The countries Interested In the exptxlition and which will have representatives with, it are the United States, England, Japan. Onmda, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and tha Philippines. Yale, Harvard and other educational institutions are supporting the project. Thera never has been any doubt that the Hawaiian, Samoan, Tahltian, Tongan and Maori are closely ikin. Their legends, speech, customs and build all testify to the relationship, but hitherto their origin has been lost In the mists of the ages. They believed by many scientists to be of Caucasian^ origin. Meanwhile the Polynesian is dying fasti" his race is passing out at high speed, and the investigations are being pushed with as little delay hs possible. . Louis R. Sullivan of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, has been conducting nvestigations along this line. Bodily, facial and •ranial characteristics of the Polynesian, accordng to Mr. Sullivan's tables, show that he is eleven./ •Hits Mongoloid, five parts European, five parts viohgoloid-European pnd two parts Mongoloid-Me* nimsrtan.

Establishing headquarters In" the prairie country 170 miles up the Mazarunl river, which flows Into the Essequibo, the diamond hunters will begin work on the alluvial lands bordering streams on <the eastern watershed of the Sierra Pacaralma mountains, which separate British Guiana from Venezuela. The area in which the expedition will operate #as been known since the middle of the last century as a rich diamond field, although Its Inaccessibility and the prevalence of tropical diseases - have served to discourage prospecting by white men. Thousands of carats of the gems, suid to . he as fine as any In the'world, however, are taken out annually by negro miners, employing primitive 'methods. * . .-'a, "Somewhere near every spot where diamonds are found In considerable numbers there must be a 'chimney'," explained Mr. LaVarre. The quality of stones taken from the vicinity where bis party will work points to a "chimney" as rich'or richer than those of the Booth African diamond fields. *. The vanguard *of the "missing link" expedition left New York the other day. The mission of the aCientlsts will keep them in Jhe vast untrodden areas of Asia for five years. When they return to America they hope to have evidence that the "missing link** between man and beast actually talsted. Also they expect to bring hack thousands of animal and botanical specimens to fill the proposed Hall of Asiatic Life In New York. ; /Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of two former aelentlflc parties into China, heads the expedition. Joined in Asia by scores of native guests, huntsmen. cooks and helpers, the scientists expect to IntrtMluce American automobiles, moving-picture cameras and other moderif machines on the Gobi desert, central Asian plateans, Tibetan steppes and otter little-known lands. The first base of the party will be established to Mongolia, where the scientists expect to remain 24 months before penetrating western China. After the vanguard has spent a year in Mongolia, 4 seccnd group of scientists will leave New York «9 Join them. Northeastern and central Asia will be thoroughly gone over In a study of the origin and migration of man, to prove or disprove the popular scientific belief that Asia was the center of dispersal of the human race, as well as for take years, each party profiting by the experience acquired by Its predecessors and each gaining a thousand or more feet on the previous record. One thing is certain, and that Is that the conquest of the highest peak in the world will be far and away the most terrific test of endurance human Itelngs have ever undergone. The journey to the uorth or south pole, as far as physical effort and moral courage are concerned, would be mere chlld'j ; compared with the ascent of a mountain mora than 211.000 feet high. The highest altitude yet attained is about 24,600 feet. e know that the number of feet an active dlml>er can ascend per hour diminishes with the ruinous folly. It may prove to be the •ery thing; but If It should not, one will want an emergency exit Does It ever occur to us that the hope of the world lies mainly In Just thaaa untamed spirits who rafqaa to aetUa down? Valparaiso Outdoor Elsvatora, Sailors attached to the United States fleet that is now cruising up the west coast of South America will find a fhinillar feature about the port of Valparaiso, in the event that their altitude.

Above 23,000 feet the uscensional rate falls below H00 feet nn hour even for exceptionally strong climbers. What !t( would be at 27,000 feet no one can say without eiperience. , "Judging by what we know of the diminution of the ascensional rate of strong climbers above 2B,<KHJ feet, it would seem doubtful whether it would he possible to ascend more than 100 or 150 feet an hour above 27,000 or 28,000 feet. And. moreover, these figures are based *>n the supposition that the party meets with no great dlfiicul ties, such as powdery snow, high wind, steep rdeks, sickness, etc." The one south pole exploration, now on the way, seems important. It is the British Antarctic expedition, headed by Commander John Lachlan Cope, fellow of th#' Ro.val Geographical society and formerly of the British navy. It has been financed for $750,000. and there will be five ships. 12o men, several airplanes and extensive wirelesa apparatus. The object is to circumnavigate the Antarctic sea. make a dash to the south pole, locate new whaling grounds and map fields that are supposed to lie rich in gold, silver, coal and rubles Plans have been made for an absence of five years. grown the confines of the narrow sealevel strip along the \*ater front and haa scaled the heights aoove.

The waters of Valparaiso harbor are po deep that breakwaters have been built only with the greatest difficulty. Instead of the ordinary blocks of concrete or stone, great hollow cement cubes, measuring 50 feet from corner to corner, are cast on shore, towed Into position, and sunk by filling them with stones. Such a breakwater Gulliver might have described in his tale of the Brobdlngnagiana.
