TO GO TO PORTO RICO.
Botanists VIII Leave New York In
der Mr.. Vanderbilt's Auspices

Under the auspices of the New York
Botanical Garden Directorate an expedi-
ton will shortly be dispatched to Porto
Rico TO study the flora of the newly
acquired United States territory. and 10
send back specimens of its plants. flowers
and fruits. DR.. y. z. Britton is the in
stigator of the movement. and Cornelius
Vanderbilt has volunteered to bear the
expense of the scientific investigation.
The plan OF the expedition is DR.. Brit
tons own. In his own words, There is
nothing too good for New York and the
specimens that will be obtained in Porto
Rico will be of great value There is
very little known of the flora OF the ISL
and. he says. There is hardly specimen
in any of the botanical museums of the
country, and there are few. If any. in
Europe. Believing that the work of fill
ing this lack could not be begun zoo
quickly. DR.. Britton wrote 10 Mr. Wander
bilt and received his favorable reply.
The details of the expedition are not yet
fully arranged. a A Heller. an expert
enced collector, and a man regarded as
thoroughly capable of doing the work
will be engaged. Mr.. Heller has recently
returned from a trip 10 the Hawaiian Isl
ands, where he made thorough study Of
the flora of two of them. and the Botani-
cal GardeH in New York now has a set
of the speciments he collected
Upon reaching the island pack mules
will be obtained and means provided for
taking the party and the collecting outfit
into the interior. The outfit Will consist
largely of drying paper for the dry speci-
mems, and formaline for those that are
to be preserved in a natural state. For
maline is a satisfactory material for this
purpose, IL can be taken dry and pre-
pared as 1t is needed. Six months work
Dr. Britton believes, will enable the party
to do its task thoroughly. He expects
possibly some things entirely new may
be discovered.
The specimens with the notes will be
sent back 10 New York from time to time
and the whole will form the basis of a
work that will be published the following
year. The collection when il is complete
will. DR.. Britton says, be another step
in the road the museum is travelling to-
ward a condition where il will be re-
garded not only by New York but BY the
whole country with genuine pride
Mr.. Heller is expected to return within
a few days from Arkansas, where he has
been making study of the flora of that
State. and a set of these specimens will
also enrich the museum collection. There
are already there some 15.009 specimens
collected by Dr. A Rydberg. who. made
an expedition with two assistants into
the State of Montana last year. This ex-
pedition, which was absent during an en-
tire season. was under the patronage OF

of the garden. who paid the expenses

A Priest. Big Strike.

Vancouver correspondence st. Louis Rapublic)
Advices received here today by the
steamship Miowera, from Sydney, Aus
tralia. say a great sensation has been
created throughout the anupodes by the
discovery near Lake Wynn of gold mug
get weighing lis pounds and valued at
So, 600. The nugget was found by Father
Long, q Catholic missionary. News OF the
discovery spread, and six thousand per-
sons assembled outside Donnellan's tav-
ern, at Manowana, West Australia. Au-
gus, 16 to listen to the priests story.
Father Long said that he had been
placed in an enviable position regarding
the nugget. He termed it sacred" and
golden SICKLE" so-called because il had
been found by him as the agent of a
poor, bedridden but faithful parishioner
who had been visited by a spirit, which
told him where the gold could be found
The sickle of gold" it was added had
once before been possessed by men, Fol-
lowing the directions of the parishioner
Father Long found the sickle-shaped mug
get. 1t was lying, unsullied and untouch-
ed, six feet under ground. a quarter of a
mile from the nearest lake, on the Kar-
nalpi Road, leading out of Manowana
There was wild stampede of prospect
ors to the scene. Every vehicle went tear
ing at breakneek speed along the road,
and before the day was out thousands of
men. women and children were digging
for precious metal. Up to the time the
ste mer sailed, however, there had been
no fresh discoveries.
Father Longs nugget Is shaped like a
sickle, and looks if it had been poll
ished by some goldsmith. The gold Is of
the finest quality. Some believe that the
cave of pirates has been unearthed. and
that the bedridden man who claimed to
have been visited by a spirit possessed
the secret of the hidden wealth.
