TO SEARCH FOR DIR. LEICHARDT.
Attempt to be Made to Find Traces of
the Lost Australian Explorer.

The geographical congress at Berlin
on Monday adopted a resolution invit-
ing the governments to send delegates
to the next congress authorized to dis
cuss plans for international co-opera-
ton in making official maps, record
ing earthquake phenomena and dis
patching an expedition to search for
traces of the explorer, who, after
achieving success that made him
famous, entered the interior desert
fitty-one years ago and was never
heard of again. He is almost the
only modern explorer of prominence,
swallowed up in the depths of some
unknown region, of whom no trace has
ever been found. While the world was
praising his second book, which he
never saw except in manuscript, he
disappeared from view and though a
number of search parties, stimulated
by offers of large rewards, went in
search of him their efforts were fruit
less.

others gave the work an impetus that
resulted in the complete revealing of
the continent in thirty years. DR..
Leichardt performed a similar SER
vice in Australia. He surpassed all
his predecessors in the extent of his
discoveries. An enthusiastic man
of science, he gave years to the explor-
alton and geological study of New
South Wales, and the book he wrote
on his work in that colony made him
we'll known before he started on his
first great inland journey. For six
teen months he and seven comrades
tramped through inner Australia, de-
food, though nothing was known
about it's resources. In this journey,
over 5000 miles long, he traversed the
inner part of Queensland, passing
from the temperate to the torrid zone,
mapping new rivers and mountain
ranges, describing many unknown
tribes, following the large Mitchell
river from it's source to the sea and
charting the north coast far west to
Port Essington one of the most north
ern points of the continent. The re-
suits of this work were equaled in
interest and Importance by few ex-
plorations in the first half of the CEN
fury and were achieved at tenth Of
the cost of many later expeditions.
Leichardt depended upon his own
slender resources, and his many con-
tributions to several branches of
science during this journey Of sixteen
months cost him exactly S625.
The book he then wrote was, from
end to end, a revelation of the I'M
known. While the English edition was
publishing in London and before the
translation appeared in Germany the
restless explorer started on the under
taking from which he never returned.
His purpose was to cross the Aus
tralian desert from east to west. 1t
was to be the first transcontinental
journey and he started with nigh hopes
from Moreton bay. Four months
later he was at Fitzroy downs in
Queensland and was about to strike
west into the desert. He was never
heard from again.-New York Sun.
