At the depot, among the private
cars and taXicabs, motor omnibus
bore on its side the name of the new

objective; but for reasons which he
couldn't have explained, he avoided it,
and signaled to a taxi. AS the car
came to a standstill at the motor en-
trance to the hotel, he managed by
great exercise Of will-power to main
tain his mood of arrogant conquest,
and it was imperative for him to main
tain IT, inasmuch as his first ordeal
was so soon to come. More than that,
he had an ancient grudge against this
hosiery, for 1t had successfully de-
clined to continue his credit, refused

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
q time it must have been a pleasant
place to live In. Plant fossils found
there prove that anciently 1t had a
tropical climate.
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 Baffin bay and Davis strait,
and 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
afioat 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. It may run
ashore on Baffin island tthe 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 1t must pillow its way through
field Ice many feet thick.

money-throw it away, in fact. Don't

"Yes, do, father" the young man

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 1t 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.
It Is not at all safe for ship to go
near one, for huge fragments some
times fall off, and 1t is no uncommon
thing for an iceberg suddenly to turn
upside down..
A few years ago the United States
cruiser Birmingham, voyaging in q
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 prejectiles broke off quite q
lot of Ice and this commodity being
needed on board the cruiser, boats
were lowered to fetch 1t 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.
