MYSTERY OF MOUNTAINS
Explorers, One a Woman, Attain
Highest Altitude in HimalaYas.


Two well-known explorers, DIR. and
Mrs. Bullock Workman, have arrived in
Paris from India. The doctor talks in

was in the UNEMPLOYED Minkum range.
From our camps on a snow plain sur

take photographs, as the mist was in
creasing. while Mrs. Workman climbed to
peak 23,300 feet above the level of the
sea. Only once was this record broken,

1894 feet. During the last five days
of our climb. the atmosphere was so rare
we were unable to sleep. Avalanches in

huts with white goats. fowls. marmots
and strange animals. At $4,000 feet the
Workmans saw only species of part
ridge and a pair of enough birds. The
doctor said above 10000 feet there was
practically no life.

NEW YORK.

Freezing weather and snow have hurt
trade and retarded crop preparations and
growth in the Northwest, while low tenn
peratures and heavy rains affect southern
distribution and crop growth and meas
uratly influence distribution in the cen-
trail West and East. Despite the be-
tween-seasons period. and the slowness of
retail; trade and collections, there are Few
complaints coming from jobbing and,
wholesale lines, except that filling-in or
ders are light and that retail stocks are
reported heavy. One explanation of this
is that jobbers and wholesalers had a
very heavy volume of business booked, de-
liveries upon which have been slow, and
the lull has enabled the latter branches
to catch up measurably with demands.
Demands from wholesalers, therefore.
while smaller than some months ago,
have been sufficient to keep all actively
engaged. and crop and trade develop
ments from now on will be closely watch
ed to allow of proper appreciation OF
future needs of fall trade.

Railway Accidents at Night.

George NJ Stratton. the Johps Hop
kins university expert on railway statis-
tics. discusses in the May Century the
subject of railway disasters at night and
makes practical suggestions for change
of system which would minimize acct
dents. Prof. Stratton wants to shift the
responsibility of the travellers safety from
the color faculty to the space sense by
making the vane of the semaphore lunin-
GUS at night. Such line of fire would
be strikingly different from the usual
lights of buildings or streets, and would
stand out distinct from the colored lights
which it might seem wise to continue for
other purposes. This continuous line OF
light. moreover. would be visible at far
greater distance than is the present single
light. 1t would at once remove all need
of discerning whether the light burned
white or green or red, with all the risk
which the distinction brings. 1t would
be virtually continuing at night the same
system of signals which ~ used during
the day.

One Kitchen for the Town.

The women of Montclair, New Jersey
suburb of New York, have projected
domestic service corporation for le pur-
pose of doing away with the druid gerry of
the kitchen and substituting for il CEN
trail plant, which shall prepare all the
family's food, bring it to the house three
times a day and take away the soiled
dishes, leaving to the housewife only the
pleasant task of adjoining the table as
may suit her fancy. Some of the advan-
tagcs claimed for this plan are the solu-
ton OF the servant problem, the combi-
nation of frst-class hotel service with
the comforts and privacy of ones own
home, absolute freedom from the care and
worry of providing for the table and a
cost for the highest grade of food prepared
in the very best manner probably not ex-
ceeding that for the average family table.
The corporation may extend its service
so as to include laundry work, houseclean-
ing, lawn moving and gardening.
