Perilous Hunting In the Far North.
The dangers Of the pursuit OF sci
ence are illustrated by an experience
Of DR.. Rudolph n. Anderson, the 20
ologist with the Stefanson expedition
to the arctic. He and four Eskimos
were hunting caribou and Barren
ground bears In the mountains south
Of Langton bay. The hills were white
with snow. The party sighted ten
caribou. Immediately made camp and
started out to pursue the herd, says
the Denver Republican. They caught
and killed eight. DR.. Anderson re-
NAMED with the carcasses in order to
skin two specimens scientifically
When this laborious job was finished
darkness had fallen. DR.. Anderson
started back to find camp In the snow
and went astray. All night long he
wandered among the labyrinth OF little
lakes. frozen water courses. hills and
gullies. He knew he must not stop
walking, as he would freeze to death
On account of his rugged condition,
however. the rays Of the late morning
sun found him still on his feet and
moving With daylight he was able
to recognize features Of the treeless
landscape and find his Eskimos.
