Ensign Rodman Tells of His Observa- tion of Icebergs and Fields. Ensign Hugh Rodman, U.S.N.,on duty in the hydrographic office, delivered an interest- ing lecture at the thirty-ninth meeting of the National Geograpbic Society in the assembly hall of the Cosmos Club. His topic was “Ice- bergs and field ice in the North Atlantic,” he having just returned from a trip into the ice- making regions of Labrador and Newfoundland on a special mission on behalf of the bydro- graphic office for the purpose of obtaining in- formation that might lead to more accurate Knowledge in relation to the formation and movements of ico around the lines of regular Ocean travel. His lecture was illustrated with jantern slides from views taken by him during his trip. Newfoundland and the mouth of the Bt Lawrence river yearly send out miles of ice that is extremely dangerous to navigation. In deep waters the course of ice can be easily traced. but in shoal water this becomes diffi- cult. The movements of the ice depend in a reat measure upon the various currents that traverse the ocean in this vicinity, as well as upon a great variety of other forces, and little can be said with any degree of definiteness as to the probable movements of ice beforehand. Hundreds of vessels have been lost from ignor- ance of the local path of the ice, and many are damaged severely yearly on the same account. GREENLAND AS AN ICE FACTORY. Greenland is the great factory for the for- mation of icebergs and the most of those that make an annual appearance in the north- ern waters are from this region. It is a large island, entirely covered by ice, that flows down to the sea and, breaking off, forms bergs and fields. Each glacier produces from ten to twenty bergs a year,an annual output of ice that has been estimated at 250,000,000,000 of eubie feet, or, calculating at the rate of 5 pounds a day for every man, woman and child in the United States, enough to supply this country for at least a hundred years. But only a smali proportion of the year's production of bergs ever reach the trans-Atlantic steamer lines, for many are melted. but more are broken up before they get into the navigable waters. Off the Grand Banks the bergs are the most plentiful during the spring months. There is a great difference in the rates at which bergs travel. One may reach the southern waters the same year in which it is produced, while another may be several years going the same distance. The ice fields are a great obstacle to the progress of the bergs, smashing themupand causing their disintegration. The ice of the bergs is very brittle and sometimes a sharp blow of an ax will shatter a berg. and they are often demdlished by the concussion of tle report of acannon. They break up with loud reports that can be heard for some distance. Water often melts in crevices of the bergs, and then by some change of temperature | freeze again. and then it often happens that by reason oi the expansion and contraction due to the change in the condition of re-| water the ice is split, aud thus bergs are fre- quently destroyed. Ther melt away as they getinto the warmer er of the south, and are ground against the fields and broken ice that they meet on the way. Same of them last for several years. They quite often have long, outlying spurs projecting under the surface of the water that are very dangerous to ships, for they are invisible and may pierce the side of a vessel. Bergs are, as a rut ely balanced and are quite apt to tumble over if they are disturbed. Onaclear day a berg can be seen for along distance on account of its brilliant whiteness and at night from its reful DETECTED BY ECHO! Ina fog bergs may be detected by their ap- Parent blackness, but more often by the echo which they throw off from any such sound as a fog horn or a whistle. An instrument on deck catches the echo waves, and by a perfected mechanism their lengths may be measured, thus giving the mariner some idea as to the distance he is away from his danger. Field ice is constantly drifting and motion within itself that is always carrying it onin some direc It often brea drifts and freezes again the same d: vessels, caught in the ice near to each other, may, in a few days, be many miles apart, though there is not a time when one could not walk from one to the other. The Arctic takes several seasons to m: while that made further south forms each seaso The latter is Softer and does not last as long as the other sort. Only an average sized berg can get across the banks, owing to the great depth of water which they draw, and many are grounded there to melt slowly away. SEALS ON THE FLOES. The cod follow the ice down and feed under it, while the seal, the sort that is hunted for its leather and not its fur, makes ice its breed- ing ground. This furnishes a lively industry to many fishermen of the north, who go out in fleets as soon as the ice begins to come down and race for the bergs and fields. The catch averages about 21.000,000 worth each year, but the business is perilous and the risks are great, It is a peculiar ¢ that has been lately dem- onstrated, that all ice does not form on the surface of the water, but often makes in from ten to fifteen fathoms down. Articles that have been lost overboard have been found in cakes of ice months or years after. As th heavier than the water and could not float this is accounted for by the explanation that there are spots in the under current of the water that are colder than on top and ice forms when it could not do so abo The hydrographic oftice has been doing a great deal to get reliable intormation about the Movements of ice in the lines of steamers across the Atlantic, and has prepared several forme and charts that are giveu to all mariners who will fill them out in exchange for any other information that they may want. All ice hted is put down on the chart, with the date and the location, and from the data thus re- ceived the office is enabled to draw resultant averages as to the probable location of ice in the more frequently traveled lines. The pres- ent year has been unusual in the number and the size of the bergs that have been ighted, their appearance having been much earlier than ever before. It 1s estimated that fully 100,000 a year would be saved in coal alone if steamers could sail in such courses that they would not meet ice in their routes, Transfers of Real Estate.

