Lieutenant Martin Lindsay, the leader of the British Aretie EX- pedition, who, with two compan- fons, only, made a journey by dog sledge across the Greenland Ice- cap last summer, gave the second of the Royal Empire" Society Christmas Lectures for Young People at the Hotel Victoria,
The object of the expedition was tu map, photograph," and collect geological specimens from the un- known hinterland of East Green- land, a stretch of country 350 miles in length, where no man had previously set foot. This re- gion is one of the most fnaccessi- b'e in the world, and all previous attempts to enter it had falled. From the east-coast seaboard it is guarded by crevassed glacier vai- leys, and pack-ice which makes access to the coast extremely dif- fcult, and from the west, by the formidable barsler of the ice-cap, which, rising-to 9,000 ft. above sea-level, stretches across the con- tinent.
The British party chose to at- tack it from the west
The pre- liminary crossing of the ice-cap added 600 miles am already ain- |"bitious sledging journey. The party crossed it in five weeks, and then carried through their scien- tide programme to the end in spite of great hardships from hunger, cold, and fatigue.

Meanwhile, two other expedi- tions, French and Italian, - who tried to explore the cominon ob- Jective from the east, falled to penetrate the pack-ice to the coast. Lieut. Lindsay's party, after sledging in all -1,180° miles, for 1,080 of which they had been an entirely self-supporting party, arrived at the end of their great journey of 103 days with 24 days' food in hand
On arrival at 811 Eskimo en- campment they were able to take of their clothes for the first time for fifteen weeks. A week later they were taken off by an Aber- deen fishing vessel, the Jacinth.

THE AFFAIRS OF CELLINI
The Story Of A Great Lover, A Great Artist-The Most Charming
;
Rascal Of All Time
(By LEWIS ALLEN BROWNE)
...
Benvenuto trained his runs on this house and fired. A corner of the house fell. Benvenuta Cellini is something of a musician, considerable of a philanderer and, even though only a young man, famous as a master of the goldsmith's craft. His only real love, Della Santini, is supposed to have changed her mind and to have gone away with her mother. Benvenuto has to fire from his native Florence in about the year 1625. He sets up a shop in Rome and in making a case for the Bishop of Salamanca, unwittingly makes an enemy of him, whereupon a dozen fellow countrymen of the Bishop, Spaniards, go to steal the vase, and to beat the young goldsmith to death. At his fragile door, he dwaits the rufinas with a small gun he had made for bild shooting.
The prelate, who had been unable to make Benvengto give ap the vase until it was paid for, was with the Spanish ruffians, giving them instructions.
Smash in, get the vase safely, and then have your will with" the young fool!" he ordered, riding his mule close to the door to "Benvenuto's quarters.”
Benvenuto thrust the muzzle of his shining gun through the lat tice of his door.
"Come closer, you miserable renegades!" he called, sternly. "I Invite you to come closer, and 3 will blow out whatever silly stuff. may be in your heads in lieu of brains!"
