When an Iceberg Turns Turtle
Think of sections bigger than Rhode
Island being torn from a glacier and
swept off into the ocean to be ferried
3000 miles on the bosom of tie Lab
rador current until the heated v aters
of the gulf stream cause them to van
ish from human ken Then can one
form some idea of the immensity of
the ice area discharged from the Green
land seas each 3 ear Thousands of
mile of valley are constantly emptying
their contents into the bays and fiords
of the north waters whence the tides
hurry the detachments southward to
cumber the wide Atlantic
The disposition of icebergs to turn
turtle is one of their most dangerous
propensities It arises from several
causes When they start out from
Greenland their bottoms are heavy
with the detritus gathered in their
glacial period and this drops off at in
tervals as they move south causing
their center of gravity to change arid
the berg to assume new positions The
scientific theory of the formation of
the vast submarine plateaus which ex
tend from Labrador to Fundy and are
commonly known as the Grand banks
of Newfoundland is that they are tho
products of bergs during countless
ages Leslies Magazine
Cannibalistic Scorpions
During many years of scorpion hunt
ing I never remembered to have seen
two Individuals living together in
amity and even their more tender re
lations are tainted at times with the
unamiable habit of cannibalism The
males are decidedly smaller than their
mates whom they approach accord
ingly with the utmost caution If tho
fair inamorata doesnt like the looks
of her advancing suitor she settles the
question offhand by making a murder
ous spring at him catching him in her
claws stinging him to death and mak
ing a hearty meal off him This is
scarcely loverlike On the other hand
if a dubious wife the female scorpion
is a devoted mother She hatches her
eggs in her own oviduct brings forti
her young alive unlike her relations
the spiders and carries them about on
her back to the number of fifty dur
ing their innocent childhood till they
are of an age to shift for themselves

First Person Cremated In America
The first white person lawfully cre
mated within the present limits of the
United States according to wishes and
desires expressed by himself was Colo
nel Henry Laurens one of the Revo
lutionary patriots He was born in
Charleston S C in the year 1724 and
died on his plantation near that place
on Dec 8 1792 His will which he
had requested them to open and read
the next day after his death was sup
plemented ith the following I sol
emnly enjoin it upon my son as an In
dispensable duty that as soon as he
conveniently can after my decease he
cause my body to be wrapped in
twelve yards of towcloth and burned
until It be entirely consumed The
request was carried out to the- letter
and was the beginning of cremation in
America
English Characteristics
The Englishman is less social than
men of any other nationality I mean
he is less conscious of the ties which
bind humanity together his moral for
mation owes little to his relations with
other men he scarcely troubles him
self about what they think and if he
ever considers the matter at all it
makes no difference in his sentiments
and actions In short the Englishman
is to a certain extent a recluse he is
more aloof from the world in which he
lives and the neighbors whom he el
bows than the men of any other
nationality Boutmys The English

Spanish Etiquette
There is a curious story of- how the
Duke dAosta when king of Spain
told a muleteer to whom he was talk
ing to cover himself the sun being
hot forgetting that by so doing he
made him a grandee Marshal Prim
to prevent thjs catastrophe knocked
the mans hat out of his hand and ac
cording to some the muleteer had
something to do with the assassination
that followed a few days afterward
