LONDON. March 11.-Miss May Richardson, who is militant suffra gette by profession and somewhat on the purist order of Doctor Parkhurst bS inclination, believes in "art for arts sske" only when it applies to paint il.gs of gods and gOddesses in the conventional attire of the day and no slit skirts at that, and in covering the limbs of all of the dear little cupids and other winged angels ana things that the old masters scattered around their works with the latest fashions In infantile underwear.
 tA any rate when arrested yesterday for maliciously slashing one of the most famous pictures in the National Gallery she gave as a reason of her act of vandalism that the painted lady whom Valesques had put upon the canvas years before the modern st1f- was an immOdest creature and that she ought to be ashamed of herself to be hanging around any art gallery With nothing more on than the some what insolent smile with which the bcod old artist had endowed her.

Stackhouse Expedition Will Have Az,
iator Explore King Edward VII
Land-Leader Will Make No
Attempt to Reach Pole.

London, England.-The steamer Dis
used in his first antarctic voyage, has
been chartered by the British antarc-
tic expedition which is to be com
manded by j. Foster Stackhouse,
and will leave London about the first
Of August for the far South. Mr..
Stackhouse, whose exploratory work
heretofore has been confined to Ice
land, will make no attempt to reach
the pole. His main purpose will be to
determine the coast line of King Ed.
ward VII land on one side Of the
Antarctic circle. and Graham's land
on the other.
Between these two sections of dis
covered land stretches a vast and
practically uneXplored region. The
expedition will attempt to determine
whether this intervening space is land
or sea-, whether King Edward VII land
is part of the great Antarctic cont.
nent or merely set in the frozen sea.
The existence OF Graham's land,
Coat land, Enderby land and Kemp
land on the Atlantic border of the
great ice barrier, as We'll as the dis
covery OF land South by Lieut.. Fitch
ner Of the German expedition in 1911,
support the continental theory. On
the other hand the great area of pack
ice massed OF the North and West
coasts of King Edward VII land points.
Mr.. Stackhouse suggests, to the drift
OF ice northWard from the Weddell
sea to the Ross sea, presumably
through a strait separating King Ed
ward VII land from Graham's land.
This is the most %southerly of Brit
ish possessions, for the whole region
between meridian 20 degrees west
and meridian so degrees west is
claimed for the British crown. The
information which the expedition will
obtain as to harbors. whaling stations
and sealing grounds will be Of great
service to the whaling industry of the
Falkland islands.
In the crew Of the Discova~g there
will be IS men and in addition there
will be five scientists, several Of the

titic observations. They VIII have an
aeropfane for Photographic survey
work and this, too, will be useful in
enabling the leader to choose the best
route when he wishes to advance.

MEANS OUTLAY OF MILLIONS
What Il Woa:d Cost the country's
Railroads to Replace Wooden
Cars With Steel Ones.

That it will cost the railroads $614..
619,1OO to comply with the proposed
FEDERAL law requiring them to replace
their present wooden passenger equip
ment with steel cars is the statement
contained in a bulletin issued by q
special committee on relations of rail-
way operation to legislation which
represents all Of the leading rail lines
In the country.
The annual interest charge on this
amount at 5 per cent. would total $780,
730,955. According to the committee.
the construction Of wooden passenger
equipment practically has ceased. and
rapid strides are being made toward
fully equipping railways with either
steel or steel underframe cars.
Reports received by the committee
from PAT companies operating 227,754
miles Of track, disclose that between

year orders were placed for LAO pas

porter and Travellers News. Specifi-
cations for 1,O64, or 1913 per cent. of
these car provide for all steel con
struction. while the remaining cars
have steel UNDERTAKINGS.
A table prepared by the committee
shows that Of 1880 passenger equip
ment vehicles acquired in 1909 by the
rail lines, &c per cent. were built OF
steel. 22.6 per cent. had steel under
frames and 51.4 per cent. were con
structed of wood.
In 1912 the railroads purchased
1850 cars for passenger service, and
Of the total 6S,7 per cent. were OF
steel and only 10.4 per cent. of wood
A comparison OF tho number Of steel
passenger equipment cars in use Janu

hat there was an increase during
that period of 1.055 per cent.

