IN LONELY CORNERS
Scouts # Science Seek Strange
FGes Of the Earth.
American Institutions Spend Vast
Sums in Exploration and Send
Their Men to the Darkest
Spots of the Globe.

New York-Up on the fifth or Office
floor Of the American Museum OF
Natural History, Just opposite the ele-
vators, Is a bulletin board, on which.
are painted fifty or sixty names OF
persons actively connected with the
institution. all Of them well known
and many of them famous through
out the scientific world. Opposite
each name is a little movable block

many Of them have been absent al
long time; that they are in the lonely!
corners OF the earth and that they
are not likely to be in for another
year or two These scouts Of science
come and go at long intervals, but
there are so many Of them connected
with the museum that every month
or so some one marks his departure
or arrival on the board.
AS matter Of fact such institu-
tions as the American Museum of Nat
ural History, the Field Museum in
Chicago, the National Museum at
Washington, and various European
institutions are doing the largest
share Of the geographic exploration
of the earth just at present. The
plan that each follows is usually the
same.
First they send out one man alone,
or two together, to penetrate some
remote region about which nothing Is
known. This is really a scientific
scouting party. The Instructions are
to move as quickly as possible, but
to make a thorough survey Of the
scientific possibilities Of the country.
When the scouts come back and res
port then a large expedition is fitted
out, arrangements being made for It
to stay in the field several years. The
scouts do not accompany this ex-
petition. They are off on another
reconnaissance IN some other distant
part of the world.

Just before Prof Andrews started
on his scouting expedition after the
Corean tiger, the writer asked him
what he feared most In venturing into
totally unknown, unexplored region.
Was 1t fever, or accident or hostile
natives, or all those things combined?
sThe only thing ever worry
about" replied Prof. Andrews. is
whether will get enough TO eat or
not. On an expedition where you are
travelling alone with just the smallest
number Of servants and going into
region that you know nothing about,
you can take only a limited amount OF
food. For the rest you have to rely on
the country.
.s1f you can't kill enough game or
catch enough fish, or find food in some
way, you're going TO starve. Il you
have plenty to eat, you needn't worry
about anything else Broken legs,
sickness, hostile natives aud SO on

was forced to address the crowd in the big room before he could start for his camp.
 Flynn was rushed to his camp from the arena He was not hurt except for the cuts and bruises on his face. He had nothing to say.
 The fight was utterly lacking in in- terest. It was like a training bout at Johnson's camp outside of the blood Flynn lost. There was not a cheer throughout the nine rounds, and the crowd accepted the action of the police with apparent relief. Long be- fore the end came, ringside opinion seemed to be that Flynn was eager to be disqualified. He was helpless as a child and made no effort to disguise his foul tactics.
 It was reported that Promoter Cur ley fulfilled has agreement with John son shortly before noon, handing the champion certified creek for $3l, 900. Curley said 1t represented his guar antee to Johnson of $30,000, win, lose or draw, and the additional $l,O00 as training expenses.
 Johnson weighed about PIP pounds when he entered the ring, while Flynn sealed a trjfe over 19o pounds. John sons reduction of the odds on his sent the general betting down to 10 to at the ringside. Before the fight had gone many rounds Johnson SUD- pofters were offering 10 to and find- ing few takers.

PROFESSIONALS
 NOT ALLOWED
YALE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ADOPTS RULE REGARDING
 ATHLETES WHO RECEIVE COMPENSATION.

The Yale university athletic com mittee has adopted a stringent rule as is eligibility on a university team, providing that no student shall par ticipate who has received directly or indirectly any compensation whatever for taking part in any athletic sports. Captains of teams are ordered to re- port any cases under suspicion, espe- cially those which involve playing for hotels and in summer sports. The player 50 investigated if found guilty will be .debarred from the university team.
 The annual report of the Yale Fiji, nancial Union for the past year shows that the reserve fund amounts to $81,- S46 as compared with $119,960 the pre- yious year, the decrease being ac- counted for by purchases for the new Yale field and cost of the boat house. Receipts and expenditures in the vari. ous major sports were as follows:
 Track athletes, receipts $2,S64, ex- penditures s12741; baseball, receipts $44,o14. expenditures $13,472; boating. receipts $4,969, expenditures $21,779; football, receipts $66.1s6, expenditures S45.75i: total receipts from athletics for the year were $11s,147, and the bal ance over expenses $150S4. The larg- est receipts were in the baseball game with Princeton, $16,347, and with Har- ward s14,741, while the football game with Princeton brought $2S,S4S, and the game with Harvard S33,106.
