'CO[. ROOSEN[TS TRIP
ATTENDED BY DANGERS
Grave PeriIs Await Him in
South America, Bishop
KinsoIving Believes.
Vast Territory to Be Explored.
Country Inhabited by Savages.
Travel by Water.

That the great inland trip through the
center Of South America that Is soon to
be undertaken by Col. Roosevelt and his
party, in the interest of science, will
yield a richer harvest in increased knowl-
edge by the world than his African jour
ney, and that it is also of more diff
cult and dangerous nature is the opin-
ion advanced by Rt Rev. DR.. Lucien Lee
Kinsolving, Bishop of Southern Brazil.
at Rio Grand do Sui, capital of the south
ernmost of the United States of Brazil.
DR.. Kinsolving is visiting in Washington.
and, in conversation last evening, spoke
of the vast territory to be traversed and
touched upon some of the dangers of
such tremendous trip.
1T is hard to realize the length Of such
journey, and the vast variety of coun-
try to be passed through" said Bishop
kinsolving. Nearly the whole length OF
the South American continent must be
passed over. as you can readily realize
If you look at the map in connection with
the verbal outline of the trip.
To Proceed by Waterways.
sCol Roosevelt and his party, which
is to be large one, and which, owing
to the absolutely wild state of the in
terror, must proceed almost entirely by
waterways, Is to. start on or about De.

Society, by experienced white guides ant
by native guides and crews and man!

geography. zoology, botany and other
sciences They intend to proceed up tn
La Plata to its large branch, the Pa
rama, and up that stream past Asuncion

back district of Brazil, a state named

Il would hardly say that" replied
Bishop Kinsolving. But It's a pretty
big undertaking, and one beset by dan
gers that are, to great extent, un-
known. No one really knows what is
to be found there. Travel in that re-
gion is too infrequent to give any
data for generalizations One party
might get through swimmingly and
another easily might all die of disease
or be killed by natives. The Indians
are savages-not turbulent ones. per-
haps, but savages none the less Ihere
may be 'tse-tse' flies at those head
waters. AS l said, no one really
knows But counting only the dangers
that are known to exist, there are
plenty to make 1t appear a grave un-
dertaking.
IT have heard it said by people who
should know that the African trip. both
from a standpoint of danger and OF
severity, was simple compared to this
one that he now contemplates. This
may be an exaggeration, of course. But
remember that this country has no trails
or roads whatever: the waterways are
the only roads. and to the waterways yot
must stick. And the amount OF informa
ton on them that is availible Is GER
tainly slender. Africa, wild as 1t Is, !:

Of them, for centuries. 1 once heard thu
Bishop Of Uganda say that the trai

past.

have heard myself from returned ex
plorers OF the swarms Of mosquitoes an
other pests, and a country that abound
