MAP OF WHOLE WORLD, PLAN OF SCIENTISTS

one for the aeronautical map, Admiral
Peary says in his report. may be
noted the following:
ITO convoke another official con
ference, in Paris, near the end of the
current year, to which delegates from
all civilized countries are to be in
vited, to determine questions of de-
tail of a 100000 world map.
That the most important problems
to be settled in connection with the
international exploration of the north
Atlantic ocean relate to the size. he
regional extent and the nature Of
periodical variations of water layers
to the depth of 1000 meters. and Il
was recommended to continue sys
tematic observations upon ocean cur
rents and upon the temperature ant
salinity near the surface of the sea-
THAT the Royal Danish Geograph
ical society invite the general secre
taries of the principal geographical
societies of the world to meet in
Denmark in 1914 for the purpose Of
organizing a world union of geograph
ical societies.
ITO organize in each country during
the summer vacation periods of the
higher institutions of learning inter
national courses of instruction in
geography, in which foreign savants
would be invited to take part. The
plan contemplates also the founding
of an international geographical in
stitute, the seat of which is left for
later determination, this institute to
direct and coordinate the studies and
all geographical initiatives which have
an international character.
For the preparation of a universal

In Sir Cecil and Lady Spring-Rice
may be found another example OF the
liberal-minded, demoo- dc representa-
tives Of his Britannia majesty made
familiar in Mr.. and Mrs. James Bryce.
It fits entirely with the leveling proc
ess apparent everywhere that Great
Britain, hitherto aloof and caste-rid-
den, is represented here by a man
who knows this country as his own
and who has always manifested a
sincere admiration for republicanism

Ten other propositions of interna-
tional interest to geographers were
approved by the congress, the most
important of which are detailed in
Admiral Peary's report, which has
just reached the National Geograph-

of the delegates to the congress from

LADY spRlNe.RIcE A NAIVE OF WASHINGTON

I Spring-Rlce. is really whEs IL so
vaguely known as a cosmopolite. One
OF her chief joys. says her husband.
will be TO discover how many old
friends are now residing IN Washing
ton both in the diplomatic corps and
in American public life Sir Cecil was
promoted from the legation at Stock
holm to the embassy here, and the
same procedure marked the transfer
OF the present ambassador from Aus
trid-Hungary, M. Constantin Dumba
IL happens that tb'. is the fourth post
at which Sir Cecil and M. Dumba
have been colleagues and. of course,
they have become close friends, al
most brothers, and the same cordial
ties unite their wives and children.
OF the corps serving in Washing
ton Lady Cecil has known the Bel
gian minister and his American wife
MI. and Mrs. Havenith, the latter for
merly Miss Helen Ffoulke Of this
city. She also knew the Swiss min
lister when he was in Toxic. and the
minister from the Netherlands, Mr.
Loudon, and his wife, American-born
Lady Eustis of the well-known Lou
isiana family. who also came to Wash.
ington after residing for nearly ten
years in Japan. OF the officials In
public life the British ambassador
knows Senator and Mrs. Lodge very
we'll and they have also a close friend
ship with the former President and
Mrs. Roosevelt Indeed, bit of ex-
ceedingly interesting diplomatic Cos
sip was that when Germany sent to
Washington a close friend of the
presidents, Baron Speck Won Stern
bury. the minister of foreign affairs,
wavered for a time between the selec-
ton of Sir Cecil Spring-Rice and James
Bryce. and finally selected the latter
because of his greater age and ex-
perience.
Sir Cecil is endeavoring to carry
out some of the commissions of Lady
Rice in the arrangement of the en-
bassy. The British government fur
nished the home Of its envoy, but at
present it looks quite bare, stripped
of the private possessions Of the
Bryces and lacking those Of the new
family.

House of Retired Wives.

One of the most interesting houses
we saw in Algiers was the 'House of
the Retired Wives"
II stands directly opposite the Cath
olic cathedral, which was once the pal.
ace of the bey; and the House of the
Retired Wives is now occupied by the
archbishop.
When the bey was supreme in AL.
giers, before the intervention of France,
the palace contained several hundred
wives. And as new ones were fre'
quently added, old ones had to be re-
tired. So as wife became superflu.
GUS or undesired. for any reason, she
was sent across the street, where she
had much more freedom than in the
bey's palace; for there she was sup
posed to keep to her own apartments
and not wander about at will. In the
House of the Retired Wives she could
move about at will.
She left all jewels and valuable pres
ents which the bey had bestowed upon
her in the palace for her successors.

is caused by the sudden egress of the
