FLEIEBERG Nor AN ICEBERG Foewupr Yellow and Dirty in 0olor; Latter - Ordinarily Brilliant e White With Streaks. Whne fllebergs often tire of great siz4 they are much different fromn icOherpgS, Rene Bache writes In the Philadelphia Public Ledger. They are ydtlw and dirty-looking in color, while Icebergs are ordinarily a bril liant white, with ultramarine streaks. The streaks are pure lee, while the white parts are largely solidifled snow. Floebergs are formed in the hays along the coast of Labrador, where ice is blown shoreward and plied up, shoot on sheet, during the winter. When suminer comes the masses thus formed are liable to float out to sea. An iceberg is composed of fresh wa ler, frozen. A floeberg Is frozen salt water. The crew of the steamer Andros voggin, of the United States coast guard, experimented in blowing up Icebergs with shells und i mines. but both atlempts failed. The shells mere ly uade white spots, and were shat tered, while there was inothllug that the in mies could be attaclnehd to to (10 daltamge. In addition slips could not come close enough to file belrgs with ont djanger from thev floating, moun talsw to mainke careful in\-vestigation for the Ileingg of the uineits.
