a crescent, painted blue, you stumble up dark flight of stairs to a large court, open to the sky and surrounded by covered gallery, into which great many doors lead, as into an ordinary street. Each door opens into room, the abode of a single family. The ground floor apartments are dim in deed; but the next tier, to which you ascend by winding back stair, Is con- siderably lighter. Above that, another flight of steps, also in the rear, leads to another floor; and maybe to another and another; the upper ones of course being most desirable, as all the doors and windows opening out on balconies. Above all, Ia terrace" as it is called, or the flat roof, is very important part of the domicile, for here the op- erations of washing and drying are carried on, and frequently the family abulitions. In the old stormy days of Algerian history, when it's citizens were notorious corsairs, christian slaves often escaped by night from the fortress which crowns the itopmost point, by leaping down from roof to roof of the houses, set one above an- other on terraces which are excavated in the mountain side, like gigantic steps to the sea.
