DIE IN BLIZZARDS
SIDNEY, N. S. W., Feb. 25 Two
members of Mawson's Antartic scien
tific expedition Lieutenant B. E. S.
Missis, an Englishman, and Dr. Metz,
a Swiss have perished from cold in
Wilkes Land and others have suffer
ed privations, according to a wireless
message received today from Adelie.
All except Dr. Metz and Missis have
arrived at Adelie, too late to catch
the steamer Aurora, the last steamer
f the season. The party will camp
near Adelie until spring.
The Mawson expedition sailed from
Sydney December 19, 1911.
Before sailing on the last trip of
the season, the Aurora picked up all
nembers of the xpedition except
Mawson and six companions. It then
proceeded to Adelie to get them, but
s they had not arrived there the
Aurora left, fearing she would be froz
en into the ice if she remained long
er. The wireless declared: "Doctor
Douglass Mawson and several men
missed the Aurora, which went to
aid them. Lieutenant B. E. S. Missis
of the City of London regiment of
fusilliers and Dr. Metz, the ski cham
pion of Switzerland in 1908, members
of the expedition are both dead. The
others are well. Mawson and six of
his companions will probably winter
at Adelie. Some very successful sled
ding excursions have been made dur
ing the sojourn in the Antartic."
Largest Crater on the Earth.
The volcano Aso-san. in southern
Japan, on the island of Kiushu. pos
sesses the largest crater known on the
earth. It is about fourteen miles
across in one direction by ten or
eleven in the other and is surrounded
by walls vt an average height of 200
feet. Although the volcano is still ac
tive, its eruptions consist only of ashes
and dust. Indeed, a range of volcanic
mountains, evidently of subsequent
fonnatiici. extends directly across the
old crater. In these particulars Aso
san resembles some of the craters of
the moon, where a long history of suc
cessive and gradually enfeebled out
breaks of volcanic force is graphically
represented.
Oldest City In the World.
Icomum. or Konia. as it Is better
known today, in Asia Minor, 300 miles
east of Smyrna, held by jonie archaeol
ogists to be-the oldest city in the world,
derived .its name from the elkones, or
images of mud. which, according to the
ancient legend of the place, were made
by Prometheus and Athena at the com
mand of Jupiter, who after the great
flood eaused the winds to blow upon
the elkones and they became living
men and women. Thus, according to
this tradition. Iconium was the first
place settled after the flood. Argonaut.
