" Philadelphia scientists are Interested In the seven-year voyage of exploration to Btart next spring (or the purpose of dls cAvering and charting Islands and rocks In every sea. nnd ocean, the exact location of which Ih now Unknown. A. Foster Stackhouse, who will com mand the expedition, has been In this fclty conferring with the ofllcers nnd mem bers of the Geographical Society on the jiroject for somo time. The International Oceanographlcat ex pedition Is the title given to the venture In England, where It originated. Pri marily It una the Intention of Mr. Staek Jiousc to chart onty the multitude of small ( Islands nnd rocks around the entrances ko the Panama Canal. At present theso Islands constitute n menace to naviga tion, ns heretofore there never has been ' pieces? Ity for charting them. The ship Discovery will be used on the voyage. It was built under the super vision of the British Admiralty, which parly In the planning recognized the Im portance of the charting expedition and requested the commander to enlnrge Its icopc. New lines of investigation have toecn suggested by teveral other Govorn- i incuts and by scientific societies. . Commander Stackhouse has gone to Washington, where he is staying nt the jCosmos Club. He Is expected to return to this city for further conferences with , scientific men the middle of next month, while- no nctlon has been taken so far 1 2' the societies here to appropriate funds ' rfor the expenses of the voynge, It Is ' understood Hint the Individual member ore well disposed toward It. Considerable scientific data that will e of the utmost value to the explorers will be piovlded by the Geographical So ciety here and Its members. Scientists nt Washington also will co-opernte. The Discovery will sail for this coun try from England next spring. It has not been decided whether or not It will ome to this city. A stop nt Washington ot about three weeks to enable those who will go on the voyage to study the Intest American charts will be made. Commenting on this. Commander Stack house said: 'I expect to obtain valuable Information Jit to uncharted Islands, rocks and shoals n the oceans of thf world from sclentlllo todies In Washington. '-'Every year many a bravo ship sots out from port. Is spoken perhaps once or twice nt sea and then Is heard of no more. She vanishes without sign or ex Iilantlon. What happens to these vessels? "Britain In supposed ft rulo tho waves. 3t's up to us now to find out what's un der them. In three years shlpi hnvo loft port and have never been heard of again, representing a tonnage of 131,615 and lOT men. "Of thes6 67.RS0 were British tonnage and CG.773 foreign. Assuming cargo and vessel to have been worth JIM a ton, thai means a clear loss of J12.0C0 a day, to say nothing of six lives a day. "Near the spot where the Titanic sank ubmerged rocks or Islands have been re Tortcd on three different dates In 1S06, 1S27 and 1655. They probably represent a husc submerged rock or volcano, prob ably the tall of the Great Bnnk of New foundland, around which Icebergs and ice. attracted and held by gravitation, have gathered. If the tall of the great bank Is really near where thn Titanic sank, ships would give that place a wide berth In the future."

BRYN MAWR IS AROUSED Clrls Indigrnant Over New Bule Against "Cutting." Students of Bryn Mawr College are Wghly Indignant today over the new rule announoed by the faculty against absence from classes, commonly known as "cut ting," and heretofore permitted. A pen alty of one per cent, of marks for each of the first eight cuts, and two per cent, ior each cut after that Is provided by the Jiew rule, A meeting of the students to protest gainst the new order may be held to day, and when Dr. M. Carey Thomas, president of the Institution, returns today he will be petitioned to make It less drastic. Nearly alt big colleges and universities permit a certain amount of cutting. Heretofore there has been no rule to cover the practice at Bryn Mawr and the students realize that It has been abused. At the same time they think an absolute rule against it Is too harsh. Dean Isabel Maddlson, in charge of Jiubllclty work for the college, said to day that the new rule Is a small matter. She declared the rule against cutting has always existed and the only new action taken was to affix a penalty for viola tion, as the students would not obey otherwise. WILL HONOR E. E.

