IPEARY'S MEN SIGHTSEEING IN AND. ABOUT NEW YORK Many Discoveries Made in American Museum of Natural History. New York, Oct. 7.—After months within the Arctic circle, the membe; of Commander Robert E. Peary's polar expediiton spent today exploring the vicinity of latitude 40 degrees and 45 minutées north and longitude T4 west. They made many discoveries in and about New York, for féew of them had even been sight-seeing before in a large city. They found that it was not alone in the frigid north that the reindeer; the muskox, the polar bear and other Arctic fauna might be seen. With but few exceptions they found all in New York, the American Museum of Natural History. With something of the same amusement that a farmer finds in a rural play, the explorers gazed at the stuffed mammals-of the north set:in glass cases amid imita- tion snow snd ‘ice. They found the haunts of the Eskimo pictured, relics of many an expedition less fortunate than theirs, and the bones of animals reputed to have frequented glacial re- gions eenturiec ago. At the American Museum of Natur- al Histor tomorrow the sledge which Commander Peary used in the dash to the pole, and other exhibits of the journey, will be placed on view. An ‘entire wing of the museum has been, turned into a “Peary - section,” more than six hundred specimens are shown. St. Louls, Oet..7.—Glenn H.
