So far as can be ascertained, the expedition will be engaged for about a year, but towards the lat ter end of their trek it in scheduled that they will join the Roosevelt expedition which is making cross-country trip, landing at some point further west, having journeyed to the Orient vin Suez. The party were engaged yester- day in choosing equipment, in the local stores. Dr. Van Tyne, who must be nearly seven feet in height, attracted a great deal of attention. In conversation with the travellers, it was not possible to gain further information than that they hoped to obtain ornithological. and botanical specimens. They might be lucky in striking territories that were virgin. but nothing definite had been planned in this direction The route had been laid out and it would be followed according to plan.