PECULIAR bUR|ALS
Graves Of Alaskan Tribes Show
Many Strange Customs.
Some Are Of the crudest Character
While With Others Great Pains Are
Taken in Honorino Their Dead
and Keeping Memory Green.

New York.-The graves and burial
places of the native Alaskan tribes
show a variety Of strange CUSTOMS
Some are Of the crudest character.
while with others the Alaskan Indians
go to great pains In honoring their
dead and keeping their memory
green. This is literally true with
the natives Of Prince Of Wales island,
where large tree trunks are erected
ear their houses, the insides hol-
lowed out and the collins OF the dead
members Of the family placed upright
therein. These trunks arc planted
with the butts at the top and on these
dirt is placed In which are planted
small trees and bushes. The general
effect is rather pretty and decorative.
although of course having the body OF
your dead mother-in-law just outside
and on a level with your window
would not probably appeal strongly to
most people. The. Alaskans insist
upon maintaining this peculiar burial
custom even where the missions have

influence.
Another burial cu1tom in vogue
near Ketchikan is to guard the grave
! OF the dear departed with strange
looking effigies carved out Of wood, in
which the natives display consider
able skill. These figures are given
the shape of both human and animal
forms. The natives have no particu-
lar pride as to the material they use
for graveyard decoration. White
mems boards, or parts Of old or
wrecked ships are utilized in grave
making where they are available, but

BIG FACTOR IN RAILROADjNG

HAS DONE GOOD WORK
RECORD OF THE "SAFETY FIRST"
MOVEMENT.
Not Alone on railroad Lines, but
Wherever Hazardous Work 10
Performed, Employees Have
Been Quick to See Its Value.

When the safety first" movement,
adopted a little more than two years
ago by one OF our great railroad cor
porations, has reduced by nearly %
per cent. the number of fatalities on
us line. is it any wonder hat nearly
all the railrc ads in the United States
and Canada have kept it up and made
y a WatchwCrd among their employees?
Not only on railroads but in factories
and iron mills, and, in fact, wherever
there is hazardous work 10 be per-
formed, no matter what the nature Of
IT may be. the movement is spread
ing
me business Of transportation re-
cures that more than ordinary pre-
caution should be taken to safeguard
operation from accidents. and while
IN all railroad operation the safety of
passengers is the first consideration.
me problems presented in protecting
employees in many respects are identi-
cal, and in safeguarding the latter the
safety OF the public is also largely Sc
cured. 1t is really not a question OF
safeguard, but more Of intelligent eau
ton constantly exercised.
The aim of the safety first" move
ment is to teach each employee a sense
OF personal responsibility not alto
gether for his own safety but also for
the safety Of his fellow employees. 1t
teaches every man in the service so
to safeguard the operation Of the rail-
road that he works for that accidents
OF every kind shall be as few as hui
man foresight can make them.
Workmen themselves are in a large
part to blame for the many accidents
when they do not exercise the care
and caution required to prevent acct
dents. They should be taught to avoid
c~arelessness at all hazards.
Toe many men in railroad service
care nothing for the public's interest
or their employers; all they seem to
think of is the least work, no matter
how 1t Is done. 1t is this class Of
men who are responsible for the aw-
full statistics which show that one
railroad employe out Of every thirteen
and n trainman out of every eight
are killed in the United States every
year.
The problem of personal injury is
complicated by the multiplication of
safety devices, for this average holds
good even when perfect equipment is
in use. Safety devices undoubtedly
help, but 1t must always be remem-
beled that the most important part
Of the train service is the man behind
the steam power. It is the human
element that counts most in railroad
work.
1t is the object of the Safety first"
movement to reduce the number of
personal injuries among railroad men
by encouraging the spirit Of co-opera-
ton between the men and officials of
the railroad companies. When rules
are drafted by railroad officials for
the safety of it's employees, it is in the
long run to the advantage of the en-
ploye to obey them, although it may
seem at the time irksome.
