and since then we have regularly
maintained what is called an 'ice pa
troll" in those waters. The period of
greatest danger from icebergs is April,
May and June.

While some girls are spending their
time trying to decide how to grapple
with a problem, a girl of different cal
iher will go to work and finish the
task. 1t is a pity to waste time by not

decidedly worse to spend more time

SET OUT FROM GREENLAND
Immense Masses of Ice SO Dangerous
to Ocean Vessels All Have Their
Origin There.

If one looks at an ordinary map,
one is surprised to find that Green
land is considerably bigger than South
America. Which illustrates the dis
tortion of the Mercator projection. in
asmuch as South America is actually
about six times the size of Greenland.
All the same, Greenland is the big
gest island in the world, and once upon
a time it must have been a pleasant
place to live in. Plant fossils found
there prove that anciently it had a
tropical climate.
But it must have been a very long
time ago, for today nearly the whole
Of Greenland is covered by an ice
sheet with an average thickness OF
1000 feet. From a mountain range
two miles high most of the great
island slopes downward and westward
toward Bafin bay and Davis strait.
aud so the ice sheet is continually
moving in that direction.
Off the west coast are numerous
islands and, as the ice sheet forces its
way between them, it is ripped to
pieces. Huge fragments drop off, form
ing what we call icebergs, and are set
afloat in the sea. An average speci-
men is eight or ten times the size of
the capitol at Washington.
What happens to an individual Ice
berg after that depends upon acct
dental circumstances. 1t may run
ashore on Baff1n island (the west side
of Davis strait) or on the coast of
Labrador, farther south. If it escapes
this fate, its passage southwark
through the strait will be very slow,
because it must pillow its way through
field ice many feet thick.