A large crowd of friends gathered at the sta- tion in Madrid last night to bid farewell to Mr. Palmer, the United States minister, who left for Paris on his way to the United States, Al- though Mr. Palmer departs on leave of ab- sence, as he is conspicuously mentioned for the gubernatorial nomination of Michigan, it is generally believed in Spain that he will decide not to return. Ouing 0 his popularity the possibility of such a ision is regarded with universal regret in diplomatic and political METEORS AND COMETS. — - Prof. Searle Gives an Interesting Talk About Shooting Stars. Prof. George M. Searle, in his lecture at the Catholic University on meteors and their rela- tion to comets, stated many interesting astro- nomical facts. He began by making some re- marks regarding the frequency of ordinary meteors and especially their greater frequency toward morning, because at that time we are, as it were, on the bow of the earth, while in the evening we are at its stern, It is estimated that over ten million meteors fall on the earth in the course of the day visible to the naked eye—that is thirty to sixty an hour—on an average, at any one place. Observations have shown that meteors travel with immense ve- locities. They are usually as much as fifty miles away from us and, indeed, fifty miles above the surface of the earth; which shows that the atmosphere is higher than has been commonly believed, for they derive their heat and light from combustion caused by their contact with the atmosphere. A meteor has been observed to come from the Pacific to the Atlantic in about two minutes—that is at a rate of about twenty miles a second, and that was not atallan unusual velocity. It is evident, then, that meteors are really planets, but most of them are very minute. As they can- not be seen to reach the earth their size is es- | timated by the light they give. ‘Twelve foot- pounds of energy is equal to the light of a standard candle. On this basis the weight of common shooting stars has been found to vary from one grain to one hundred graina, There being about fifteen million grains in a ton it is possible that ten tons may fall on the earth in a day, but even if a hundred tons should fall every day it would, it is estimated, only make a layer one inch thick ina thousand million years. Of course there are some larger once called aerolites and these have been known to fall to the ground in considerable numbers, but the “largest ones actually reaching the arth have not weighed over 500 pounds, ey probably weighed more when they entered the air. BIETEORIC SHOWERS. Meteors have been scen to full in showers at various times. Perhaps the most remarkable in this century was one of November 12, 1863, in which 250,000 were counted by an observer at Boston in the space of six hours, These me- teors seemed to diverge from a single point in the sk?, and this is always the case in displays ind. Asone old lady remarked. the appeared like a big umbrella. ‘This is the that the meteors are all traveling in parallel lines. This display was found to have occurred previously in 179% and was traced, when atten- tion had been called to the subject, as far back as the year 902, appearing at intervals of about thirty-three years, there being records of a large number of its recurrences since that date, It was found that they contd be accounted for only by a swarm of meteors traveling in an orbit around the sun, requiring thirty-three years for its complete circuit and the pro-| cession or swarm being so long two or three years to puss a giv: the strength ot this conclusion Pro to require 1 point. On eweomb predicted a repetition of this shower in 1866, w h was observed. with repetitions in 1867 nd 1568, all beg quite remarkable, though not so noticeable us that of 1833. The next step in the matter was the dis- covery that the comet of 1566 moved in the same orbit as these metcors and that the slighter showers which occur in August of x move in the same orbit as the comet A COMET RETIRED FROM BUS! . The lecturer then proceeded to give an ac- count of the remarkable adventures of Biela’s comet, This comet was discovered early in the century and found to move in a six-year orbit, and was so observed during several returns, In 1546 it was found to have separated inio two comets, traveling side @ double comet was again secn to return, In 185 circumstances being unfavorable. it was hardiy expected to be seen, but in 1 fully looked for, no trace of it was found. Now the orbit of this comet itersects that of the earth, the junction being about at the point which we occupy in the end of November. in fact, it had been fe ight occur between Biela’s earth ever since the time th first been calculated. In 187: following the same course 2 itself would have done had it been there. So con- fident was the astronomer Klinkerfues that we had actually collided with the comet itseif that he sent to Pogson, at Madras. the following telegram, probably the most remarkable that ever crossed a wire: ‘“iela touched earth, jovember 27. Search near Theta Centauri. Search being made, a comet was actually found near that poiat, but bad w ¢ pre- vented sufficient observations to determine its orbit. It does not appear probable that it was the principal body of the former comet, as it was not on the right part of its orbit, the comet should have been gone by some con- siderable time earlier. but that there is little doubt that this comet forms part of the same system, and indeed it is more than doubtful if Biela’s comet, as such. any longer exists. ‘The probability is that the whole thing has been broken up into a meteoric stream. Besides those mentioned, other meteoric streams are known to be accompanied by comets, moving in the same orbit, and it appears probable that all of the meteoric streams or showers occur- ring | agar iy are the remains of comets which have been disintegrated by planetary perturbations, sie sac. The Employment of Apprentices. To the Editor of Tue EVENING Stan: According to the article from the Chicago News, published in Tue Star on Saturday, labor organizations are opposed to the employment of apprentices, and it is