AvIATORS GET DUCKING.
Curtiss' Hydroplane Springs Leak
and Sinks in San Diego Ray.

SAN DIEGO. Cal, March 3.-Employes
of Glenn H. Curtiss. the aviator, were al
work today repairing the hydroplane that
he has used in his land and water expert
ments here. 1t developed that the hy-
droplane, with Curtiss as pilot and G. ..
Whtmer as passenger, sprang a leak
when it settled on the surface OF the bay
late yesterday and sank SO quickly that
both men received ducking.
The machine came down at a steep
angle and struck the water with much
force, displacing the bottom of the pon-
toon. The float filled rapidly and the
machine sank, the aviatOrs escaping by
swimming.
Motor boats later hauled the hydroplane
to the beach, it having sunk in shallow
water.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
Immense Sums Being Spent to In

From The Iron Age.

| From the Iron Age.
| No one knows definitely how many men
are injured in industrial accidents in the

there are from 3O,cOO to 33,O3O fatal and
not less than oOCO, COO non-fatal accidents
every year.
| A case was recently brought to atten-
/ ton where a factory inspector in one Of
| the western states called for safety de-
vices in one plant which would require
the expenditure of $4,000 This would
| have paralyzed the resources of the small
orga nization that owned the plant II the

Dying Abroad.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The cost of living at home does not
compare with the cost of dying abroad
Not very long ago our consul general at
Havana issued a warning to Americans
not to arrange for their decease in Cuba
He had done what he could to protect an
American widow from extortion, but all
he could do was very little and she was
fined more than 81 600 for allowing her
husband to die on the premises. The
health authorities and the police authori-
ties and a few other branches of the Ha-
vana government grabbed a few hundred
dollars each. The hotel proprietor pre-
tended that he had got to refurnish his
entire house or see his business shrivel.
And now two Americans have died In
Marienbad and it cost one widow more
than 81 100 and the other S1,5OO. The
Europeans make SO much money on live
Americans that 1t would seem as II they
might deal gently with the dead ones. but
they have even less reInOrse in robbing
the corpse than i'm robbing the living. IL
YOU are going to die in Marienbad by all
means die ea1lier in the week than Satur-
day. IL you put it off TIL the end of the
week they will charge you $500 instead of
$500 for embalming on Sunday.
Is II decent thing for the harpies OF
foreign health office and the under
takers and the hotel men and the police
TO fatten on the dead bodies and to take
advantage of the extremity of the sur
TO extort a small fortune for their vari-
Gus services, real and pretended? The

Healey's 'Webster's Reply to Hayne.

From the Boston Transcript
Taking recognition of the reports that
the art commission is considering the re-
duction In size of the famous picture in
Faneuil Hall. ''Webster's Reply to

raises a word of protest against altering
the portrait.
II do not believe in this move" he
said 1.-THE art commission may be per-
but Faneuil Hall, 1 take 1T, Is dedicated
to patriotism, and is not designed for
an esthetically we'll balanced picture gal
lery
.~The picture has been well enough as
ii is for the last fifty years, and / see
enough as II is for fifty years to come.
Faneuil Hall s not all that an architect
could desire, but its main purpose Is pre-
served. to inculcate patriotism and 10y
atty into citizens.
THE picture of 'Webster's Reply to
Hayne, a speech that every youngster
knew by heart when / was schoolboy.
should not be marred. II the art COM
mission is allowed to do this there seems
10 be no assurance that within a few
years some other commission will not be
parting and slicing at the common to
make it more artistic. or putting a school
building in the public garden, or pulling
down the Old South Church because 1t
or renovating the Bulfinch front on Bea-
con Hill
IT person is dissatisfied with the
Faneuil Hall paintings as they now are
he can always go up to the Art Museum
and get his fill of art of the highest
type.
II can remember back to the days
when the painting of Webster's reply
was not in the hail l knew G. p. A.
Healey, the artist, personally. Perhaps
that is why | am conservative in this
matter But it is certain that my feeling
is, Don't touch 1t.
THE art commission. not this one in
particular, but, the commission in general.
has funny ideas. it seems to me. They
want everything to harmonize. Nova
days Ii a woman has on blue stockings
she must have a blue parasol too.
don't believe in that. / believe in a sort
of natural harmony. and II seems TO me
that the historical Significance of Healey $
painting is such that it simply could not
be out of harmony with it's surroundings
where it now hangs. Let it alone.
