st. Petersburg.-A contributor to
the Vechernaya Vremya describes one
OF the meetings of the friends Of
DEATH" suicide league which is said
to- have a large membership in st.
Petersburg.
The meeting. which was held In a
house in the heart OF the city, began
early In the evening. in order not to
excite the attention of the police, and
for the same reason the members ar
rived singly, many by the back en-
trance. The attendance included men
and women, young and old. Several
of the men we're In uniform.
The large meeting room was thick
ly carpeted. and heavy curtains
masked the windows. Over the door
was the inscription. "All hope aban-
don. ye who enter here" On the door
two crossed scythes were shown on
flaming red background

man and other apostles OF pessimism
were hung on the walls; also a large
picture portraying the legendary dis
puta between Life and Death. A few
candles gave the only light BY which
the proceedings were conducted. The
president and other committeeman sat
at long table covered with a black
cloth, on which was an urn in which

water was then three and half feet
deep.
Outside, the walk had been ripped
up and stream was shooting 25 feet
in the air from bursted 1s-inch pipe.
Nobody knew how to stop the fiow and
in was half an hour before the water
was shut OF.
Meanwhile the Easements In all the
houses in the neighborhood had been
flooded and many tenants were busy
carrying furniture into the street and
to upper stories.
1t was necessary for the police to
place guards over the furniture piled
in the streets. and while the food con-
tinued the reserves formed lines and
refused to permit any one to enter
the danger zone.

TO SEEK NEW LAND

the ice horizon It is figured that this
land. which mo- polar explorer has ever
visited, is in 100 west latitude and SO
north latitude. or about $50 miles
from Cape Thomas Hubbard, which is
the northern tip of Axel Heiberg
Land.
Men of science feel that the veri-
fication of these observations and de-
auctions by making long trip north
westward from Cape Thomas Hubbard
is the last great geographical problem
for solution.
The expedition viii leave Sydney
by special steamer on July 20. and
win establish winter quarters at
F7agler bay in north latitude 70. On
the way whale and walrus meat and
dogs will be collected and the ship
will be sent home. In September and
through the long arctic night. when
the moon is favorable, the supplies
win be sledged to Cape Thomas Hub
bard, $50 miles farther on toward the
goal.
When the arctic day begins to dawn
in February. 1913, the expedition win
push over the $50 miles Of ice to the
unknown Crocker Land, and II no
game is found the return to Cape
Thomas Hubbard will be made in the
following May. On the return to the
headquarters at Flagler bay scien-
tiiic work win be carried on in Grant
Land. and then the headquarters and
the collections win be transferred
southwark to Etah. the village OF the
most northerly Eskimos.
In the spring and summer Of 1914
the expedition to the interior Of Green
land will be made and an attempt
made to reach the summit of the great
ice cap at the middle of the widest
part of the island. No man has ever
been there. On the return to Etah
a,ship will be awaited to bring the ex-
petition back to civilization In the au-
tumn of 1914.
The expedition will be jointly In
charge OF Donald B. Macmillan and