charged that their influ- ence is directed against the American boy learn- ing atrade, That this is an error will become apparent to any person of common sense upon moment's reflection, Against the present “system” of employihg apprentices, which is no system at all, and which does great harm and injustice to apprentices, labor organ tions are righteously opposed. Under it not one boy in ten becomes familiar with the de- tails of any trade, even if he serves a “full ap. prenticeship.” W! used to Be called a trade Is now cut up into brauches, 40 that whena boy starts to learn a trade he only learns part of e. In the majority of cases he is not appren- . but is simply employed, generuliy at low wages. Becoming familiar with his ‘upation aiter @ year or so he conceive idea that he is not receiving enough way looks around for another employer in the same business who will pay him a dollar or two more # week, and he generally finds one, who invari- ably discharges a competent workinan, often a man with afamily,to make room for him. ‘This is not an imaginary case, but is going on all over this count elsewhere. If the census to b en this year would inquire into this matter the result would be astonishing. What the American boy wants, what labor organizations want, and what employers, as a class, do not want, is a system of indentured apprenticeship, perhaps not so scvere exacting as that under which our fathers served, but modernized to suit the present. ‘The vast army of incompetent workmen in this country today can safely be placed to the credit of the non-apprenticestup system, started on their career by emplo; to an indentured apprenticeship, can boy should be protected, eneoura have the right to carn a living, and the respoa- sibility for his preseut condition cannot by « means be laid at the door of labor tions. If Ee piemtans were properly ured it wouid place considerable responsibility on employers and they would not be as wil to fill their shops with boys as now, and the American boy would have a better chance as a boy and a fair chance as a man, Oxce a Box. _—— Died on Her Wedding Trip.

The Canal Question—Real Estate Sale— Improvements, Etc. Correspondence of the Tux Evesrye Star. Rockvitze, April 20, The passage of the receivers, appointed by | Judge Alvey of the circuit court for Washing- ton connty, along the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is watched by our people with | unusual interest. Reports ao far received indi- | cate that the canal has not been so badly in- | jured in that portion adjacent to the upper | waters of the Potomac as has been reported, but when the receivers reach that portion | lying between Monocacy and Georgetown they will find quite a different state of affairs. There is no doubt that the people living along the im- mediate line of the canal, and who have do | pended for support for themselves and famil ies | upon the work connected with that waterway, wonld rather see the canal put in running | order, but the farmers and business portion of | the community who have shipments to make | would much prefer a railroad, whereby they | could send their produce to market at any sea- son of the year, A large farmer of that local- ity puts it in this terse way: ‘When the canal | Was open I was busy on my farm either in put- | ting in or saving my crops, and when winter came and I had comparatively little to do and wished to ship my crops to market the canal was closed, and so I had to wait until early the next spring and take whatever the market gave. |Thave often in that way lost all the profit I would have realized had I facilities to send it in when the prices were up.” ‘This is a general | opinion of farmers, and about the only persons | opposed to a railroad to take the place of the canal are those who look upon the place of lock-keeper or boss upon a repair boat as sec- ‘ond only to a place an the cabinet. | _ In addition to the farm purchased of W.

In point of fact, it may be truthfally said that it is without ap equal in this respect any whore in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tux Sran on the 18th of January, 18% Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the circn- Jation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2. The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the ether datly Papers published im the city added to- gether!!? 3. Whe Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, in proportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news- Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regutar and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States !!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: PAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-89, ISS3. INSG.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers, The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, cad by newsboys. But of this latter uumber a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tur Srar a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the houschold, and particularly by the pur= chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can fumish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper, It isa well established fact, demonstrated to the fall satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING, This is proven by the DESINALETWO.STORY AND BASEMENT BRICK Ey | HOUSE, NOME COLNE OF SEVENTH | Fight eo senell the 9 cakend On FRIDAY AFTEKNOON, APRIL ELEVENTH, | CU*t the defauliy atkIVE WCLUOCK, we will offer sale in frout of the preisises LO’ 107, SQUARE 88° 84-100 tec?

The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied ip 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise: ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1839 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns ix the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll liste, election returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that fm proportion to the extent and high charactel Of ite circulation, Tur Stan's advertising rater take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement bereit made can be abundantly verified.
