NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM !
ACQUIRES RARE SPECIMEN
"Succtaclcd Hear" IJabitant of south
America. and II First Specimen
obtained by United States.

NEW YORK. March Ga mounted
"spcctaclcd bear from Venezuela has
recently been placed on exhibition in
the American Museum of Natural His
tory. The animal doesn't really wear
spcctaclcs. II derives it's name from
the grayish- white markings trimming
;hc eyes /: is one of the rarest spc-
cics Of bears known to exist. and the
only bear found in South America
Not much is known Of its habits but
they are generally supposed to be sim
liar 10 those of other bears. Typically
from the Peruvian Andes. the spcc;a-
clcd bear is commonly thought to
range along tho Andes from Colombia
to Chilli and Bolivia.
The specimen referred to here is the
first obtained by the museum. 1t is q
fully grown animal. its small size be-
ing characteristic OF the species. The
specialized bear. full-Grown, measures
only from three to four feet in length
The fur is short and stiT. the head
short and broad, and the profile arched
The body is black. the nose brown
ish-biack and tho grayish white
markings describing large ovals
around the eyes complete the sober
color scheme.
IL is a curious fact that while the
North American black bear appears 10
hc similar to the black bears of the
Himalaya and Japan. the South Ancri-
can black or specialized bear seems to
correspond with tho Malay bear OF the
more southern districts OF Eastern
Asia.

ANOTHER MAN IS
SAID TO HAVE
"FOUND" AMERICA

Washington, Sept: 2S.-How many
persons discovered America before
Christopher Columbus?
The latest addition to the line Of
claimants is Jon Skolp, a Norwegian
explorer. Sofus Larsen, a Danish sci
enlist who has recently made a report
founded on researches of archives of
the middle ages, a completed a work
which he says proves that Skolp, the
Norwegian, Undiscovered America" in
1476, 16 years ahead of Columbus and
twent years before John Cabot reach
ed the Strait of Hudson.
Larsen ses the term "rediscovered'
considering that the original discover
er was Lew Erickson the Norseman
in the year 1000. Larsen's researches
develop, he says that about 1475 the
king of Portugal sent a message to the
king Of Denmark and Norway, Chris
tan I, requesting him to ft out an ex-
petition and attempt to find a sea
passage to Asia-in reality a north
west passage. An old document to that
effect was found in the Danish state
archives. The expedition was headed
by the Norwegian German privateer-
Captain Didrik Pining and piloted by
the Norwegian pilot Jon Skolp, to
whom credit liz given for having reach
ed as far as Labrador and found part
of the actual entrance to the north
west passage.
In an old Spanish geographical work
on America, first published in 1852 by
francesca de Gomara. a priest of Sc
villa, It is mentioned that Labrador
was reached Tor the first time by Nor
wegian sailors, piloted by John Scol-
vus, (Jon Skolp). This information
was first made public by the Norwe-
gian professor Of history Gustav Storm
in 1885. But at THAT time this part
Of the history Of the discoveries wei
Still in its infancy. and isolated as it
was then, the information naturally
had to be used with great caution.
