Dr. Fritz Nussbaum of the Univer-
sity of Berne, Switzerland, did not
naye a camera. Instead he had
batch of rough drawing paper and
pencil; and, while his confreres were
swapping the shutters OF their lio-
daks, he was outlining the contour
of the hills, rivers, etc, within his
range of vision. And, when he saw
one OF the party in n ludicrous posi-
tion, he forthwith forgot about his
scientific studies and. his sense OF
humor paramount, merrily sketched
in caricature the situation which had
appeaied to him.
There were several students in the
party, and their tutors, grizZled vet
Grams of laboratory and class room,
were Kept busy answering their ques-
tions
Director W. NJ. Davis was in charge
of the party; and, while he himself
was more than once absorbed by
something he had seen, he immedi-
ately forgot it when some member of
the party announced Times up.
Every stop was made on strict sched-
ule, and Prof. Davis saw that no de-
lay was occasioned at any point.
This trip represents daily eN-
penditure Of more than 300. Each
man eXpends, in transportation and
living expenses, from $40 to S25 per
day. The cars are palatial and en-
inently fitted for the uses of the ex-
plorers and investiga atoTs.
Most of the scientists spend their
usual time deep in the study of their
favorite subjects in libraries or lab
oratories. Two members of the par
ty, however, are more famed for their
explorations and travels. DR.. Cesare
Calciati of PiacenZa, Italy, and Vlad-
imir Doubiansky of st. Petersburg,
Russia, have made names for them
selves in the scientific world by their
explorations in the Himalayas, upper
Siberia and the wilds OF central AT
rica. They are not mere nomads
however. but have contributed large
1 ly to the fund of the worlds know
ledge by monographs on their discov-
cries. DR.. Gottfried Merzbacher OF
Munchen, Germany, is also n traveller
of note.
Probably Grand Junction has never
entertained at one time as many men
who are as famous in their own lines
of study as comprise the geographers'
party.

Barber left the scratch minutes
and 10 seconds after Knight. Rhone
had handicap over Barber OF 1895
and was around the track and right
behind Barber as he latter left the

As they swung past the grand
stand for the first time, IL was seen
that Barber was setting furious
pace, and II was also seen that Rhone
was glued like a leach to Barber's
hind wheel and did not intend to
be shaken. The two soon caught
Chapman, who also tackled on and
the trio tore around the track In