Committee Will Investigate. If tho freshmen of the University of Pennsylvania do not Hvo up to traditional rules of conduct, somebody Is going to hear about It. Tho somebody will be the refactory freshmen nnd tho authority will be tho senior class. President "Jimmy" Patterson, of the senior class, has nppolnted a committee to see that the freshmen rules aro ob served by all the freshmen. No subject has been more discussed on the University campus than the Increas ing negligence of each enteilng class to live up to the time-honored customs. Since 1911, when hazing was prohibited, each year has seen a more flagrant disregard of the regulations. Fewer black eyes huve been worn. Freshmen failed to carry matches and violated the other mles. A movement for tho re-estubllshment of hazing was itnrted Inst ear on account of the open disregard nnd arrogance of some of last year's freshmen. To prevent a repetition of this nnd to effect a compromise between those clamoring for the good old days of hazing nnd (tho faculty prohibition of hazing, the com mittee was appointed to act ns a triounal. In the architectural department, where a better esprit dp corps obtulns than In the other departments, the tlme-honoicd custom of "tubhlm;" freshmen ontlnues. Whenever a fieshmen gets "fresh" among the architects he Is given his Pennsyl vania baptism under the filnk. He Is im mersed until he li sure that he has learned that a "freshle's" place Is to be seen nnd not hoard. "Sink parties" ar fienuent In the de partment, nnd serve tho double purpose of keeping tho youngsters In their place and providing a delightful diversion for the upperelassmen. Tho architectural freshmen as a result nre the best behaved "freshles" on tho campus and do not need as much supervision as their mates in the other departments, wno are not as closely associated with uppcrclassmen. FIRE DESTROYS LANDMARK Famous Old Structure Once Fronted on Germantown Avenue. Fire removed a famous old German ton n landmark enrly this morning, when the 2li-story frame structure in the rear of 7313 Germantown avenue was de stroyed.

HOW TO SELL SEALS m MU MUSS VYUttn FOR CONSUMPTIVES Delegates to Tuberculosis Conference Discuss Ways and Means for This Cam paign at First Session. More than ft hundred delegates aa sdmblcd at the First North Atlantlo Tuberculosis Conference held thin morn ing the South Garden of the Bellevue Btrattord. The entire work of the first session, which lasted for two hours, was given over to discussions of the ways nnd means of furthering1 tho sale of Red Cross seals and advertising the campaign In general. Tho conference embraces the States of Now York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Marylnnd, Virginia and tho District of Columbia, and all its dist ricts were represented. Dr. William Charles White, of Pittsburgh, president of the association, was the chairman. Charloa !M. DeForcst, sales manager of the Red Cross Sales of the State Chari ties Aid Association of Now York, was tho first speaker. Ills topic was the new method of selling seals by mail as tried In New York. Paul 13. Batzell, executive secretary of the Association for the Rcllof and Con trol of Tuberculosis, of Buffalo, spoko on the large part that the school children can play In the selling and distribution of Red Cross seals. In Buffalo, he said, prizes had been offered to the chlldron who sold the greatest number, and to tho schools holding the best records type writers and pianos had been given. In this way the children were responslblo for more than DO per cent, of the annual sales. Ifo caused laughter, however, by saying that tho scheme, despite Its apparont practicability, had to b eabandoned be cause It was found that certain children, not the hardest workers by any means, but those who got money from home to help their campaigning, were winning all the prizes. Tho place of John Fox Weiss, chair man of the Red Cross Christmas Seal Committee, of Harrlsburg. who was scheduled to speak on publicity and ad vertising, but who was unable to bo present.' was taken by E. A. Jloreo, publicity agent for the Charities Aid of New York city. Jlr. Moree dectied tho policy of attempting to get any results from the so-called free advertising. To receive any recognition in the news columns of a paper, said ho, It was "often necessary to insert an ad in pro portion to the amount of space desired " Frank H. Mann, Secretary of the New York City Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis In New York, spoke on the most pffectlvc placing of booths, and Mrs. Theodora N. McLaughlin, secretary of the Red Cross Chapter of the District of Columbia, the last speaker.
