PROF. ELLIOT ELATED.
Returns from African Trip After secsr-
ting Many Specimens.

After successful trip to Africa in
search Of specimens for the Field Co
lumbar museum, Prof. ID. G.. Elliot,
head of the expedition which started
out in March, arrived in Chicago the
other evening.
Hundreds of rare animals and ar
Genealogical curios without number
were secured in the dark continent and
the explorers are enthusiastic over the
results of their trip. The territory sur
rounding the Gulf of Alden was the
principal searching ground of the party
and tribes which had seldom or never
before seen white men were visited and
invaluable treasures secured
The principal object OF the expedj-
ton was TO secure specimens of the
larger mammals and of birds. insects
and reptiles. In this, as well as ia the
collection of archaeological curos, the
explorers were successful beyond eX-
pectation and skins and specimens
which, it is estimated, will take three
years to mount are expected TO arrive
at the museum within a few days.

our trip" said Prof. Elliot. I'VE have
secured a collection of specimens and
curios the value of which cannot be es-
timated. Some of the skins which we
bring back are of animals which are al.
most extinct, ard we also secured
many rare birds and insects. We made
three expeditions in all into the interior
OF the country, and, while we suffered
grest deal from the heat and lack OF wa
ter, the success we were attaining kept
us up and we pulled through all right
