The article explains iceberg origins from Greenland and Melville Bay drifting to Grand Banks. It notes icebergs travel up to 2 500 miles, reach heights of 200 feet and lengths over 1 000 feet, with submerged portions extending deep. Summer glacial movement continually produces bergs, created when accumulated ice breaks from glaciers and slides into the sea.
In Brazil a species of tree frog builds a mud wall around a water pool to protect eggs and young. The circular tubelike structure rises above the surface, enclosing the eggs where they hatch. Young remain safe from predators until self care begins.

A deranged snippet laments medieval torture devices and witch burning remedies. It derides a witch trial era poultice used on a suffering infant, claiming it inflames the skin and worsens distress while praising the cleansing hot water method as superior.
