6rst-claAs steamship, of 1,A92 tons bur-
then; 10 about 256 feet long, with three

cial pleasures of travel.
Another interesting feature of the ex-
petition is the proposed organization Of

the same footing and pursue the came

practical navigation, infantry drill, swim
ming, and other branches,
All directions of study will be pursued
by the other members Of the expedition,
as Arts and Archaeology, Geology, Geog-
raphy, the Fauna and Flora of countries,
of which latter much is expected from
the valuable collections to be obtained.
The enterprise will be devoted purely to
scientific and educational interests, which
will be furthered in NO way 20 evidently
a. by an immediate observation of facts,
directed by the men who are to UNDER
take this work.-T0Iedo Blade.
