BRITISH ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION.
Some idea of the huge quantities required for an expedition of this nature and length may be gathered from the fact that the insignificant item of salt alone weighed three-quarters of a ton. The Cerebos Salt Company .supplied the previous expedition, and Captain Hcot't entrusted them with his order for the present one. The wood used in making the cases is of tho lightest but strongest character, and each case is bound round""all the scams, the whole being thus ensured against rough weather and rough usage, whether on board or over the. icefields. It is a feather in the cap of the Cerebos Company that, in addition to tho many marks of scientific approval they have id ready received, and the Itoyal patronage which they have for so many years enjoyed, Cerebos Salt should have been selected by thi6 carefully planned scientific expedition as the best salt obtainable.
