Numbering Houses.

The now almost universal custom or
numbering private houses so that they
can be easily identified is only little
more than 900 years old 1t was in the
year 1913 that this idea struck the
fancy of PariSian architect. but il
was not until nearly three centuries
latpi that the system became ut ali
general
la Berlin an eccentric method of
numbering the houses was first adopt
ed. They were numbered without any
reference whatever to the name OF the
street. A tenants address would be
described merely as 1000 Berlin. In
st Petersburg an excellent wa! of dis
playing the numbers is employed lit
tie lanterns bear the numbers GA the
glass so thai they can be seen afteg

Macaulay. the houses of london We're
not numbered. and there would. indeed

which the most ignorant could under
