on farther. Their total journey inland
from. Disco bay was about 200 miles,
nearly une-half the distance across the
island in that latitude. At their farthest
point they were nearly 5000 feet above
the sea This great icc-Cap is believed by
the best authorities to be from 1000 10
1900 feet thick. The land ON which it
rests rises higher above the sea. and thus,
by the force of gravtation, the great ice
rivers of Greenland make their way to the
ocean, into which they launch their thou
sands of icebcrgS.

years ago, following II route Il little north
of Nordcnskjold'S to penetrate So far that
he could at least see Mount petcrmann,
which rises snow-clad from the east coast
to an altitude of H. eco feet. He was de
fcatcd in his purpose partly by stormy
weather. and after penetrating about one
hundred miles under exceptional ditli-
culties he returned to the west coast. He
found himself AT the turthcst point he at

THE FAMOUS CLUB OF PARIS.
Some Curious Rules and Relies of the

that no stranger can cross the threshold Of

parlorS opening from the staircase which
are considered aS outside the clubs do

while they send in their names. Another
odd feature of the club is Il long
