"Landing our hut, stores etc. , , and .berating them up this danger- ous'cliff was a long and difficult business and our next care was to r mothem from the broken edge to moth a spot 040'yards distant, where we erected our hut. "During these operations the whole art • worked fourteen hours a day, and six days after the Au- ¢'ora had departed we -were able leave our tents and occupy the hut. During this period the temperature varied 40 degrees, dropping as low as minis 15 Fahrenheit. We coy- ered 185 miles in dragging stares between the lacier edge and the, g g hut. Had Only Tinned Foods: "The next morning we next made preparations for sledging, but were detained until the middle of March by blizzards and snowdrifts fifteen feet in depth. In the meantime all the sea ice blew away, leaving us with a perpendicular glacier edge, up which it was impossible for pen- guins or seatla to reach, and for five months we had to depend entirely on tinned foods, "The fee we met with on the ex- ped tion was by far the Worst 1 have ever seen. On our glacier this was partly the result et collisions be- tween more quiakly-moving masses and- our own. These collisions had torn crevasses more than 300 feet wide and 400 feet deep, and the im- pact had thrown up ice 250 feet to 300 feet high." Feil Down Crevasse.

It was in the year 1512 that French architect first made the sug- gestion that houses in a certain section of Paris be numbered. The idea, however, was a long time talc- in root and it uvea not until 1789 g r that the system became general, writes a London correspondent. In Berlin about a decade later an ecceubri@ method of numbering t110 houses was adopted, They numbered them without reference to the streets; thus a tenant's ad- dross would be described merely as, say, 1,000 Berlin, The first instance known of London street in which the hotises were numbered is Preseob street, Goodtnan's Fields, but the practice , P did not spread far before the year 1764, when it received a great im• petite, and it soon -after became well established in London.
