The Academy Of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia, has issued call for subscrip-
lions to the fund for the Relief Expedition
to be sent after Lit. r. r. Peary, now in
Greenland. 1t will be remembered that
Mrs. Pcary. who is niece of Mrs. F. U.

Peary contributed $4,000 to the original
expedition. a main feature of which is to
traverse over 600 miles of the inland ice to
determine the Northern boundary of Green
land. On his return he will have to pass
300 miles in open boats through Melville
Bay. There are but seven persons with him
and his wife, and relief is deemed impera-
tive. Any contributions to the fund will
be received at the VINDICAToR office and
transmitted to Gavin W. Hart, Treas urer
Of the Fund at Philadelphia, OF it may be
sent to him direct
