Early in October a scientific expedition will arrive in Seattle, Washington, from Alaska, which will bring back infor- mation tending to throw additional light on the dark spot of modern sci- ence—what composes the inside of the earth. Announcement is male by the Na- tional Geographic society from its headquarters at Washington, that the sixth Mt. Katmai expedition of the society is preparing to sail from Ko- duuk islane after many months spent in fruitful scientific study of the unique speciacular natural phe- nomenon known The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, at the foot of the gigantic Mt. Katmai volcano. Not only has the expedition, head- by Dr. Robert F. Griggs, accumu- lated an amount of scientiflc data be- yond happiest anticipation, but ac- cording to a telegraphic report to the society, a fine harbor, not previ- ously known, has been found which affords a feasible route to this region of the innumerable vents of various kinds which spurt steams and vapors of almost unbelievable temperatures.
