TIIE 'VALUE OF ICEBERGS. -- - A. Messing to Newfoundland and North Atlatil ie erni en. The number of lives which have been lo.st during the past year through collisions with icebergs from the frozen Merth has revealed in ne uncertain manner the extent of this tee upon .the high seas. The bergs have becn sighted in seutligen latitudes which hitherto have bate regarded as beyond their Teach. The popular mind has beet riveted upon the subject by the number (if eceideets; but, as a, matter ef fact, scientists have been aware of their numbers and Trtavementts for yeaes.
